Stormwater discharges from most industrial facilities and construction projects must be permitted. At this comprehensive course, you will gain an understanding of the industrial and construction stormwater regulations that apply to your site, and identify which permits are available for your operations.

Industrial and construction permits require you to implement a site-specific Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), use effective control measures to minimize pollutant discharges, and provide training for employees who implement activities necessary to meet your permit conditions as well as employees who work in areas where industrial materials or construction activities are exposed to stormwater.

At this interactive session, you will learn how to:

• Obtain a stormwater discharge permit
• Develop and implement an effective SWPPP
• Identify and implement effective control measures (including best management practices)
• Develop and document inspection procedures
• Implement an effective monitoring and sampling plan
• Meet your permit’s training requirements
• Comply with reporting and recordkeeping requirements
• Certify no-exposure
• Comply with permit renewal requirements
• Terminate permit coverage

The course handbook, Handbook for the Management of Stormwater Discharges, includes step-by-step procedures for obtaining permits, developing SWPPPs, and contains an extensive overview of best management practices (BMPs) that will help you choose BMPs that are right for your site. Both industrial and construction stormwater discharge requirements are covered. The manual also includes inspection checklists and copies of applicable regulations.
