Data-Driven, Unbiased Metrics to Evaluate BMP Water Quality and Hydrologic Mitigation Performance
Applying the BMP Performance Index to field monitoring data from the Southern California Stormwater Monitoring Coalition’s Regional BMP Monitoring Network, this seminar will show how the Performance Index is informing regional management decisions in relation to TMDL compliance.
SepticSmart Week 2026

A Broader Look at Low Impact Development
Low Impact Development (LID) is a way of mimicking natural hydrologic processes when developing or modifying the land. This presentation will give an overview of some of the concepts of LID and briefly list some traditional urban practices. Then it will bring a deeper dive into actual pervious concrete pavement system applications from several different locations in the USA. However, LID can be applied in many other settings than urban. Concepts for applying LID to linear projects and some unique rural applications focusing on recent flooding in the Hill Country of Texas will be explored.
