Case Study: City of Salinas improves stormwater asset management with 2NDNATURE Software

City of Salinas maps 20-year stormwater costs with 2NDNATURE Software

The City of Salinas, a Phase I MS4 municipality, faced the challenge of managing its aging stormwater infrastructure with significant data gaps, which made strategic planning and compliance with NPDES permit requirements difficult. To address this, the city partnered with vendor 2NDNATURE Software to implement a systematic asset management approach, utilizing their Stormwater Information Management System, 2NFORM, and the Stormwater Asset Management Model (SAMM).

By following 2NDNATURE's four-pillar framework, Salinas moved from scattered data to a centralized system, enabling risk-based asset prioritization and clear cost projections. The results included a comprehensive understanding of maintenance needs, streamlined compliance reporting, and data-driven justification for funding. 2NDNATURE helped the city transform from reactive crisis management to proactive strategic planning for its storm sewer system.
