This engaging online course distills nearly 20 years of field and design experience into a focused one-hour training on biotechnical soil stabilization. Ideal for both newcomers and seasoned professionals, the course explores the practical science, history, and application of bioengineering techniques used to stabilize soil and protect slopes.
You’ll gain insight into the origins and evolution of bioengineering practices in the western U.S., including the history behind familiar tools such as straw wattles and other natural stabilization methods. The course also explains the concept of “design life” in biotechnical systems, emphasizing the role of successional reclamation and how living systems develop long-term stability.
Participants will learn four of the most effective willow-based stabilization techniques, along with the guiding principles behind their use, the geotechnical benefits they provide, and the key details required for successful design and installation. Real-world project examples—shared with the benefit of time and performance observation—help illustrate what works, what doesn’t, and why.
The methods covered are applicable in both riverine and upland environments, making this course valuable for designers, inspectors, and field implementers looking to improve project performance and long-term stabilization success.

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.
