Stormwater Quality Improvement Device Evaluation Protocol (SQIDEP) – what’s in it, what’s not, and why not.

After five years of consultation, collaboration and negotiation, Stormwater Australia released the SQIDEP document in December 2018. The document provides a uniform set of criteria to which all stormwater treatment measures (green & grey) can be field-tested and reported. These criteria should guide and inform field monitoring programs that seek to demonstrate pollutant removals for treatment measures implemented to achieve planning water quality objectives.

This SQ event will be facilitated by Sally Boer, Director, E2Designlab, and include an expanded list of speakers.  Alan Hoban, Director, Bligh Tanner, will present on the consultation process and development of the SQIDEP and future.  This will be followed by a presentation from Darren Drapper, Principal, Drapper Environmental Consultants, on the SQIDEP technical content and practical implementation.  Following these two presentations a panel of speakers will each provide a short summary of their thoughts on the SQIDEP.  The panel will comprise:  Andy Hornbuckle, SPEL Environmental; Mike Wicks, Stormwater360; Charles Kelly, Humes; Stephen Baker, Rocla; and Andew Macklin, Urban Asset Solutions.  Following the panel discussion, you’ll have an opportunity to ask your questions about this important industry benchmark.

Don’t miss this chance to be at the leading edge of this significant step-change in our industry.  Following the workshop, there will be an opportunity for networking and further informal discussions over drinks and canapés with industry colleagues.
