Stormwater
workshop
Krystin Fischer '05
On August 17, the Villanova University Urban Stormwater
Partnership and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection
South East Region hosted a Stormwater Update conference. Every other
October, VUSP holds a larger conference to discuss various topics related to
stormwater management and precaution but because the larger conference is
not scheduled for this October, VUSP decided to run a smaller workshop open
to professionals and students involved in managing stormwater. Engineers,
architects, and planners are all encouraged to attend. This workshop will
serve as a public service. A walking tour of stormwater wetlands, the
bio-infiltration traffic island, the porous concrete infiltration site, a
newly completed infiltration trench, and a seepage pit was included in the
agenda. Research results that have been conducted at Villanova were also
presented. Registration began at 8 a.m. followed by presentations by Dr.
Robert G. Traver and Stephen Burgo, PE project manager.
