While erosion is a natural process, it is accelerated by construction activities. Each year, many acres of land in North Dakota are exposed during the course of construction and land development activities. Without properly installed protective practices before, during, and after construction, the land is left open for erosion and sediment runoff. Preventing sediment-laden runoff not only protects our rivers, lakes and streams, but it also promotes clean water and environmental stewardship.
The NDDOT Erosion and Sediment Control Construction course serves to educate and inform construction personnel on the regulations, specifications, erosion and sediment control measures, and SWPPP development that apply to and best serve construction personnel in effectively managing assigned construction projects. Topics include:
The primary audience for this course consists of public and private roadway construction management and inspection personnel, contractors responsible for installing erosion & sediment devices and developing/implementing SWPPPs, and local government personnel.
The NDDOT will be providing an Introduction to Erosion & Sediment Control Construction Certification Training across the state. The NDDOT Erosion and Sediment Control Construction course serves to educate and inform construction personnel on the regulations, specifications, erosion and sediment control measures, and SWPPP development that apply to and best serve construction personnel in effectively managing assigned construction projects. This four year certification will be required of all Project Engineers, Prime Contractor Erosion Control Supervisors, and Erosion Control Subcontractor Supervisors as of the 2018 Construction Season.
Due to the North Dakota specific nature of this training, there will not be any reciprocity with any other state or national erosion control certification. To earn certification, participants MUST attend the whole class and pass a written examination at the end of the course. Any absence from the course will be grounds for denial of certification.
