Agenda

An Introduction to Stream Restoration Using Natural Channel Design workshop was held on January 21 & 22 in Huntsville, Alabama at the Winfred Thomas Agriculture Research Station.

This 2 day workshop introduced principles of fluvial geomorphology - the science of stream channel dynamics. Participants will learn about stream processes related to channel formation, field assessment, techniques to identify bankfull stage, the Rosgen classification system for natural streams, channel evolution, and restoration options for impaired streams. Dr. Greg Jennings of North Carolina State University will emphasize stream conditions specific to the southeastern U.S. Case studies will be presented to demonstrate effective natural channel design techniques. Workshop instructors have experience working on more than 40 stream assessments and restoration projects throughout the Southeast. Each participant will receive a reference manual.

* This workshop has been approved for 1.15 CEUs from Auburn University
and 10 Continuing Forestry Education Credits (CFEs)

Agenda

Storm water regulations in Alabama and across the country are targeted on BMP design.

· But which "Best Management Practices" really work the best?
· Which design techniques are most effective?
· What site considerations have the greatest impact on design efficiency?

The Storm Water BMP Academy will address these storm water management questions while looking at innovative urban and suburban storm water BMPs. Workshop will be held at the Winfred Thomas Agriculture Research Station north of Huntsville, Alabama.

Workshop topics include:
Stormwater wetlands, bio-retention and level spreaders.

Functions, regulations, engineering standards, and vegetative requirements of stormwater BMPs.

Stormwater regulations and programs in Alabama.

The lead instructor is Mr. Bill Hunt, PE. Mr. Hunt is the Extension Specialist in Urban Stormwater Engineering at North Carolina State University. With extension agents and other partners he has established urban stormwater BMP demonstration sites in the majority of targeted communities within the Neuse River Basin and across the state and has organized various workshops and tours for professionals in the state of North Carolina.

 

* This workshop has been approved for .6 CEUs from Auburn University.
