IECA can connect you with the resources you need to keep dirt on your site and $$ in your pocket.
IECA can connect you with the technology that helps you reduce your risk of environmental fines, protect the environment and keep the inspectors (and your neighbors) happy.
More than ever before, homebuilders are prime targets for enforcement of storm water regulations. It is not uncommon to read headlines about builders who have been fined, and fined heavily, for not complying with federal, state and local environmental laws.
Know The Law and What it Means to You
We offer a variety of training that can familiarize you with today’s regulations, describe the penalties you could face and provide a wide range of Best Management Practices (BMPs) that can help you avoid fines, costly shutdowns and bad press.
Check out these training courses for timely education that can keep you on the right side of the law:
- Tools for Rules: How to Select, Install and Inspect Construction Site BMPs for NPDES Compliance
- How to Write and Implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
- Low Impact Development: Saving Soil by Design
- The Dynamics of Soil: New Practices and Methods for the 21st Century
IECA members can access our online Compliance Resource Center, which is designed to minimize your risk of fines and non-compliance.
Find the Best Products To Keep Your Dirt on Site
Muddy water leaving a construction site is one of the biggest red flags for enforcement officials. Explore the world’s largest marketplace of erosion and sediment control technology online in our brand new Products and Services Directory or in person at the EC06 Expo.
As a National Stormwater Director within the homebuilding industry, I encourage my colleagues to utilize the IECA as a “tool” for networking with other industry professionals such as consultants, contractors, regulators, and vendors so they can manage their respective programs via a practical and cost effective approach.
