| Jeremiah D. Jackson, Ph.D., P.E.,
Mr. Jackson is the Executive Vice President of Project Resources Inc., and serves as a unit manager and principal engineer. In these capacities, Dr. Jackson directs and assists staff in performing environmental assessments, water and wastewater treatment design and build projects, and in conducting resource impact assessments and sustainable designs. He also assists the firm’s executive management in the strategic development of the company, and in the identification and development of emerging markets and technologies. During his career, Dr. Jackson has overseen hundreds of environmental projects, including the largest Phase I ever conducted in Arizona (30,000 acres), the first use of in-situ bioremediation and human risk assessment in Mexico, and an “outstanding project” recognized by the California Geotechnical Engineers Association for developing innovative remediation technologies. He has also designed engineered wetlands for treating of contaminated waters in four countries and the US. Dr. Jackson has been an expert witness for 14 site environmentally- related cases, has testified before the US Congress on Superfund Reauthorization and the use of ASTM standards. He lectures on stormwater treatment systems at the University of California, and has published widely in the field of artificial wetlands treatment systems. | Back to Top | | | | | The Clean Water Act requires that non-point source pollution be reduced and regulated. Recently, stormwater has been targeted as a non-point source of surface and groundwater pollution. As a consequence, developers and city governments are being required to reduce pollutant loads of stormwater. This course is designed to address the broad topic of stormwater management in the urban environment including its treatment and reuse. Attendees will learn real-world examples and techniques for urban watershed management. The course covers flood hazard mitigation solutions, design and use of wetlands, techniques and experience of groundwater recharge, applicable water laws, water quality issues and assessment, and incorporation of sustainable design concepts into overall approach. These topics are illustrated using case studies. | Back to Top | | | | | - Learn about relevant legislation, updates, amendments, and status
- Review various multi-use and non-structural engineering solutions
- Receive an overview of engineered wetlands design and learn about case studies
- Become more familiar with groundwater recharge concepts
- Review water quality assessment techniques
- Learn about sustainable development approaches for urban watershed projects
| Back to Top | | | | | | Engineers and scientists in the urban watershed and stormwater fields, city government technical staff, local government regulators, urban watershed and stormwater lawyers, surface and groundwater hydrologists, and city planners will benefit from this course. This course is designed to appeal to a broad range of attendees. | Back to Top | | | |
