Environmental Entrepreneurship Lab presents Storm Water Management Workshop, Sept. 23, 2008
Workshop will provide collaborative opportunities for detection and treatment of pollutants in surface water
HOBOKEN, N.J. ― Stevens Institute of Technology’s first Stormwater Management Workshop, sponsored by Stevens’ Environmental Entrepreneurship (E 2) Lab, will be held on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Lawrence T. Babbio, Jr. Center. The workshop’s objectives are to identify and develop collaborative opportunities for practical research, investment, and technology deployment in detection and treatment of pollutants in surface water to improve stormwater management.
The workshop will address regulations, remediation, detention and removal technologies for metals, nutrients, bacteria, pH changes, and organic and phosphorous compounds in stormwater management. Regulators will discuss new pollutants and nutrients that will soon be regulated, university researchers will share new technologies addressing different problems in stormwater management and industry participants will present market opportunities they see in the near future for stormwater management.
Professors or Ph.D. students interested in speaking on specific issues on stormwater management at the workshop can submit an abstract by September 1, 2008 to sfurnbac@stevens.edu. To reserve a seat, send an e-mail to sfurnbac@stevens.edu by September 12, 2008.
The E 2 Lab is an initiative funded by the Partnerships for Innovation Program from the National Science Foundation and is a collaborative effort with Stevens, Industry Partners, and Polytechnic Institute of New York University.
