Welcome to StormCon’s 12th annual

conference and exposition.

We at Forester Media look forward to

bringing the country’s leading educational

program for stormwater professionals to the

palmetto state this year. We will continue to

offer you quality educational opportunities,

a show floor demoing the leading technologies

in the industry, and a perfectly balanced

conference experience.

Our Coastal Protection Symposium, taking

place concurrently with StormCon, focuses

on infrastructure protection in coastal cities,

ports, and industrial complexes in the face of

sea level rise and potential shoreline changes.

The audience for the symposium includes

federal, state, and municipal agencies

responsible for flood control and emergency

planning, urban planners, civil engineers,

and municipal and industrial facilities

managers and engineering staff.

We all continue to have our challenges in a

difficult marketplace. That makes it a

very real necessity to get face to face with

the providers of the equipment, expertise,

and services you require for your communities.

No other conference in the world offers you

this affordable opportunity to directly interact

with such a highly representative,

influential group of professionals who are

passionate like you about water-quality issues.

I encourage you to spend some time with

this program and discover just how diverse

our course offerings are. They certainly will

address the issues and concerns that you

have to confront each day no matter where

you are in the country, or world for that

matter. Take advantage of the pre-conference

accredited courses, certification offerings,

and our new Coastal Protection Symposium.

Our networking opportunities outside of the

curriculum are designed to allow you the

time to network and meet colleagues who

are facing similar challenges.

Experience all StormCon has to offer. We

hope to see you there.

After 34 years of public service, he continues to pursue many of the same issues he was passionate about while serving: making America a cleaner, more efficient place and fostering investment in our nation’s crumbling infrastructure. Rendell has become a champion for progress in the area of alternative energy and now serves as a consultant or board member for sev-eral green and alternative energy firms.

Perhaps no other issue has been as important to Governor Rendell as America’s dire need to rebuild and reinvest in its infrastructure. As Governor, he worked with Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to create “Building America’s Future,” which focuses on the need for a more significant investment in American infrastructure projects to ensure that America maintains its place as a global economic power. Governor Rendell currently serves as co-chair of the organization and travels throughout the country speaking about this issue.

Before serving as Mayor, Rendell was elected District Attorney of Philadelphia for two terms from 1978 through 1985. Rendell also served as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee during the 2000 Presidential election. He currently sits on several boards, is a Brook-ings Fellow, and teaches government and politics courses at the University of Pennsylvania. He is also a news analyst with NBC and special counsel with Ballard Spahr LLP. Governor Rendell recently penned his first book, A Nation of Wusses: How America’s Leaders Lost the Guts to Make Us Great. An Army veteran, he holds a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania and a J.D. from Villanova Law School.

PRE-CONFERENCE COURSES


BMP Selection to Improve Your Watershed

Monday, August 19 • 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.0.5 Continuing Education Unit

Room 208

Why Attend This Course?Selecting the right Best Management Practices (BMPs) is crucial for protecting and improving watersheds, but understanding the array of choices and the conditions in which different BMPs are most effective can seem overwhelming. This comprehensive workshop guides program managers and engineers through the criteria neces-sary for selection of the most effective BMPs for a project.

It begins with a discussion types of pollutants and their sources, moving into an overview of pollutant removal unit processes, fol-lowed by a discussion on regulations for impaired waters, NPDES, TMDLs, and Numeric Nutrient Criteria. The next part of the course addresses the difference between new development BMP design and retrofitting existing development for TMDL compliance.

A detailed description of 33 BMPs is given—from ponds, alum injec-tion systems, and constructed wetlands, to various types of media filters, inlet devices, sand filters, hydrodynamic devices, and more. Low Impact Development rainwater harvesting methods and ap-plications will be demonstrated. A section on selection criteria gives participants a list of factors for making the best choices, including not only pollutant removal effectiveness, but also types of pollutants, available space, groundwater level, soil type, and maintenance costs.

The workshop also includes discussions of first flush, monitoring of BMPs, and BMP Removal Efficiency databases. Several computer models and case studies of pollutant loading calculations for TMDL compliance and pollutant removal calculations for BMPs and treat-ment trains are demonstrated. An in-depth look at BMP inspections and maintenance will also be given along with a method to track sediment removals from street sweeping and maintenance activities to achieve reductions in TMDL allocations.

“What Gets Measured Gets Managed.” How Are You Measuring Environmental Compliance?

Monday, August 19 • 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.0.5 Continuing Education Unit • Room 204

Why Attend This Course?This fresh approach to stormwater compliance for construction sites will focus on strategies that are not necessarily highly technical, rather they demand high levels of common sense. If you, or your construction site exposes more than an acre of disturbed soil you already understand the confusing, comprehensive regulations sur-rounding stormwater compliance. What the industry or the regulatory professionals have not yet provided is a simple, plain approach to satisfying these regula-tions. What can one construction site do to manage the runoff and still remain profitable? This course will be the first step in demystifying the intense broad regulations that affect construc-tion projects all throughout the United States. Further, this course will focus on determining with a risk assessment mindset what strategies are the most important in maintaining an envi-ronmentally compliant project.

In addition to on site examples, this course will look into the design issues that often set projects up for failure. The participant will learn important lessons and mistakes to avoid when correctly assessing a site for environmental compliance and determining what practices will best manage compliance. Finally, the participant will learn

what to do when unforeseen circumstances occur. How to plan for extreme situations and what types of language to include for rapid response procedures.

Although not intended for academic purposes, this course will speak to strategies and processes of compliance. The course will focus on techniques, not specific practice installation or performance stan-dards. In addition, the goal of this course is to share common mis-conceptions, techniques that expose sites to the highest level of risk, and the common sense strategies for compliance that many sites do not take full advantage of.

Finally, this course will provide the participant with specific tech-niques, for each phase of construction, that will aid the site manager in making sure their project is not fined. In addition to case history examples, interviews with project managers, and site environmental penalty examples this course provides real data to consider when making site management decisions.

The key concept remains; plain, construction-focused language that will allow the participant to make informed decisions for environ-mental compliance.

Fire and Rain:Rapid Assessment and Emergency Mitigation Measures Following Wildfires

Monday, August 19 • 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.0.5 Continuing Education Unit • Room 206

Why Attend This Course?Wildfires are becoming a common occurrence in the western United States, and rather than seasonal perturbations, they ap-pear to be occurring at all times of the year as well. In southern California, hot, dry winds blow from the desert in a phenom-enon known as Santa Ana conditions. Strong, shifting, and west-ward blowing, these winds—when combined with high tempera-tures, low humidity, and drought—create the perfect condition for fast spreading, uncontrollable fires. In Colorado and other mountain states, bark beetle infestation has killed trees already weakened by disease and years of drought, creating tinder-dry conditions in thousands of acres of national forest. Lightning strikes, accidents, and the inevitable incidents of arson cause sig-nificant loss of vegetation and increase the potential for erosion, debris flows, runoff, and flooding hazards. Human health and safety is compromised not only during the incidence of fire, but in its aftermath as well, particularly in the urban interface.

The process of rapid assessment of post-fire hazards and the emergency mitigation of primary and secondary impacts re-quires efficient collection, processing, and analysis of field data and conditions. Geosyntec Consultants has used a number of in-novative and recently developed tools and techniques during the hazard assessment, mitigation, and implementation process to improve the efficiency of the collection of field data to improve the ability to make time-critical engineering decisions. These tools included: deployment of ruggedized personal digital as-sistants (PDAs), a whole-project field data management solution, the use of 1 meter pan-chromatic and 2.4 meter multi-spectral satellite imagery, analysis of post-fire imagery to delineate burn areas based on satellite imagery, and low-altitude aerial pho-tography to refine estimates of burn severity and watershed response.

This course provides an overview of the post-fire assessment, planning, and mitigation process with site-specific examples of the tools and techniques applied, as well as a summary of the results of remediation efforts, lessons learned, and a discussion of the appropriateness of the technologies as a function of the magnitude and complexity of the task at hand following wild-fires. A team of instructors experienced with multiple wildfire incidents throughout the western United States will cover the following topics:

The Money Tree: How Post-Fire Emergency Remediation Gets Funded:• Roles and responsibilities of local, state, and federal agencies• Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)• USDA/NRCS/Emergency Watershed Protection Program (EWP)

• USFS/Burned Area Emergency Rehabilitation (BAER)• FHWA/Emergency Transportation Operations for Disasters (ETO)• Other state and local programs

Evaluation and Assessment of Hazards:• Identification of hazards and potential impacts• Immediate actions• Homeowner and public programs• Resources available• Process and estimation• Incremental planning and implementation• Selection of Best Management Practices (BMPs)• Economic defensibility• To seed or not to seed

Implementation and Mitigation:• Labor and materials• Contracting• Logistics• Accounting• Follow-up and as-built

InstructorMike Harding, senior consultant, Geosyntec Consultants

Mike has played key roles in the emergency soil stabilization efforts following several major California wildfires, including the 1991 Oak-land firestorm, 1993 Southern California fires, and the 2003/2007 San Diego County and City Fires. Nationally, his efforts on over 40 emergency response plans have focused on leadership, financial assistance, and technical guidance in the form of post-fire hazard assessment, design of mitigation strategies, and oversight of exten-sive mitigation implementation efforts before the onset of winter rains. His guidance to the City of Oakland contributed to their being awarded the Environmental Excellence Award in 1992 by the Inter-national Erosion Control Association and the Engineering Excellence Merit Award in 1992 by the Civil Engineers and Land Surveyors of California (CELSOC). His work following the 2007 Firestorms in southern California contributed to the County of San Diego and Geosyntec Consultants receiving the Award of Excellence from the American Society of Civil Engineers and the City of San Diego/Geosyntec being awarded the Outstanding Civil Engineering Project for 2007 by ASCE as well.

COASTAL PROTECTION SYMPOSIUM

The extraordinary infrastructure damage caused by Hurricane Sandy is expected to be an increasingly common occurrence around the world, and the mid-Atlantic states are seen as the most vulnerable part of North America. How prepared is your community for the next big storm? How resilient are your basic systems and vital infrastructure?

Join us to explore these questions and learn from the experiences of others. The second Coastal Protection Symposium, presented concurrently with StormCon in Myrtle Beach this summer, will focus specifically on infrastructure protection in coastal cities, ports and commercial and industrial complexes in the face of sea level rise and potential shoreline changes.
