Training Overview

Capital improvement (CIP) and linear projects can present unique challenges in stormwater compliance for a municipal community. This training taught by Jennifer Keyes of Wright Water is designed for municipal staff and their contractors to ensure an understanding of effective BMPs and documentation as required by the Colorado Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activities Permit. Training will emphasize the importance of documentation on CIP projects and review the requirements and portions of the Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) that are updated by contractors and/or municipal staff. The training will also review proper documentation associated with the routine and post-precipitation event inspections and roles and responsibilities of the municipal inspector and contractor.
