Speakers
Steven Trinkaus, PE
Principal at Trinkaus Engineering, LLC, in Southbury, CTMr. Trinkaus is an internationally-recognized expert in the field of low impact development (LID), having presented at many American Society of Civil Engineers/Environmental & Water Resource Institute (ASCE/EWRI) international conferences and many other regional conferences and workshops on LID and water quality issues. He was invited by the Water Resources Agency in Taichung, Taiwan, to present a 12-hour workshop on LID in December of 2011. Mr. Trinkaus has been an invited presenter and consultant multiple times on stormwater and LID in China and South Korea since 2013. He has designed LID retrofits in Zhenjiang, China. Mr. Trinkaus has reviewed and edited LID reports by Pusan National University and Land & Housing Institute in South Korea. Mr. Trinkaus has written LID design manuals for the towns of Tolland, Plainville, Harwinton, Morris, and East Granby, Connecticut. He has designed many types of LID treatment systems for a variety of residential and commercial applications. Mr. Trinkaus is primary author of the EWRI Filter Strip/Bioswales Task Committee. Mr. Trinkaus is a licensed professional engineer in Connecticut and Maryland. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Forest Management in 1980 from the University of New Hampshire.

Course Title: Low Impact Development
Delivery Method: Live
Course Description: This 6.5 hour live lecture presentation examines the principles of stormwater low impact development, hydrology considerations for low-impact development, site planning, structural best management plans, low impact development economics, construction and maintenance.
Learning Objectives:
Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to discuss environmental and water quality threats in urban areas, identify the drawbacks of conventional approaches to address stormwater, and explain the principles and benefits of low impact development (LID) strategies.
Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to explain the science of the water cycle and site hydrology, as a foundation to understanding and implementing the objectives of low impact development and treating stormwater runoff as intended by nature.
Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to identify and explain the objectives and applications of structural best management practices, including bioretention systems, dry swales, permeable pavement, infiltration basins, rain barrels, and green roofs.
Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to describe the process of low impact development site planning and discuss the economics, construction and maintenance considerations of low impact development projects.
