This webinar will introduce the High Definition Stream Survey (HDSS) as a practical watershed scale tool for erosion control, restoration planning, and post storm assessment. Using the recent 160 mile survey of the New River following Hurricane Helene as the primary example, the session will show how continuous, meter resolution data provides a clear picture of debris fields, infrastructure impacts, floodplain connectivity, and geomorphic conditions. Participants will learn how HDSS consolidates what would typically require multiple studies into a single coordinated survey. The presentation will also highlight lessons from more than 2,000 miles of HDSS work across the United States and how these methods support defensible, cost effective decision making. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of how HDSS can improve watershed planning, reduce redundant field efforts, and guide restoration investments that deliver long lasting results.

Currently, LID/GSI are built on dedicated acreages of utility-scale solar farms, which does reduce the producing acreages. A novel approach is to make the “distributed” LID/GSI systems more distributed from the solar-farm scale down to the panel scale making use of the vast permeable surfaces around solar panels. By catching stormwater runoff at the dripline of each panel, stormwater can be retained, detained and infiltrated right at the panel scale. This approach improves vegetation establishment, biodiversity and soil microbiome while reducing runoff and erosion. For dual-use projects like agrivoltaics, this new approach increases crop production and reduces or eliminates the need of irrigation system. Even in semi-arid and arid areas where rainfall is not sufficient to support agricultural activities and an irrigation system is still required, this novel approach can significantly reduce the water usage. Retaining stormwater on the site can potentially reduce the size of LID/GSI and increase the usable land for energy production. In addition to the increased energy output, reduced stormwater runoff leads to lower operational costs and less regulatory fines.

Data center growth is accelerating across the country and prompting agencies to reexamine how stormwater, water use and construction activities are regulated. As expectations evolve, construction teams are seeing new requirements for SWPPP planning, BMP selection, inspections, and documentation. This webinar provides a practical overview of the regulatory themes shaping these changes and what they mean for everyday erosion and sediment control work. Attendees will learn how to anticipate shifting compliance expectations and strengthen coordination with owners, regulators and MS4s. The session emphasizes proactive planning and field-ready strategies that help teams adapt confidently in a changing regulatory landscape.

From nurdles and swarf to security tags, plastic strapping, and faded hi-vis scraps—everyday materials are quietly escaping our worksites, supply chains, and stormwater systems. Once they leave our hands, they don’t just vanish—they travel. They move through gutters, drains, and rivers, and eventually join a much bigger story of ocean pollution. In this keynote, Heidi Tait—CEO and founder of the Tangaroa Blue Foundation and driving force behind the Australian Marine Debris Initiative (AMDI)—reveals what two decades of national data tell us about where pollution really begins, and how smart design, site practices, and stewardship can stop it before it starts. From turning recovered fishing line into new sunglasses to partnering with councils on stormwater trap programs, Heidi shares surprising case studies that connect land-based decisions to ocean outcomes. You’ll see how construction sites, councils, and industries are leading change by rethinking waste, closing the loop, and collaborating across boundaries. This session will challenge you to look beyond the clean-up and ask: What’s leaking from my site, my system, or my sector—and how can we design it out for good?
