Vermont's cities, towns, and villages are faced with a growing series of competing demands, not the least of which is grappling with rapidly changing requirements for managing stormwater runoff from developed lands and roadways.
Several new resources are now available for communities exploring the use of Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) to improve water quality and reduce the impacts of stormwater flows on municipal infrastructure and private property. Read on to find out more!
Join Stone's Amy Macrellis as she co-leads the Vermont League of Cities and Town's (VLCT) Webinar on a New Green Stormwater Infrastructure Simplified Sizing Tool, Fact Sheets, and Model Bylaw
Tuesday, November 10, 2015
2:00 - 3:00pm
This "how to" webinar will focus on practical applications of the new tool, which guides applicants in the use of ten types of best management practices to determine approaches to treat stormwater runoff from existing and proposed impervious surfaces on small sites (those that fall below the thresholds for state stormwater permitting). The tool and associated fact sheets are all intended to be used in conjunction with VLCT's revised Model Low Impact Development/GSI Stormwater Management Bylaw.
Stone developed the GSI Simplified Sizing Tool in consultation with VLCT's Water Resources Program and support from the Vermont Clean Water Initiative Program of the Department of Environmental Conservation.

The Stone team also recently supported the Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission's
Green Stormwater Infrastructure Workshops
. The workshops presented information, resources, and techniques for managing stormwater and water quality using green stormwater infrastructure at the local, municipal, and regional scales. These workshops also introduced the
Vermont Green Infrastructure Toolkit
-- a clearinghouse of information useful to Vermont municipalities exploring how to promote the adoption of Green Stormwater Infrastructure policies and practices to combat the problems caused by urban, suburban, and rural stormwater runoff.
