National Stormwater Trust, Inc. (NST) is a stormwater management company that recently partnered with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to provide regional stormwater treatment services for the benefit of its customers and the environment. Through this public-private partnership with FDOT, NST develops, permits, and operates regional stormwater facilities and can permanently reserve for NST customers a specified volume of stormwater treatment capacity to offset the stormwater treatment requirements associated with any size project. NST’s customers can fully develop their property without setting aside the land or capital usually required for stormwater ponds. Further, ongoing costs associated with pond maintenance are avoided. Additionally, under certain circumstances, a customer’s existing ponds may be eligible for decommissioning and redevelopment after being re-permitted in an offsite NST facility. NST has opened the Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Manatee County markets and will be opening the inventory of FDOT stormwater facilities along the Interstate I-4 corridor between Tampa and Orlando (including Orange County) market in the next 90 days. NST also can take over the management of existing stormwater facilities and create and oversee a program to generate incremental revenue for the owner. We’re currently looking for existing stormwater ponds at locations such as airports, seaports, state and local governments, education campuses, businesses, industrial and commercial parks, and retail and residential developments. How are we able to do this? By centralizing the management of a large number of regional ponds and utilizing advanced treatment technology, NST delivers efficient, professional services and improved regional water quality.
