Check them out at DigitalStormwater.com because the best-known beats best every time. Key Points Discussed [00:00:00] - Introduction "Engineers do want to very efficiently get to a solution, which I totally understand and respect." - Tom Mortensen"I work as this liaison between the right brain, left brain, construct and design." - Tom Mortensen [00:01:00] - Digital Stormwater Overview Services offered: Social media management, Google, LinkedIn, and meta ads, SEO and content creation, website builds and updates, AI automations, consulting, and more. [00:02:00] - Guest Introduction "Tom Mortensen has over 35 years of experience in site design, landscape architecture, and related design and construction in the construction professions." - TyTom’s experience includes work with the U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, Boy Scouts of America, Native American Tribes, and the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. [00:03:00] - Rainfall Integration and Stormwater Management "Rainfall integration, which is also known as stormwater management." - Tom MortensenDiscussion on green infrastructure and its early challenges and developments. [00:04:00] - Nature and Design "Nature ignores design that ignores nature." - Tom MortensenImportance of taking cues from nature in design to create sustainable solutions. [00:10:00] - Collaboration in Design "So this thing called design, what happens is we all get together to do that design, and then you engineer that design, and then you landscape that design, and then you build that design." - Tom MortensenEmphasis on multidisciplinary approach and early collaboration to save time and create effective designs. [00:14:00] - Grant Funding for Green Infrastructure "There's grant funding available to implement GI, and so if you're going to add 5,000 square feet of impervious on a site, you have to implement some form of GI." - Tom MortensenExample of a successful project on a college campus receiving $1.3 million in funding. [00:20:00] - Project Examples Colectivo Coffee: "On one half of the roof that drains to the east, we took that roof water, that rainwater, and we put it through a series of troughs and created a big water feature." - Tom MortensenChallenges and successes in managing urban sites with creative stormwater solutions. [00:34:00] - Natural Design Principles "If you go back to that picture I just showed you, all the trees are on the side slopes, in the uplands. That's where the trees grow. They don't grow down in a low flow channel." - Tom MortensenImportance of mimicking natural landscapes in stormwater design. [00:39:00] - Relationship to Water and Future Outlook "The earth is not green, it's blue. And I think we need to start thinking differently about our relationship to water." - Tom MortensenDiscussion on the ongoing challenges and progress in water management and sustainability. In this episode of the Stormwater World Podcast, host Ty Garmon and Tom Mortensen, a senior project manager and landscape architect with over 35 years of experience, discuss the integration of nature into design, emphasizing the importance of green infrastructure and sustainable stormwater management. Tom shares insights on how to effectively balance creative and technical aspects in site planning, the benefits of multidisciplinary collaboration, and the necessity of understanding natural systems. He highlights successful projects and the role of grant funding in promoting green infrastructure, concluding with thoughts on the evolving relationship between humans and water management.

    Jun 20 2024
    Stormwater World Episode 026: Deep Infiltration Systems with Alex Bennett, Technical Marketing Engineer at Torrent Resources Did you know that this podcast is produced by Digital Stormwater? Digital Stormwater B2B Visibility & Digital Marketing, making a difference in stormwater 1 click at a time! They do all things digital. Check them out at DigitalStormwater.com because the best-known beats best every time. Key Points Discussed [00:00:00] Introduction Host Ty Garmon welcomes Alex Bennett from Torrent Resources.Overview of the topic: deep infiltration systems and dry wells. [00:01:00] About Alex Bennett Alex's background in stormwater compliance and water quality.Educational background: Master's degree in Environmental Science from UC Santa Barbara. [00:02:00] Basics of Deep Infiltration Alex explains deep infiltration and its benefits."A lot of folks, even in places where dry wells are used commonly, aren't familiar with them." [00:03:00] Infiltration Systems Overview Comparison between surface level and deep infiltration systems.Importance of treating stormwater to match pre-development drainage patterns. [00:04:00] Designing Dry Wells Alex describes the design and sizing of dry wells."We're basically taking the same zone of infiltration you would see with a surface level basin, and locating it vertically within the soil column." [00:06:00] Soil Considerations Role of geotechnical reports in designing dry wells."The geotech is your friend." [00:08:00] Infiltration Depth Factors influencing the depth of dry wells.Minimum and maximum depths based on soil and groundwater conditions. [00:12:00] Installation and Performance Typical dry well installation process and dimensions."We see really favorable infiltration rates due to the combination of hitting varying soil layers and having a significant column of water." [00:15:00] Site Constraints and Benefits Advantages of dry wells in constrained spaces."Dry wells can fit into a site and a stormwater treatment train really easily." [00:17:00] Maintenance Maintenance requirements for dry wells."Maintenance is just done via standard VAC truck... it's really easy." [00:22:00] Cost Effectiveness Cost comparison of dry wells versus other BMPs."If we have good infiltration rates, dry wells are more cost-effective." [00:25:00] Regulatory Considerations Regulatory challenges and successes in approving dry wells."The next step is statewide guidance on how to size these dry wells." [00:28:00] Combining BMPs Integration of dry wells with other BMPs."A very common layout is pretreatment BMP leading into a big detention tank, leading into one to three dry wells." [00:32:00] Design Tools Torrent Resources’ design tool for dry wells."We have a great online tool to get a quick unit count." [00:36:00] Final Thoughts Importance of working with geotechnical engineers."There's no one size fits all approach for infiltration or stormwater treatment." Quotes Ty Garmon: "It's interesting, you can go vertical instead of horizontal. That's really interesting." Alex Bennett: "Infiltration of stormwater, once you're getting it into the soil system, there is a significant amount of absorption, adsorption, natural treatment of the standard suite of stormwater pollutants." In this episode of the Stormwater World Podcast, host Ty Garmon discusses deep infiltration systems with Alex Bennett from Torrent Resources. They explore the design and benefits of dry wells, which are vertical stormwater infiltration systems that maximize space efficiency and improve stormwater management. Alex highlights the importance of soil conditions and geotechnical reports in designing effective systems, and explains how dry wells can be integrated with other Best Management Practices (BMPs). The conversation also covers maintenance requirements, cost considerations, and regulatory challenges, providing a comprehensive overview of deep infiltration as a stormwater solution.
