Online Training- Stormwater Retrofiting Webcast Set For October 14

The Center for Watershed Protection will hold a Stormwater Retrofitting webcast on October 14 starting at noon Eastern time.

Join speakers from CWP, as well as guest speakers from local government and the private sector as they share their experiences and lessons learned.

While stormwater management regulations are typically focused on new development activities, local watershed and stormwater management goals cannot always be met by simply installing stormwater management practices on new development sites.

In many urban and suburban watersheds, the landscape has already been developed without stormwater controls. This can make it difficult to address local watershed and stormwater management goals, such as reducing pollutant loads to meet total maximum daily load regulations. The task at hand for watershed managers in these already developed urban and suburban watersheds is watershed restoration.

This webcast will focus on the restoration of urban and suburban watersheds through stormwater retrofitting. In particular, it will discuss the design and implementation of stormwater retrofit practices featured in CWP's Urban Stormwater Retrofit Practices manual, which discusses retrofitting existing urban lands, such as parking lots, residential streets, conveyance systems and landscaped areas.

The webcast will also provide information about the cost and pollutant removal performance of stormwater retrofits.
