About the Program
Stormwater 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
Stormwater BMP Academy
will address these storm water management questions while looking
at innovative urban and suburban storm water BMPs.
The
Stormwater BMP Academy Agenda will include:
|
|
•Overview
of stormwater wetlands, bio-retention, permeable paving and
green roofs
•Functions, engineering standards, and vegetative requirements
of stormwater BMPs.
•Stormwater regulations and programs in Alabama. |
| Lead
Instructor
