The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is hosting a live webinar on pretreatment, Wednesday January 19, 1:00-2:30 PM CST. 1.5 professional development hours (pdh) are available for attending this webinar.
This webinar will provide information on the importance and value of pretreatment, examples of how pretreatment is being implemented, and common concerns with pretreatment. The tentative agenda is as follows.
While the benefits of pretreatment are well understood, we continue to see ineffective pretreatment as a result of poor design or construction, inadequate maintenance, incorrect choice of practice, inadequate sizing, and so forth. The objectives for this webinar are to reiterate the role and importance of pretreatment, provide examples of good and recommended practices, and discuss some common concerns with pretreatment implementation.
Sediment, trash, debris, and organic materials found in stormwater runoff can clog and significantly affect the functionality of structural stormwater best management practices (BMPs). Reducing these burdens prior to entering structural stormwater BMP(s) will preserve their long-term functionality, particularly for filtration and infiltration BMPs. Pretreatment reduces maintenance and prolongs the lifespan of structural stormwater BMPs by removing trash, debris, organic materials, coarse sediments, and associated pollutants prior to entering structural stormwater BMPs. Implementing pretreatment devices also improves aesthetics by capturing debris in focused or hidden areas.
