Program Overview

This Video Course is intended to provide the SWPPP Practitioner, Inspector, Regulator, Construction Staff and/or others an opportunity to learn and experience what is necessary to install and complete a BMP installation inspection.  Generally speaking, it might take months or years of work in erosion and sediment control for the BMP practitioner, the regulator, or the SWPPP designer to obtain sufficient field experiences to gain a “working knowledge of proper BMP installation”.

Program Overview

The title of this course has ‘SUMMIT’ in it because this unique video training course is “almost” equivalent to spending two-days at the acclaimed Best of the BMPs Summit at the world-famous Shasta College Training Facility. Three-years of the Shasta College BMP SUMMITS went into the making of this unique and “only one of its kind course”. 

The use of dirttime.tv videos provide the centerpiece for this Course. The method of instruction for the BMP Summits is to provide the theory followed up by hands-on or experiential learning. This course follows the same principles - while the hands-on component of ‘learning’ comes from the interesting and exciting Dirt Time videos. 

By taking this course and completing the follow-up exams with a 75% grade or better, you will receive a Certificate of Completion for 1.0 CEUs.  Guaranteed that this interesting and fast-moving course, with lots of visual elements, will keep you attractive, attentive, and engrossed.  

Program Overview

Low Impact Development (LID) embodies a paradigm shift in how land is developed and how storm water is managed from that development. LID is achieved through the implementation of techniques that mimic pre-development hydrologic conditions by addressing storm water runoff at the source point versus the “end of the pipe.” The bioretention system, which reduces runoff volumes while decreasing pollutant loads found in nonpoint source flow, represents one of the most commonly applied Low Impact Development devices in green infrastructure today. This webinar will introduce the basics of bioretention systems, how they work, why they work and how they can save on project costs.

Program Overview

From March 2013, this Free CEU webinar addresses Green Infrastructure in the U.S. and abroad and touches on the U.S. rules and regulations for G.I. implementation.

• Dr Les Lampe, Vice President, Black & Veatch Corporation
• Jeff Henson, Director of Water Resources and Associate Vice President, Black & Veatch
• Jim Schlaman, Project Engineer, Black & Veatch

Program Overview

This FREE webinar will address the the environmental, physical and financial solutions that can be jointly applied for stormwater management in the United States. 

• Kathryn Edwards, Project Manager, Arcadis, U.S., Inc
• Pete Yakimowich, P.E., Senior Consultant, ARCADIS

Program Overview

From the March 2012 Storm Water Solutions Virtual Expo, this Stormwater ONE/Storm Water Solutions CEU webinar will address the many changes occurring at present and anticipated in the near future for EPA’s NPDES Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit program.

• Pete Yakimowich, P.E., Senior Consultant, ARCADIS
• Dan Markowitz, Ph.D., Principal Scientist, ARCADIS
• Anwer Ahmed, P.E., DWRE, Vice President, Stormwater Discipline, ARCADIS

Program Overview

This webinar will cover the basics of erosion and sediment control for oil and gas operations. The discussion topics will include how to select, install and maintain appropriate Best Management Practices (BMP) for erosion and sediment control based on common site conditions such as constructing a well pad location, pipelines and access roads. The program will focus on effective preventative techniques to control erosion. Additional topics will include how to implement sediment removal practices as well key elements of conducting an inspection of erosion and sediment control features.

Program Overview

Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) has positioned itself as a solution for many issues facing urban environments, not just stormwater.Because of this, there is a lot of hype around the US among municipalities, engineers, and urban planners to name a few. This presentation will go over the basics of urban hydrology, the history of how we got here, and modern issues that GSI can address. We will review GSI solutions and lessons learned. Drawing from my experience on the ground with pilot projects in New York City and Philadelphia, I will share my thoughts and recommendations moving forward.

Panelist: Scott Jeffers, PE, PhD

Organizers: Andrew Demers

Program Overview

Learn best practices for preparing construction sites for the impending winter season.  Whether you are preparing for the “rainy season,” sub-zero weather, or erosive desert winds, this presentation will be packed with real-life practical solutions for almost anything mother nature can throw at your stormwater compliance program.

Program Overview

This presentation will cover the various non-structural BMPs which can and should be implemented on a construction site to assist in the compliance of your CGP.

Program Overview

This presentation will discuss the most common violations related to stormwater pollution prevention on construction sites. You will be taught a process to help identify potential violations, recognize challenges within the job site and how to properly tackle these preventable mistakes. We will also inform you of the potential fines, penalties and work-stop orders that can be issued if your site is not in proper compliance.

Program Overview

This presentation will look at the key elements, considerations, and approaches for successful stormwater BMP design and selection given your site’s specific needs. Learn how to follow the necessary steps to ensure your construction site is in proper environmental compliance. Whether it is identifying potential pollution prevention opportunities or how to evaluate your job site for appropriate BMP selection.

Program Overview

This webinar will dig into the evolution of inspections going from manual processes to digital inspections that harness big data and the cloud to increase efficiencies. We’ll highlight current best practices for inspections and show cutting-edge technology that streamlines tasks like weather tracking, capturing photos, and closing the loop with site issues as well as provides key reporting and analytics for your stormwater program. The information provided will inspire viewers to look beyond the old-school manual process and utilize digital tools that can bring a new level of efficiency to their program.
