What Is ALOAS?

Both the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) recommended that the public be included in the developing, implementing, and reviewing of the stormwater management programs for PHASE II Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) through the establishment of an advisory committee.  The ALOAS Stormwater Advisory Committee (2001 - present) is an advisory committee that serves the City of Auburn, Lee County, City of Opelika, Auburn University, and City of Smiths Station.  This advisory group began as a citizen advisory group on May 22, 2001, but overtime, has transitioned to a stormwater advisory committee made up of the City and County employees of the Phase II MS4 area communities.

The ALOAS members meet on a quarterly basis to review and provide input on current stormwater management plans, stormwater educational materials, and review of current ordinances/policies.  As part of the educational requirement of the Phase II MS4 permit, the ALOAS stormwater advisory committee has authored many stormwater brochures along with obtaining other stormwater educational material from outside sources to provide stormwater education to the public.  These stormwater brochures and other stormwater educational material are available electronically via downloading from the current webpage or by contacting the City's Water Resource Management Department Watershed Division at (334) 501-3060.

The ALOAS stormwater advisory committee is open to receive citizen concerns, ideas and/or comments regarding the stormwater programs/stormwater management plans of each of the Phase II MS4 entities.  To provide concerns, ideas and/or comments regarding the City of Auburn's Phase II MS4 program/stormwater management plan, please contact the Watershed Division manager at 334-501-3060 or via email at msmith@auburnalabama.org.
