As these plans are developed and projects are identified municipalities and their consultants should take a hard look at the types of projects used to address decades of impacts. \n  \n  \n The go to techniques of porous pavement and bioretention, while important, may not been the most effective and least costly methods. Techniques that seek to restore and enhance our degraded wetlands, restore stream banks and floodplains, and restore and enhance riparian zones, may offer significant benefits at a lower cost. \n  \n  \n Practitioners from RES will talk about their experiences in wetlands restoration and creation for the Pennsylvania DOT to meet its stormwater requirements among other projects. PennDot saved $40 million dollars over the traditional BMPs strategies usually used. \n  \n  \n Can NJ learn from this experience? Can restoration and enhancement save NJ municipalities money and improve the environment? Join us on May 8th to learn more. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n This event will be 100% virtual. Recordings will be shared with attendees after the event. If you have any questions about the event, please feel free to contact Pri Oliveira at poliveira@thewatershed.org.  \n
