Jim Dumont has been providing training seminars for APEGBC since 2006.

Urban stormwater management and the associated processes have been linked to adverse impacts on aquatic environments. Regulatory agencies are actively pursuing the implementation of impact neutral infrastructure projects and urban development. This seminar will provide an introduction into analytical techniques and methodologies that can be used to quantify impacts and impact reduction methodologies. Engineers working in urban infrastructure planning and design and the land development industry will find this seminar of particular value.

The topics to be covered include:

• Why is this topic important?
• Overview of regulatory setting in British Columbia
• Simulation models and their limitations
• Model calibration and verification process
• Stream flow duration estimation
• Potential stream erosion estimation
• Water quality modelling and its limitations
• LID Strategies and BMP’s
• Introduction to the Water Balance Model
