0.8 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) or 8 contact hours are being offered to participants through the University of Illinois at Chicago's Great Lakes Center.

The purpose of the training is to educate and inform public and private sector stakeholders in rapidly developing municipalities on integrated stormwater management technologies and low-impact development for Phase II planning, while presenting research to support these practice recommendations. The training will provide case studies of stormwater plan design and implementation and will offer a hands-on site planning activity for participants. It will also provide a forum for the creation of a resource network between municipalitieas, facilitate discussion between private developers and engineers and public municipal staff, and address economic and regulatory issues.

Stormwater management technologies to be covered include wetlands, vegetated roofs, rain water cisterns, permeable paving, native landscaping, filter strips, rain gardens (biofiltration), drainage swales and naturalized detention basins.

Training audience:

For engineers, planners, developers, consultants, county and municipal officials, zoning officials, and other stakeholders.

Trainings are made possible by a generous grant from Chicago Wilderness.
