Stormwater: Erosion Control and Pollution Prevention – Training Course

Learn how to manage stormwater runoff, prevent pollution, and implement effective erosion control practices to meet environmental compliance requirements.

Training Objectives

• Define Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) and Best Management Practices (BMPs)
• Conduct site assessments to identify pollution sources and risks
• Recognize common construction-related pollutants
• Apply BMPs for inspection, maintenance, and repair
• Navigate SWPPP templates and real-world scenarios
• Understand stormwater regulations and compliance requirements

Course Overview

Stormwater runoff from construction sites can carry sediment, chemicals, and other pollutants into nearby waterways, posing serious environmental and regulatory risks. This course provides a practical introduction to stormwater pollution prevention and erosion control, helping professionals understand how to manage runoff effectively and maintain compliance with environmental standards.

Participants will learn the purpose and structure of Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) and how Best Management Practices (BMPs) are used to control erosion and reduce pollution. The course covers how to conduct site assessments to identify potential risks and implement appropriate control measures.

The training also explores common pollutants associated with construction activities, including sediment, fertilizers, waste materials, and hazardous substances. Learners will gain insight into both structural and non-structural BMPs, including how to properly install, inspect, and maintain these controls to ensure ongoing effectiveness.

In addition, the course provides guidance on navigating SWPPP templates and understanding regulatory requirements, including federal and state guidelines. Emphasis is placed on practical application, enabling participants to apply what they learn directly to real-world construction environments.

Designed for construction professionals, site supervisors, and environmental compliance personnel, this course supports regulatory compliance while promoting responsible and sustainable construction practices.
