It is not easy to separate “policy” from “technical” in something like a stormwater ordinance, but as a bunch of scientists and engineers we want to make sure that we understand where the line between the two is.  The technology behind this blog imposes some limitations,  and we now understand that it is our choices of topics that have not adequately given voice to issues of “policy” or “procedure”.  So, thank you for your patience, forgive us, and please help us by commenting on this post with any topic you think needs to be its own discussion thread in this blog.  We will then post on each topic separately, which will give anyone interested a chance to engage on the issue.
