Agenda
Live Webinars
Morning Keynote (11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Eastern):
Green Infrastructure Solutions for Wet Weather
The use of green infrastructure promotes sustainability and has a variety of benefits. This session will show examples of storm water BMPs used in locations such as Omaha, Neb., Kansas City, Kan., Grand Rapids, Mich., Cincinnati, Ohio and Los Angeles, Calif. as well as present some special tools and technologies that have been developed, such as a GIS-based green infrastructure locator that has worked quite well in these diverse locations. In most cases, green infrastructure is most effective when balanced with the appropriate traditional, or grey, infrastructure. The webinar will discuss how to create this balance.
Also to be discussed is how green infrastructure helps meet regulatory requirements and fits within financial constraints. The 45-minute presentation will be divided into three roughly equal sections covering national green infrastructure practices, case studies on the use of green infrastructure to address wet weather issues and a comparison with international green infrastructure. Participants earn one PDH.
Presenters:
• Dr. Les K. Lampe, Vice President, Black & Veatch Corp.
• Jeff Henson, Director of Water Resources and Associate Vice President, Black & Veatch
• Jim Schlaman, Engineering Manager, Black & Veatch
Moderator:
Andrew Demers, President, Stormwater USA
Afternoon Keynote (1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern):
Collaborative Storm Water Management Solutions
This webinar will illustrate the challenges faced by storm water management professionals in the Little River sub-watershed. Examples will be given of how — by partnering with a local business association to implement greener storm water management solutions — the water programs and policies in the city of Newburyport, Mass., have improved. Participants earn one PDH.
Presenter:

On-Demand Webinars
Construction’s 10-Step Guide to Implementing an Environmental Compliance Program
Participants will learn how to implement an effective environmental compliance program through a profit-proven 10-step process. These 10 steps will help to determine, with a risk assessment mindset, which strategies are the most important in maintaining environmentally compliant projects with minimal interruption to daily work activities.
Participants will earn one PDH.
U.S. Water Prize Winners Webinar Series: Philadelphia's "Green City, Clean Waters" Program
Philadelphia’s "Green City, Clean Waters" program is the first of five 2012 U.S. Water Prize Winners profiled in this webinar series. Sponsored and administered by the Clean Water America Alliance, the U.S. Water Prize Program is a celebration of sustainable solutions that advance holistic, watershed-based approaches to water quality and quantity challenges.
Participants will earn one PDH.
A Consultant's Guide to Smart Water Networks
In this webinar, Dale Pennington, Managing Director of Utiliworks Consulting, will take attendees through best practices for selecting and utilizing smart water networks, including answering common questions and addressing issues that Dale has encountered as a consultant for utilities implementing these networks nationwide. Doug McCall, Director of Marketing at Sensus, will also present; educating attendees on the common needs, questions and success stories from utilities implementing smart water networks.
Participants will earn one PDH.
Low Impact Development and the Basics of Bioretention
Low Impact Development (LID) embodies a paradigm shift in how land is developed and how storm water is managed from that development. LID is achieved through the implementation of techniques that mimic pre-development hydrologic conditions by addressing storm water runoff at the source point versus the “end of the pipe.” The Bioretention system, which reduces runoff volumes while decreasing pollutant loads found in nonpoint source flow, represents one of the most commonly applied Low Impact Development devices in green infrastructure today. This webinar will introduce the basics of Bioretention systems, how they work, why they work and how they can save on project costs.
Participants will earn one PDH.
U.S. Water Prize Winners Webinar Series: Converting Industrial Food Process Water into High Quality Drinking Water for Direct Reuse — PepsiCo Frito-Lay
This webinar will discuss design criteria and operational and water quality data, including some of the lessons learned during the design and startup of this project. LPRO membrane fouling was the most challenging issue and required much time and investigation to resolve. Currently, the combined MBR-Activated Carbon-LPRO membrane system is running at 75% water recovery and producing high quality permeates that meet U.S. EPA Primary and Secondary drinking water standards. This is the first industrial water recovery and reuse plant in the U.S. that converts food process water into drinking water quality for direct reuse in production. Annually, this plant will save more than 100 million gallons of fresh water in state of Arizona.
Participants will earn one PDH.
