Educational Track: Erosion and Sediment Control

The educational cornerstone of IECA has long been Erosion & Sediment Control. This wide-ranging educational track encompasses many of the long-standing technology sections that have been a part of the Association's educational offerings. Topics in this track include erosion & sediment control BMPs, SWPPP management, vegetative establishment, wind erosion, slope technology, inspecting, monitoring and maintenance, and professional certifications. This track also includes construction stormwater-related business and legal issues.
