| Prepare for the Next Storm
StormCon®, the North American Surface Water Quality Conference & Exposition, and Stormwater magazine, will host three full-day accredited workshops and an exposition designed exclusively for stormwater and surface-water-quality professionals.
Join your peers in the Pacific Northwest at the Sea-Tac Marriott in Seattle, WA, December 1, 2006, for one of the following three full-day workshops, covering proven techniques for making your stormwater management programs successful.
Selection and Design of BMPs: Applying Unit Processes and Observational Data to Improve BMP Performance Results
December 1, 2006
9:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m.
0.5 Continuing-Education Unit
Highlights:
- The latest analysis results from the International BMP Database
- Applying unit processes information together with observational data to improve BMP selection and design
- Selecting and designing BMPs to protect stream integrity
- Emerging technologies: potential for enhanced treatment
- Low-impact development: How low is it?
- BMP monitoring and reporting: What are we doing, and what do we need to learn?
Stormwater and Receiving Water Monitoring and Testing: Integrating and Refining Methods for Better Outcomes
December 1, 2006
9:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m.
0.5 Continuing-Education Unit
Highlights:
- Stormwater monitoring overview: Industrial and municipal NPDES permit monitoring requirements, problems with traditional monitoring approaches, alternative approaches to provide more useful information for water-quality managers
- Advanced monitoring approaches and receiving water monitoring: What do we need to know to take better advantage of current approaches, and how can they be integrated for a bigger picture?
- Chemical monitoring: considerations for metals and organics, speciation, signature analysis, sampling and lab techniques
- Biological monitoring: What’s the difference between water-quality standards and aquatic toxicity, how do bioassays work, what does this tell us, and how are toxicants identified? What are bioassessments, and how can these be integrated with other evidence to identify where problems exist and where they don’t?
- Pathogens, bacteria source tracking: What methods work and how are they used to identify and fix sources? What pathogen issues are posed by stormwater?
- Physical monitoring in the stream channel: What morphometric approaches are best suited for assessing flow control BMPs, and over what scale and time?
- Continuous monitoring and networks: What can be sensed continuously better than sampling and how is it done? Success stories?
Practical Considerations in Stormwater LID Implementation
December 1, 2006
9:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m.
0.5 Continuing-Education Unit
Highlights:
- Removing regulatory barriers to LID implementation
- What makes a project low-impact?
- Pre-design modeling of LID storm systems
- Practical LID design considerations
- Maintaining LID system integrity throughout the construction process
- Evaluating the cost/benefit of the LID project
