Contruction Site BPMs: What Works
DATE and TIME: 20th October 2025, 1PM Mountain Time | 21st October 2025, 6AM AEDT
Presented by: Kevin Boesch, SWCA Environmental Consultants, Compliance Senior Project Manager - Stormwater
Level: Intermediate
Duration: 1 hour
Type of Course: Webinar - Live
This is a unique insight into CWA permitting and Best Management Practices (BMPs)/Stormwater Control Measures (CMs) which are used to meet environmental regulations for the construction industry. It is necessary to use correct BMPs/CMs for the correct application, in the correct location, for the correct place, and to be installed correctly. Meeting each of these four critical elements will save time, money, effort rework, damage, and help to reduce compliance headaches. The 5th element is the most important, non-structural controls. Often overlooked and frequently misunderstood, these controls are the largest factor in reduction of costs.
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. This presentation explores the approach of considering project lifespan instead of initial costs. This approach helps to address realistic estimations for maintenance, repairs, replacement, servicing, and ultimately the removal of products and implements. Early project understanding about realistic costs for inspection by a professional or even having an adequate SWPPP designed is often overlooked. Has the project purchased BMPs/CMs that do not protect from the project’s pollutant sources? Are installation requirements per project specifications, jurisdictional, or manufacture’s recommendation? Are the products we purchased even installed in the correct location?
Learning Objective:
Upon completion, participants will understand proper planning, costs consideration, reduction in rework and out of budget expenses.

He serves as an independent stormwater inspector for Construction General Permits (CGPs) compliance in 10 states, including Department of Transportation (DOT), Municipal, Solar, Transmission, Water Infrastructure, Erosion Control protection and restoration. He creates and implements contractors Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) and Project Special Provisions.
Kevin is responsible for complex erosion and sediment control site design and restoration and has served as a trial expert witness in this field. Kevin has served contractors, Engineers, Environmental Coordinators, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), National Forest Service (NFS), National Park service (NPS), Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) projects as a resource correcting erosion and sediment control issues.
Kevin performs onsite contractor training sessions educating to the CGP to meet BLM, BOR, NFS, NPS guidelines, and Corps of Engineers regulations for contractors. Additional work includes guidance of stormwater erosion control components installation and quality inspections. He has conducted stormwater training, inspections, Best Management Practice (BMP)/Control Measure installation oversight, and environmental protection administration for contractors during the construction of large linear projects to bring those projects’ stormwater documents and work activities into compliance with state departments of environmental quality CGP requirements. Kevin has also been responsible for site management for pre-construction activities on impaired waters, sensitive waters, dewatering projects, water supply projects, and construction project permitting.
He was a primary author of the Maricopa County, Arizona Dust Abatement Handbook and Field Guide and re-wrote the ADOT Erosion Control Manual for Highway Design and Construction, teaches the ADOT/AGC Erosion Control Coordinator (ECC) course, the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT)Water Pollution Control Manager (WPCM) course, and is the author of the ADOT SWPPP Template and Stormwater Monitoring Sampling and Analysis Plan Template. Kevin has just recently updated the Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) Stormwater Compliance Requirements &Recommended Procedures for Construction & Maintenance Activities manual, and the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) Temporary Erosion Control Management Best Management Practices manual.
