    Key Points Discussed

    00:00 Welcome, Guest intro, and session goals “Today we’re gonna talk about achieving SWPPP success and really using sustainable BMPs to achieve results.” ~Joe Moore

    05:10 What sustainability means per EPA “To pursue sustainability is to create and maintain the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony.” ~Joe Moore

    08:02 Why stormwater was early to sustainability

    10:00 Geotextiles 101 and microplastics concerns

    14:59 USFWS 2022 findings on plastic netting and silt fence

    18:01 Better specifications and installation details that matter “Are we impacting the animals in a negative way? The answer is of course yes.” ~Joe Moore

    23:33 Jobsite realities: straw wattles, wildlife, roadway safety

    25:04 Five technologies to know: B-netting, Flexamat, FODS, GatorBox, permeable systems “We really wanted to design one that could be left behind.” ~Joe Moore

    33:43 Post-construction ideas: manage runoff where it falls

    35:03 Global water context and why choices matter

    40:00 Spec book gaps and a Virginia update example

    44:01 FAQ: cost and whole-life value versus first cost

    46:12 FAQ: regulatory adoption and landfill fate “We gotta pivot and do it a little differently, or put a little bit more forethought.” ~Ty

    51:10 Joe’s personal why and first-fish story “I’m a clean water freak.” ~Joe Moore

    “The first one of the trip always gets a kiss on the lips.” ~Joe Moore

    In this episode, Stormwater World host Ty hosts Joe Moore of Siltworm and ECS to dig into practical sustainability for construction stormwater. Joe discusses what “sustainable” really means in stormwater practice, especially for SWPPP design that protects water, wildlife, and budgets over the full lifecycle. They unpack risks from polymer-based BMPs, including microplastics and wildlife entanglement, and highlight U.S. Fish and Wildlife guidance favoring loose-weave or natural-fiber blanket options. Joe walks through practical alternatives such as biodegradable perimeter controls, vegetated hard-armor like Flexamat, reusable entrance mats from FODS, and portable dewatering units like GatorBox, while stressing that long-term maintenance and risk often outweigh lower upfront costs. The conversation closes with data trends, why many spec books lag field reality, and Joe’s personal “why” for clean water.

  • The Raindrop Connection with John Teravskis

    The Raindrop Connection with John Teravskis
    2025/09/12
    Did you know that this podcast is produced by Digital Stormwater B2B Visibility & Digital Marketing, making a difference in stormwater 1 click at a time? Check them out at DigitalStormwater.com Key Points Discussed 00:02 – Introduction: Ty introduces John and highlights his new book. “John wrote an encyclopedia for stormwater. No, I’m just kidding. He wrote a book and we want to talk about that book.” – Ty Garmon 01:56 – Why Write a Book? John explains his motivation and how California’s credentialing requirements played a role. 04:20 – Credentials and Experience: John details his background, licensing, and the importance of underlying certifications. 11:17 – SWPPPs as Dot-to-Dot Drawings John compares writing SWPPPs to kindergarten dot-to-dot exercises. “Each little thing we do on a job site when it comes to stormwater management isn’t a standalone event. They all interrelate, they all connect.” – John Teravskis 15:26 – The Donut Counter Analogy John explains how formulaic SWPPPs can overlook pollutants. 19:10 – Common Disconnects Discussion of static SWPPPs, vague specifications, and the importance of detail. 25:39 – Beyond California The book includes requirements for all 50 states. 29:01 – Resources and Templates John shares that the book comes with SWPPP templates and supporting reference tools. 33:23 – Re-Categorizing BMPs John introduces “raindrop BMPs,” “speed bump BMPs,” and others for easier understanding. “Fast moving water is the enemy of erosion control. So we were very intentional about recategorizing these BMPs.” – John Teravskis 35:28 – The Maintenance Challenge Conversation about implementation and team buy-in. “You’re talking about the biggest disconnect of them all. This is where most programs become disconnected.” – John Teravskis 40:55 – Who the Book is For: John explains that he wrote it with construction workers in mind, but it’s valuable for professionals across the stormwater field. 47:00 – Acknowledgments John thanks his company and peer reviewers who helped shape the book. 49:32 – Dedication Ty reads the dedication from the book, emphasizing its purpose for those who want to understand the “whys and hows.” 50:47 – New App: GetStorm.io; John introduces an upcoming SWPPP-writing app designed to support stormwater professionals. In this episode of the Stormwater World Podcast, Ty welcomes back John Teravskis of WGR Southwest to talk about his new book, The Raindrop Connection. John shares the story behind writing the book and explains why connecting the “dots” of stormwater management is essential for effective SWPPP programs. He highlights the risks of formulaic approaches and the importance of collaborative SWPPPs. The conversation covers nationwide applicability and John’s upcoming SWPPP-writing app, offering stormwater professionals practical tools to strengthen compliance and field implementation.

  • Stormwater Drainage System Design with Jamie McCutchen, P.E. from Rymar Waterworks

    Stormwater Drainage System Design with Jamie McCutchen, P.E. from Rymar Waterworks
    2025/08/06

    Key Points Discussed

    [00:02:00] Introduction to Jamie McCutchen and Rymar Waterworks

    [00:05:00] Basics of Skimmer Basin Design Jamie outlines the three fundamental principles: basin volume, dewatering time, and flow rate.

    [00:08:00] State Standards for Sediment Basins

    [00:13:00] Why Specifying Skimmer Flow Rates Matters “If you just say ‘three-inch skimmer’ and don’t specify the flow rate, you might end up with one that flows half or double what you intended.” — Jamie McCutchen

    [00:14:00] Free Skimmer Design Tools from Rymar Jamie walks through their web-based tool to help engineers specify acceptable flow ranges and choose the right skimmer.

    [00:21:00] Good vs. Bad Skimmer Installations

    [00:23:00] Using Skimmers for Post-Construction “If we’re pulling water from the surface during construction, which is cleaner, why not do that post-construction too?” — Jamie McCutchen

    [00:28:00] Modeling Skimmers in HydroFlow

    [00:32:00] Filtration-Based Water Quality Design Jamie introduces a two-stage filtration skimmer system designed to handle flow up to the two-year storm event and tested to ASTM standards.

    [00:38:00] Benefits of Skimmer + Filtration Systems “You're treating even the smallest trickles, not just first flush volumes. And the skimmer makes filter maintenance much easier.” — Jamie McCutchen

    [00:42:00] Volume-Based vs. Filtration-Based Design Comparison

    [00:51:00] Summary of Results “With the filtration skimmer system, you're reducing pond size, treating more runoff, and improving water quality.” — Jamie McCutchen

    [00:53:00] The Marlee Float and Digital Sitebox

    [01:00:00] The Origin of the Marlee Float “My daughter Marlee was elbowing me all night and I couldn’t sleep. That’s when I thought of the skimmer design.” — Jamie McCutchen

    In this episode of Stormwater World Live, host Ty speaks with Jamie McCutchen, P.E., founder of Rymar Waterworks, about the design and application of skimmers in stormwater drainage systems. Jamie explains the fundamentals of skimmer basin design for both construction and post-construction use, emphasizing the importance of flow rate specification and sharing examples from state guidelines. He introduces a new filtration-based design that improves water quality treatment by combining surface-level skimming with a two-stage filter, supported by ASTM-tested results. The discussion includes practical modeling steps using HydroFlow, tips on skimmer installation, and a comparison of filtration-based versus volume-based water quality designs. Jamie also shares the origin story behind the Marlee Float and highlights innovations like the Digital Sitebox for jobsite compliance.
