Course Title: Erosion and Sediment Control
Delivery Method: Live Online
Course Description: This course examines erosion and sediment control requirements and practices, goals and selection of erosion and sediment control practices, non-structural and structural control practices, stream and bank stabilization techniques, and sediment traps and sediment basins.
Learning Objectives:
Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to utilize practices that minimize project site disturbances that cause erosion and preserve native vegetation.
