Wisconsin Sedimentation & Erosion Control Inspector (WISECI)TM Best Management Practices

 

Learn techniques to establish Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) for your construction site, and eliminate problems before they cause higher costs and slowdowns for your project.

This practical seminar can help you and your project staff save time and money by avoiding erosion and sediment releases. You will learn about proper installation and maintenance of typical BMPs as well as proper documentation to help keep your project in compliance with local and state regulations.

This course is of benefit to inspectors, contractors, foremen, project managers, consultants, stormwater managers and owners of construction site projects and related activities (grading, culvert replacements, utility trenching, etc.)

Earn the designation WISECI when you pass the exam at the end of this course

More

It is estimated that the average unstabilized construction site releases 35-45 tons of sediment each year into waterways, lakes and streams. Uncontrolled releases adversely impact water quality. It can immediately degrade fish habitat and interfere with our use of recreational waters. Heavy turbidity gets noticed!

Sediment release due to construction site activity is a concern on many public and private projects. Regulatory agencies look for, and enforce against releases, even if it is unintended. If "dirty water" is leaving your construction site or highway project - you could be at risk.

Companies can save valuable time and money by taking steps to avoid enforcement. Enforcement can lead to work stoppages, notices of violation and costly slow-down to ongoing projects.
