Erosion and Sediment Control Certification Program
The recently reissued Construction Stormwater (CSW) Permit mandates certification for individuals responsible for the implementation and amendment of their SWPPP, and for individuals that are performing or overseeing the inspection, installation, and maintenance of erosion and sediment control best management practices (BMP’s).
To assist you with this new requirement, WSB & Associates is providing a MPCA approved Erosion and Sediment Control Certification Program.
The WSB Erosion and Sediment Certification Program is focused on smaller projects, such as residential and commercial building and development sites, reconstruction projects, and utility projects that don’t implement Mn/DOT specifications, due to personnel and budget constraints. The WSB Certification Program concentrates its focus on the inherent flexibility and creativity allowed to comply with the NPDES CSW Permit requirements.
