2006 UDFCD’s Annual Seminar
Recent Developments in Urban Stormwater and Floodplain Management
This one-day seminar will focus on the recent developments in urban stormwater and floodplain management technologies and design considerations. Topics presented will include a brief report on the state of the District; design, community and regulatory issues surrounding restorative maintenance; discussion on how to integrating BMPs into the urban landscape, especially in ultra urban settings; what local governments and consultants need to know about DIFRMs, their preparation, amendments, and use; public safety issues that every engineer and government official need to consider when designing detention facilities and culverts; description of the 2005-06 updates to Volume 3 of the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual; use of the latest features in the District's "Detention," "Street Drainage & Inlets," "Open Channel" design and analysis spreadsheets; update of the maintenance eligibility program and examples of successful applications of this program; and a chance to openly discuss any issues in the field that may be on your mind.

Engineering Foundation Conference held in Snowmass, Colorado, August 19-24, 2001
| Linking Stormwater BMP Designs and
Performance to Receiving Water Impact Mitigation Ben R. Urbonas, Editor |
These proceedings contain 49 technical papers by leading experts in the field discussing the state-of-the-art and the state-of-practice in urban stormwater management technology. The multi-disciplinary group of authors includes scientists, researchers, practicing engineers, and administrators address what we know today about the linkages between various BMP designs, their performance and their ability to mitigate the impact of urbanization on receiving waters.
