Continuing Education Site Plans that Presented by Donald W. Lake, Jr., P.E. (approved for Landscape Architects) Urban sprawl has led to the accelerated degradation of our natural resources. Increased impervious areas, such as roads, parking lots and rooftops have dramatically increased the amount and rate of runoff from storm events. Add to these factors the realized changes in climatic condition, and we will face ever increasing challenges to balance economic development with resource protection. Much of this has occurred while many inner-city areas have been abandoned. This course will address processes and procedures that landscape architects and planners can take to avoid, manage, and mitigate these impacts. Design options and details for both new construction as well as redevelopment on previously abandoned urban sites will be presented. Participants will use these concepts by applying site assessment processes, required design criteria, and conservation design techniques to actual site examples. Attendees will learn how to select appropriate “Green Infrastructure” practices for a site based on the evaluation of the site’s soils, vegetation, and topography. Such practices include preservation of buffers and natural areas, minimizing of clearing and grading, clustering, and impervious area reduction methods. Attendees will also learn to evaluate runoff reduction by utilizing area and volume reduction practices such as vegetated swales, rain gardens, green roofs, and stormwater planters. Sizing calculations will be performed.
Donald W. Lake, Jr., P.E. graduated from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1970 with a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering. He is a licensed professional engineer in New York, a Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC), and a Certified Professional in Stormwater Quality (CPSWQ). Mr. Lake “retired” from the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in 1995 after 27 years of service. He served as Engineering Specialist to the NYS Soil & Water Committee from 1996 to 2006 assisting NYS-DEC with the implementation of their stormwater program. During his tenure with the NRCS, Mr. Lake served as a design engineer and as a field Project Engineer in charge of construction of floodwater retarding dams. He has also served as the State Design Engineer overseeing the agency design section, and as the State Conservation Engineer in charge of all engineering operations for NRCS in the state. Mr. Lake has developed and conducted numerous technical workshops across New York State and is an Adjunct Professor at Syracuse University and at The State University of New York.
