The presentation topics include:
Infiltration on contaminated sites: Forrest Kelley and Eric Lund Infiltration when faced with compacted soils: Todd Shoemaker Measuring infiltration and assessing the rate and effectiveness of infiltration: Dr. John Gulliver Infiltration impacts to shallow groundwater: Dr. John Nieber Infiltration with amended soils: Noah Czech Resources for practitioners and professionals including where infiltration resources are in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual: Dr. Michael Trojan
