Drainage and Erosion Control
Design, Construction, and Maintenance of Permanent Erosion Control Facilities, Storm Water Quality Treatment Basins, and Alternative Facilities
This one-day workshop introduces design, regulatory, and construction professionals to the latest permanent and temporary erosion control practices, techniques, and innovations in surface runoff water-quality treatment. Initial site investigation, plan preparation, regulatory approvals, inspection, and construction management practices are covered. Examples of successful and unsuccessful local erosion control projects are provided. The workshop gives participants an opportunity to learn about a range of cost-effective methods and designs.
