Engineering / GIS Stormwater Intern

This year the intern program will focus on stormwater management.  SIPOA has been working to implement various stormwater projects over the past 10 years to be better prepared for rain and tidal flooding events and promote a more resilient stormwater management system.  These projects include infrastructure rehabilitation, pump station replacement / renovations, tidal flood prevention, sea level rise adaptation, and stormwater marsh outfall maintenance.  We will create a summary of all completed and planned stormwater projects in an ESRI StoryMap that will be used to educate residents.  We will also investigate nature-based living shoreline marsh stabilization opportunities on Seabrook Island and conduct feasibility analysis.  There will be a combination of field data collection and office work required to complete the scope of work.  Qualified students should have knowledge of stormwater management practices, coastal science, barrier island marsh ecology, sea level rise adaptation, and/or ESRI ArcGIS software user experience.
