"The regulatory landscape surrounding stormwater is changing, and as a result, municipalities and others must change their traditional approaches to stormwater management" 

-Rob Roseen, UNH Stormwater Center

On March 13, CRWA held an Urban Stormwater Management Seminar to inform municipal officials about the latest stormwater technologies, research and case studies from stormwater experts.  Presenters included CRWA’s Director of Projects Kate Bowditch, Rich Claytor of Horsley Witten Group, Steve Roy of Geosyntec, Paul Iorio of  Filterra, Ken Dews of RainStay and Rob Roseen of the University of New Hampshire Stormwater Center.  Presenters addressed topics such as municipal stormwater bylaws, Low Impact Development (LID) credits and regulatory compliance; LID in action around Massachusetts; stormwater best management practices (BMPs) for use in ultra-urban and residential settings; current field testing and research on stormwater BMPs; and strategies for “greening” the public realm.  Representatives from 18 of the watershed’s 35 cities and towns participated in the half day seminar.  This seminar was funded by the Massachusetts Environmental Trust and breakfast was generously donated by Filterra Systems.  If you are interested in obtaining copies of seminar presentations, click on the presenter's name above.

If you are a municipal official who would like to be informed about CRWA's educational opportunities in the future please contact Julie Wood.
