StormCon 2012 Rapidly Approaching

July 6, 2012
Saving taxpayers billions, green infrastructure to be focus of national water quality conference

Green infrastructure, low-impact development and a healthy bottom line will be at the top of the list when leading experts on storm and surface water quality get together in Denver this August 19-23 to explore the newest water pollution prevention and mitigation technologies, share their recent experiences, and discuss which strategies are most effective in minimizing surface water pollution.

With National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) compliance in mind, StormCon 2012 brings together municipal and government officials, builders and contractors, site inspectors, civil engineers, designers, regulators, enforcement officials, planners, consultants, researchers, educators, EPA officials, property executives and other water quality professionals under one roof to focus on this critically important topic.

StormCon fills a vital need by bringing government officials responsible for public health and safety and protecting our water supplies together with private sector engineers, consultants, project developers and solution providers. With the increasingly urgent demand to protect our water supplies, the pollution prevention strategies and technologies being discussed and on display at StormCon should not be missed.

Participants will be key personnel from cities and counties throughout North America, and other participating organizations include EPA, AMEC, CH2M HILL, National Park Service, Home Depot, CDOT, URS, University of California, University of Delaware and many others.

The multi-track course curriculum features more than 125 educational sessions presented by the nation's leading storm water experts and covers a range of material focusing on green infrastructure, urban retrofit, BMP case studies, storm water program management, NPDES, water-quality monitoring, industrial storm water management, erosion & sediment control, and advanced research topics. Nearly 200 vendors and service providers will exhibit storm water-related products and equipment, the world's largest tradeshow of its kind.
