SUMMARY:Vacuum Wastewater and Adaptive Reuse Lunch & Learn
DESCRIPTION:Explore how vacuum wastewater technology is transforming adaptive reuse and modern building design at our Lunch & Learn\n\n\n\nConnect over lunch for an engaging discussion on how vacuum wastewater technology is transforming adaptive reuse and modern building design at our Vacuum Wastewater & Adaptive Reuse Lunch & Learn\, featuring Evac. \nWith more than 40 years of experience\, Evac has been helping building projects overcome site-specific challenges through innovative vacuum wastewater collection systems. Originally adapted from the transportation industry\, this versatile technology offers a powerful alternative to traditional gravity systems—delivering flexibility\, significant water savings\, and strong sustainability performance for both new construction and adaptive reuse projects. \nJoin us for an informative presentation exploring how vacuum wastewater systems can support historic renovations\, complex retrofits\, and high-performance commercial buildings. Learn how these systems contribute to green building certifications such as LEED\, BREEAM\, DGNB\, and HQE\, while helping future-proof buildings against evolving regulations and rising water\, waste\, and carbon costs. \nLunch will be provided\, along with opportunities to ask questions and connect with fellow industry professionals. \nWhat to Expect: \n\nVacuum Wastewater 101: An introduction to vacuum plumbing systems for new construction\, adaptive reuse\, and historic buildings\nSystem Components Explained: Overview of vacuum generators\, interface valves\, plumbing fixtures\, and how they work together\nDesign & Planning Guidance: Key considerations\, design flexibility\, and the right questions to ask when evaluating vacuum wastewater solutions\nSmarter Plumbing Design: Learn how vacuum systems enable flexible piping layouts\, eliminate vent piping\, and simplify challenging retrofits\nHealth & Safety Benefits: How vacuum wastewater systems help reduce the spread of viruses and bacteria—especially relevant for healthcare and high-occupancy buildings\nSustainability & Savings: Energy and water savings that support LEED\, BREEAM\, and other green building certifications\nReal-World Applications: Adaptive reuse solutions and completed project examples from across the United States\n\nThis event is ideal for architects\, engineers\, developers\, property managers\, sustainability professionals\, and anyone working on adaptive reuse or high-performance commercial building projects. \nThank you to our Event Sponsor: CHC Hydro!

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Collaborative Stormwater Solutions in Action
DESCRIPTION:Discover how innovative stormwater solutions are advancing climate resilience!\n\n\n\nJoin us for a lunch and learn highlighting the Adopt-a-Downspout program and other innovative stormwater initiatives that are advancing climate resilience in our region. Hear from leaders at WSDOT\, Stewardship Partners\, and The Nature Conservancy as they discuss cross-sector collaboration\, funding pathways for municipalities\, and on-the-ground projects in Bellevue\, including the recently installed Boxes of Rain beneath the I-405 to I-90 HOV on-ramp. \nThe program will conclude with an optional site visit to view the Rain Boxes in action; attendees should plan to drive or carpool for this portion. Bring rain gear and prepare to join in the field even if it is raining. Then you will get to see the Box of Rain in action. The installation is under an on-ramp so we will have some cover. \nWhat to Expect: \n\nExpert Panel Discussion: Learn about the Adopt-a-Downspout program and other innovative stormwater strategies supporting climate resilience\nCross-Sector Insights: Hear from WSDOT\, Stewardship Partners\, and The Nature Conservancy on collaboration\, funding opportunities\, and implementation lessons\nLocal Project Highlights: Explore stormwater projects in Bellevue\, including the Boxes of Rain installation near the I-405 to I-90 interchange\nOptional Site Visit: See the Boxes of Rain up close and learn how they function in a real-world setting\nRain or Shine Experience: Come prepared for outdoor conditions and get a firsthand look at green infrastructure in action\n\nMeet the Speakers \nKate Sievers | Project Manager for Nature Based Solutions: Kate Sievers (she/her) is an environmental engineer with The Nature Conservancy. She provides technical\, project-based leadership and support to design\, test and implement nature-based solutions that address challenging societal and conservation issues. Prior to working in conservation\, she served in the US Air Force as a Bioenvironmental Engineer for 10 years. \nDavid Burger | Stewardship Partners: David brings 20+ years of experience in community-based salmon recovery and nonprofit leadership. As executive director of Stewardship Partners\, he works with landowners and stakeholders to restore fish and wildlife habitat while supporting economic viability. \nTatiana Driesbach | Stormwater Retrofit Outreach and Innovation Lead WSDOT  & Tony Bush | Stormwater Branch Manager WSDOT \nBoth Tatiana Dreisbach and Tony Bush have worked in Washington State Department of Transportation’s (WSDOT) Environmental Services Office since the early 2000s. They both worked for many years in WSDOT’s Wetland Program. Tony managed the Wetland Program before moving to WSDOT’s Stormwater Branch\, as the Stormwater Branch Manager in 2022\, where he manages WSDOT’s programs on National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit\, Stormwater Science\, Monitoring & Research\, Stormwater Features Inventory\, Stormwater Retrofits\, and WSDOT’s environmental stewardship related to statewide water quality. Tatiana worked as the Wetland Assessment Lead before moving to the Stormwater Branch in 2023 as the Stormwater Retrofit Outreach and Innovation Lead. Together they are working on WSDOT’s stormwater retrofit program and prioritizing where to improve water quality and quantity\, benefit salmon and other species and habitats\, consider environmental justice and tribal rights and interests\, and incorporate best available science into WSDOT stormwater retrofit planning decisions.
