SUMMARY:Visiting International Professional Program Signature Lecture: Patrick Lindemann
DESCRIPTION:
 Re-inventing and redefining infrastructure to 
 be a tool of environmental protection, Drain 
 Commissioner Patrick E. Lindemann will use this 
 lecture to show how he thinks outside the 
 box to build innovative projects that protect 
 people and property while cleaning stormwater.\n
 \n
 	Patrick 
 E. Lindemann holds a Bachelor 
 of Science Degree in Resource Development from 
 Michigan State University. He is currently 
 the Ingham County Drain Commissioner, an office 
 he has held since 1993. In his 24 years in 
 office, he has supervised the construction and 
 maintenance of millions of dollars of drain improvements 
 that have opened the way for hundreds 
 of millions of dollars of new economic 
 growth.\n
 Lindemann is known globally for implementing 
 innovative water management projects. 
 He is a champion of Low Impact Design solutions 
 that manage storm water at its source, 
 using naturalized systems that reduce flooding 
 and absorb pollutants rather than pushing 
 them downstream. Many of his projects have achieved 
 award-winning attention, including pioneering 
 the Tollgate Drain - a series of wetlands, 
 streams, weirs, and ponds that were constructed to 
 solve a combined sewer overflow and 
 flooding problem, while also removing pollutants 
 there by improving the health of the Red 
 Cedar River. His designs have saved millions 
 of dollars while improving the overall health 
 of our environment. Clean Water Action named 
 Lindemann Hero of the Great Lakes in 2007.\n
