any other utility In this workshop the invitedspeakers Dr John Betz Mr Edward Martin andMr Anthony Russo will discuss the evolution ofGPS since the early days to its present configura-tion and future directionIn addition how and whenthe GPS concept wasconceived the challengesfaced by the programtechnical innovations andapplications will be cov-ered by the speakers Thecurrent status of GPS aswell as US policies re-garding the operation modernization and avail-ability of GPS will be described Finally the futureadvances planned for GPS will be presented andthe challenges faced by satellite-based naviga-tion will be discussed by the invited speakers

The Ohio Council has received a State PublicAffairs Grant from ASCE National to use incombination with Ohio Council funds inpublicizing the 2009 Ohio Infrastructure ReportCard to Ohiorsquos State Legislators and otherappropriate officials The effort includes mailingpostcards to each legislator developing awebsite window that is referenced in thepostcard and other related work The websitewindow will link to the existing Ohio Councilwebsite These postcards will be mailed in earlyMarch

Infrastructure problems need to be in front of thelegislature so they receive a reasonable share ofthe tight budget expected in the upcomingbiennium While this mailing effort is valuable interms of placing the information in front of

legislatorsand othersthe realchallenge isgetting themto look at itthink about itand actaccordinglyThe best way

to achieve those goals is for knowledgeable and

concerned constituents of each legislator tocontact him or her and emphasize how criticalthe problems defined in the Report Card areand press to maintain an appropriate level offunding for infrastructure in Ohio for the comingbiennium The people best suited to thispersonal contact are our ASCE membersthroughout the state The best place to do thisis at the Legislatorrsquos local office or at a public orpolitical event This is an important part of theeffort that started in 2009 with preparation of theReport Card ASCE members put a great dealof effort into the Report Card and Ohio Councilfunds are being used to publicize and distributeit using print and electronic media This is thebest way to get our moneyrsquos worth from all ofthis past expense and volunteer effort

The report card (1-page) and the backgroundreport (65 pages) are available on the OhioCouncil Website httpohioasceorgreportcard

The time is now to contact your legislators toremind them of the importance of infrastructurefunding To search for contact information foryour legislators click HERE

Over the last several years there has been a rapid movement to implement low impact development (LID) design concepts and green infrastructure LID designs strive to minimize land disturbance and impervious cover maintain predevelopment hydrology and manage stormwater using smaller scale decentralized best management practices Green infrastructure generally refers to a suite of stormwater management strategies such as green roofs rain gardens riparian buffers permeable pavements and rainwater harvesting that is intended to reduce the amount of runoff reaching our receiving waters While most projects can accommodate at least some of these green design concepts design challenges often arise in urban areas where itrsquos common to encounter existing utilities limited land availability and poor or contaminated soils In these instances it is often possible to achieve many of the fundamentals of LID design by incorporating rainwater harvesting andor underground stormwater management strategies into the site design This session will address completed and current watershed-based balanced growth plans with discussion of local balanced growth watershed projects lessons learned and incentives for local government to participate Information on a case study project to address barriers in implementation of Best Practices for Stormwater will be provided as well as resources available to local communities interested in implementing Best Practices in their planning and zoning We will discuss the recommendations of the statewide Best Local Land Use Practices program Information about development and conservation priority practices for local governments and assistance available for education and implementation will be addressed Plans for 2011 include progress on the watershed plans addressing the needs of urban and first suburb areas continued exploration of issues affecting site development water resources and economic development and development of networks of practitioners in eight regions of Ohio This presentation will also provide a regulatory overview of stormwater management and the trends that are driving the movement toward Green Infrastructure This will be followed with an overview of Low Impact Development and Green Infrastructure concepts We will also explore the basics of rainwater harvesting including example layouts and key components and highlight the various underground stormwater management strategies that can augment LID designs along with the latest research and performance expectations for these practices
