The New York State Stormwater Regional Training Centers 

featuring John Dunkle PE, CPESC, CMS4

Lead Instructor and Curriculum Coordinator

 

~Northeastern New York~

The New York Stormwater Regional Training Centers (SW RTC) are a Statewide Partnership between Saratoga and Orange County Cornell Cooperative Extensions, the Central New York Regional Planning & Development Board, and the Stormwater Coalition of Monroe County & Monroe County SWCD. Our goal is to provide the best technical training to all stormwater professionals working in New York State.

The Regional Training Centers are dedicated to providing stormwater professionals with the best possible Information, Education, and Training to help better manage stormwater runoff and keep all of our waters clean.

Course Descriptions

1. Hydrology; 02-01-2023 ~ 4.0 PDH available for this course.

Predicting the volume and rate of runoff from rain events is an essential skill for stormwater engineers.  This class will examine in detail all of the factors that influence runoff: precipitation, soils, ground cover, drainage area and time of concentration. Using TR-55 technology, and the latest soil and precipitation data, participants will compute runoff for various pre- and post-development conditions by hand, and then by using a computer model.  Determining detention storage volumes and modeling of reservoirs and outlet structures will also be addressed.

 

2. SMPs; 02-22-2023 ~ 4.0 PDH available for this course.

From dry detention to tree plantings, the NYS Stormwater Design Manual outlines the numerous possibilities for selecting practices to meet the permit requirements for peak flow mitigation, water quality treatment and runoff reduction. This class will review the characteristics and performance of each of these practices, and will provide an overview of the many considerations that must be made to choose the most appropriate ones for site specific needs. Practice sizing, construction and maintenance of each practice will also be covered.  

 

3. SWPPP Preparation and Review; 03-15-2023 ~ 4.0 PDH available for this course. 

Preparing, reviewing and implementing a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is essential to stormwater management for both the public and private sectors. The SWPPP is a key component of the Construction General Permit, the Multi Sector General Permit  and of Minimum Control Measures 4, 5, and 6 of the MS4 General Permit. This class will review all of the required elements of partial and full SWPPP’s, including site planning, E & S, hydrology, good housekeeping, post construction management and maintenance. Preparation of Municipal Facility SWPPP’s, a new requirement of MM 6 of the MS4 permit, will also be covered.

 

4. The Stormwater Construction Permit; 11-08-2023 ~ 4.0 PDH available for this course. 

The Stormwater Construction permit is the template for designing Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) for development projects. This comprehensive class will guide participants through the many permit conditions and requirements pertaining to various development scenarios, as well as the steps of site planning, design, evaluation and reporting necessary for obtaining NYSDEC stormwater permit coverage in New York State. The class will begin with a thorough review of the latest version of the permit (2020). Then, beginning with the evaluation of pre-developed conditions and project objectives, the sequential process of site planning, stormwater practice selection Erosion & Sediment Control design and SMP design will be reviewed. Hydrology computations for WQv, CPv,  OBv,  ExSv, and RRv will then be covered. The class will conclude with a review of the SWPPP outline, the Notice Of Intent (NOI), and the establishment of maintenance programs.

 

5. The New Design Manual; 11-29-2023 ~ 4.0 PDH available for this course. 

This class will review the 2022 draft DEC Stormwater Design Manual, which includes new stormwater management practices (SMPs), clarifies calculations for designing SMPs, provides enhanced guidance for implementing several SMPs, updates precipitation data criteria, improves document organization, provides enhanced guidance for addressing pollutants of concern, adds green infrastructure SMPs for poor site conditions, and provides guidance on addressing climate change. DEC personnel will participate in this class and will be available for questions.

 

All courses are held via Zoom webinar and are scheduled from 8:30AM to 1PM.

 

PLEASE NOTE that it is the policy of the Northeastern NY SW RTC not to refund “no show” registrants.  Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours prior to the course date and will be charged a $25 fee.  Substitutions and transfers are acceptable up to the day of any course.
