COURSE TITLE: Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans for NPDES Construction Sites
COURSE NO: C05-009
COURSE PROVIDER: Cory Horton, P.E.
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans for NPDES Construction Sites
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course introduces the reader to the development of construction site Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP). A SWPPP is required for coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Construction Site General Permit.

 

Development inevitably causes some degree of disturbance and compaction of the soil, the loss of vegetation density, impacts to natural habitats and the creation of impervious surfaces.  All too often ordinances requirements result in a site layout that does not take into consideration the most valuable aspects of a site.  Water quality, habitat, and critical ecological features can be lost if sites are fit to a development, rather than fitting a development to a site.

 

The most critical requirement of the NPDES permit is the preparation and implementation of a SWPPP. The NPDES program has specific requirements for items that must be addressed in a SWPPP. Understanding the requirements for the creation and implementation of a SWPPP is essential to staying in compliance with the law. The SWPPP serves many functions: NPDES permit conditions require it, it provides documentation of compliance, and ultimately if properly designed and implemented it provides the direction to reduce water quality impacts.

 

This 5 PDH online course is applicable to practicing engineers, contractors, developers, regulators, and all other personnel involved with construction sites.

Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • When and why you need a SWPPP
  • What elements are required in a SWPPP

COURSE TITLE: Storm Water Pollution Prevention - Materials Management
COURSE NO: C02-005
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Storm Water Pollution Prevention - Materials Management
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course presents EPA's stormwater best management practice for the protection of wetlands and aquatic ecosystems and conservation of water.

 

Municipal operations can adversely affect the water quality system due to pollutant runoff from various activities such as park and open space maintenance, fleet and building maintenance, new construction and land disturbances, and storm water system maintenance.

 

EPA recognizes that storm water pollution resulting from municipal activities can be prevented or reduced by implementing an effective storm water operations and maintenance program. Therefore the EPA published the Storm Water Phase II Rule on December 8, 1999, that describes a menu of Best Management Practices (BMP). “Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations” is one of the Best Management Practices that requires operators of small MS4s in urbanized areas to implement a storm water management program for the protection of wetlands and aquatic ecosystems, improved quality of receiving water bodies, conservation of water resources, flood control, and protection of public health.

 

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to municipality owners and/ or operators, construction contractors/workers, site developers, engineers, managers, and all other personnel involved in the implementation of good housekeeping practices (materials management) for municipal operations.

Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Types and methods of materials management and good housekeeping
  • Applicability
  • Siting and design criteria
  • Maintenance and cost considerations
  • Effectiveness and limitations
Course Document

In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review EPA’s Best Management Practice relating to the “Materials Management” section of the “Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations” provided below. This section of the BMP addresses the following:

COURSE TITLE: Developing Your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
COURSE NO: C04-057
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Developing Your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH offers steps for planning how to prevent and contain stormwater pollution. It offers a step by step guide on what should be included in the plan, as well as helpful tips for how the plan can be maintained, adhered to, and exceeded in order to ensure a high level of quality.

 

Stormwater runoff is water from rain or snowmelt that does not immediately infiltrate into the ground and flows over or through natural or man-made storage or conveyance systems. When undeveloped areas are converted to land uses with impervious surfaces such as buildings, parking lots, and roads, the natural hydrology of the land is altered and can result in increased surface runoff rates, volumes, and pollutant loads.

 

This course provides useful tips about maintaining a SWPPP, as well as examples of and foresight into what can go wrong with various different kinds of materials which are commonly found at industrial sites. This includes solids, liquids, and waste. It also provides useful information on how to effectively and efficiently handle stormwater discharge in the event that control measures fail, and information on monitoring pollutants in stormwater discharge.

 

This 4 PDH online course is applicable to industrial, civil, environmental, and sustainability engineers as well as others interested in gaining a basic understanding about developing a stormwater pollution prevention plan.
Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Understanding what causes stormwater pollution and its effects on the environment

COURSE TITLE: Hydraulic Design of Storm Sewers Using Excel
COURSE NO: C04-014
Hydraulic Design of Storm Sewers Using Excel
Course Highlights

This online enineering PDH course explains how to derive the pipe diameter and slope for each length of storm sewer and the depth to the pipe bottom at each manhole.The overall procedure and each step will be presented and discussed.  Example calculations for a single length of storm sewer between two manholes will be performed and an example of calculations between successive manholes will be done using Excel.

 

Storm sewers are widely used to carry away runoff from storms, primarily in urban areas.  The hydraulic design begins after the locations of the manholes for the system have been determined. Between each pair of manholes the storm sewer will have a constant slope and diameter. The hydraulic design process results in determination of an appropriate diameter and slope for each length of storm sewer and determines the depth of the bottom of the pipe at each manhole.

 

This 4 PDH online course is intended for hydrologists, civil engineers, hydraulic engineers, highway engineers and environmental engineers. After completing this course, you will be able to carry out hydraulic design of storm sewers to determine diameter, slope and depth of invert at each manhole for the length of storm sewer between two successive manholes.  After completing this course, you will also be able to set up an Excel program to carry out hydraulic design for successive lengths of storm sewer.

Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Be able to determine the value for runoff coefficient for a drainage area with known land use, SCS soil group, and approximate surface slope.
  • Be able to find the rainfall intensity for specified storm duration and return period at a specified location if given an I-D-F table or graph for that location.
  • Be able to estimate the overland flow travel time for a drainage area using the Manning Kinetic Equation.
  • Be able to estimate channel flow travel time using Manning's Open Channel Flow Equation.
  • Be able to estimate peak runoff rate from a drainage area using the Rational Method.
  • Be able to use Method I and Method II as outlined in this course to calculate design diameter and slope for a length of storm sewer between two successive manholes.
  • Be able to determine the velocity and flow rate in a circular pipe flowing partially full if enough information is available to calculate the full pipe velocity and flow rate.
  • Be able to put together the above skills to carry out the overall hydraulic design of a length of storm sewer between two successive manholes.
  • Be able to use Excel to make storm sewer hydraulic design calculations for lengths of storm sewer between successive manholes.
