Certified Stormwater Inspector - Permit Shield
The recent Supreme Court (SCOTUS) decision to require NPDES permits for indirect discharges including ground water and surface water can impact your organization. You may not discharge pollutants to navigable water without a permit. On 4/23/2020 SCOTUS expanded the requirement for discharges through ground water or across land surface if the discharge is the “functional equivalent of a direct discharge.”
This online webinar course will help you gain an in-depth understanding of the need for a new permit shield, how to determine your risk of enforcement or a citizen suit, and the steps to minimize your exposure to litigation. The Court provided factors to determine if a permit is required for discharges through ground water and surface water discharges. The shield we present is primarily a permit application for indirect discharges, not necessarily the traditional permit shield with currently issued permits. On Day One of class, we identify the problem; on Day Two we offer solutions. Examples (not inclusive): Construction drag-outs and washouts, Industrial ash ponds, Commercial radiator shops, Municipal retention ponds, Residential swimming pool discharges, Agricultural fertilizer run-off, POTW sludge to farms.
Attendees receive a Certificate of Participation and .6 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) from the National Stormwater Center.
