This session is open to all registrants. The afternoon session provides hands-on spreadsheet exercises using theRunoff Reduction Method (RRM). Please note the following important items for the afternoon session:

  • Seats are limited to 50 persons for the afternoon session,

The United States Environmental Protection Agency has proposed enacting a national effluent limitation guideline that would require a certain volume of runoff be managed on-site. This requirement would apply to all new development and redevelopment disturbing 1 or more acre of land. Rather than capture, treat and release, on-site management will require practices that infiltrate, absorb, or harvest and reuse runoff. In addition, Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) analyses are identifying storm water flow and runoff quality as reasons why streams in urbanized areas of Ohio are not attaining their use designations. Green infrastructure is gaining momentum as a tool to manage these and other concerns. The Center for Watershed Protection has developed the Runoff Reduction Method as a tool to quantify the benefits of green infrastructure toward meeting regulatory goals.

Workshop presented by the NE Ohio Storm Water Training Council with the assistance of Ohio EPA, Summit SWCD,

Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Ohio LTAP Program and the Ohio Environmental Education Fund.
