Thursday, August 31 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Thursday sessions are open to all attendees and will be held in the event hotel (Hyatt Regency Bellevue). Start times and room numbers will be made available as the event gets closer. All sessions end by 12:00 p.m.
Panel Discussion: Stormwater Infrastructure Policies—A Management Perspective and Closing Session Remarks
The topic will include interactive panel discussions focusing on a variety of topics related to stormwater and drainage infrastructure. Focus areas include national and regional perspectives on infrastructure conditions and needs, financial affordability/funding options, potential policy-shaping for the changing regulatory environment, and outreach/public relations strategies to address funding needs.
Panel participants: Jim Lenhart (Contech Chief Technology Officer–Stormwater), Chris French (Director-Stormwater Programs Water Environment Federation), Scott Taylor (Senior Vice President at Michael Baker International), Cory Rayburn (Watershed Manager for the City of Atlanta’s Environmental Management Division), Anna Lantin (Senior Vice President with Michael Baker International), Seth P. Brown, PE (Principal/Founder of Storm and Stream Solutions, LLC), and Gayle Killam (Science and Policy Program with River Network).
Rethinking Urban Water Management: Integrating Natural and Engineered
Systems Paradigm shift and new thinking will be essential to cope with the existing and emerging urban water problems. An integrated engineered and natural system approach aims to link urban water infrastructure and natural systems for sustainable urban water management. It envisions a holistic water and energy management system within built urban environments. This presentation will facilitate discussion and sharing of ideas and experiences that illustrate innovative solutions, particularly in the arena of low-impact stormwater management technologies and decentralized green infrastructure.
Speakers: Tamim Younos, Dr.Eng, and Alaina Armel, P.E., Green Water-Infrastructure Academy, Washington DC.
Tour attendees will board buses at the Hyatt Regency for a ride to Tacoma. The City of Tacoma and Port of Tacoma, located south of the Hyatt Regency, Bellevue, WA, believe sustainability and economic development go hand-in-hand, and continually strive to enhance and minimize impacts on the environment. Both the Port and the City have incorporated outside-the-box stormwater management solutions at several of their facilities that are unique in the industry, providing a model for others to follow. The bus tour will showcase how green stormwater infrastructure and concepts have advanced to the next level with very small footprints to treat runoff from large industrial port facilities and vast impacted areas of the City, significantly improving the water quality of stormwater discharge to the Commencement Bay’s prime salmon habitat. Sponsored by Kennedy/Jenks Consultants. Hosted by the Port of Tacoma & City of Tacoma, WA.
