Stormwater credit trading is an innovative, market-based approach that enables infrastructure that reduces flooding to be built efficiently where it's needed most. The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago recently authorized stormwater credit pilots in two Cook County watersheds. The Nature Conservancy and the Metropolitan Planning Council will manage these pilots through our StormStore […]
Porous asphalt pavement is a stormwater management solution that reduces stormwater runoff, improves water quality, and reduces the footprint for stormwater management systems.
Trees have long been a valued feature of the urban landscape. They provide a host of benefits such as habitat, aesthetics, energy savings, and noise reduction. Trees are also an important part of the urban hydrologic cycle.
The design of urban stormwater practices has been under continuous evolution over the last five decades in response to new sizing criteria, flooding concerns, changing climate and practice failure. This webcast will look into the future about what the next generation of stormwater designs may look like, using bioretention and swales as case study. Future […]
Join CSWEA Wisconsin Watershed and Stormwater Committee and Marquette University for this webinar offering examples of WEF, regulatory agencies, wastewater utilities, and counties leading efforts to address the water quantity and quality challenges our communities face. Register here.
Presenter Eric Rortvedt, WDNR Water Resources Engineer, will go over the new WDNR technical standard of Proprietary Storm Water Filtration Devices (1010). These are commercially available flow-through devices to remove stormwater pollutants. They are generally below ground chambers with replaceable granular media cartridges or membranes. The potential use and general sizing of these devices to […]
The workshop has a focus on BMP maintenance, TMDL compliance, and more. Experts from around the state will share their experiences in building and maintaining BMPs. Also included are updates on technical standards, restoring ecosystems, green infrastructure, working with CAFOs, and water quality trading. 8 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) will be offered. The registration deadline is Thursday, April 15, on this […]
Precipitation events in urban areas often result in stormwater runoff containing a diverse array of chemical contaminants with recent evidence suggesting that these include trace organic compounds (TrOCs), including pharmaceuticals, personal care products and pesticides. This webinar will discuss the findings of a study characterizing sources of TrOCs and their potential contribution to groundwater through […]
Learn techniques to manage construction site stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) and eliminate problems before they cause higher costs and slowdowns for your project. Save time and money by avoiding erosion and sediment releases. Learn about Wisconsin regulations and requirements for construction site inspection, EPA SWPPP requirements for inspections, proper documentation procedures, how to recognize […]
There are many publications reporting the performance of isolated stormwater controls, but relatively few that have examined how the use of many of these controls function at larger scales and for long periods of time. Researchers, stormwater managers and regulators need to know answers to such questions as: Are source area distributed controls effective in […]
The Wisconsin Association for Floodplain, Stormwater, and Coastal Management (WAFSCM) is excited to announce that this year’s conference is being co-hosted by the Minnesota ASFPM chapter. Professional Development Hours (PDHs) and Continuing Education Credits (CECs) can be earned at the main conference on Thursday. The main conference will include plenary and speaker sessions throughout the […]
Join us Wednesday, November 10th to hear Katie Richgels discuss actionable ways for residents to reduce stormwater runoff from reaching the lakes. Land use and climate impacts, such as heavy rain and runoff, and other headwinds threaten our progress toward healthy lakes. Fortunately, you don’t need to live on the lakes to make a difference […]
