Construction Site SWPPP Compliance: Learning to truly implement a compliant program

Monday August 3, 2015
8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
0.5 Continuing Education Unit
Fee: $250.00
Register Now

Course Description

This fresh approach to stormwater compliance for construction sites will focus on strategies that are not necessarily highly technical; rather they demand high levels of common sense. If you, or your construction site exposes more than an acre of disturbed soil you already understand the confusing, comprehensive regulations surrounding stormwater compliance. Read more…

Stormwater Pollution Modeling for LID, TMDL, and Retrofitting Analyses -  An Overview of WinSLAMM

Monday August 3, 2015
8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
0.5 Continuing Education Unit
Fee: $250.00
Register Now

This hands-on computer-based course will demonstrate how to use WinSLAMM to utilize source area stormwater controls to maintain or create a hydrologically functional landscape that mimics natural watersheds' hydrologic functions (volume, frequency, recharge, and discharge). By integrating source area controls into site design, you can approach the pre-development site stability to retain water and pollutants. Read more…

Repairing Entrenched, Incised and Degraded Urban Streams – Techniques and Case Studies

Monday August 3, 2015
8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
0.5 Continuing Education Unit
Fee: $250.00
Register Now 

Urbanization, with its associated decrease in overall infiltration and increases in impermeable surfaces, along with a proliferation of hydrologic and hydraulic sciences that "get the water off the site", frequently result in incision of the associated urban streams. Not just urbanization but also other anthropogenic factors such as dams, heavy long-term grazing, highly roaded timber areas, and instream gravel mining. Read more…

Instructors: John McCullah, and Dave Derrick

Designing and Reviewing Effective Sediment and Erosion Control Plans for Construction Sites

Monday August 3, 2015
8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
0.5 Continuing Education Unit
Fee: $250.00
Register Now

This one-day advance level course is for designers, reviewers, or anyone responsible for effective sediment and erosion control plans for general construction sites. It is expected that all participants will have a good knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering as well as an excellent understanding of sediment and erosion control practices. The course will demonstrate how applying science and engineering principles can increase the effectiveness (and identify limitations) of BMPs. It will also provide accountability and technical tools for designers and reviewers for use in the development of effective sediment and erosion control plans. Read more…
