 Hello-

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) will be hosting a live webinar on Tuesday, January 9, 1:30-3:30 (Central time).

 

Title: Maximizing stormwater BMPs for phosphorus removal

Abstract: Despite our best intentions, sometimes our stormwater Best Management Practices do not do what we want or expect of them. This is particularly true for stormwater management of phosphorus. We have invited three expert speakers to discuss three particularly important and perhaps not fully understood BMPs – wet ponds, bioretention, and street sweeping/litter management. The speakers will discuss why these BMPs have often not achieved water quality goals for phosphorus and present approaches to maximizing their pollutant removal effectiveness.

 

Speakers:

Joe Bischoff - Principal Aquatic Ecologist; Wenck Associates, Inc.

Andy Erickson - Research Associate; St. Anthony Falls Laboratory; University of Minnesota

Sarah Hobbie – Professor; Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior; University of Minnesota
