Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is planning to hold a VUSP Open House (With Temple of the TVSSI as a special guest!) on August 11th at Villanova University.  We are planning to present research presentations that were given in 2010 at EWRI (ASCE) and the LID Conference in San Francisco. The Charge for attendance is a whole whopping $20 to pay for handouts and juice and cookies.  (Vusp Members are free).  We just ask that you sign up on the web through the VUSP Webpage, and Bring $20 in cash or by check with you (NO CREDIT CARDS).  Note the schedule is still in draft form, but you can go ahead and sign up.   We will also conduct a walking tour so you can see some of our NEW Bmps to include bioretention and rain barrels etc.

Other notes.... WEF and ASCE have FINALLY restarted the final review of a new Stormwater BMP Manual of Practice.  IF you are interested in reviewing a chapter before the end of august, let me know.
