Rethinking SWPPP Success: Advancing Sustainable BMPs and EDPs in Construction and Roadwork Projects

DATE and TIME: 9th September 2025, 1PM Mountain Time | 10th September 2025, 5AM AEST

Presented by: Joe Moore, Founder & Chief Brand Ambassador, Siltworm, Inc.

Level: Intermediate
Duration: 1 hour
Type of Course: Webinar - Live

Join us for a topic inspired insightful discussions during the IECA Mountain States Conference following my presentation on 'Sustainable BMPs to Achieve Results.' The dynamic dialogue highlighted the industry's growing focus on protecting waterways while addressing the sustainability of materials used on-site. Large end users and various government entities are increasingly prioritizing these considerations. However, it became evident that an additional layer of complexity is emerging—Environmental Development Plans (EDPs).

During this webinar, the speaker seeks to bridge the gap in knowledge by reframing BMPs, sustainability, and EDPs not as separate or siloed components but as an interconnected spectrum. By approaching these elements holistically, we can better align our efforts to achieve comprehensive and sustainable outcomes in erosion and sediment control.

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. Building on concepts from the ""Sustainable BMPs to Achieve Results"" session, it delves into advanced and innovative BMPs, such as biodegradable materials and permeable geotextiles, with examples showcasing their real-world applications. The session also emphasizes the role of EDPs in promoting energy-efficient design, responsible land use, and reduced environmental footprints.

By framing BMPs and EDPs as a continuous spectrum rather than distinct elements, this presentation aims to streamline compliance, optimize stormwater management, and enhance ecological outcomes. Attendees will gain actionable insights into implementing sustainable practices that not only meet regulatory requirements but also reduce operational costs and drive long-term environmental benefits. This webinar is designed to empower professionals to rethink SWPPP success and make a meaningful impact on project sustainability. Sign up today!
