About the workshop:

Stormwater wetlands are credited by the State of North Carolina with the highest removal efficiencies for Nitrogen of BMPs treating stormwater, making them a priority BMP in the Neuse, Tar-Pamlico, and Upper Cape Fear watersheds. As stormwater wetlands continue to be installed, their design, construction, and maintenance continues to evolve. This workshop is designed for those who are either considering or are actively designing or reviewing the designs of stormwater wetlands in North Carolina. The latest research findings are incorporated into design, construction and maintenance recommendations for stormwater wetlands. A field tour is included as part of the workshop to visit a recently constructed stormwater wetland incorporating many of the newest design features.
