Adapting the LID Guidance Template for Your Jurisdiction

A workshop on adapting and adopting the LID Guidance Manual for Western Oregon will be held March 1st. The LID Guidance Template was developed for anyone interested or engaged in implementing sustainable stormwater practices- in other words, YOU! The template will become part of the Rogue Valley Stormwater Design Manual, so it is very important that we all understand how to adapt and adopt it. Please ensure that someone from your jurisdiction will be attending this class being held specifically for Rogue Valley municipalities.
