Join us for a day of technical training to instruct engineers, city and county plan review staff, and private consultants on the structural and nonstructural best management practices in the Etowah Habitat Conservation Plan's Runoff Limits Manual. This manual will help builders and developers meet new stormwater performance standards required by the Etowah Habitat Conservation Plan.
The day will include chapter-by-chapter review of manual standards, descriptions of the nonstructural and structural BMPs covered in the manual, and detailed modeling and calculations for an example site in the Etowah.
