Web Training Focuses on Storm Water Management

The International Erosion Control Association is offering Web-based training for builders, developers and engineers interested in learning more about storm water Best Management Practices (BMPs).

“Stormwater BMP Maintenance” continues this week, while upcoming sessions will cover stream assessment and monitoring, storm water pollution prevention plans and enforcement information.

The BMP maintenance classes include information on plant selection, weed control, cleaning, sediment and debris removal and more.

The assessment classes include information on functions and processes that are critical to stream health and that enable building industry professionals to conduct assessment, monitoring, inventory and inspection duties and to make the permit process more clear.

Class registration information is available at the IECA Web training site.
