StormCon's educational opportunities await attendees even before the Tuesday morning kick-off.
Storm water professionals can take advantage of a variety of
pre-conference
workshops on Sunday and Monday. New workshops
will focus
on integrating storm
water programs with total
maximum daily loads and
watershed management plans;
advanced
best management practice (BMP)
design; and advanced post-construction
storm water inspection,
maintenance and repair.
One and two day training courses are the perfect way to
improve you skills in a specific area and receive the Professional Development
Hours (PDHs) or Continuing Education Units (CEUs) you need to earn or maintain
your professional certifications.
Featured workshop:
Advanced Post-Construction
Stormwater Inspection, Maintenance, and
Repair
Course Description:
This comprehensive
full-day
workshop will cover the
diverse areas of maintaining
post-construction
stormwater management facilities,
inspection
protocol, maintenance
requirements of infrastructure, and various
BMPs. Repair issues and
implementing a multi-site inspection
and maintenance
program will also
be covered.
Post-construction stormwater BMPs have been required to be constructed for
several decades. However, until recently, the inspection and
maintenance of
these facilities has been a relatively dormant
issue.
The lack of maintenance
and repair actions can cause
stormwater
facilities to become a liability, public
hazard,
and point source of
pollution. The result can be detrimental to the
environment and have
negative financial impacts for property
owners, managers,
and
municipalities. As regulatory
prioritization and enforcement of maintenance
issues vary
significantly, owners and managers of stormwater
infrastructure are
beginning inspection and maintenance programs for
varied
reasons. This workshop
explores the need for maintenance and
offers an insider’s look at the various
elements of a
stormwater
inspection, maintenance, and repair program. A wide
variety of
pertinent issues are reviewed, including design
purpose of devices,
inspection and maintenance procedures, and
alternative approaches.
