Presented by Water by Design and TOPO Group, this training is a comprehensive two-day program tailored for local government planning and compliance officers, site supervisors, foremen, environmental advisors, engineers, and project managers involved in erosion and sediment control (ESC) design, management and regulation. This course is crafted to equip professionals with the essential skills and knowledge needed for effective ESC management.

The first day of this two-day course will include presentations and discussions on:

  • Awareness of the impacts of poor onsite ESC management on the receiving environment.
  • Review of relevant legislation and requirements.
  • Overview of problem soils and management.
  • Awareness of what is considered best practice for managing ESC and the associated limitations.
  • Appreciation of why some erosion and sediment control techniques are more effective than others.
  • An understanding of basic construction and maintenance requirements for drainage, erosion and sediment control measures.
  • Knowledge of sediment basin design and operation (including Type A & B basins).
  • Achieving successful revegetation on all sites.
  • Water quality monitoring (turbidity, TSS, pH).
  • Inspection and auditing requirements.

The second day will include a field trip to look at ESC implementation on active construction sites.
