v <br />Western Kentucky University Stormwater Utility Survey 2019 <br />ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS <br /> <br />This year I am seriously indebted to Jerry Bradshaw of SCI Consulting Group in Fairfield, California who <br />provided many citations for stormwater utilities not previously in my database. Thank you, Jerry. <br /> <br />I am also indebted to the Wisconsin chapter of the American Public Works Association for their excellent <br />survey of Wisconsin SWUs (Wisconsin APWA [2019]). Their 2019 survey came out just days before mine. <br /> <br />I want to thank Mike Gregory of Computational Hydraulics International for his updates on Canadian <br />stormwater utilities. Also, the University of North Carolina Environmental Finance Center has identified <br />several SWUs that I have included in this survey. <br /> <br />Black and Veatch (2018) publishes an excellent stormwater utility survey with more detailed information <br />about the SWUs in their survey. In 2018 seventy-five SWUs responded to their survey. It is a very <br />worthwhile survey and should be read by anyone interested in stormwater utilities. <br /> <br />The author is grateful to Professor Randel Dymond and his graduate students Kandace Kea and Amanda <br />Dritschel at Virginia Tech for work they did on past surveys and the database. <br /> <br />Since 2007, many of the SWUs in this survey were identified by our undergraduate students who are listed <br />below. I am very proud of the fact that 59 of my students have passed the Certified Floodplain Manager <br />(CFM) exam. When I came to Kentucky in 2004, I was the 7th CFM in the state. There are 11 states with <br />fewer than 59 CFMs so we are making a contribution to floodplain management. Students contributing <br />to the 2014 and 2016 surveys were: <br /> <br />Kain Kotoucek, CFM <br />Cory Smith, CFM <br />Megan Jones, CFM <br /> <br />Students contributing to the 2013 Survey were: <br /> <br />Jordon Begley <br />Walker Bruns <br />Clayton Cook <br />Aaron Dockery <br />Gabriel Goncalves de Godoy <br />Chris Heil <br />Eathan Johnson <br />Carson Joyce <br />Zach Neihof <br />Ashley Penrod <br />Tyler Sweetland <br />Kirk Thomas <br />Dylan Ward <br />Rory Watson, CFM <br />Doug Woodson, CFM <br /> <br />Students participating in the 2012 survey were:
