The Certified Designer of Sediment and Erosion Control (CDSEC) is a core certification program of Ecopliant Environmental, Inc. This intermediate to advanced level technical program provides qualified designers and reviewers with a professional review of methods that minimize sediment discharges from construction sites.

Development of effective sediment and erosion control plans must occur in a professional manner. Expert instructors will conduct a comprehensive review of qualified designers and reviewers that include the following:

· What is expected for development and/or review for effective sediment and erosion control drawings to implement on construction sites,

· Evaluation of computer models (e.g., RUSLE2 and MULSE) that estimate average annual erosion rates and sediment yields,

· Concepts and information about limitations of commonly found best management practices on construction sites that are to remove suspended particles from runoff waters and/or wind,

· An assessment of structural and non-structural erosion control methods that minimizes the generation of sediment during rainfall and/or wind events, and

· Development of effective sediment and erosion control drawings by applying technical knowledge, communication, and common sense.

Following the nine-hour intermediate to advance level technical review, approved applicants can sit for the CDSEC Full certification examination on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, from 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM.
