Peters & Dixon Teach May 21 Webinar on Construction Site Stormwater Management

Brock Peters, CISEC

Brock Peters and J.B. Dixon will teach you that compliance doesn't have to break the bank. With a change in mindset, many of the everyday problems on construction sites could be eliminated. Attendees will learn that stormwater management is part of all construction projects and they do not have to view compliance with disgust, anger, dread or resignation.

Expert Chat June 8 with Steven Polk
This month's chat is Designing Post-Construction BMPs with Operations and Maintenance in Mind and is June 8, 1pm Mountain and 2pm Central. Because maintenance of BMPs is often an expensive surprise for owners, location and accessibility must be recognized as an integral part of a facility life-cycle cost. In this session, we will share some of the lessons learned during the 3.5 years since the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District adopted the 2000 Maryland Stormwater Design Manual. The Expert is Steven W. Polk, PE, MBA of Stormwater STL of St. Louis, MO. Steve has been involved in the engineering industry for more than 35 years, where he has been actively involved in the design, construction, monitoring and maintenance of stormwater BMPs. This Chat is open to members only. Details will be posted on the IECA website and sent to all members soon.
