Learn to leverage existing sources of information to help focus efforts. The presentation will give real-world examples of sources of such information and how to combine them with techlogy such as GIS to save time and effort and more effectively use other resources. Then it moves from the desktop to the field—going over best management field practices for detecting illicit discharges. The importance of comprehensive mapping and inventories is emphasized. Look for opportunities to overlap program elements: Impaired streams tasks TMDL monitoring CIP program development Targeted business education Public education (septic system maintenance) The proper tools to use in these efforts are covered, including asset management. Practices such as screening and sampling, infrastructure inventorying, discharge investigation, and source tracking are all covered. The use of drones, aerial photography, and thermal imagining, with real-life program examples, is covered. Enforcement is also presented. This is a comprehensive presentation on doing IDDE right.
At the conclusion of this session participants will be better able to:
• Establish goals for their IDDE program.
