Runoff from rainstorms and snowmelt picks up pollutants like sediment, oil, grease and other chemicals. Contaminated runoff may flow into storm drains or it may flow directly into lakes, rivers and streams. Preventing stormwater contamination ensures clean water for swimming, fishing and drinking. U.S. Federal law requires construction sites to obtain stormwater permits any time an acre or more of land will be disturbed. As part of the permitting process, companies implement stormwater pollution prevention programs, or SWPPPs. This course covers Best Management Practices (BMPs) for stormwater and erosion control. Ideal employees are those in the construction industry.

Laws require us to regulate stormwater in order to reduce the pollution of rivers and lakes. Identifying sources of storm water pollution and keeping them from coming in contact with runoff is one of the best and most economical ways of protecting the quality of our waters. This course presents best management practices to prevent stormwater pollution.

Las leyes nos exigen que regulemos las aguas pluviales con objeto de reducir la contaminación de ríos y lagos. Identificar las fuentes de contaminación de aguas pluviales y evitar que tengan contacto con escorrentía es una de las mejores y más económicas maneras de proteger la calidad de nuestra agua. Este curso presenta las mejores prácticas de manejo para prevenir la contaminación de aguas pluviales.
