Post Construction Storm Water Management - Structural BMP's
This online engineering PDH course describes EPA's stormwater BMP for protecting streams receiving runoff from alterations in hydraulic and aquatic characteristics.
Erosion and sedimentation related to construction site storm water runoff can significantly affect the aquatic population and hydraulic characteristics of the receiving waters. Alterations in hydraulic characteristics of streams receiving runoff include higher peak flow rates, increased frequency and duration of bankfull and subbankfull flows, increased occurrences of downstream flooding, and reduced baseflow levels.
EPA recognizes that such alterations can be prevented by implementing an effective storm water management program. Therefore the EPA published the Storm Water Phase II Rule on
This 10 PDH online course is applicable to municipality owners and/or operators, construction contractors/workers, site developers, engineers, managers, and all other personnel involved in the implementation of structural best management practices for post construction storm water management.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Types and methods of structural bmp for storm water management
- Applicability
- Siting and design criteria
- Maintenance and cost considerations
- Effectiveness and limitations
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review EPA’s “Structural BMP” section of the “Post Construction Storm Water Management in New Development and Redevelopment”. This section of the BMP addresses the following:
- Dry Extended Detention Ponds
- Wet Ponds
- Infiltration Trenches
- Porous Pavements
- Bioretention
- Sand and Organic Filters
- Storm Water Wetlands
- Grassed Swales
- Grassed Filter Strips
- Catch Basins
- In-line Storage
- Manufactured Products for Storm Water Inlets
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of forty (40) questions to earn 10 PDH credits. The quiz will be based on the “Structural BMP” section of this EPA publication.
