Vegetated Stormwater Facilities Workshop


Clackamas Community College

This workshop will provide an overview of vegetated stormwater facilities (bioswales, raingardens, etc.): how they function, management considerations, and strategies for long-term viability. Participants will learn about regulatory requirements, such as record-keeping and inspections, and learn how to evaluate and properly maintain the plants and other system components. The field portion of class includes practice inspecting a facility, identifying problems, record-keeping and plant identification.
