Objectives:

Local governments that apply alternative planning, design and engineering techniques on karst and other sensitive lands can achieve watershed-friendly, economically sustainable growth. This workshop focuses on progressive strategies for site evaluation, wastewater and storm water management, water supply protection, and construction.

Demonstrations of geotechnical equipment, case histories of local efforts to control development on karst lands, and panel discussions of successful public policies will provide participants with vital tools for balancing development pressure with natural resource protection. Register today for this cost-effective workshop tailored to the needs of West Virginia's growing communities.
