Course Title: Sustaining Lake Champlain: A Vision for 2050

Delivery Method: Live Online

Course Description: This six-hour course focuses on the sustainable systems, practices and techniques that design professionals can use to protect our natural environment, specifically lakes and water resources, from the damages and pollution that our built environment and continued development can inflict (runoff, erosion, sediment transport, etc.). Specifically, this course uses Lake Champlain in Vermont as an overarching case study. According to the Lake Champlain Basin Program, “Lake Champlain is among the 25% of lakes in the United States that are impaired by excess nutrients, and among the 40% of lakes with health advisories for fish consumption due to elevated mercury concentrations.” The course will also discuss actions taken at the public, municipal and state levels.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to identify the actions homeowners, business owners, and other individuals can take to preserve water quality of nearby lakes and streams, including residential rain gardens and porous pavement installations.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to utilize “A 2050 Stormwater Management Toolbox,” a collection of sustainable stormwater management systems and techniques, including retention technology, stormwater separation, filtration, drainage innovations, treatment and more.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to discuss sustainable and long-term shoreline protection techniques, including traditional treatment options, designing with nature, low impact development, bioengingeering and best management practices.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to adopt sediment control practices on active job sites and utilize erosion control measures, ground stabilization techniques and porous pavement.

LUs: 6.0                                                                                              LU Type: LU|HSWs.
