Wetlands Committee
Wetlands Educational Seminar & Field Trip
The Illinois Association for Floodplain and Stormwater Management (IAFSM) are pleased to present a day-long Wetlands Educational Seminar and Field Trip focused on the general topic of “Wetlands of Northeastern Illinois.” This is an introductory “Wetlands for Dummies” educational experience that will include a morning seminar with various speakers from the environmental industry followed by an outing to a local forest preserve to view regionally-significant wetlands, including an ongoing wetland mitigation project. The basics of wetlands and wetland science will be discussed and viewed in action.
The morning seminar portion of the day (approximately 2 hours) will consist of approximately 15-20 minute presentations on selected wetland topics, with question and answer opportunities following each speaker. Planned seminar topics include:
- “Wetlands 101 – Introduction to Wetlands” – what’s a wetland, why are they protected?
- Wetlands Regulation – general overview of federal, state and municipal wetland regulations
- Mitigation – how we create wetlands to replace those impacted
- Maintenance and Monitoring – why is management of natural areas important
The field trip, immediately following the seminar, will consist of a bus trip departing from the parking lot of CBBEL’s offices in Rosemont, traveling to Deer Grove East Forest Preserve in Palatine, Illinois. Deer Grove East, a holding of the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, is one of the mitigation sites for the O'Hare Modernization Program. The mitigation project area, about 180 acres in size, includes woodland and prairie habitats and wetland habitat types from wet prairie to deeper open water. Most of the wetlands are easily accessible via an existing public trail system…..wear comfortable shoes. We are scheduled to return to CBBEL’s office at approximately 5:00 pm.
Registration deadline is October 5, 2012. Registration will be limited to the first 25 individuals. No refunds will be given after the registration deadline unless the workshop is cancelled, in which case the registration fee will be refunded in full. IAFSM reserves the right to cancel the seminar.

Costs of Green and Gray Stormwater Infrastructure
When: Tuesday, October 25, 2011, 8:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.
(Registration and Continental Breakfast at 8 a.m.)
Location: NIU Outreach Center, 1120 East Diehl Road, Naperville, IL 60563
Registration fee: Morning & Afternoon Session, including Box Lunch $ 40
Certification Credits: 4 PDH / 3 CEC
There is much information available on green stormwater infrastructure, including design considerations
and methods for modeling its effectiveness. Use of low impact development and BMPs aimed at treating
and/or keeping runoff onsite is increasingly practiced in Illinois and nationally. There is still much debate
and discussion regarding when these methods are cost-effective as compared to more traditional ‘gray’
infrastructure. This workshop will compare costs of green and gray infrastructure and provide considerations
of the elements that influence the selection of one or the other.
This seminar is intended for stormwater engineers, permitting agencies, contractors and developers. The
event will begin with an EPA update on the NPDES Rules Making status and then proceed with providing
a framework of factors that influence the evaluation of cost. Subsequent presentations will then focus on
real-life case studies, presented by both private and public sector subject matter experts. .
Event Highlights:
- Overview of NPDES rules making update
- Public sector experiences in addressing green/gray stormwater cost implications
- Real-life cost case studies from the Mid-west
