Will climate change change stormwater?

At the water issues meeting on April 27, MPCA Peter Ciborowski (Air Assessment & Environmental Data Management--and resident expert on climate change) provided a thorough and engaging presentation to a packed audience on potential impacts of climate change on water resources. As a follow-up, the Water People will hold a meeting on May 11 (internal) to discuss it:
How does climate change affect some of the not-so-obvious programs, such as decisions made at remediation sites or sizing decisions for stormwater?
By the way, the new stormwater manual, put out by the Stormwater Steering Committee, has a chapter (PDF) on unified stormwater sizing criteria.
