Overview

This one-day workshop features science based, technical information and research results related to the design and performance of stormwater treatment systems. It was developed for engineers and other professionals involved in the development or review of stormwater treatment designs, such as individuals from private consulting firms, public works departments, and planning offices.

Workshop Goal

Improve your ability to choose the stormwater treatment system or combination of systems that can achieve water quality targets in compliance with current and impending regulations, while at the same time effectively matching peak flows and reducing runoff volume.

What You'll Learn

Participation in this workshop will help you to....

aUnderstand the latest stormwater treatment system performance data from the University of New Hampshire Stormwater Center;

aUse this information to overcome technical barriers to effective design;

aUse understanding of system performance to address both water quality and quantity;

aCritique existing stormwater site designs for their ability to maximize performance.

You will explore how differences in the design and function of stormwater treatment systems can impact their ability to meet common engineering targets for stormwater management. The efficacy of connecting systems in treatment trains for targeted pollutant removal will be covered. You will have a chance to apply what you learn about system design and performance as you critically assess three professional site designs.

Cost

The workshop fee is $150.00 and includes all course materials and lunch.
