NACD May 2020 U&C Webinar – Stormwater Management
05/21/2020 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
The next NACD Urban and Community Conservation webinar, scheduled for 12:00noon-1:00pm Eastern time on May 21, 2020, will feature stormwater management.
Lake Tahoe is known for its exceptional clear blue waters. In 1968 one could see to a depth of 102 feet. It was designated an “Outstanding National Resource Water” under the Clean Water Act of 1972, a designation that prohibits any degradation. However, with increased urbanization over the last 50 years, clarity has decreased to an average of 65 feet. The Tahoe RCD will share how they and local government agencies around the lake have committed to returning clarity to 100 feet by 2076 through a variety of effective stormwater treatment and management strategies.
Three years ago, the Snohomish Conservation District in the State of Washington entered a partnership with Veterans Affairs to create an implementation crew composed entirely of military veterans. The crew, known as the Veterans Conservation Corps, constructs rain gardens, rainwater harvesting and depave projects all over Puget Sound. This presentation will cover the type of work they are doing, and the keys to success of the partnership with Veterans Affairs.
These popular webinars, held on the third Thursday of each month, are sponsored by The Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation in partnership with the NACD Urban and Community Resource Policy Group. There is no cost to participate, but space is limited. Registration will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
