Overview

This course is specifically designed for Ohio-licensed engineers to qualify as a "timed and monitored" online course. The course contains an automatic timer that prevents the user from accessing the quiz and earning a certificate of completion until the minimum amount of study time has been met. This achieves the Ohio Board's intent that an online course should be "paced" by the provider. For more information, please see the Ohio state requirements. This course may also be accepted in other states (see the "Board Acceptance" tab above). However, if you are not licensed in Ohio, it is suggested that you purchase the self-paced version of the course.

In Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control , you'll learn ...

How to develop and implement controls designed to prevent stormwater runoff at construction sites
Effective methods of erosion control, such as stabilizing exposed soils and protecting steep slopes and waterways
How to control sediment using perimeter controls, trapping devices, and inlet protection
Best management practices (BMPs) for construction site wastes, spill prevention, and storage

Overview

To meet the Ohio Board's intent that online courses be "paced" by the provider, a timer will be used to record your study time. You will be unable to access the quiz until the required study time of 300 minutes has been met.

Polluted stormwater runoff is a leading cause of impairment to U.S. water bodies which do not meet water quality standards. Over land or via storm sewer systems, polluted runoff is discharged, often untreated, directly into local water bodies. When left uncontrolled, this water pollution can result in the destruction of fish, wildlife, and aquatic life habitats; a loss in aesthetic value; and threats to public health due to contaminated food, drinking water supplies, and recreational waterways.

This course covers methods to control surface runoff, sedimentation, and soil erosion, both during and after construction. Although the focus is on stormwater runoff control during construction, the lessons learned from this course can be applied to any project. For each stormwater control measure, the course discusses the applicability of the measure, siting and design considerations, limitations, effectiveness, and maintenance considerations.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Select grading, diversion, vegetation, entrance-stabilization, check-dam, berm, channel, and riprap controls for representative construction-site conditions.
Apply soil-stabilization, slope-protection, stream-crossing, vegetated-buffer, and sequencing practices to reduce erosion and runoff impacts.
Design conceptual perimeter, basin, inlet, filter, trap, and sediment-control measures to limit off-site sediment transport.
Develop basic waste, dust, spill-prevention, and pollution-control measures for a construction-site stormwater plan.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 40 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
