Green Infrastructure: Putting it to Work, the next seminar in our Riverfront Communities – Best Practices Training Series, will give participants the tools to implement green infrastructure – beyond the basics – through on-the-ground case studies and experiences from communities across the Wasatch Front, and globe. Keynote speaker, Hillary Brown who is a fellow of the Post Carbon Institute as well as a professor at City College in New York, will highlight precedents to provide inspiration for what is possible in the world of green infrastructure. Local experts will ground these precedents in experience and provide a format for the pursuance of next steps. Participants will come away with the nuts and bolts of implementing green infrastructure in their communities, addressing various permitting programs (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Permit and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans), constructing alternative stormwater systems, and retrofitting existing stormwater facilities to better address stormwater management and quality.
