The Five Pillars of Stormwater Management is a fundamental approach to managing construction stormwater that includes managing communication, managing work, managing water, managing erosion, and managing sediment. The Five Pillars concept categorizes and prioritizes application of control measures and practices in order of effectiveness and economy.

Back by popular demand, this online education series is part of IECA's mission to help grow the industry by promoting innovative research, products and technology that meet industry needs through more sustainable approaches. Join us as we explore the hydrologic changes that take place when an 80-acre sub-basin of a 1.6 sq. mi. rural watershed is developed with conventional detention vs automated control and effective continuous TSS measurements. In part two of the series, we will dive into a low salt design future and using recycled materials to prevent stormwater pollution.

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or new to your role, the nuances of permitting for industrial stormwater programs can be complex and ever-shifting. This webinar—the first of a two-part industrial stormwater webinar series—will discuss the applicability of the multi-sector general permit (MSGP) for authorizing the discharge of stormwater associated with industrial activity. Julie will review which industrial operations require stormwater permit coverage, the types of discharges that can be authorized, and the process for developing a SWPPP and obtaining permit coverage. So, you have your industrial stormwater general permit authorization and SWPPP in hand. Now what? This webinar—the second in a two-part series–will discuss the necessary steps to follow after your industrial facility has received coverage under an industrial stormwater general permit. Nathan will present an overview of essential recordkeeping, inspection, monitoring and reporting requirements commonly found within industrial stormwater general permits

Select content from the IECA 2023 Annual Conference is now available on demand. Annual Conference education featured timely content presented by knowledgeable experts that provides real world solutions to industry problems.

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.

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.

Join the International Erosion Control Association (IECA) for Get Erosion and Sediment Control to Work for You: Saving Time and Money While Protecting the Environment. This series will focus on erosion control from the beginning. First take a step back to the basics of erosion control with a look at the importance of controlling erosion on site. Then we will dive into the importance of planning and investing up front on erosion control. We will look at implementing the plans and the importance of flexibility when plans change. Finally, we will look at some real-life storm event case studies and ways to be storm ready in your projects.

Join the International Erosion Control Association (IECA) for Protecting Soil & Water Resources through Proactive Stormwater Compliance where we will focus on proactive communication and working together to achieve environmental compliance.

Join the International Erosion Control Association (IECA) for The Science of Pollution Avoidance where we will focus on protecting our soil and water resources applying avoidance and mitigation approaches from around the world.

Join the International Erosion Control Association (IECA) for The Practical Side of Implementing Stormwater Management where we will focus on the role of the contractor in the implementation of stormwater management. This three-part series will examine the why in stormwater management, what to look for in the field before the inspector arrives, alternatives to the basics, and achieving stabilization early on a project site.

Join the International Erosion Control Association (IECA) for the Water Management and Soil Protection in Mining where we will explore some of the environmental challenges of mining. This three-part series will examine how we can invest in environmental management in mining. The series will close with a panel discussion between industry leaders. This series will feature three webinars and a panel discussion.
