IACET Credited eLearning Courses
Jennifer Hildebrand’s SWPPP and the MS4 101 courses will provide you with 0.1 IACET CEU Credit or 1 PDH.
How to Write and Implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
Have you found yourself struggling with designing or reviewing a SWPPP that really works? Have you been a part of a project in the past where the SWPPP was never properly implemented? Then you understand already the need for a document which is field ready, and cohesive. The primary stormwater pollutant at construction sites is sediment. To control and manage this pollutant, you need a good set of directions. These directions, are most effectively conveyed in a dynamic, well designed series of documents called a SWPPP (Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan). In order to design and develop a document like this effectively, it is important to follow some basic steps. In addition, it helps to further synthesize this development process with real – site specific complications. This design protocol makes your SWPPP unique and more effective than the typical “off the shelf templates” which haven’t been developed with a specific site and it’s dynamic conditions in mind. This course, when complete; will provide the user with a series of concrete steps to integrate within their next SWPPP design or SWPPP review.
Whether you have never designed a SWPPP before, or done many – this course is for you.
- Upon completion of this course, you will receive a certificate for 3 Professional Development Hours or 0.3 IACET CEU.
- You will have two weeks to complete this (approximately) 160 minute, 4 module course.
