Paul Iorio
Sr. Project Engineer at StormTree in Wilmington, NCMr. Iorio is an engineer with StormTree, a Rhode Island-based design and engineering firm specializing in integrating plant systems with stormwater management for commercial and residential applications throughout the Northeast. Over the past 25 years, he has designed and implemented soil and water pollutant removal systems that incorporate principles of bioretention and “natural enhancement,” including biological (bioremediation) and plant-based (phytoremediation) techniques, to achieve cleanup goals and support low-impact development solutions.
Prior to joining StormTree, Mr. Iorio worked as an independent landscape design consultant and contractor. He holds both undergraduate and graduate degrees in plant, soil, and water sciences, as well as environmental engineering.

Course Title: Stormwater BMP Design, Selection, and Implementation
Delivery Method: Live Online
Course Description: This two-hour course examines how to plan, select, design, and implement stormwater best management practices (BMPs) to improve water quality and manage runoff. The course explores pollutant sources, sizing criteria, and both nature-based and structural BMP solutions that support resilient site design and regulatory compliance.
Learning Objectives:
Learning Objective 1: Learners will be able to analyze stormwater pollutant sources and evaluate their impacts on site design, water quality, and environmental performance.
Learning Objective 2: Learners will be able to select appropriate stormwater BMPs based on site conditions, runoff characteristics, and pollutant removal objectives.
Learning Objective 3: Learners will be able to apply BMP sizing criteria and stormwater management planning principles to develop effective runoff control strategies.
Learning Objective 4: Learners will be able to implement green and gray infrastructure practices to support sustainable site development, such as rain gardens, vegetated swales, pervious pavement, and detention systems.
