One New Summer Workshop,
2 Dates Scheduled:
LID for Linear Transportation Projects: Using the RI Storm Water Standards Manual to Design Green Streets
Dates: July 13 or August 25, full day Location: RIDOT Training Center 360 Lincoln Avenue Warwick RI Cost: Free, but registration is required Who Should Attend: RIDOT employees and RIDOT consultants who are responsible for design of transportation projects. Municipal Public Works supervisors and engineers involved in roadway design or permit review will also find this useful. Description: Linear transportation projects present unique challenges for design of stormwater management systems, especially when applying new LID standards within a limited right of way. This workshop will focus on using the new RI Stormwater Design and Installation Standards Manual to design typical projects RIDOT engineers are expected to encounter regularly. The morning session will provide an overview of the new stormwater manual. In the afternoon, case studies of current RIDOT projects will provide practice exercises for applying the new standards. Case study examples will include road re-surfacing, sidewalk replacement and road re-design. To provide for active participation and discussion, class size is limited to a maximum of 40, each session. Priority is given to RIDOT staff and RIDOT consultants, with a limited number of seats reserved for MS4 staff. Reservations will be accepted in the order received. Presenters: Training will be conducted by the Horsley Witten Group, authors of the RI Stormwater Design and Installation Standards Manual and guidance documents related to highway stormwater management, including the 2005 New York DOT guide, Stormwater Management Planning Guidance for Transportation Projects. Draft agendas and registration details will be circulated in mid June. This event is co-sponsored by the Rhode Island T2 Center.  |
