Hosted by the International Erosion Control Association
Join the International Erosion Control Association (IECA) for Protecting Soil & Water Resources through Proactive Stormwater Compliance where we will focus on proactive communication and working together to achieve environmental compliance. This three-part series will look at fostering better communication, proactively developing budgets, planning and implementing a compliant stormwater program. We will conclude with a look at urban green infrastructure and the growing need for collaboration throughout the course of these programs to achieve the desired outcomes.
Learn from industry leaders as they tackle pollution, while working to avoid impacts to water, promote healthy soil, and care for the environment. Attendees can expect to learn:
- How to partner together to improve communication and achieve environmental compliance.
- How to proactively develop a budget, create a plan and implement a compliant stormwater program.
- How collaboration can bring a urban green infrastructure program to life

Cooperative Compliance through Communication
Contractor storm water compliance can be improved through communication and engagement with our regulatory partners. This presentation provides some practical insight on how construction sites are structured, who is in charge and how we can communicate to have the most effective inspections and compliance. In addition, we will discuss contractor tools for compliance through communication will be discussed.
Stormwater Compliance in Real-Time
Mary Larsen
Optimizing Stormwater Compliance in the field by integrating Digital Technology, from Phones to Drones. Embracing digital transformation to enable real-time communication and improve collaboration, efficiency and keep projects on track and on budget. Becoming a Stormwater Technology Partner with solutions that utilize automation and incorporate digital tools and solutions.
This is a whole new aspect of construction that we are exploring and living to some degree. Our construction industry has had a reputation for resisting technology adoption, but decision makers are quickly realizing that Digital Technology is inevitable. We are working to position ourselves as great Stormwater Technology Partners for our Teams and also in competing in the industry. While the world came to a screeching halt last spring, the construction industry pivoted in the midst of the pandemic to keep essential projects moving forward. Funny how when we are forced to change we rise to the occasion and usually make it better!
Urban Green Infrastructure: The Opportunities and Challenges in Design & Maintenance
Green infrastructure has become a buzz word in many cities large and small around the country - looking for opportunities to use rain gardens, bioretention and even permeable surfaces to collect and treat stormwater with the goal of protecting or improving water quality in downstream lakes/streams and waterbodies. While the science and performance of these types of practices are known – the subtleties and challenges in both design, installation and maintenance are evolving as cities take the leap to launch their own green infrastructure program – all coming to the table with different expectations, budgets, perspectives, and maintenance capabilities. This presentation will provide an overview of Ferguson’s experience playing a support role in large city green infrastructure programs such as Philadelphia, and New York and Pittsburgh and a summary of typical green practices and the growing need for collaboration throughout the course of these programs to achieve the desired outcomes.
