Georgia erosion control training is in our backyard. We can help you make NPDES Permit compliance mesh financially with your erosion control requirements on your projects. The NPDES Training Institute is there for you, not just for your erosion control training, but for your understanding of the classroom in the field. Attend one of our upcoming field days. We provide informative Georgia Level 1A Fundamentals (blue card), Level 1B Advanced Fundamentals (red card), and Level 2 Introduction to Design (tan or gray card), and subcontractor awareness (white card) courses. Georgia NPDES Training is not where we stop...we are all over the nation, and have therefore been able to develop construction site training programs for soil stabilization, water clarification and regulatory and compliance inspection services that are recognized by industry professionals throughout the United States.
Our understanding of the US EPA’s NPDES General Permit requirements are second to none as we aggressively pursue knowledge and experience in our country’s very dynamic stormwater point source program. Stormwater runoff is generated when precipitation from rain and snowmelt events flows over exposed land (soil) or impervious surfaces (paved streets, parking lots, and building roof tops) and does not percolate into the ground. As the runoff flows over these surfaces, it accumulates sediment, debris, chemicals, and other pollutants that adversely affect water quality if the runoff is discharged untreated. The primary method to control stormwater discharges on construction sites and other NPDES permitted sites, is the use of best management practices (BMPs). Most stormwater discharges are considered point sources and require coverage under an NPDES permit.
