Live Webinar: Designing Manufactured Treatment Devices (MTDs) with Maintenance in Mind
2023-07-11 13:00 - 14:00 (America/Chicago)
This presentation aims to help engineers better understand how to design MTD’s with maintenance in mind, the integration of O&M information into the BMP selection process and the factors that impact MTD maintenance cost. 0.1 CEU / 1.0 PDH

Live Webinar: Refining the Indian River Lagoon Pollutant Loading Model
2023-05-23 13:00 - 14:00
A custom model of nutrient loadings to Florida’s Indian River Lagoon, IRL, was developed by three counties and 13 municipalities. Join Stormwater University speaker, Gordon England, on May 23rd, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. CST as he explains the Spatial Watershed Interactive Loading model, SWIL, used satellite data and current modeling methods to more accurately predict nutrient loadings in the IRL than the method utilized by EPA for TMDL allocations. The resultant nutrient load model reduced EPA’s projected TMDL loadings and BMAP requirements in a subsection of the IRL by 29,000 pounds a year. This equated to an approximate reduction of $14,400,000 per year over 15 years of retrofit costs by local governments. This webinar will discuss SWIL demonstrated that groundwater baseflow loadings were higher than stormwater runoff loadings for the IRL and that EPA’s nutrient TMDL allocations were not achievable by runoff treatment alone.

Live Webinar: Porous Paving

StormCon
2022-09-26 08:00 - 2022-09-28 17:00 | Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, National Harbor, MD, United States
Endeavor Business Media, LLC and the National Rural Water Association (NRWA) will hold their annual conferences, StormCon and WaterPro Conference, as parallel events on September 26-28, 2022 at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, MD. Each event will feature separate conference programs with the added benefit of a joint exhibit hall where attendees can network with vendors and service providers from both events.

Stormwater Regulations Done Right
2022-07-19 13:00 - 14:00
Stormwater regulations are a hodgepodge of different rules, methods, and calculations for different components of the hydrologic cycle. Everyone is completely focused on their separate piece of the stormwater pie without their acknowledgement of the bigger stormwater picture. Doug Beyerlein described this problem in his article “It is all the same water” in the November/December 2019 issue of Stormwater magazine.
Now in his webinar, STORMWATER REGULATIONS DONE RIGHT, Beyerlein presents a single, coherent picture of how all of the components of stormwater can be managed using one engineering tool that encompasses the entire hydrologic cycle. Whether you are dealing with hydromodification, water quality, drawdown time, LID, or wetland protection, all of the required stormwater regulations can based on the same set of data using the hydrologic cycle.
Learning Objectives
Attendees can expect the discussion and education of the following learning objectives.

Explain how solving just one component of stormwater runoff results in creating other problems in the process.
Discuss the importance of understanding the whole hydrologic cycle and how it can be used to solve stormwater problems.
Recognize the hurdles to producing consistent stormwater regulations.
Identify the one tool that can tie together all stormwater regulations in a coherent, useful package.
