General Information

Summary:	This course thoroughly examines erosion and sediment (E&S) pollution control concepts and design procedures as they apply to PennDOT construction projects. The course provides the designer/engineer with the guidance and direction to evaluate the Department's E&S design options by addressing a broad range of issues related to design. The PennDOT Drainage Manual, PA DEP’s E&S Manual, and other documents relevant to E&S will be highlighted. The recent changes to 25 Pa. Code 102 and how they affect PennDOT plans will also be discussed.
Learning Outcomes:	Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to: 1. Understand the background, theory, and application of common erosion control concepts. 2. Identify applicable PA Code, Title 25, Chapter 102 regulations and the roles of PA DEP, county conservation districts, and municipalities with regard to E&S. 3. Design effective erosion stabilization measures, including seed and mulch specifications, channel lining, outlet protection, etc. 4. Design effective sediment control measures, including compost filter socks, sediment traps and basins, inlet protection, etc. 5. Design effective in-stream E&S measures, including causeways, cofferdams, stream diversion, etc. 6. Implement effective sequencing of E&S controls, and develop a best management practice maintenance schedule per NPDES guidelines. 7. Communicate a well-designed E&S plan through effective drawings and narratives that conform to PennDOT standards and Chapter 102 requirements.
Prerequisites:	An attendee must have an understanding of basic engineering concepts.
Target Audience:	PennDOT, consultant, conservation district, and regulatory agency designers and engineers who are responsible for developing or reviewing E&S plans. The course is suitable for entry-level personnel and is a valuable refresher course for those with previous E&S design experience. New information related to E&S design and plan preparation will be presented.

Special Materials:	A calculator is needed for this course.
Final Exam:	Yes
