Greetings!
Registration is now open for our upcoming workshops addressing the newly revised Rhode Island Stormwater Design and Installation Standards Manual. Please visit the link provided below to register online.
As previously mentioned, these two workshops will be the first in a series to be held this winter and spring, related to new state initiatives in stormwater management.
Please be sure to bring your copy of the manual to the workshops. It will be used in the component of the program that focuses on design exercises.
Keep reading for details about each of the workshops in this series, including that registration link! |
