Construction Site – Erosion and Sediment Control: 5 PDH

$30.00

In this course the student will gain a comprehensive understanding of how urbanization alters natural hydrologic processes and contributes to environmental degradation through increased stormwater runoff, erosion, and pollutant transport. They will also understand the interrelationship between land development practices, vegetation, soil integrity, and water quality.Instructor: Raymond Bosek, PE

SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE OR SKILL OBTAINED

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

    • Explain the hydrologic cycle and describe how urbanization alters natural stormwater flow patterns.
    • Identify key pollutants associated with various land uses and construction activities, and their impacts on water quality.
    • Evaluate the physical, chemical, and biological effects of increased impervious surfaces on watershed ecosystems.
    • Conduct site assessments to collect critical environmental data including topography, soil characteristics, hydrologic features, and vegetation.
    • Design erosion and sediment control plans incorporating both structural and non-structural stormwater quality measures.
    • Develop comprehensive stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs) that address both active construction and post-construction phases.
