Pond Design, Management and MaintenanceApril 12, 2013

Course Code: EW0315CA13$295 before 3/29/13; $325 after; $275 multiple

This one-day class is meant for pond owners, pond managers, landscape architects, engineers and anyone involved with the design, management or maintenance of ponds. This course is structured to help you make the proper decisions regarding the appearance, function or up-keep of your pond. Starting with design, learn how to build a pond, including the construction of embankments and dams and the selection and installation of liners. Learn also how to create and maintain a stable shoreline, create and aquascape littoral benches, and optimize habitat for fi sh and aquatic wildlife.

In terms of the long-term maintenance of ponds – whether constructed for stormwater, irrigation, fi shing or aesthetic purposes – this course provides the answers.

LEARN HOW TO:

• Properly select, use and apply aquatic pesticides to control invasive aquatic weeds and algae;

• Make use of non-pesticide, environmentally friendly techniques to control invasive aquatic weeds and algae;

• Design and implement a dredging project, including the proper navigation of the environmental rules and regulations; and,

• Correctly select, size, and install various types of pond aeration systems.

ADDITIONAL FEATURED TOPICS INCLUDE:

• Establishment and enhancement of fi sh habitat;

• Stabilization of undercut and failing pond embankments;

• Creation of buff ers for nutrient and pollutant removal; and,

• Implementation of vegetative strategies to control Canada geese.

Learn the basics regarding various regulations governing pesticide, including NPDES permit requirements! Additional focus will be placed on the management of stormwater basins with respect to MS4 compliance requirements. This will cover inspections, maintenance, repair/enhancement and reporting/record keeping.

INSTRUCTORSDr. Stephen Souza, President of Princeton Hydro, LLC., has over 20 years experience managing and restoring lakes, including extensive work with lake associations.

Mark Gallagher, Vice President of Princeton Hydro, LLC brings over 20 years experience in the design and implementation of lake and pond aquascaping planting plans. He is also exceptionally experienced in State and Federal permit requirements for these types of projects.

Geoffrey Goll, P.E., is a licensed professional engineer in a number of states in the northeast. He has over 15 years of experience in the restoration of lakes, including numerous large-scale dredging and dam restoration projects.

ADDITIONAL WETLAND TRAININGThe Wetland Delineation Certifi cate is awarded to participants

who attend and successfully complete assignments for Vegetation Identifi cation and Methodology for Delineating Wetlands courses.

Vegetation Identifi cation for Wetland DelineationPlants are the most obvious clues to wetland boundaries. You cannot delineate a wetland without experience identifying wetland plants!

PLANNING YOUR PROJECT: In the process of developing a wetland construction plan, you must understand the purpose of the wetland, the ultimate goals of the project, and what fundamental wetland functions your project will be expected to perform. Your overall wetland plan must account for location, size, physiognomy, basic hydrologic regime, and current/future land use.

SELECTING YOUR CONSTRUCTION MODEL: You must select appropriate models for construction. The suite of models presented in this class will address specifi c hydrogeomorphic landscape positions and sources of water. The models introduce the concepts of depth, duration, and timing as critical factors in how wetlands present in the landscape and what functions they are capable of performing.

PREPARING YOUR WATER BUDGET & HYDROGRAPH: You must quantify water inputs and outputs to assess the project water budget and then prepare a model Hydrograph that mirrors those of other wetlands in the region. Meaningful hydrograph preparation is reliant upon conscientious data collection and careful interpretation. Creating a “hydrogeomorphic hybrid” wetland system is an all too common pitfall that can be avoided with a proper hydrologic analysis.

Planning and Functional DesignSeptember 16 & 17, 2013Course Code: EH0603CA14

$695 before 9/2/2013; $725 afterONLY $575 with Principles and Techniques!

Calculation of the amount, depth, duration, and timing of water anticipated in a constructed wetland is an essential element for preparing functional wetland designs. Build upon your wetland construction knowledge with this course, as it provides you with specifi c directions for preparing and comparing hydrographs for wetland construction projects. The single biggest mistake in botched wetland construction projects is failure to understand the amount and seasonal distribution of water over time. Learn about depth, duration and timing of water, and how to calculate and anticipate hydrologic patterns before your wetland is constructed! You will learn about:

HYDROGEOMORPHOLOGY: a wetland construction planning tool

WATER BUDGET CALCULATION: inputs/outputs and TR-55 runoff curves

THORNTHWAITE METHOD: used for predicting evapotranspiration

ESTIMATING STREAM FLOW & PRODUCING BASIC HYDROGRAPHS

With over thirty-fi ve years of experience in wetland construction and restoration, your instructor and his colleagues have organized the process of developing a successful wetland construction plan into fi ve basic steps. Soil scientist and wetland construction expert, Mallory Gilbert, describes and explains critical components of this incremental approach through lecture, case studies, and site visits during these two courses.

WETLAND CONSTRUCTION Series Wetland Construction: Principles and Techniques (continued)

DETERMINING PROPER VEGETATION: Vegetation adaptation, selection, and planting are keys to any successful wetland construction plan. You must verify adaptive modes of the plants you plan to introduce, as well as probable “volunteer” species, to ensure that they will be suitable for your planned wetland hydrologic regimes.

MANIPULATING SOIL: Sub-grade soil permeability must be suitable for the hydrogeomorphic model you plan to develop. In addition, the “living” substrate soils of your wetland must also be suitable in texture, structure, and nutrient composition to support your selected vegetation.

Wetland Construction: Planning and Functional Design (continued)

A digital handout includes critical published hydrology references and an excel spreadsheet fi le for preparing hydrographs.

A return visit to a constructed wetland complex in central New Jersey will highlight the “real world” application of functional wetland design. Please dress for fi eldwork.

Mal Gilbert, PWS, CPSS, CPSSC has been a private consultant since 1986 and has more than thirty-fi ve years of professional experience in plant sciences, natural resources management, and wetland and soil sciences. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Forestry and Forestry Facilities Design (1972) and a Master of Science degree in Agronomy/Soil Physics (1975), both from the University of Connecticut. He co-developed “Freshwater Wetlands Construction” along with Dr. Gary Pierce in 1990, and has been a principal instructor since its inception.

Newly designed for 2013, Rutgers’ Wetlands Construction series will continue to emphasize use of local wetland reference sites; soils investigations; assessment of weather data; hydrology studies of the depth, duration, and timing of water as predictors of wetland morphology and function; and preparation/use of model hydrographs to plan and construct successful wetland projects.
