Stormwater Training
Stormwater training is an educational process that provides individuals with knowledge and skills to understand and comply with regulations related to stormwater management and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program. It helps employees, contractors, and other personnel at a facility understand the requirements of the NPDES program and to implement best management practices (BMPs) to prevent pollutants from entering stormwater runoff.
Stormwater training typically covers topics such as the effects of stormwater pollution, regulations and permitting requirements, best management practices (BMPs) for stormwater control, monitoring and sampling, and reporting requirements. Lighthouse can provide training in a variety of formats, including classroom instruction, online courses, and on-site training.
The main goal of stormwater training is to ensure that employees and contractors understand the regulations and best management practices related to stormwater management, and to create a culture of compliance within the facility. By providing regular training, facilities can ensure that employees and contractors are aware of their responsibilities, stay up-to-date with the latest regulations and best practices, and ensure compliance with the NPDES program.
Regular stormwater training is important for facilities that fall under the NPDES program, as it helps to ensure compliance with regulations, protect the environment, and avoid penalties and fines. It also helps to promote a sustainable culture within the facility and maintain a good reputation.
