The Pennsylvania Environmental Council together with the York County Planning Commission, York County Conservation District, and Cahill Associates is conducting a two-part workshop “Better Stormwater Management Through Site Design” on June 15 & 16 for municipal officials, Environmental Advisory Council members and engineers.

This practical training session addresses one of the most important issues facing suburban and rural areas with respect to water resource management: how to improve development proposals to incorporate best management practices with respect to water quality and quantity.

The workshop provides background on hydrology, impact of development, new stormwater regulations, overview of best management practices, municipal roles in stormwater management, and local project examples.

The engineer session will highlight issues such as infiltration testing, soil testing, and site testing.

All Participants will receive hands-on experience through case study work, will be provided a ‘checklist’ for design review, and will work together to evaluate an actual site design.

For more information or to register, contact Erin Albright, Pennsylvania Environmental Council, at ealbright@pecpa.org or 717-230-8044, ext. 18.
