SUNY-ESF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM 2008-2009
COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
HYDRAULICS/SOILS-405
Knowledge of soils and hydraulics is an important component of the design and construction of
stormwater management facilities. The first part of this course will review the methods for computing
flows through pipes, channels, orifices and weirs.
STORMWATER PONDS-413
Wet ponds have become the most widely used and accepted stormwater management practice and are
used to remove pollutants from stormwater runoff, mitigate peak flow rates, while creating an
aesthetically attractive site feature.
Secondly, the classification of soils and their engineering characteristics will be examined (plasticity,
sieve analysis, angle of repose, permeability coefficient, bearing capacity, optimum moisture content,
etc.)
This course will cover the attributes of various pond designs, and review pond hydrology and hydraulics.
Specific design examples will be utilized.
Finally, these principles and characteristics will be applied to practical design examples of stormwater
facilities during the class exercise.
STORMWATER PRACTICES FOR RE-DEVELOPMENT AND RETROFITTING-403
As vacant land becomes more scarce, many new building projects are utilizing sites that have been
previously developed. There are unique challenges and opportunities to designing stormwater
management practices for re-development. Retrofitting existing drainage facilities to provide higher
levels of treatment is necessary in many situations. This class will review the NYS Stormwater Redevelopment Standards and Practices, and teach participants how to apply the concepts to actual
design and field examples. We will also examine ways to retrofit existing sites to reduce stormwater
runoff and pollutant discharges.
STORMWATER AND THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS/SEQR-409
From vision to certificate-of-occupancy, developing property is a complicated enterprise, with stormwater
management playing an ever increasing role. This class will take a close look at the issues that
influence private sector development, including natural, economic, political, sociological, regulatory,
philosophical and even psychological factors. Stormwater management practices for a project must
consider all of these while being practical, durable and sustainable. We will identify the steps, the issues,
and the players involved in typical development projects, and learn how to successfully integrate
stormwater management in the process.
An overview of the State Environmental Quality Review Act will also be provided.
NATURAL AND CREATED WETLANDS-401
Wetlands are an important natural resource, and an effective stormwater management practice.
Participants will learn the characteristics and types of natural wetlands, state and national regulations,
and receive hands-on field experience in delineating wetland boundaries. In addition we will examine
essential design construction elements for creating and maintaining ecologically viable stormwater
wetlands.
SITE PLANNING FOR LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT-408
The most effective way to reduce stormwater development impacts is during the planning process where
measures can be incorporated into the overall site design. In this workshop participants will review the
Better Site Design principles and the NYS-DEC Stormwater Credits, (which emphasize the three tenets
of “green” planning: preservation, minimization and management.)
The class will participate in the design of actual development projects, where these planning principles
are applied.
STORMWATER FILTERS & INFILTRATION PRACTICES-410
In this workshop you will learn how to: select the appropriate practice for the site; specify design
procedures for infiltration trenches, bioretention, sand filters, dry and wet swales, etc.; use flow splitting
to control practice performance and review latest market products.
FUNDAMENTALS OF EROSION & SEDIMENT CONTROL-402
One of the critical components of stormwater management on construction sites is a properly prepared
erosion and sediment control plan. This course will cover: evaluating a site for water quality risk;
identifying resources and plan components; computing soil loss and hydrologic impacts; selection and
design of appropriate practices for site control and preparation of O&M plans.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR HEIGHTENED CRITERIA AREAS-411
According to the newly adopted Stormwater General Permits, any new development in impaired
watersheds must provide higher levels of pollutant removals. Municipalities may also be called upon to
retrofit existing development in impaired watersheds.
This class will review the heightened criteria design standards and permit coverage requirements for
private developers and involved municipalities. We will also assess the current status of research and
field results regarding sources of priority pollutants and their treatment methods. Specific design
examples for new development and site retrofits will be given as well as an overview of available
watershed pollutant assessment models.
SWPPP REVIEW FOR MS4s-412A
Many local municipalities in New York are now required to review and certify SWPPPs as part of the
NYS GP-08-02 permit coverage. The class will cover the essential elements of a SWPPP, and examine
the various stormwater management practices and design standards and their derivatives. The
objective of this class is to provide those officials and consultants charged with this responsibility
sufficient tools and knowledge to comfortably and consistently perform SWPPP reviews.
We will also provide guidelines for evaluating proposed design alternatives that deviate from the
standards. The importance of maintaining opportunities for applicants to develop creative solutions to
stormwater management while protecting the reviewing municipality’s liability will be emphasized.
FUNDAMENTALS OF WATERSHED HYDROLOGY I-404A
Understanding the hydrology of stormwater is essential for anyone that in involved designing, reviewing,
constructing or regulating drainage. This course will cover the three (3) basic influences of climate,
topography and land cover and review the standard methods and models (Rational, TR-55 and
Hydrocad) for computing runoff rates and volumes. Actual design examples of stormwater conveyance
facilities will be used.
-1-
FUNDAMENTALS OF WATERSHED HYDROLOGY II-404B
This course will build on the skills learned in Hydrology I to examine the methods of modeling and
designing stormwater detention facilities in complex watersheds using the WIN TR-20 and Hydrocad
computer models. Specific site examples will be used for in-class, hands-on design problems.
WATER COURSE HYDROLOGY AND HYDRAULICS I-406A
The HEC-RAS computer program is a powerful tool developed by the USACE to model river hydraulics
and hydrology. Participants will be introduced to the fundamental components and organization of the
program. An understanding of basic hydraulics and watershed hydrology is necessary. Attendees will
learn how to generate hydraulic profiles for simple water courses using actual design examples.
WATERCOURSWE HYDROLOGY AND HYDRAULICS II-406B
This workshop will build on the skills covered in Water Course Hydrology and Hydraulics I using the
HEC-RAS computer program to model more complex water courses with multiple branches, culverts and
bridges. Numerous design examples of actual site conditions will be used.
ADVANCED WATER COURSE HYDROLOGY AND HYDRAULICS I-407A
The new NYS-DEC dam safety regulation requires that an emergency action plan be developed for any
significant impoundment structure in a water course. The plan must include an assessment of
downstream impacts resulting from its failure. Participants will learn how the HEC-RAS program is used
to model dam breaches and establish downstream inundation plans using actual condition examples.
ADVANCED WATER COURSE HYDROLOGY AND HYDRAULICS II-407B
Many developments impact or are impacted by 100-year flood plains that are established and regulated
by FEMA. The foundation for establishing flood plain boundaries and elevations is the HEC-RAS (or its
predesessor HEC-2) computer model. Attendees will be familiarized with the procedures for computing
and modifying regulated flood plains and flood ways using HEC-RAS in accordance with FEMA
requirements. Actual real-life examples will be used as class problems.
THE PREPARATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SWPPPs-412B

Stormwater Practices for Redevelopment and Retrofitting
As vacant land becomes more scarce, many new building projects are utilizing sites that have been previously
developed. There are unique challenges and opportunities to designing stormwater management practices for redevelopment. Retrofitting existing drainage facilities to provide higher levels of treatment is necessary in many
situations. This class will review the NYS Stormwater Re-development Standards and Practices, and teach
participants how to apply the concepts to actual design and field examples. We will also examine ways to retrofit
existing sites to reduce stormwater runoff and pollutant discharges.
Fundamentals of Erosion and Sediment Control
One of the critical components of stormwater management on construction sites is a properly prepared erosion and
sediment control plan. This course will cover: evaluating a site for water quality risk; identifying resources and plan
components; computing soil loss and hydrologic impacts; selection and design of appropriate practices for site
control and preparation of O&M plans.
Natural and Created Wetlands
Wetlands are an important natural resource, and an effective stormwater management practice. Participants will
learn the characteristics and types of natural wetlands, state and national regulations, and receive hands-on field
experience in delineating wetland boundaries. In addition we will examine essential design construction elements for
creating and maintaining ecologically viable stormwater wetlands.
Fundamentals of Watershed Hydrology I
Understanding the hydrology of stormwater is essential for anyone that in involved designing, reviewing, constructing
or regulating drainage. This course will cover the three (3) basic influences of climate, topography and land cover
and review the standard methods and models (Rational, TR-55 and Hydrocad) for computing runoff rates and
volumes. Actual design examples of stormwater conveyance facilities will be used.
Fundamentals of Watershed Hydrology II
This course will build on the skills learned in Hydrology I to examine the methods of modeling and designing
stormwater detention facilities in complex watersheds using the WIN TR-20 and Hydrocad computer models.
Specific site examples will be used for in-class, hands-on design problems.

Finally, these principles and characteristics will be applied to practical design examples of stormwater facilities during
the class exercise.
FSH-406A
2/18/2009
Watercourse Hydrology and Hydraulics I
The HEC-RAS computer program is a powerful tool developed by the USACE to model river hydraulics and
hydrology. Participants will be introduced to the fundamental components and organization of the program. An
understanding of basic hydraulics and watershed hydrology is necessary. Attendees will learn how to generate
hydraulic profiles for simple water courses using actual design examples.
FSH-406B
2/19/2009
Watercourse Hydrology and Hydraulics II
This workshop will build on the skills covered in Water Course Hydrology and Hydraulics I using the HEC-RAS
computer program to model more complex water courses with multiple branches, culverts and bridges. Numerous
design examples of actual site conditions will be used.
Advanced Watercourse Hydrology and Hydraulics I
The new NYS-DEC dam safety regulation requires that an emergency action plan be developed for any significant
impoundment structure in a water course. The plan must include an assessment of downstream impacts resulting
from its failure. Participants will learn how the HEC-RAS program is used to model dam breaches and establish
downstream inundation plans using actual condition examples.
Advanced Watercourse Hydrology and Hydraulics II
Many developments impact or are impacted by 100-year flood plains that are established and regulated by FEMA.
The foundation for establishing flood plain boundaries and elevations is the HEC-RAS (or its predesessor HEC-2)
computer model. Attendees will be familiarized with the procedures for computing and modifying regulated flood
plains and flood ways using HEC-RAS in accordance with FEMA requirements. Actual real-life examples will be
used as class problems.
Stormwater and the Development Process/SEQR
From vision to certificate-of-occupancy, developing property is a complicated enterprise, with stormwater
management playing an ever increasing role. This class will take a close look at the issues that influence private
sector development, including natural, economic, political, sociological, regulatory, philosophical and even
psychological factors. Stormwater management practices for a project must consider all of these while being
practical, durable and sustainable. We will identify the steps, the issues, and the players involved in typical
development projects, and learn how to successfully integrate stormwater management in the process.
An overview of the State Environmental Quality Review Act will also be provided.

Stormwater Filters and Infiltration Practices
In this workshop you will learn how to: select the appropriate practice for the site; specify design procedures for
infiltration trenches, bioretention, sand filters, dry and wet swales, etc.; use flow splitting to control practice
performance and review latest market products.
Stormwater Management Practices For Heightened Criteria Areas
According to the newly adopted Stormwater General Permits, any new development in impaired watersheds must
provide higher levels of pollutant removals. Municipalities may also be called upon to retrofit existing development in
impaired watersheds.
This class will review the heightened criteria design standards and permit coverage requirements for private
developers and involved municipalities. We will also assess the current status of research and field results regarding
sources of priority pollutants and their treatment methods. Specific design examples for new development and site
retrofits will be given as well as an overview of available watershed pollutant assessment models.
SWPPP Review for MS4s
Many local municipalities in New York are now required to review and certify SWPPPs as part of the NYS GP-08-02
permit coverage. The class will cover the essential elements of a SWPPP, and examine the various stormwater
management practices and design standards and their derivatives. The objective of this class is to provide those
officials and consultants charged with this responsibility sufficient tools and knowledge to comfortably and
consistently perform SWPPP reviews.
BUF-412A
