Case Study: EPA Low Impact Development Course

Situation:

The Low Impact Development Center was contracted by the EPA to introduce federal, state, and local transportation departments to the LID concept. The Center asked GKY to help them develop a course of instruction that combines a general overview with examples and strategies the departments could apply to linear projects.

Solution:

Using PowerPoint™, GKY developed a course that provides a graphic-rich overview on LID basics that could also serve as a reference for future development. This course has been used nationwide to ground transportation personnel in LID principles.

Our services included:

  • » Research of EPA Low-Impact Development design strategies and hydrologic analysis
  •  
  • » Development of a PowerPoint™ presentation to convey the principles
  •  
  • » Inclusion of exemplary photographs illustrating effective measures
  •
