{"product_id":"qsp-delegate-training","title":"QSP Delegate Training","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQSP 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQSP Delegate training consists of two types, as defined in the CASQA Guidelines:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegulatory Context\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eUnder the 2022 CGP, dischargers may authorize a QSP to delegate visual inspections, sampling, and SWPPP\/BMP implementation activities to trained individuals.
