ELG’s and the Construction Industry: What does this new rule mean to my project?

Instructor: Jennifer Hildebrand

Date: March 26th, noon central

PDH: 1

Members: $50
Non-Members: $65

On November 23rd, 2009 the United States Environmental Protection Agency issued a final rule to more diligently manage construction site runoff. As many construction professionals are already aware the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit has been actively in affect regulating construction sites since the late 1980’s; however, this new rule will intensify these federally mandated requirements. This new rule requires construction site owners and operators to implement a range of erosion and sediment control measures and pollution prevention practices to control pollutants in discharges from construction sites. In addition, the rule will require certain owners and operators to sample these stormwater discharges and comply with a numeric standard for the pollutant turbidity in these discharges. How is this going to affect your construction sites? Are you ready for deployment of this program within your company, have you projected any costs in your new project bids to cover this new rule and requirement? Attend this webinar to gain a comprehensive understanding of how this new rule will affect your construction sites, and begin planning to implement the practices that will most directly benefit your bottom line. New rules can often be cumbersome, but ignoring them will not yield more money to your bottom line. Become smarter, gain knowledge, and make a plan for implementation of appropriate practices before your competition does!

Construction Inspection Techniques That Really Work!

Instructor: Jennifer Hildebrand

Date: June 25th, noon central

PDH: 1

Members: $50
Non-Members: $65

This webinar will look at inspection programs that really do work! The focus will be both from the perspective of the inspector for a regulatory agency and the inspector who may be inspecting their own sites. In this day and age where documentation and legal perspectives are often scrutinized long after the event occurs the proper way to conduct inspections has never been more important. How your write things down is often more important than what you are writing down for deficiencies. If you are conducting inspections on construction sites, or post construction stormwater facilities; this course is for you. We will discuss successful inspection programs for MS4's and traditional construction companies. We will learn about the differences needed when conducting inspections on post construction stormwater practices, We will learn about common mistakes, and how to avoid repeating them on your projects. Come and learn about techniques for proper inspection, challenges with communication, and proper documentation techniques. Don't miss an opportunity to view program components that will change the way you conduct your very next inspection. Learn techniques that are not taught in traditional programs, and capitalize on others mistakes. Take this time to focus on one of the most important items of environmental compliance you can complete, proper inspections.
