Presented by: Juliana Barrett and Chet Arnold; UConn CLEAR Emeritus
In this presentation by Juliana Barrett and Chet Arnold we will explore what riparian buffers are and why they are a critical component of both our coastal and inland communities. Riparian buffers play a critical role in water quality and watershed protection, provide wildlife habitat, and assist with climate resilience. Because of the transitional nature of riparian buffers (wet to dry), these areas allow for a variety of non-traditional landscaping choices and designs that still allow for water access and water viewsheds.

This webinar is the final one of our CT Stormwater Quality Manual: An Update on Stormwater Management in CT. Stormwater management and its impact on our water bodies and communities have received a lot of attention and support in recent years. With a revised MS4 permit in 2017, revised construction, commercial, and industrial stormwater permits, and a new Stormwater Quality Manual going into effect in March, there has been a move to use lower impact approaches to stormwater management. This webinar will cover takeaways, challenges, and opportunities from this approach. What is working, what is a work in progress, and what is coming? Presented as a collaboration between CT DEEP and UConn CLEAR and featuring Victor Benni of the North Branford Public Works Department.

This is the second webinar of the Stormwater Quality Manual Webinar Series on the newly released Connecticut Manual. CT NEMO has teamed up with CT DEEP to help provide more information and insight into the revised Manual and what it means for you. This webinar, The Low Impact Development Process, highlights how the Manual offers a pathway to stormwater management design from non-structural to structural practices.
