ASCE webinars are great for us. We are in a remote location and it is difficult to get quality training for our staff without much expense. - Anonymous Attendee

Have you wondered how to handle the unique considerations related to implementing post-construction stormwater BMPs in cold-weather climates? This customized webinar is tailored to your concerns and draws on recent research from the U.S., Canada, Norway, and other leaders in this field. This webinar provides an overview of issues related to deployment and implementation of post-construction stormwater BMPs in cold environments, addresses hydraulic, hydrologic, and pollutant removal capabilities in cold climates, and provides recommended design modifications. Participants also learn about maintenance strategies to enhance long-term performance.

This webinar addresses time-proven post-construction BMPs as well as state-of-theart BMPs recommended for cold-weather conditions. We combine the latest research from the U.S. and abroad with practical recommendations for addressing issues related to deploying and implementing BMPs in cold-weather climates. Participants learn about changes in performance of constructed and manufactured BMPs with varying temperatures along with water quality concerns due to salting and sanding. As a bonus, maintenance strategies to reduce sedimentation and improve water quality are provided. The companion webinar to this one addresses cold-weather issues related to implementing LID.

• Gain exposure to the latest research in BMP performance in cold-weather conditions
• Understand how temperature variability affects constructed and manufactured BMPs
• Discover how to select the appropriate BMP for your cold-weather project
• Learn valuable maintenance strategies to enhance water quality performance and reduce sedimentation
• Become familiar with stormwater BMPs most recommended for cold climates

Anyone seeking to understand post-construction stormwater BMPs appropriate for cold-weather climates, including: consulting engineers, public agency engineers and reviewers, USACE engineers and other personnel, architects, landscape architects, environmental scientists, and sustainability coordinators and Engineers in Training (EITs) will benefit from this webinar.

• Cold-weather BMP Issues
