TNSA TALKS

​​​​​​​​​Building a Better Sediment Basin

June 18, 2026  2pm Eastern Time

Receive 1 PDH

Registration Required by noon Wednesday, June 17

This presentation will focus on current rules and regulations regarding sediment discharges from construction sites, best management practices to reduce sediment discharges and innovations in stormwater management.

Join us to learn more about:

• Construction General Permit (CGP) requirements under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and how they relate to sediment basins and skimmer surface outlets.

• University research on how to design basins to achieve greater than 95% reduction in sediment discharges compared to traditional basin designs.

• Research demonstrating that each skimmer design has its own flow rates which can only be determined through product-specific testing via the ASTM D8107 protocol.

• Performance specifications utilizing volume and number of days to drain.

• Design and specification resources including skimmer sizing calculators, detail drawings, installation guides, and more.

• Post-construction stormwater management innovations to reduce land use and control peak flows earlier and longer during rain events.

• Passive treatments for flocculating suspended solids
