Jay M. Stone, P.E., BCEE, CFM, CPESC, CPSWQ, CWPPP, LEED AP

This presentation will feature three case studies to retrofit existing stormwater infrastructure with non-LID and LID best management practices in a tropical urban environment. The projects were completed on a fast-track design and agency outreach process due to lapsing funds. The projects are part of the municipal government to stimulate the local economy after the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

• Understand how to implement stormwater BMPs in an urban setting with Hawai‘i’s unique environmental, physical, and cultural characteristics.
• Address green and gray infrastructure challenges, including site selection and maintenance requirements that fit the resources of the local municipality.
• Understand the importance of data collection to meet MS4 permit requirements.
