About the Program

The Advanced BMP Design workshop will provide an overview of engineering design guidelines, site considerations in BMP selection, and step by step instructions for BMP selection and sizing.

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 Advanced Stormwater Design Academy Agenda will include:

• Stormwater wetland and bioretention design

• Level Spreaders

• Permeable pavement structural and hydraulic design

• Interactive case studies

It is recommended that participants in the Advanced BMP Design workshop have attended the Stormwater BMP Academy.

This workshop is designed with engineers in mind.
Be sure to bring your calculator, engineering paper, and sharp pencil!
