Seminar

This seminar is a comprehensive one day classroom-based session.  It will detail the current state of the industry as well as recent innovations and advances.  The session will overview the theory, fundamentals and causes of erosion and sedimentation, but focus on the reasons for poor ESC practices and performances that are so prevalent today and how to achieve the results we need. We will explore some of the more common practices and review their most appropriate uses and most applicable characteristics.  We will demonstrate the processes and procedures all practitioners should employ in the preparation, implementation, and execution of erosion and sediment control plans and contracts.

This session is appropriate for civil and environmental engineers, designers, field staff, project managers, regulatory managers, and all those active in the ESC industry.  Find out how to consistently meet the governing guidelines, regulations, and bylaws, using fundamental concepts and approaches, and save yourselves and your clients the time, money, and frustration.  Learn how to do ESC right!
