Keynote Address
Tom Schueler, Director, Chesapeake Stormwater Network
Keynoter Tom Schueler founded the Center for Watershed Protection in 1992 with the mission to protect and restore our nation’s watersheds. He has a keen interest in the science and management of urban streams, and has worked for more than 20 years on practical techniques for protecting and restoring them. Schueler has authored several widely used references, including The Practice of Watershed Protection, Rapid Watershed Planning Handbook, Better Site Design, and Design of Stormwater Wetland Systems. He co-authored the Maryland Stormwater Design Manual and has developed new approaches to use impervious cover as an environmental indicator and management tool for watershed planning. From 1982 to 1992, Schueler worked at the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, where he led the Anacostia Watershed Restoration Team. Currently, he is the founder and director of the Chesapeake Stormwater Network.
Conference Program
Designed with engineers, consultants, regulatory groups, municipal employees, watershed/stormwater program managers, and contractors in mind, Urban Water Management 2008 features a comprehensive conference program covering many of the issues faced by today’s urban water professionals. Session topics include: BMPs, GIS/mapping, stormwater treatment and management, CSO control, low impact development, watershed management, monitoring, and hydraulic modeling.
In addition, an extended, panel-format ’megasession’ delves into the critical topic of stormwater program funding, a subject that can often be a source both confusion and frustration. Serving on the panel are: Tony Bagwell, Senior Economist and Vice President, HDR Engineering Inc.; Pete Yakimowich, Senior Consultant Water Resources, Arcadis; Steve Veal, Principal, Carter & Burgess; and Allen Mullins, Vice President, PROS Consulting LLC.
New! Two-Day Short Course
Stormwater for the Practicing Engineer (and Scientist)
Dr. Gary R. Minton, PhD, PE
Wednesday, April 2, 12:30 p.m.
Urban Water Management is pleased to announce that Dr. Gary Minton will offer his short course, Stormwater for the Practicing Engineer (and Scientist), beginning April 2 at 12:30 p.m. at the Marriott and ending at 5:00 p.m. on April 3. Dr. Minton has held his well-received course at many locations in the United States and Canada since 2002. It is the only short course to thoroughly cover how treatment systems work: the basic mechanisms of pollutant removal and their relationship to our design criteria. Also covered are treatment systems used in LID, such as bioretention and manufactured systems.
Please note: Registration for the short course is separate from conference registration. For course details, syllabus, and registration form, go to www.stormwaterbook.com. A significant discount on the short course will be offered to those who also attend the Urban Water Management 2008 conference.

Booth 200
BaySaver Technologies’ multilayered underground sand filtration system removes very fine sediment and nutrient pollutants from stormwater runoff at a flow rate of 30 GPM per cartridge. As stormwater makes its way through 43 square feet of surface area per cartridge, BayFilter removes more than 80% TSS (d50=23.2 microns) and greater than 50% of total phosphorous including dissolved phosphorus. It also boasts a 50% reduction of turbidity. The filter’s unique hydrodynamic backwash self-cleansing component dislodges pollutants and restores the porosity of the media after every storm, contributing to efficient operation, extended maintenance intervals, and a long product lifespan. BayFilter’s patented design has no moving parts and generates a true siphon effect. Each BayFilter® system is customized to assist specifying engineers, regulators, developers and contractors with regulatory compliance, limited space conditions, and installations in ecologically sensitive areas.
