Presented by: Kevin Boesch, SWCA Environmental Consultants, Compliance Senior Project Manager - Stormwater
Level: Intermediate
Duration: 1 hour
Type of Course: Webinar - Live
This is a unique insight into CWA permitting and Best Management Practices (BMPs)/Stormwater Control Measures (CMs) which are used to meet environmental regulations for the construction industry. It is necessary to use correct BMPs/CMs for the correct application, in the correct location, for the correct place, and to be installed correctly. Meeting each of these four critical elements will save time, money, effort rework, damage, and help to reduce compliance headaches. The 5th element is the most important, non-structural controls. Often overlooked and frequently misunderstood, these controls are the largest factor in reduction of costs.
This presentation focuses on how to meet regulations at a National and State level and how that applies to the construction contractor’s understanding of regulatory compliance. This presentation explores the approach of considering project lifespan instead of initial costs. This approach helps to address realistic estimations for maintenance, repairs, replacement, servicing, and ultimately the removal of products and implements. Early project understanding about realistic costs for inspection by a professional or even having an adequate SWPPP designed is often overlooked. Has the project purchased BMPs/CMs that do not protect from the project’s pollutant sources? Are installation requirements per project specifications, jurisdictional, or manufacture’s recommendation? Are the products we purchased even installed in the correct location?
Learning Objective:
Upon completion, participants will understand proper planning, costs consideration, reduction in rework and out of budget expenses.
