Ground Control: Stormwater Pollution Prevention for Construction Sites

$30

This course earns 1.0 Professional Development Hour upon completion of the video.

This course shows employees how erosion, sediments, and other potential surface water pollutants are controlled at construction sites. The program focuses on Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are widely used at most construction sites including: silt fence, stabilized entrances/exits, drop inlet protectors and others. The program illustrates how these BMPs work and how they can fail. Employees are encouraged to promptly report any failing BMPs. By making all employees "look-outs" for BMP problems, this training program is an important part of the required BMP maintenance program.

EC24-Construction Site Inspection Techniques

$350 for non-members
$250 for members

This course earns 7.0 Professional Development Hours.

This course will look at the process of inspecting construction sites and best management practices to meet storm water compliance. It will discuss the regulations pertaining to inspections, inspection protocol, necessary paperwork, and inspecting the SWPPP as well as the site BMPs. This course will discuss hazardous materials issues and focus on field experiences.

Overall, this course is intended to provide a broad overview to construction site inspection techniques. This course will also cover inspections for MS4 phase II communities to determine if the post construction BMPs are effective. It will provide real world examples and provide information on violation exposure and risk of fines if not in compliance. With increases in regulations and more risk of violations, inspections are a critical issue. This course will guide your inspectors to the current trends, tools and techniques that are necessary to properly inspect and document active construction sites.

The Construction Site Inspection Techniques, is a recorded live webinar, 7 modules long. About 20 min into module one the instructor shows a video clip. Unfortunately in the recording you cannot see the video clip and the slide presentation never resumes for the duration of that module. The audio is still intact and I send out a PDF of the slide show so you can follow along. Also in module 6 a very similar thing happens about 7 minutes into the module, the slides freeze and never resume for the duration of the module. Unfortunately we do not have the PDF of slides for module six for you to follow along with. The audio is still intact with this one as well.

If you are still interested in this course we would be happy to sell it to you at a discounted price.

We have contacted the instructor and hope to rerecord this training course in the next couple of months.

EC29 - Illicit Discharge (ID) Detection and Elimination

EC47-Water Harvesting or Rainwater Management

$65 for non-members
$55 for members

This course earns 1.0 Professional Development Hour.

Water harvesting is the activity of direct collection of rainwater. Water harvesting means to understand the value of rain and to make optimum use of the rainwater at the place where it falls. Because of drought conditions and water pollution, many states are beginning to see the value of water harvesting.

This course will show individuals and communities the benefits of a water harvesting system, how to construct a water harvesting system, and how to maintain a water harvesting system.

Agenda:

Give an overview of water harvesting.
Through case studies, show how water harvesting is beneficial to minimizing pollution from stormwater runoff.
Through case studies, show how water harvesting is useful for water conservation.
Show participants how to construct a water harvesting system (residential and commercial)
Detail best maintenance practices on the system.
