Managing Stormwater on Brownfield Sites


Thursday, March 8

7:30 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. Networking
8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Program
Barr Engineering, Edina


PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Trends in stormwater management increasingly involve low-impact development techniques to infiltrate or reuse stormwater rather than allowing it to runoff into large pipes and detention facilities off-site. Brownfields, for a variety of reasons, pose an inherent challenge to sustainable stormwater management.

JOIN US for a discussion about the latest trends in stormwater management, the conflicts that occur when designing stormwater management systems for brownfields, and innovative examples of how those challenges have been addressed on a variety of redevelopment sites throughout Minnesota.
