We will have numerous speakers from local agencies covering a variety of topics, and you will hear in-person presentations about the following:

  • What’s new with the impervious cover model
  • The status of the WIP’3 in Maryland
  • Lessons learned from MS4 TMDL implementation plans and next steps
  • The new Chesapeake Bay watershed model, WIP 3’s and the mid-point assessment
  • Current restoration research funded by the Chesapeake Bay Trust
  • New BMP tools and research (SW outfall protection, Inlet cleaning, roadside ditches)
  • The new Stream Restoration FAQ document
  • Expert Panel discussion on future of stream restoration in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed

There will also be live webcasts that will be broadcast nationally covering the following topics.

  • Incentivizing Watershed Programs

As we have in the past there will be plenty of time and food for networking and a Happy Hour afterwards. Hope you can make it.
