Summary Sentence: The Impacts of Storm Water: New Technology and Regulations

Full Summary: Join practitioners, regulators, academics, manufacturers and visionaries to network and exchange information on the challenges, successes and opportunities related to storm water. Storm water runoff occurs when rain or snowmelt flows over the ground. It picks up debris, chemicals and other pollutants and carries them directly to our rivers, lakes and streams. Businesses, builders, developers, engineers, consultants, contractors, scientist, state and local officials, and homeowners should attend.

Storm water is the leading cause of water impairment in the United States.  Storm water runoff occurs when rain or snowmelt flows over the ground. Along its way, storm water picks up debris, chemicals, and other pollutants and carries them directly to our rivers, lakes and streams. Polluted storm water runoff can have many adverse impacts on plants, animals, and people. 

This symposium will bring together practitioners, regulators, academics, manufacturers, and visionaries to network and exchange information on the challenges, successes and opportunities related to storm water.  Businesses, builders, developers, engineers, consultants, contractors, scientist, state and local officials, and homeowners should attend.  

Through a panel discussion and Q&A you will hear:

 

●The need for storm water and water quality regulations and management

●New storm water technology

●Compliance with Federal, state and local regulations

●Historic and current methods and techniques of storm water management

●Engineering case studies illustrating what “to do” and what “not to do” regarding storm water, flood and water quality management projects and more.
