The interest in and use of low impact development (LID) stormwater management is increasing rapidly in the Puget Sound region.
As part of the Puget Sound Initiative, Washington State University will present a series of four new LID technical workshops in four locations around Puget Sound. Funding for the workshops is provided by the Puget Sound Partnership. These two-day workshops, with instruction by regional and national experts in the field, will provide the technical details necessary to properly design, build and maintain LID practices.
Course Topics:
The two-day workshops will provide the designer with the current state of knowledge on these topics and more:
- Bioretention siting, sizing and modeling techniques, designing surface and subsurface drainage components, and soil mixes.
- Permeable paving specifications for permeable asphalt, concrete and other paving systems, subgrade preparation, base materials specifications, and maintenance.
- Vegetated roof modeling, cistern design, low impact PIN foundation design.
- Site planning, clearing and grading, LID construction sequencing, and inspection.
