This webinar presents the various needs for grade control measures, the types of grade control structures, how these structures dissipate the water’s energy, their pros and cons, and also presents “low head” grade control structures often used in stream restoration projects.

This presentation gives an understanding of what the Infrastructure Sustainability Council is, what makes up the ISC scoring and how the ESC industry can be involved and contribute to increased sustainability practices within their business, services and products.

This presentation will be an overview of US EPA’s Trash Free Waters (TFW) program, including program goals, TFW’s role in helping implement provisions in the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act of 2020, and a description of recently completed or active program projects.

This webinar will look at research into waste wool and hemp fiber in erosion and sediment control products. Research and innovation continue to push the industry forward, join us as we learn about research into the use of these materials in erosion and sediment control products.

This presentation will cover the current status of flocculant usage in the U.S. for construction stormwater treatment and recap research findings on optimum dosage delivery requirements and residual concentration detection methods.​

In this webinar, presented by Storm Water Solutions and the International Erosion Control Association (IECA), participants will gain an understanding of how different modes of sediment control affect the discharge commitments and role of related weather impacts. Additionally, recognize how sediment control BMPs may fail to deliver permit requirements unless upgraded and amended as the work changes, and finally, integrate staged sediment control based on function into the work.

Healthy soil is the foundation of all civilizations. One of the most diverse habitats on earth—and one of the planet’s largest reservoirs of carbon—healthy soil is crucial for clean and abundant water supplies, and a stable climate. As Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said, “The nation that destroys its soil, destroys itself.” This webinar series looks at innovative ways to build soil health for long term sustainability.

This course provides comprehensive stormwater compliance & inspection training for contractors involved in construction site stormwater management. The course is designed to introduce practitioners to the background and concepts required to properly implement stormwater pollution prevention plans and manage stormwater on construction sites. Modules provide a details of regulatory requirements, basic construction stormwater management approaches, and principles of various practices used during construction to manage runoff, erosion, and sediment.

Agriculture is said to be one of the larger sources of non-point source pollution with sediment being the main issue. Please join us in the eHub series “Erosion and Sediment Control in Agriculture” where we will hear from Dr Hawkins, University of Georgia and Dr Wells, US Department of Agriculture. Both presenters have extensive knowledge and experience in this area.

Silt fences, silt fences everywhere you look; up the hill, down the hill, on top of the hill, over the hill, on flat surfaces, and in ditches. Silt fence is a petrochemical-based material that, while strong and cheap, is not recyclable, generally not reused, mostly gets landfilled and adds microplastics to the environment. In addition, it is over designed, over specified, and over-used. This presentation will discuss when to use silt fence and provide alternative best management practices (BMPs) to use when silt fence is not the right choice. Examples will be provided for BMPs to use on impervious surfaces, in and around wetlands and sensitive areas, and on flat projects.

How drones can be utilised to capture environmental data and site current conditions. This allows better project design and stakeholder engagement for better project outcomes.

Join us for this 2 part series looking at the theory of sediment basin design and the coagulation and flocculation process relating to the treatment of dirty water. This is a mini online version of the popular IECA Australasia Chapter "Get Flocced" workshops.

The Australasian Chapter of the International Erosion Control Association would like to invite you to this special event celebrating Women in the ERSED profession. We will hear from 4 women involved in the erosion and sediment control industry in Australia. The aim of the event is to begin the development of support networks in Australia, New Zealand and globally for women in the industry. This will be an interactive event and we encourage you all to bring your questions and ideas as to how we can develop this group.
