Upgrading permits, training city staff, implementing new stormwater programs, updating the city's floodplain management ordinance
In 2014, the City of Midland selected Parkhill for on-call engineering services regarding the city stormwater master plan. Since then, Parkhill has performed many tasks for the city under this contract.
Parkhill worked with the city to prepare final contract documents to upgrade five city-owned industrial permits to meet the latest TCEQ standards. Parkhill trained city staff on best management practices for the city’s municipal storm sewer system, drafted a new stormwater ordinance, and updated and implemented new stormwater programs. This included preparing Notice of Intent forms, coordinating with city staff to create and document the updated stormwater management program summary, and helping the staff maintain a schedule of activities for the five-year permit cycle.
Parkhill also prepared citywide maps related to thoroughfare, utility, and drainage plans. The firm assisted with the city’s community rating system and updated the city floodplain management ordinance.
