This class covers two specific applications of stormwater Management and Land Planning: Redevelopment and Retrofits. Chapter 9 of the NYSDEC Stormwater Management Design Manual is dedicated to the unique design standards on re-development sites. Retrofitting the urban landscape with green infrastructure has proven to be a very effective tool for municipalities to improve water quality and reduce runoff in impaired watersheds. The class explores the numerous retrofitting opportunities and the techniques that can be employed to transform the conventional, hardscapes of developed areas to a more resilient form. Design examples, class exercises and case studies are presented along with the components of a successful municipal retrofitting program.

The Stormwater Construction permit is the template for designing Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) for development projects in NY. The new 5-year version of the permit has just been issued by DEC. This comprehensive class will guide participants through the many permit conditions and requirements pertaining to various development scenarios, as well as the steps of site planning, design, evaluation and reporting necessary for obtaining NYSDEC stormwater permit coverage in New York. Updates to the permit from the 2020 version will be emphasized.
