If you are a consulting engineer or a member of a municipal operations staff, you will want to select the “Technical” track for presentations such as how to:
- Develop a realistic green infrastructure installation plan that your municipal road crew and public works departments can strategically implement to reduce flooding and improve stormwater quality
- Calculate the line-item costs of installing, operating, and maintaining the BMPs your municipality will need to develop a realistic municipal stormwater budget
- Work with private landowners to evaluate and design BMPs that they can install to further help your municipality achieve cost-effective compliance
- Use the available drainage ways, infiltration areas, and other water resources that nature has already given you (economic ecology)
- Locate the best places to do stream corridor restoration, one of the more cost-effective practices to reduce nutrient and sediment loads
|
For those with managerial and administrative stormwater responsibilities, you will want to select the “Policy” track for presentations such as how to:
- Create effective partnerships with other municipalities and private stakeholders to improve compliance and lower overall costs
- Develop joint municipal pollutant reduction plans (PRPs) that can lower the participating municipalities’ overall costs.
- Implement a rural stormwater fee to help farmers meet their stormwater responsibilities at the lowest cost
- Balance the construction of grey and green infrastructure projects for cost and appearance reasons
- Prepare for the next MS4 NPDES permit cycle, which will begin in 2023
|
Last year’s conferences were sold-out so make sure you register early to reserve your spot to learn cost-effective ways to improve compliance with your MS4 NPDES permit and state-of-the-art practices for improving your overall stormwater management program from the best in the business.
