First Presentation: Development continues to pose environmental problems for receiving waters. However, Green Technology for storm water management has given rise to more efficient methods of pretreatment, storage and discharge of storm water runoff. LEED and LID (Low Impact Development) promote the use of innovative technologies to combat pollution from runoff by utilizing state of the art treatment methods to meet the strict discharge requirements set forth by the US EPA. Rainwater harvesting is at the for front of this BMP as it can combine primary storm water pre- treatment, storage capacity for channel/flood protection, tertiary filtration/disinfection and reuse for non-potable. This presentation outlines how the development of a decentralized water treatment system can aid in both the reduction of pollutants into our lakes, rivers and streams but also how harvested water can supplement our dwindling potable water supply.

Second Presentation: This presentation will cover the types of interceptors used in plumbing systems, where they are required and desired, and how to size them appropriately so they not only meet code but function correctly to protect the municipal systems.
