EPSC Certification Program
This one-day course is for contractors, developers, and home builders who will be overseeing or be directly responsible for any land clearing, construction or development activities involving the movement of earth. As of April 1, 2006 an EPSC Certified Contractor will be required for all land clearing activities; including but not limited to: building, grading, pool, demolition, and paving permits. This course is designed to provide these individuals with the knowledge and skills to comply with local, state, and federal regulations regarding erosion prevention and sediment control practices.
The course will provide information regarding the new NPDES Phase II Stormwater ordinance, the responsibilities of a certified contractor regarding Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control, the City’s permitting processes, and an overview of the City’s Stormwater Manual. Following the course presentation, a short test will be administered. A passing grade of 70 will be required to obtain certification.
In addition, the course will describe the recertification process that is required every three years.
