Design of Stormwater Management Systems

This two day course presents a comprehensive view of stormwater management with a “hands-on” emphasis of current design practices. Discussions include regulatory framework, overview of Best Management Practices (BMPs), water quantity and quality issues. Design procedures for several BMPs are presented including detention/retention, bioretention, infiltration, and filtration. Participants will perform actual design calculations (bring a calculator!) which includes developing hydrographs, determining storage requirements, sizing a release structure and hydrologic routing. Water quality calculations include determining water quality volumes, designing for extended detention, and sizing sand filters and bioretention systems. This course is based on several nationally recognized state stormwater management manuals. 1.4 CEUs
