SUMMARY:(Webinar) Fair Housing: Serious Responsibility\, Serious Liability
DESCRIPTION:Register\nThis session will review significant changes in Federal Fair Housing requirements that occurred in 2015. Topics include the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the Federal Fair Housing Act\, HUD’s new rule on Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing\, and the implementation of the rule through the Assessment of Fair Housing template. The session will help HUD entitlement communities plan for the new fair housing requirements and better understand what these developments mean for their programs\, policies and land use regulations.

SUMMARY:Fixing Flooding: One Community at a Time
DESCRIPTION:CONFERENCE BACKGROUND:  Flooding\, even from small storm events\, has been affecting the quality of life of New Jersey’s residents.  Based upon a preliminary land cover analysis of New Jersey\, the state has covered 12.1% of the land with impervious surfaces\, which is 1\,055 square miles of impervious cover or 675\,200 acres of impervious cover.  During a one-inch rainfall event\, 18.3 billion gallons of stormwater runs off these surfaces.  Many of these impervious surfaces are directly connected to our local waterways\, meaning that every drop of rain that lands on these surfaces drains directly to a stream\, river\, lake or bay without any treatment or having the opportunity to infiltrate into the soil.  Pollutants accumulate on these impervious surfaces and are washed into New Jersey’s waterways during storm events.  Additionally\, these impervious surfaces prevent rainfall from infiltrating into the ground to replenish the state’s aquifers.  Limited infiltration of rainwater results in reduced base flow to the local streams that rely on groundwater during the dry summer months.  \nGreen infrastructure can be used to reduce the impacts from these impervious surfaces.  Green infrastructure practices such as porous asphalt\, bioretention systems\, and rain gardens can be very effective at capturing\, treating\, and infiltrating stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces.  Green infrastructure practices also can provide an opportunity to collect and use rainwater for non-potable uses.  Many green infrastructure practices provide ancillary benefits such as providing pollinator habitat\, sequestering carbon\, reducing the heat island effect\, and improving air quality. \nOver the last several years\, green infrastructure practices have been implemented across New Jersey.  These projects have clearly demonstrated the effectiveness and resiliency of green infrastructure technologies.  Water resources planning over the last 12 years has resulted in the creation of regional stormwater management plans\, watershed restoration and protection plans\, green infrastructure feasibility studies\, and impervious cover reduction action plans.  All of these plans are good tools to identify opportunities for retrofitting existing development with green infrastructure practices.  Green infrastructure technology has proven to be a cost effective means to reduce the impacts of impervious surfaces.  The final step is to further empower local communities to advocate for green infrastructure and to implement practices. \nPURPOSE:  The purpose of the conference is to educate stakeholders and engage them in addressing the impacts of stormwater runoff from impervious cover.  The workshop will acknowledge on-going efforts by the Sustainable Raritan River Collaborative and showcase their work.  It will also provide attendees an opportunity to network and develop new partnerships so they can better achieve the goal of a sustainable Raritan River Basin. \nREGISTRATION:  To register for this conference\, please click here.   \nRegistration will close at 11pm on Friday\, February 19th!

SUMMARY:(Webinar) Award-Winning Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nWinning isn’t everything\, but we can often learn a lot from plans\, programs\, and projects that have been deemed worthy of an award. In this session\, speakers representing four winners of SCD’s 2015 Awards for Excellence in Sustainability will demonstrate how communities can function more sustainably. Our speakers will showcase four very different projects. Neil Angus will discuss the Devens Sustainable Housing Pilot Project\, a completed project that won the Sustainable Development Project Award. Ronda Fast will discuss the Crystal Springs Creek Habitat Restoration Projects\, which won the Sustainable Parks\, Recreation and Open Space Project award. Justin Golbabai will give an overview of the City of Austin Neighborhood Partnering Program\, the Leadership in Sustainability winner. John Zeanah will discuss the Mid-South Regional Greenprint and Sustainability Plan\, the winner of the Sustainable Law\, Policy or Plan award. From completed projects to examples of community partnerships and plans\, these case studies will give you some ideas of innovative thinking about sustainability at all scales and in very different locations.
