Stormwater and Erosion Control for Construction

This course enlightens you about stormwater and erosion control, focusing on Best Management Practices (BMPs). It is particularly relevant to employees in the construction industry who are involved in the development and execution of Stormwater Pollution Prevention Programs (SWPPPs) as part of the permitting process.

Stormwater and Erosion Control for Construction

COURSE OVERVIEW

Rainstorms and melting snow can carry pollutants such as sediment, oil, grease, and other chemicals, resulting in contaminated runoff. This runoff can directly or indirectly pollute our lakes, rivers, and streams. Hence, stormwater contamination prevention is crucial for maintaining clean water for diverse uses, such as swimming, fishing, and drinking. The federal law in the U.S. necessitates construction sites to secure stormwater permits if the project will disrupt an acre or more of land. This course, Stormwater and Erosion Control for Construction, discusses the Best Management Practices (BMPs) for controlling stormwater and erosion. Construction industry personnel are the ideal candidates for this course.
