Stormwater Training
Since 1999, the HBAA has been the leader in providing QCI (Qualified Credentialed Inspector) training in Alabama. The course, a joint effort between the HBAA and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), provides tools and strategies to help achieve and maintain compliance with the stormwater permit on all construction sites. The course was first developed to help builders and developers comply with ADEM rules. It has expanded to include linear (gas, water, power, etc.) and roadway construction. Participants are educated in construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) which are required to meet water quality objectives. We help you save money and time by avoiding ADEM/EPA/Local enforcement actions and associated costs - Time is Money!!
Certification will give you the opportunity to do your own monthly inspections for the NPDES permit, rather than hire engineers or consultants to do it. As a result, if you go through the course and attain certification, you can expect to save thousands of dollars over the year.
Engineers with CH2M Hill, professionals in the area of erosion and sediment control who are ADEM approved, will teach the course.
Upon completion of the course and certification, participants will be armed with the knowledge to monitor, enhance and repair BMPs, perform inspections under ADEM NPDES permit and ultimately save money.
