Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC): Master Class Fundamentals is a comprehensive introductory online course, which will challenge participants to leverage their understanding of ESC essentials, apply industry innovations and deploy best practices in a fiscally responsible and approvable manner for successful implementation.

This course reviews fundamentals to establish and ensure a common understanding, introduces and highlights unique aspects of the best practices, and review construction, inspection, and approval approaches.

Concepts in this session will be further expanded on in Erosion and Sediment Control: Advanced Master Class, scheduled on January 25, 2023.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explore the industry resources, practitioners, regulations, and state of practice;
  • Explain common misunderstandings and misconceptions;
  • Review fundamentals of erosion & sediment control approaches and measures; and
  • Demonstrate processes and approaches to ensure best ESC outcomes.

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

  • Challenge common conditions and apply best practices to achieve compliance;
  • Apply theory, practice and cost consciousness into new designs and site plans;
  • Overcome common breakdowns in design, approval, contracting & construction; and
  • Utilize a proven, structured and reliable approach to tackle any ESC challenge.

Who Should Attend:

This session is appropriate for all ESC practitioners including: civil, environmental and geotechnical engineers, geoscientists, designers, technicians and technologists, biologists, agrologists, foresters, field staff, project managers, contractors, regulatory managers, and all those active in the ESC industry.
