Previously Held Training Workshops

This instructive workshop will provide an understanding of the relationship of a creek and its watershed.  Local examples will be discussed along with minimization strategies to incorporate for projects both site specific and regional.  This will be an advanced workshop focused around design and policy decisions and their impacts to a developing watershed.

700 H Street, Room 6711 (Downtown Sacramento County Administration Bldg) Sacramento, CA 95814 

Come learn about parking lot and urban tree solutions, including:

• Pervious Concrete Pavement
• Bio-retention
• Structural Soil

In this 3 hour workshop you can learn how these innovative techniques reduce impact to stormwater quality and trees. Hear how pervious concrete offers improved filtration and can capture oils and chemical pollutants. Learn how structural soil can be compacted to meet engineering requirements for paved surfaces, while still allowing roots to grow freely, under and away from the pavement, thereby reducing sidewalk heaving.

There will be an optional field trip to Bannister Park in Fair Oaks after the workshop. Transportation not provided.

Come join us for a workshop on Better Site Design concepts and an Introduction in Low Impact Development (LID). The Sacramento Stormwater Quality Program is sponsoring this program which includes a presentation by Tom Richman. Tom Richman is a nationally recognized leader on integrating stormwater into the environment. He was the primary author of Start at the Source. Come learn about integrating stormwater quality into the initial design to achieve better results and possibly lower costs.
