&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last year saw the first-ever &lt;strong&gt;Excellence in GSI Awards&lt;/strong&gt;, an effort by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnphiladelphia.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Sustainable Business Network&lt;/a&gt;’s &lt;a href=&quot;http://gsipartners.sbnphiladelphia.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) Partners&lt;/a&gt; to answer that question and highlight the best in local green stormwater projects and the people making them happen.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Philadelphia Water Dept. was honored to have associations with to &lt;a href=&quot;http://archive.phillywatersheds.org/gsi-excellence-awards-showcase-philly-silicon-valley-green-infrastructure&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;two of 2016’s five award winners&lt;/a&gt;: retired PWD Commissioner Howard Neukrug took home the inaugural &lt;a href=&quot;http://gsipartners.sbnphiladelphia.org/howard-neukrug-to-receive-leadership-award-at-the-inaugural-excellence-in-gsi-awards-ceremony/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Leadership in GSI Award&lt;/a&gt; for his role in guiding the creation of the City’s 25-year &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://archive.phillywatersheds.org/what_were_doing/documents_and_data/cso_long_term_control_plan&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Green City, Clean Waters&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; program, and West Philadelphia’s Lea Elementary received the &lt;a href=&quot;http://gsipartners.sbnphiladelphia.org/public-project-finalists-announced/#lea&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Public Project Award&lt;/a&gt; for green schoolyard renovations made with the help of a PWD &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.phila.gov/water/wu/stormwater/Pages/Grants.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Stormwater Management Incentives Program&lt;/a&gt; (SMIP) grant.&lt;/p&gt;

Philadelphia’s healthy (and growing) green stormwater infrastructure economy was evident at the inaugural &lt;a href=&quot;http://gsipartners.sbnphiladelphia.org/awards/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;GSI Excellence Awards&lt;/a&gt;, hosted by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnphiladelphia.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Greater Philadelphia Sustainable Business Network&lt;/a&gt; (SBN) at the WHYY studios on March 31.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nearly 200 people involved in creating and maintaining the kind of green systems that make Philadelphia’s &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://archive.phillywatersheds.org/what_were_doing/documents_and_data/cso_long_term_control_plan&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Green City, Clean Waters&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/em&gt;program work came out to celebrate some of the best regional projects in green stormwater management. From top officials at Philadelphia Water to the owners of small private GSI maintenance firms, the crowd was an impressive and representative mix of the people making Philadelphia a national leader in green solutions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here at Philadelphia Water, every piece of our expansive, 3,000 mile stormwater system works towards toward one goal: effectively managing the water in our city that comes from storms, whether they’re summertime cloudbursts or January blizzards.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Managing stormwater is a critical and necessary task for any city. In Philadelphia, we address stormwater both to protect our neighborhoods from flooding and to protect our drinking water sources, the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers, from pollution. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We don’t get to choose whether or not we deal with stormwater. But, with our innovative 25-year, multi-billion dolar &lt;a href=&quot;http://archive.phillywatersheds.org/what_were_doing/documents_and_data/cso_long_term_control_plan&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Green City, Clean Waters program&lt;/a&gt;, we’re finding new ways of managing that water that can have additional benefits for neighborhoods—and maybe even Philadelphia’s economy too.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>GSI Partners Offer Green Jobs Training Opportunity</title>

&lt;p&gt;Creating a green economy—jobs and services rooted in environmental sustainability—isn’t just a nice side effect resulting from &lt;a href=&quot;http://archive.phillywatersheds.org/what_were_doing/documents_and_data/cso_long_term_control_plan&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Green City, Clean Waters&lt;/a&gt;. Green jobs and their economic benefits were a driving force in Philadelphia Water’s decision to develop a green infrastructure solution to our stormwater management challenges.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Helping to meet the demand for green jobs created by our 25-year green infrastructure plan is the Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia’s (SBN) &lt;a href=&quot;http://gsipartners.sbnphiladelphia.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) Partners&lt;/a&gt; group, an independent non-profit&amp;nbsp;“network of industry professionals working to advance the local green stormwater infrastructure industry and innovation in the Greater Philadelphia region.”
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;GSI Partners is currently accepting applications for a three-day course designed to provide training for professionals interested in learning about how to take care of the ever-growing stock of green stormwater infrastructure in Philadelphia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With over 1,100 green tools already in place to support Green City, Clean Waters, there’s a real demand for landscape contractors with the skills needed to perform crucial operations and maintenance tasks. That demand will grow considerably as our multi-billion dollar plan expands over the next two decades. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This course will provide valuable training to help meet that demand. Here’s a description of the curriculum from GSI Partners:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This three-day course is for landscape professionals seeking to strengthen or develop their service portfolio in operations and maintenance of public and private green stormwater infrastructure projects. The course features two classroom days and one field day, and will provide landscape contractors with an understanding of the importance of operations and maintenance (O+M) of vegetated stormwater management practices, as well as of the tasks involved. The course will cover 16 sections in total, including: Regulatory context for O+M; Identification and understanding of the components of SMP’s; Diagnosis of and response to performance and safety issues; Adaptive and prescriptive management activities.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Space is limited, and the course will take place on three separate days (August 21, 28 and September 4) at the Navy Yard. The cost is $350 per person. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://gsipartners.sbnphiladelphia.org/apply-for-a-course/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;GSI Partners’ Continuing Education Grants&lt;/a&gt; will be available to eligible GSI Partners and SBN members interested in taking the course.&lt;br /&gt;
To sign up for the course and apply for a grant, please visit the GSI Partners site &lt;a href=&quot;http://gsipartners.sbnphiladelphia.org/gsi-o-m-course/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;by clicking here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
