A stormwater technical workshop to define LID planning, design & engineering criteria and techniques

These workshops were presented on September 27, 2005 in Westford, MA and on October 4, 2005 in Taunton, MA. Developed for municipal officials, developers, engineers, architects and contractors, this workshop put solid engineering parameters on LID for northern climates; help Phase II communities use LID for better compliance, and gave solid implementation tools to achieve better, cost-effective development results (whether you call it LID or not).
