Course Title: Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control
Delivery Method: Live Online
Course Description: This 6.5-hour course provides design professionals with best management practices (BMPs) to prevent erosion and control sediment. The course begins with an analysis of NPDES rules and regulations and a review of the principles and practices of erosion prevention and sediment control. The course then provides and explains how to utilize specific structural BMPs (both temporary and permanent) and non-structural BMPs before concluding with a discussion on green engineering for streambank and shoreline stabilization.

Learners will be able to utilize permanent, structural BMPs to prevent erosion and control sediment, including spillway protection, channel linings, and turf reinforcement matting.
Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to utilize temporary, structural BMPs to prevent erosion and control sediment, including silt fences, sediment traps, rock filters, erosion control blankets, and many more.
Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to utilize non-structural BMPs to prevent erosion and control sediment, including buffer zones, vegetated filter strips, chemical soil stabilization, and sodding.
