9:00 to 11:30 am

South Shore Natural Science Center in Norwell



Better management of stormwater helps protect the quality and integrity of a
community's beaches, shellfish habitat, drinking water, and other water
resources.  At the site level, better stormwater management can also mean
improved aesthetics and lower development costs.  Three South Shore
communities -- Plymouth, Duxbury, and Marshfield -- have drafted a model
stormwater management bylaw, which may be soon adopted by these towns and is
intended to serve as a model for the state.  In this workshop, project
partners will introduce the criteria, procedures, and detailed components of
the model bylaw, so the development community will be prepared for potential
changes to local regulations.
