• BMP Design for Construction Sites

  An overview of design concepts for erosion and sediment control best management practices on linear projects. Topics include rainfall/runoff relationships, temporary and permanent channel liners, and sediment containment system design. Can be retrofitted for full day workshop or multiple sessions.

  Learning Objectives:

  1. In less than one day, learn a simple, step-wise process for selecting and designing sedimentation control devices!
  2. Review innovative designs for erosion, sediment, and turbidity control for linear and vertical construction applications.
  3. Pick up new technologies as a plan designer that you can incorporate into your next SWPPP to manage turbidity.


• Passive Treatment Systems for Turbidity Reduction

  An overview of passive treatment systems for turbidity reduction on construction sites. Introduce fiber check dams and wrapped rock dams that utilize flocculants to greatly aid in meeting effluent limitation guidelines. Showcase case studies where passive treatment systems are validated on active sites.

  Learning Objectives:

  1. Learn about how passive treatment systems use gravity to deliver flocculants
  2. Investigate various BMPs that utilize this system to manage turbidity on construction sites
  3. Review projects that have successfully incorporated this technology


• BMP Post Construction Inspection

  An overview of post construction stormwater inspection requirements. Focus on various post construction best management practices involving structural measures. Emphasis on proper installation and maintenance requirements for wet ponds, level spreaders, bioretention, grassed swales, and stormwater wetlands.

  Learning Objectives:

  1. Expand your knowledge on post construction BMP stormwater control measures
  2. Learn about the functional components for post contruction BMPs
  3. Identify key inspection and maintenance considerations for post construction BMPs
