This workshop is highly recommended for design consultants, as well as municipal planning, engineering and urban design professionals who are involved with wet weather management responsibilities, i.e., storm water, combined sewer overflows, sanitary sewer overflows and non-point source runoff. The workshop will encourage conversations with national experts, municipal operators, state and federal regulators, as well as design professionals about the benefits and costs of green infrastructure. This is an opportunity to learn about green infrastructure with respect to the NPDES (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System).
