A free workshop entitled, “Better Stormwater Management Through Site Design” will be held by the Adams County Watershed Academy on June 21 at the Adams County Agriculture and Natural Resources Center in Gettysburg.

The workshop participants will discuss: hydrology, impact of development, new stormwater regulations, overview of best management practices, ordinance concepts, the new DEP Stormwater Management Manual, municipal roles in stormwater management, and project examples.

Participants will get 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. A light supper will be provided.

Workshop sponsors include the Department of Environmental Protection Watershed Academy, Adams County Conservation District, Adams County Office of Planning and Development, the Land Conservancy of Adams County, Watershed Alliance of Adams County, Cooperative Extension Service, Pennsylvania Environmental Council, and Cahill Associates.

If you may have any questions or would like to register, please contact Cynthia O’Malley, Pennsylvania Environmental Council, at comalley@pecpa.org or call 717-230-8044, ext. 10.
