==January 9, 2018 - Maximizing stormwater BMPs for phosphorus removal==
 +
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) hosted a live webinar on Tuesday, January 9, 1:30-3:30 (Central time).
 +
 
 +
Abstract: Despite our best intentions, sometimes our stormwater Best Management Practices do not do what we want or expect of them. This is particularly true for stormwater management of phosphorus. We have invited three expert speakers to discuss three particularly important and perhaps not fully understood BMPs – wet ponds, bioretention, and street sweeping/litter management. The speakers will discuss why these BMPs have often not achieved water quality goals for phosphorus and present approaches to maximizing their pollutant removal effectiveness.

Professional development hours

Attendance at a Stormwater Manual webinar, MIDS Calculator training, or Simple Estimator training qualifies for Professional Development Hours (PDH) for the Minnesota Board of AELSLAGID. Look for links to certificates with each qualifying webinar (above). The event may qualify for other professional development credit, but be aware that we have not verified that with other licensing organizations.

Note that it is your responsibility to attend the webinar and document your attendance, including downloading the certificate. The MPCA documents people who attended the webinar or training, including the times they were logged in to the event, and will provide this information to certifying boards if requested. We cannot document people who have viewed recorded webinars. We provide a form summarizing the justification for offering pdhs.
