Corporate Training By Zack Academy - CESCL: Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead Training

This course provides a 3-year Construction Stormwater Certification valid in both Washington (CESCL) and Oregon (1200C).

Why Should You Take This Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead Training Course?

CESCL (Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead) certification is required in the state of Washington by the Washington State Department of Ecology and in the state of Oregon by the Department of Environmental Quality.  It is required for personnel responsible for construction stormwater inspections and sampling at construction sites. This Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead Training class offers a dynamic interaction between the traditional classroom style and hands-on exercises. Upon completion of the course, attendees will know how to simply and confidently comply with federal, state, and local regulatory requirements of stormwater management.

Intended Audience:  Contractors, agencies and municipalities, engineers, consultants and anyone else who desires to receive their CECSL certification.

Class Agenda:

• Day 1 + Day 2 (morning): Classroom examination of the most up-to-date techniques in the management of sediment and construction sites and discussing regulations, impacts, case studies, and more.
• Day 2 (afternoon): Field site practice in choosing and correctly installing mats, blankets, check dams, bonded fiber matrix, straw, and other erosion control techniques for various site locations. Demonstrations will also be conducted to show how the correctly placed BMP's respond to water flow.

Topics to be Covered Include:  Please click the Course Syllabus tab

Please Note: The Construction Stormwater General Permit requires that site inspections be conducted by a CESCL. This CESCL certification course is recognized as meeting the training and certification requirements of the General Permit, and BMP C160 Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead (CESCL) in Ecology's stormwater management manuals for eastern and western Washington.
