Stormwater Retrofit Planning & Design Training

Wednesday, April 6, 2011: 8:30 AM –4:30 PM
Location: Cornell Cooperative Extension Orange County, 18 Seward Ave, Third Floor, Middletown, NY 10940

Many watersheds have experienced water quality degradation due to an historical lack of stormwater management practices or ineffective planning regulations. Stormwater retrofitting combines the processes of determining how the receiving water is currently being impacted, establish restoration objectives, and evaluate alternatives that include mitigating past mistakes and seeking creative solutions to re-establish water quality in impaired watersheds. The “Urban Stormwater Retrofit Practices” manual published by the Center for Watershed Protection will be used for site specific projects by participating design teams on actual watershed locations.  Don Lake Jr., P.E., CPESC, CPSWQ is the instructor. Registration is required. Registration deadline is March 30, 2011. Cost is $225 per person if registered by the deadline, $275 thereafter. No refunds but substitutions are allowed.  For more information, contact Rose Baglia at rsb22@cornell.edu or 845-344-1234.  To register, contact Cathy Hughes at cah94@cornell.edu or 845-344-1234.
