2016 MA and 2017 NH MS4 Permit Overview for 
Nutrient Control and BMP Optimization Stormwater
 Next Generation Innovative Stormwater Management

   What is low impact development and green infrastructure
   Space efficient subsurface storage
   Mechanical treatment and screening
   Vegetated/biological treatment systems
   Runoff reduction techniques

Infiltration and Filtration BMPs for Nutrient Reduction 

   BMP examples
   Pollutant load reduction analyses examples

Nutrient Control Planning and Pollutant Source Identification Reporting 

   Calculation of total MS4 area draining to impaired waters, 
      Impervious area and DCIA for the target catchment 
   Identification and prioritization of areas high N loading 
   BMP retrofit and development opportunities

BMP Optimization and Prioritization for the New MS4

   Optimization for retrofitting and redevelopment 
   BMP sizing to achieve the greatest performance for least cost
      by type and size while factoring in multiple land uses, soils, performance, 
      cost, and constraints 
   Optimization at multiple scales: sizing an individual system, optimization
      by land use and watershed-scale

Collaboration in Green Infrastructure/LID/MS4 Projects 
from Design to Post-Construction

   Lessons from the field 
   Municipal partnerships for success

The Importance of Pretreatment for Low Maintenance BMPs

   Most pretreatment approaches are hugely inadequate 
   Goal is to use existing staff and equipment 
   Appropriate selection for land-use trash and debris load 
   Separate maintenance for aesthetics and functionality 
   Cost to maintain versus cost of pretreatment

The Cost of LID/Green Infrastructure –
Capital Cost and Long Term Cost of Ownership

   What are the typical metrics 
   Green vs conventional 
   What is included in upfront capital costs 
   What are the long-term costs

Speakers

Scott Gorneau, P.E.

Vice President, Convergent Water Technologies

As vice president of Convergent Water Technologies, Mr. Gorneau is responsible for offering innovative green infrastructure/low impact stormwater solutions that enable new applications and raise the bar on performance, cost effectiveness, and verification. He previously served as national manager of ACF Environmental/Ferguson Waterworks and as regional vice president for FABCO Industries where he was responsible for engineering design, specification, and installation of manufactured stormwater management systems. Mr. Gorneau earned a B.S. degree in Biological Systems Engineering and an MS degree in Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln which provided the necessary knowledge for him to launch his career into the technical sales and specified engineered products industry. He spent the subsequent time since graduation gaining experience and expanding his knowledge of the industry on a wide variety of civil and environmental engineering design projects for private and public sector clients. Mr. Gorneau is a registered professional engineer in Maine and New Hampshire, and he is a Maine certified stormwater inspector. He has been a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), serving as section president in 2014.

Dr. Robert M. Roseen, P.E.

Principal and Owner, Waterstone Engineering, PLLC

Dr. Roseen is a recognized industry leader in green infrastructure and urban watershed renewal, and he is the recipient of an Environmental Merit Award by the US Environmental Protection Agency Region 1. He consults nationally and locally on stormwater management and planning and currently leads one of the first-in-the-nation integrated planning efforts in coastal New Hampshire. He directed the University of New Hampshire Stormwater Center for 10 years and is well versed in the practice, policy and planning of stormwater management. Dr. Roseen has 20 years of experience in the investigation, design, testing and implementation of innovative approaches to stormwater management. His broad area of expertise includes water resources engineering, stormwater management, low-impact development (LID) design, porous pavements, nutrient and TMDL studies, stream restoration and erosion and sediment control. Dr. Roseen has led the technical analysis of numerous studies examining land use and climate change impacts on municipal flooding. He has participated in many significant and award winning green infrastructure projects.

Newton Tedder

EPA Region 1

Environmental Scientist at EPA Region 1
Mr. Tedder holds a masters degree in Geology from Boston College, specializing in surface water and groundwater contamination due to road salt application. He has more than 12 years of experience in hydrology and hydrogeology in the public and private sectors where he has worked developing public water supplies, tracking surface water pollution and, most recently, regulating surface water contamination due to stormwater. Mr. Tedder has been at EPA Region 1 for seven years and currently serves as the lead permit writer for the Massachusetts Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation Separate Storm Sewer System (TS4) permit.
