Session planned to explain tighter water runoff plans

Did you know that state officials are requiring developers, contractors and property owners doing extensive remodels to have someone qualified on site during rain storms to monitor runoff?

That is just one of the new regulations that the state Water Resources Control Board is putting into place this year (effective July 1) and next as they tighten storm water pollution prevention plans, said Bruce Poulsen of Darden Architects.

Contractors and others can learn more about the new legislation at a workshop scheduled from 2-4 p.m July 15 in Visalia. Cost: $100 for USGBC CC members and $125 for non-members. Space is limited, so sign up at info@usgbccc.org.

Location information and registration details will follow shortly. This is one workshop you won't want to miss, so put it on your planners now.
