Sami Khalil
Jefferson Parish Dept. of Environmental AffairsStormwater Management Supervisor, Jefferson Parish Dept. of Environmental AffairsMr. Khalil’s primary role is an environmental quality supervisor with the EPA-mandated Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Program, which is designed to protect the public, as well as prevent the pass through of pollutants to receiving water bodies through the regulation and monitoring of discharges to the Parish’s drainage system. His work ethic, positive team spirit, and adaptability have been a driving force behind implementing the MS4 Division’s public education campaign designed to make businesses and the public aware of best management practices designed to prevent major pollution to our water bodies. Mr. Khalil is a great believer in educating the general public about the drainage system especially about the pollutants that pose a threat to the environment and public health. He formed a Stormwater Task Force Coalition with his co-permittees and other key players in the region and became responsible for coordinating with his co-permittees all aspects of the Louisiana Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit and the Stormwater Management Program (SWMP).
