This presentation focuses on how to meet regulations at a National and State level and how that applies to the construction contractor’s understanding of regulatory compliance.

An ESC specialist requires knowledge in areas other than ESC to provide the best advice. But it is often challenging to know what knowledge to attain and how. Janine shall delve into the other areas of knowledge essential for an ESC specialist. Attendees can glean which areas they are deficient in and create an individual professional and personal development plan to become a fully rounded ESC specialist, and where to source reliable and unbiased factual information.

This presentation explores the integration of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and Environmental Development Plans (EDPs) to achieve greater erosion and sediment control with sustainability in mind in construction and roadwork.

A new way of looking at soil to enhance microbial health and activity in disturbed soils. This webinar will feature a case study with looking at soil analysis to show and validate how the system builds soil health using a specific suite of beneficial microbes with non-leaching mineral fertiliser. The webinar will also demonstrate how the system reduces erosion by building soil carbon and how the microbes use glomalin and calcium to stabilise dispersive soils.

This webinar offers essential guidance on California’s 2022 Construction General Permit (CGP), with a focus on the critical transition deadline of September 1,2025. Tailored for Qualified SWPPP Practitioners (QSPs), it breaks down key regulatory updates, inspection protocols, and reporting responsibilities under thenew permit. Attendees will gain actionable strategies for managing active projects through the transition, including Notice of Termination procedures andlong-term maintenance obligations. The session equips stormwater professionals with the tools to confidently navigate compliance challenges and reduce the risk of violations. Whether you're overseeing current construction or planning ahead, this presentation is a must for staying ahead of regulatory shifts.

With the transition deadline of September 1st coming up, there are a lot of questions right now about moving to California’s new Construction GeneralPermit. Storm water professionals are wondering what the new requirements mean for their projects, especially when it comes to new responsibilities,document requirements, and the overall project maintenance. The expiration of the old permit brings changes that can be confusing, and it’s important tounderstand how these updates will affect compliance strategies and storm water management. The QSD webinar will provide essential training for Qualified SWPPP Developers, addressing key responsibilities and regulatory requirements associated with SWPPP development and compliance. As the New Construction General Permit (CGP) transition will be fully implemented by September, this webinar offers timely and relevant content to prepare professionals for updated permit conditions.

The primary objective of this class is to provide permit holders, project managers, and their estimators with a clear understanding of the 2022 CA CGP requirements and the potential cost impacts of compliance. An informed management team will ensure that the cost of compliance is controlled to better ensure cost effective compliance with storm water permit requirements.

This session will explore the practical benefits and technical details of small-footprint, mobile inclined-plate settling tanks (Lamella Clarifiers) in major earthworks projects across New Zealand. We'll address the challenges posed by NZ's remote and hilly terrain, and demonstrate how these tanks can enhance time, cost, performance and reporting efficiency during rain events, especially when discharging to sensitive natural waterways. Using the post-cyclone Gabrielle recovery and repair of Brynderwyn Hill on SH1 (NZ's main highway) as a case study, we'll fill knowledge gaps regarding the mobility, performance, and deployment of these tanks in adverse weather conditions.

Coastal erosion poses a significant threat to the stability of our shorelines, impacting ecosystems, communities, and economies worldwide. Traditional approaches to combating erosion often involve hard infrastructure such as seawalls and revetments, which can have detrimental effects on coastal ecosystems and fail to address the root causes of erosion. In this webinar, we will explore alternative, ecologically friendly solutions for mitigating coastal erosion.

As population sizes increase in urban areas, more organizations are required to develop MS4 SWMP plans. Advanced preparation could help organizations highlight potential budgetary, personnel, equipment, and monitoring needs as well as the need to learn from other organizations. With proper planning, MS4s can implement innovative and cost-saving solutions.

Historically limited by scalability and reliability issues, chitosan-based biocoagulants are now a robust solution, made possible through advanced formulations and rigorous U.S. based manufacturing standards. With the highest rating under the EPA's Safer Choice certification, chitosan presents a non-toxic, highly effective option that consistently performs in diverse stormwater systems, providing a green pathway to reduce pollutants and protect aquatic ecosystems. This interactive presentation will dive deep into a case study involving a meat packaging facility in Georgia where stormwater is also being treated int he same system. Chitosan-based biocoagulants replaced aluminum and caustic chemicals in their onsite activated sludge wastewater treatment facility.

Detention is an extremely important factor in flood management, it is also expensive, yet we use flow control technology that is hundreds of years old to size and manage these systems. The reason? Designers are not aware that there are viable alternatives that are easy to use and very effective at optimizing detention systems. This presentation will highlight alternative flow controls that employ vortex flow control system and case study projects that have gained significant benefits from the use of these advanced passive controls, including significant cost reductions.

Join us to learn about flaws with existing detention pond design methodology and how the concept of utilizing filtration with ponds can improve pond function. This new concept can provide higher treatment rate of more of the annual rainfall and do so with a smaller pond. Sound too good to be true? Its not and we have testing to prove it!

Recent wildfires in Southern California have necessitated a rapid post-fire response to address hazards related to debris flows, flooding, and erosion. This webinar will provide an overview of post-fire hazards and mitigation measures that can be implemented to reduce risk in a post-fire setting.

Traditional stormwater inspections are often time-consuming and inefficient, leading to compliance risks, costly delays, and regulatory penalties. This session will explore how AI and automation can streamline compliance workflows, reducing errors and improving efficiency. Stormwater and erosion control expert Jessica Acosta will break down the challenges of manual inspections and introduce AI-driven solutions designed to enhance accuracy and simplify compliance. Attendees will gain actionable insights on integrating digital tools into their existing workflows, ensuring smoother operations and regulatory adherence.
