2021 National Watershed and Stormwater Conference
April 13th - 16th, 2021
The National Conference’s central theme is: Water Issues & Solutions to Climatic Regions Nationwide. As the climate changes, our water resource management techniques and research areas must also evolve. While different regions face specific concerns, there are ubiquitous lessons to be learned from our coastal communities that apply to regions throughout the country. This conference will explore high-priority water issues and solutions nation wide that also hold weight for communities in other climatic regions. The integration of coastal and upland restoration affects all coastal communities. Pollutants such as microplastics, water-borne trash, harmful algal blooms, and emerging contaminants of concern are pervasive across all climatic zones.
2021 Webcast 4: Planning & Implementation for TMDLs
May 19th, 2020, 1:00 - 2:30 PM EST
Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) calculate numeric targets for attainment of water quality standards set by federal standard for a certain pollutant. Effective TMDL implementation plans are often part of a larger, more comprehensive watershed planning efforts to determine which practices to achieve needed reductions. TMDL implementation plans will also require monitoring, tracking and logistical measures to demonstrate compliance. In this webcast we will use case studies and speaker experience to explore TMDLs and how to integrate and coordinate management practices to ensure compliance.
Speakers: Todd Weik of CBC Engineers & Associates, Ltd. and Brett Connell of Trutta Environmental Solutions LLC
