Course Overview
Managing stormwater runoff is becoming more complex every day. In order to comply with New Jersey’s highly comprehensive stormwater management rules (or the rules established in any other state), all types of professionals from engineers to project reviewers, developers and environmental planners need to acquire broader knowledge and new skills.
This course, led by Joseph Skupien (an expert with more than 25 years of NJ stormwater experience), is designed to address these needs by presenting the most pertinent and up-to-date information on the scientific and regulatory aspects of stormwater management.
Although there is an emphasis on NJ’s stormwater rules — some of the most comprehensive in the nation — attendees from any state will learn to better manage stormwater in their hometown. This stormwater management training will help you no matter where you live and work!
Featured Topics
- Overview of New Jersey’s Stormwater Management Rules, including groundwater recharge and stormwater quality requirements
- Evaluation, selection, and design of appropriate stormwater management practices and facilities
- Design of groundwater recharge facilities using the NJDEP’s Groundwater Recharge Spreadsheet
- Methodologies to address the NJDEP’s stormwater quality requirements
- Computation of runoff volumes, rates, and hydrography using National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) methodologies, including TR-55
- How to incorporate maintenance, safety, and aesthetic considerations into facility design
- Design and evaluation of nonstructural stormwater measures using New Jersey’s Nonstructural Points System (NSPS)
