Discharges of stormwater from certain industrial activities and construction sites are subject to environmental permitting requirements. Understanding when permits are needed, how to obtain one, how to develop a stormwater pollution prevention plan, and effective implementation techniques is critical to maintaining compliance with this strictly enforced regulatory program.
Great Program. The breakdown of the stormwater program was
excellent. Materials provided covered a wide range of topics and
broadened my knowledge. Would certainly recommend this class!
- Liz Sauer, MAARNG – Environmental
The Stormwater Compliance Manager™ course is ideal for individuals responsible for managing stormwater permitting or developing and implementing a stormwater pollution prevention (SWPP) plan.
This unique course addresses the regulatory and management issues related to stormwater discharges under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The course is presented in a series of well-structured training modules, exercises, and open discussion to keep the instruction interesting and enjoyable. Course handout materials form a useful desk book for later reference.
Program hit the important bullet points. [Written materials] were great. The choice of reference material and SWPPP examples were great illustrations to items to look for and correct.
- Clint Beck, Freeport McMoRan
If you have an SWPP plan, you are encouraged to bring a copy to class, along with a copy of the applicable Federal/State permit, so your plan can be reviewed by the class and instructor and an action plan developed to bring your plan into full compliance.
Very satisfied with the program. Overall, a good amount of
information was presented. The workshops were particularly
helpful to understanding the course topics.
