Virginia Department of Environmental Quality

Rolband’s lifelong interest in wetlands and stormwater management led to his involvement in developing new stormwater regulations and the energy balance method of stormwater quantity control. Rolband established the nonprofit Wetland Research Initiative in 2007 to fund applied research in wetlands creation, restoration, and enhancement activities, and expanded it in 2012 to include stream restoration through the nonprofit Resource Protection Group, Inc. Rolband received his B.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering, M. Eng., and MBA from Cornell University, where he was a Professor of Practice from 2017-2020.
