The Perfect Storm
The convergence of three projects to build a healthy watershed and community with green infrastructure

In April 2008, local, state and federal stakeholders collaborated on a series of green infrastructure Best Management Practices to address several water quality problems related to stormwater runoff at the Bristol Town Beach and Sports Complex in Bristol, Rhode Island.  This webinar will focus on how they made it happen through partnering with a number of agencies and non-profit groups, leveraging resources and funding (including Federal Clean Water Act Section 319 grant funds) while taking advantage of timely opportunities and related green infrastructure initiatives.

Presenters:        
Walter V. Burke, Director, Bristol Parks and Recreation, Bristol, Rhode Island
Betsy Dake, Section 319 Grant Program Manager, Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management  
Diane M. Williamson, Director, Office of Community Development, Town of Bristol, Rhode Island
