We are a network of over 10,000 stormwater professionals and while we are primarily comprised of professionals within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed! Through this expansive network of individuals, we are able to align and integrate the efforts of thousands of individuals working on the stormwater problem across the Bay. The Chesapeake Stormwater Network (CSN) runs the Chesapeake Bay Stormwater Training Partnership (CBSTP) which is a collaborative effort with multiple other organizations across the Bay watershed to provide free, targeted training to stormwater professionals throughout the Bay watershed in order to address the stormwater problem and improve water quality in our streams and rivers and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay. CSN also serves as the Stormwater Technical Coordinator for the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP). As the urban stormwater technical coordinator, CSN is responsible for facilitating urban BMP review panels,or “expert panels”, which establish pollutant removal rates for urban BMPs for use in meeting the Chesapeake Bay TMDL.
