Thank you for your interest in becoming a Construction General Permit Qualified SWPPP Practitioner (QSP) and/or Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD). Keish Environmental is offering the State Mandated QSP/QSD Training here in the San Francisco Bay Area!

Monday, November 27, 2023 to Wednesday, November 29, 2023

Classes run from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm each day, at the following location:

The course includes:

  • Construction General Permit (CGP), including updated content detailing the recent updates that went into effect in September
  • Training Notes
  • A continental breakfast served on-site each day

A brief  QSP/QSD course synopsis:

At the Qualified Stormwater Practitioner (QSP) 2-day class, attendees will learn about the construction regulatory environment, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits, and Clean Water Act requirements that the Construction General Permit for Stormwater (CGP) stems from. They will engage in interactive modules that address erosion processes and sediment control theory and practice – with real-word examples highlighting jobsites with issues and what causes them. Next, the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) implementation module focuses on how SWPPPs give QSPs the tools to do something about these common project issues. The final modules of the 2-day QSP course focus on SWPPP monitoring and reporting, with hands on examples of how to observe and document compliance at a construction site as required by the CGP.

The 3rd day of the course is for already-certified QSPs who want to become Qualified Stormwater Developers (QSDs) and goes into more detail and depth on what’s required to prepare a SWPPP, the minimum elements, mandatory Best Management Practices (BMPs), calculation of project Risk Level/Type and how it affects the selected BMPs. After highlighting key elements needed for successful project planning, the course includes interactive activities to put to use the materials learned throughout the course. Finally, attendees will learn what’s necessary for project stabilization and closeout under the CGP at the conclusion of a job.

These courses will highlight difficult stormwater BMP implementation issues and practical solutions!
