11 BMP Selection to Improve Your Watershed Monday, August 19 8:00 a.m. 4:00 p.m. 0.5 Continuing Education Unit Room 208 Why Attend This Course? Selecting the right Best Management Practices (BMPs) is crucial for protecting and improving watersheds, but understanding the array of choices and the conditions in which different BMPs are most effective can seem overwhelming. This comprehensive workshop guides program managers and engineers through the criteria necessary for selection of the most effective BMPs for a project. It begins with a discussion types of pollutants and their sources, moving into an overview of pollutant removal unit processes, followed by a discussion on regulations for impaired waters, NPDES, TMDLs, and Numeric Nutrient Criteria. The next part of the course addresses the difference between new development BMP design and retrofitting existing development for TMDL compliance. A detailed description of 33 BMPs is given from ponds, alum injection systems, and constructed wetlands, to various types of media filters, inlet devices, sand filters, hydrodynamic devices, and more. Low Impact Development rainwater harvesting methods and applications will be demonstrated. A section on selection criteria gives participants a list of factors for making the best choices, including not only pollutant removal effectiveness, but also types of pollutants, available space, groundwater level, soil type, and maintenance costs. The workshop also includes discussions of first flush, monitoring of BMPs, and BMP Removal Efficiency databases. Several computer models and case studies of pollutant loading calculations for TMDL compliance and pollutant removal calculations for BMPs and treatment trains are demonstrated. An in-depth look at BMP inspections and maintenance will also be given along with a method to track sediment removals from street sweeping and maintenance activities to achieve reductions in TMDL allocations.

12 What Gets Measured Gets Managed. How Are You Measuring Environmental Compliance? Why Attend This Course? This fresh approach to stormwater compliance for construction sites will focus on strategies that are not necessarily highly technical, rather they demand high levels of common sense. If you, or your construction site exposes more than an acre of disturbed soil you already understand the confusing, comprehensive regulations surrounding stormwater compliance. What the industry or the regulatory professionals have not yet provided is a simple, plain approach to satisfying these regulations. What can one construction site do to manage the runoff and still remain profitable? This course will be the first step in demystifying the intense broad regulations that affect construction projects all throughout the United States. Further, this course will focus on determining with a risk assessment mindset what strategies are the most important in maintaining an environmentally compliant project. In addition to on site examples, this course will look into the design issues that often set projects up for failure. The participant will learn important lessons and mistakes to avoid when correctly assessing a site for environmental compliance and determining what practices will best manage compliance. Finally, the participant will learn Monday, August 19 8:00 a.m. 4:00 p.m. 0.5 Continuing Education Unit Room 204 what to do when unforeseen circumstances occur. How to plan for extreme situations and what types of language to include for rapid response procedures. Although not intended for academic purposes, this course will speak to strategies and processes of compliance. The course will focus on techniques, not specific practice installation or performance standards. In addition, the goal of this course is to share common misconceptions, techniques that expose sites to the highest level of risk, and the common sense strategies for compliance that many sites do not take full advantage of. Finally, this course will provide the participant with specific techniques, for each phase of construction, that will aid the site manager in making sure their project is not fined. In addition to case history examples, interviews with project managers, and site environmental penalty examples this course provides real data to consider when making site management decisions. The key concept remains; plain, construction-focused language that will allow the participant to make informed decisions for environmental compliance. Instructor Jennifer Hildebrand, CPESC, CPSWQ, CESSWI, CISEC, environmental compliance manager, WSB and Associates Inc. Jennifer has been involved in the erosion and sediment industry for over 18 years. She has a master s degree in business administration from Augsburg College, and specializes in compliance strategies within the stormwater market.

13 Introduced for the first time at StormCon just last year, Fire and Rain sold out quickly and we re very pleased to offer it this year in Myrtle Beach. Fire and Rain: Rapid Assessment and Emergency Mitigation Measures Following Wildfires Monday, August 19 8:00 a.m. 4:00 p.m. 0.5 Continuing Education Unit Room 206 Why Attend This Course? Wildfires are becoming a common occurrence in the western United States, and rather than seasonal perturbations, they appear to be occurring at all times of the year as well. In southern California, hot, dry winds blow from the desert in a phenomenon known as Santa Ana conditions. Strong, shifting, and westward blowing, these winds when combined with high temperatures, low humidity, and drought create the perfect condition for fast spreading, uncontrollable fires. In Colorado and other mountain states, bark beetle infestation has killed trees already weakened by disease and years of drought, creating tinder-dry conditions in thousands of acres of national forest. Lightning strikes, accidents, and the inevitable incidents of arson cause significant loss of vegetation and increase the potential for erosion, debris flows, runoff, and flooding hazards. Human health and safety is compromised not only during the incidence of fire, but in its aftermath as well, particularly in the urban interface. The process of rapid assessment of post-fire hazards and the emergency mitigation of primary and secondary impacts requires efficient collection, processing, and analysis of field data and conditions. Geosyntec Consultants has used a number of innovative and recently developed tools and techniques during the hazard assessment, mitigation, and implementation process to improve the efficiency of the collection of field data to improve the ability to make time-critical engineering decisions. These tools included: deployment of ruggedized personal digital assistants (PDAs), a whole-project field data management solution, the use of 1 meter pan-chromatic and 2.4 meter multi-spectral satellite imagery, analysis of post-fire imagery to delineate burn areas based on satellite imagery, and low-altitude aerial photography to refine estimates of burn severity and watershed response. This course provides an overview of the post-fire assessment, planning, and mitigation process with site-specific examples of the tools and techniques applied, as well as a summary of the results of remediation efforts, lessons learned, and a discussion of the appropriateness of the technologies as a function of the magnitude and complexity of the task at hand following wildfires. A team of instructors experienced with multiple wildfire incidents throughout the western United States will cover the following topics: The Money Tree: How Post-Fire Emergency Remediation Gets Funded: Roles and responsibilities of local, state, and federal agencies Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) USDA/NRCS/Emergency Watershed Protection Program (EWP) USFS/Burned Area Emergency Rehabilitation (BAER) FHWA/Emergency Transportation Operations for Disasters (ETO) Other state and local programs Evaluation and Assessment of Hazards: Identification of hazards and potential impacts Immediate actions Homeowner and public programs Resources available Process and estimation Incremental planning and implementation Selection of Best Management Practices (BMPs) Economic defensibility To seed or not to seed Implementation and Mitigation: Labor and materials Contracting Logistics Accounting Follow-up and as-built Instructor Mike Harding, senior consultant, Geosyntec Consultants Mike has played key roles in the emergency soil stabilization efforts following several major California wildfires, including the 1991 Oakland firestorm, 1993 Southern California fires, and the 2003/2007 San Diego County and City Fires. Nationally, his efforts on over 40 emergency response plans have focused on leadership, financial assistance, and technical guidance in the form of post-fire hazard assessment, design of mitigation strategies, and oversight of extensive mitigation implementation efforts before the onset of winter rains. His guidance to the City of Oakland contributed to their being awarded the Environmental Excellence Award in 1992 by the International Erosion Control Association and the Engineering Excellence Merit Award in 1992 by the Civil Engineers and Land Surveyors of California (CELSOC). His work following the 2007 Firestorms in southern California contributed to the County of San Diego and Geosyntec Consultants receiving the Award of Excellence from the American Society of Civil Engineers and the City of San Diego/Geosyntec being awarded the Outstanding Civil Engineering Project for 2007 by ASCE as well.
