Erosion and Sediment Control on Roadway Projects
Who is this for?
If you meet any one of the following criteria, this course is for you:
- You are responsible for regulatory compliance
- You design ESC plans
- You implement ESC plans
- You review ESC plans
- You are responsible for the project risk assessment, selection and design of ESC measures
- As an ESC practitioner, you might be working for a transportation organization (provincial and municipal government), a roadbuilding association, a construction company, DFO field enforcement and impact assessment, or as a road maintenance contractor.
What will I get out of this course?
This course will help you recognize the appropriate level of effort that should be applied to ESC planning and implementation for mitigating the risks of erosion. You will come out of it with an improved ability to review ESC plans and a sound theoretical basis for ESC decision-making. You will be exposed to a methodical process that ensures regulatory compliance and prevents harm to the environment, in a cost-effective manner. Through it all, you will become familiar with TAC's National Guide to Erosion and Sediment Control on Roadway Projects to know how to interpret and apply it correctly.
