The 2022 California Construction General Permit (CGP) introduced a formal framework for Qualified SWPPP Practitioners (QSPs) to delegate specific stormwater management tasks to trained site personnel — known as QSP Delegates. This course provides the foundational training required under Section V.E.1 of the 2022 CGP and the CASQA/SWRCB QSP Delegate Training Guidelines (February 2024).
QSP Delegates are site supervisors, foremen, managers, or other construction personnel authorized by a QSP to perform visual inspections, stormwater sampling, and/or BMP implementation activities on active California construction sites. This training equips delegates with the foundational knowledge required by the 2022 CGP — enabling QSPs to legally delegate day-to-day stormwater compliance tasks while maintaining accountability.
QSP Delegate training consists of two types, as defined in the CASQA Guidelines:
1. Foundational Training (Delivered by StormwaterONE — Online)
Foundational training covers information applicable to all sites and is generally not site-specific. This component may be completed off-site, is transferable between project sites, and may be conducted in a variety of formats including online, pre-recorded, or virtual instruction. StormwaterONE's Delegate Training course covers all three required foundational modules.
2. Site-Specific Training (Delivered by QSP — In Field)
Site-specific training must be conducted at each individual project site by the responsible QSP. It covers the SWPPP, site-specific BMP layout, inspection procedures, and sampling protocols relevant to that project. This component cannot be delivered through an online course and is not included in StormwaterONE's online training — it is the responsibility of the QSP.
Regulatory Context
Under the 2022 CGP, dischargers may authorize a QSP to delegate visual inspections, sampling, and SWPPP/BMP implementation activities to trained individuals. The QSP Delegate Training Guidelines, developed jointly by CASQA and the State Water Resources Control Board through the Construction General Permit Training Team (CGPTT), define the mandatory training framework QSPs must follow when training their delegates.
Important regulatory note: The QSP remains fully responsible for all work performed by their delegates. The Water Boards may take action against QSPs — including additional training requirements, suspension, or rescission of QSP certification — if delegates are found to have performed tasks without adequate training or demonstrated competence.

The StormwaterONE program is excellent! Training is provided in multiple ways to ensure all learning styles are accommodated. The content is relevant and of high quality. Delivery of content is nothing short of superior irrespective of being self-paced training or delivered by one of the many experienced instructors. I have personally taken, and will recommend, training from StormwaterONE to become educated in the trade. You will become skilled in the requirements of Stormwater management.

StormwaterONE.com is operated by StormwaterONE, L.L.C. StormwaterONE is a private occupational trade school for stormwater management. Our school is located in Rocky Hill, Connecticut.
Our school has been in operation since 2007 and to date we have trained and credentialed more than thirty thousand construction professionals on the subject of stormwater management through our Internet-based learning system, which is referred to as the eCampus.
As the leader in computer-based stormwater management training and credentialing, our school's mission is to provide our students with the most comprehensive and up to date training of individual stormwater permits.
Our credentialing programs provide professionals with the skills and qualifications required to maintain construction sites in accordance with section 402 of the Clean Water Act. Section 402 of the Clean Water Act outlines the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program and requires all construction sites disturbing one (1) acre or more of land to obtain permit coverage to discharge stormwater and other wastewater from construction sites.
