Working in Waterways
Al Stafford - Clean Water Compliance Unit Manager, Colorado Water Quality Control Division
Level: Intermediate
Duration: 1 hour
Type of Course: Webinar - On Demand
Construction work within waterways can be one of the most challenging types of projects to remain in compliance with various permits and regulations. There may be overlapping and fluctuating permit boundaries, confined workspaces, and complex treatment systems. However, by understanding the different types of permits and how to comply with them, proactive compliance on these challenging projects is achievable!
This presentation will walk through the various types of permits required, and how those permits relate to each other in the field. We will then discuss the different types of documentation required for each permit, and how these documented plans are implemented in the field to achieve proactive compliance through final stabilization. Throughout the presentation, we will look at examples of various types of work in waterways, both exemplary and in need of corrective action.
Learning Outcomes:
- List the types of permits required when constructing in waterways.
- Determine how to comply with permit requirements when constructing in waterways.
- Demonstrate proactive over reactive compliance when constructing in waterways.
