The Caltrans Landscape Architecture Program, in partnership with
CalRecycle, University of California Riverside, University of
Washington, Filtrexx Sustainable Technologies, Salix Applied
Earthcare, United States Composting Council, California Compost
Coalition, and R. Alexander Associates, Inc., is presenting two
half-day workshops that focus on the use of compost-based best
management practices (BMPs) to improve roadside revegetation,
control erosion, filter stormwater, reduce runoff, and improve
stormwater quality.
The half-day workshops will take place on August
26 and 27.
The workshops will provide practical tools and information on
improving roadside revegetation and stormwater quality with
compost based BMPs. In addition to rolling out innovative methods
of improving water quality, these workshops will provide
attendees with the opportunity to ask questions of a diverse team
of experts. The workshop team consists of University
professionals, researchers, soil scientists, California compost
industry professionals, Caltrans landscape architects, and other
subject matter experts. The workshop is for Caltrans district
designers, including landscape architects, biologists, and
stormwater quality coordinators; Caltrans contractors, and others
involved in improving stormwater quality. This workshop could
also be valuable to county public works directors interested in
either transportation or stormwater quality issues.
These workshops are only available by webinar and there are no
fees for participating. Register for
the webinars at 9AM both days.
