About the Presenters
Prior to retiring in April 2023, Dr. Mike Trojan was a hydrologist with the State of Minnesota for more than 30 years. After spending the first 15 years working on groundwater issues, he saw the light and moved into the stormwater world, spending his last eleven years as caretaker of the Minnesota Stormwater Manual. Mike is now a technical lead for the Stormwater Testing and Evaluation for Products and Practices (STEPP), a Center of Excellence of the National Municipal Stormwater Alliance (NMSA).
Dr. Elizabeth Fassman-Beck is Head of Department of Engineering at Southern California Coastal Water Research Project. Her primary responsibility is to implement SCWWRP’s Stormwater BMPs (best management practices) research theme. Her research in urban stormwater management quantifies the hydrologic and water quality performance of BMPs, with an emphasis on green infrastructure (GI)/Low Impact Development (LID) technologies such as living (green) roofs, bioretention systems (rain gardens and planters), permeable pavements, swales, and floating treatment wetlands. Research outcomes have led to numerous publications in highly respected journals, a co-authored technical book, Living Roofs in Integrated Urban Water Systems, and design specifications for regulatory agencies in New Zealand and North Carolina.
Dana Stayer is a Regulatory Specialist for StormTrap. She works to manage regulatory approvals, and provide technical assistance to regulators, design engineers, and consultants with the selection and evaluation of post-construction BMPs. She is involved in numerous stormwater organizations across the Eastern US and has a passion for educating the public on the importance of stormwater management. Dana is a graduate of Valparaiso University with a B.S. in Civil Engineering, specializing in stormwater and environmental engineering.
