RIWIS: A continued demonstration of RIWIS capabilities with other TR-55 For Plan Reviewers This workshop will cover the fundamental uses and limitations of TR-55, including submittal requirements for development applications, appropriate inputs and assumptions, and use of results in tormwater management plans. This will provide training on basic hydrologic analysis to support local use of proposed DEM stormwater design standards that emphasize control of stormwater volume. It will offer a foundation for future workshops on the application of TR-55 for low impact development (LID) techniques. Municipalities and other MS4s will earn credit towards meeting Phase II requirements for education and outreach.
