LandTech staff (Mike and Jay) recently attended an erosion control workshop in Knoxville, conducted by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC). This workshop, “Level II Design Principles for Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control for Construction Sites”, is a continuation of the Level I workshop attended in May.
According to the TDEC website http://tnepsc.org/page.asp?ID=5 :
The Level II course…..is an advanced 2-day workshop designed for engineers and other professionals who have completed the prerequisite Level I course. TDEC through the current 2011 Construction Permit (CGP), requires that the SWPPP [Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan] be prepared by individuals who have a working knowledge of erosion prevention and sediment controls, such as those who have successfully completed the Level II design principles course. Effective May 24, 2013, Site Assessment Inspections for quality assurance of installation, functionality and performance of erosion and sediment control practices at construction sites discharging into Impaired or Exceptional Tennessee Waters must be performed by individuals, who at minimum, have completed the Level II course.
The last remaining step for our staff to achieve a Level II certification is to complete a take-home examination. We should get our results back within a month. Crossing our fingers!!!
