Free Webcast Series on Stormwater Management and Low Impact Development Techniques

The Izaak Walton League is hosting a free, four-part webcast series on the latest techniques available to help transportation agencies save money, comply with water regulations, and improve water quality with context-sensitive stormwater management and low impact development techniques. This series will provide valuable information to decision makers at transportation departments, design engineers, planners, regulators, students, maintenance supervisors, construction engineers, and consultants.

The series includes the following programs:

• Introduction to Alternative Practices to Manage Highway Runoff (May 18, 1-2:30 pm EST) — This session will explore alternative practices to manage highway runoff using low impact development (LID) principals;
• Planning Highway Projects Using Alternative Practices for Stormwater Management (June 15, 1-2:30 pm EST) — The session will include factors to consider in watershed-scale planning and how to save costs over the life-cycle of projects by planning projects in ways that allow design engineers to take advantage of existing stormwater management properties of the landscape; and
• Design, Construction and Maintenance Part One (Sept. 21, 1-2:30 pm EST) and Part Two (Oct. 26, 1-2:30 pm EST) — Attendees will learn detailed information about how to design, construct and maintain stormwater management techniques that use existing rights of way immediately adjacent to the roadway; including several case studies.
