COURSE TITLE: Construction Site Storm Water - Sediment Control
COURSE NO: C02-002
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Construction Site Storm Water - Sediment Control
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course addresses EPA's BMP for improved quality of receiving water bodies, conservation of water resources, flood control and more.

 

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 December 8, 1999, that describes a menu of Best Management Practices (BMP). “Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control” is one of the Best Management Practices that requires operators of small MS4s in urbanized areas to implement a storm water management program for the protection of wetlands and aquatic ecosystems, improved quality of receiving water bodies, conservation of water resources, flood control, and protection of public health.

 

This 2 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 sediment control for storm water runoff from construction sites.

Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Types and methods of sediment control systems
  • Applicability
  • Siting and design criteria
  • Maintenance and cost considerations
  • Effectiveness and limitations

COURSE TITLE: Integrating Green Infrastructure into Local Hazard Mitigation Plans
COURSE NO: C02-082
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Integrating Green Infrastructure into Local Hazard Mitigation Plans
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides basic information on how communities can integrate green infrastructure into their Local Hazard Mitigation Plans.

 

Communities across the United States are facing a variety of challenges, from outdated infrastructure, to water quality protection, to the need to increase community resilience and mitigate the impacts of flooding and other hazards. These communities are looking for multi-purpose solutions to these challenges.

 

Green infrastructure is one approach to improve water quality and address flooding challenges. Green infrastructure yields many benefits, including improved water quality, reduced flooding, infrastructure cost savings, and healthier communities. While green infrastructure alone may not fully address these issues, however, it adds capacity, flexibility, and resilience to other infrastructure systems and provides multiple community benefits.

 

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to civil, environmental and stormwater engineers who are interested in examining how communities can integrate green infrastructure into their Local Hazard Mitigation Plans.
Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Familiarizing with the concept of developing a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
  • Understanding the issues, requirements and evolution of stormwater management
  • Learning how to integrate green infrastructure into the mitigation planning process
  • Identifying important considerations for communities interested in pursuing this approach
  • Exploring the green infrastructure integration efforts in the area under study
Course Document
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, "Integrating Green Infrastructure into Local Hazard Mitigation Plans”, which is based on the EPA document “Storm Smart Cities: Integrating Green Infrastructure into Local Hazard Mitigation Plans”, reference EPA 903-K-18-001, dated March 2018.

COURSE TITLE: Storm Water Pollution Prevention - Materials Management
COURSE NO: C02-005
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Storm Water Pollution Prevention - Materials Management
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course presents EPA's stormwater best management practice for the protection of wetlands and aquatic ecosystems and conservation of water.

 

Municipal operations can adversely affect the water quality system due to pollutant runoff from various activities such as park and open space maintenance, fleet and building maintenance, new construction and land disturbances, and storm water system maintenance.

 

EPA recognizes that storm water pollution resulting from municipal activities can be prevented or reduced by implementing an effective storm water operations and maintenance program. Therefore the EPA published the Storm Water Phase II Rule on December 8, 1999, that describes a menu of Best Management Practices (BMP). “Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations” is one of the Best Management Practices that requires operators of small MS4s in urbanized areas to implement a storm water management program for the protection of wetlands and aquatic ecosystems, improved quality of receiving water bodies, conservation of water resources, flood control, and protection of public health.

 

This 2 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 good housekeeping practices (materials management) for municipal operations.

Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Types and methods of materials management and good housekeeping
  • Applicability
  • Siting and design criteria
  • Maintenance and cost considerations
  • Effectiveness and limitations
