2016 Watershed and Stormwater Conference | 3
Welcome to the Center for Watershed Protection’s
2016 National Watershed & Stormwater Webcast
Conference!
This unique format allows us to connect a much broader audience and give attendees a chance to network with each
other and with a variety of professionals around the country.
As the issue of water continues to grow in prominence, this event is designed to communicate the state-of-the
art tools and practices in use around the country and begin dialogue about regional differences in application.
The conference aims to encourage a more rapid pace of implementation of the best practices in watershed and
stormwater management.
The major conference themes include areas where municipalities are often faced with regulatory challenges and
questions. Sessions include pollution prevention, post-construction stormwater management, illicit discharge
detection and elimination, and special MS4s.
Registrants can choose the on-line format or the special hub locations that include Baltimore/ Washington; Omaha,
Nebraska; Connecticut; Atlanta, Georgia; Sacramento, California; and Coeur D’Alene, Idaho. Every participant will
hear the nationally broadcasted information while registrants of the local hub locations with will hear about special
regional topics and network with attendees of the respective locations.
Please take advantage of the opportunities offered by the conference and enjoy the hand-picked presentations that
distinguish the Center’s conferences from others, engage in facilitated interactive sessions, and don’t forget to have
fun!
As always, your feedback and comments are welcome to help us improve our future events. We look forward to
engaging with you throughout the event.

About The Center
The Center for Watershed Protection works to protect, restore, and enhance our streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands,
and bays. We create viable solutions and partnerships for responsible land and water management so that every
community has clean water and healthy natural resources to sustain diverse life.
Vision
The Center for Watershed Protection’s vision is a nation that has signicantly improved the ecological and
hydrologic condition of its degraded water bodies and has stemmed further degradation of clean water and healthy
watersheds. We believe clean water and healthy natural resources are essential to life on earth.
• A network of watershed practitioners building a national movement towards a watershed approach
• Communities investing in infrastructure changes that are reective of the environmental, economic, and social
benets of watershed protection, restoration, and enhancement
• Land development occurring with minimal impacts to water resources
• Individuals taking tangible steps to improve their local watersheds
So that every community has clean drinking water, and shable, swimmable waters that support diverse life.
Our vision is built upon our unique ability to advance, synthesize and widely disseminate watershed science by
translating this knowledge into practical tools and techniques. Through our collaborative spirit and ability to
integrate multiple disciplines, jurisdictions, and issues into a comprehensive watershed approach we endeavor
to lead the nation in the development and implementation of the most effective stormwater and watershed
management practices.
The Center for Watershed Protection Association (CWPA) is a national network of professionals dedicated to
advancing the state-of-the-art in watershed and stormwater management. CWPA is a forum for sharing ideas,
resources, expertise, and information pertinent to watershed and stormwater professionals. CWPA provides
training, education and professional development and fosters collaboration among its members.
When you need targeted, easy to understand resources and access to other professionals experienced in this area,
the CWPA should be your rst choice.

Professional Development Hours/CEUs
The Center for Watershed Protection will offer .8 continuing education units (CEUs) for this conference if attending at
a hub location (8 contact hours, each earning 0.10 of a CEU). Attendance at all conference technical sessions is required
to obtain the CEUs. A sign in/sign out sheet will be provided at each hub location to track attendance. The Center will
provide a certicate to any attendee that requests one detailing the number of Professional Development Hours (PDHs)
earned at the conference.
For those attending online, the software can only track the actual person who signs on, so a sign in/sign out sheet will be
required if more than one person is attending to get a certicate. That sign in/sign out sheet will need to be provided to
the Center at webcast@cwp.org in order to meet document retention policies. The Center will provide a certicate to any
attendee that requests one detailing the number of Professional Development Hours (PDHs) earned at the conference.
While our training programs are developed with the International Association for Continuing Education and Training
criteria in mind, the varying nature of certication requirements for each state means that we cannot guarantee that
CEUs will be awarded. Upon request, the Center can provide some documentation to help participants obtain credit for
attending the conference, but participants are responsible for determining whether CEUs will be awarded based on the
policies of their local certifying boards. Information on obtaining a CEU certicate for this conference will be provided on
the rst day of the conference at registration.
How the Conferenc works
As an on-line registrant, you will be able to:
• Watch the nationally broadcast portions of the website from your computer
• Ask questions online through a chat
Please go to the Online Conference Information on page 7 and nd your appropriate time zone agenda.
The webcast will be broadcast via Adobe Connect. You will receive login information to the conference one week before
the conference. The email will come from cps@cwp.org with the subject line “2016 Center for Watershed Protection
Online Conference Link “- so keep an eye out for it!
If you register at one of the six hub locations, you will be able to:
• Watch the nationally broadcast portions of the website with your peers and other registrants
• Be part of local discussions or presentations of how these issues relate locally or regionally
• Network live with local speakers and peers and sponsors
• Ask questions live
• Receive complimentary lunch (the most important part of the day).
Please go to the In Person Conference Information on page 14 and nd the agenda for your preferred hub location.
More than 500 registrants are expected to “attend” the conference either in person or on-line. All registrants will listen
to the nationally broadcast portions of the webcast. In-person registrants will have the opportunity to listen to local
presentations and participate in discussions about how the topics affect their community, locality, and/ or region.

The major sponsor for the Center for Watershed
Protection’s 2016 National Watershed/ Stormwater
Conference in Connecticut is the NEMO program
at the University of Connecticut’s Center for Land
Use Education and Research (CLEAR). Because the
Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental
Protection (DEEP) issued a new MS4 General Permit
in January 2016, attendees should expect special
sessions focused on the new requirements of that
permit and resources to help them meet those
requirements. However, there will also be some
discussion of what nearby states are doing to address
stormwater issues.
