Course Description
In this Stormwater Pollution Prevention and Compliance course, you’ll understand how stormwater runoff forms and why it creates pollution risks for workplaces and communities. We’ll also examine prevention practices and compliance requirements that keep pollutants out of natural waterways. The lessons show how environmental protection depends on daily actions and teamwork across every role. To help you connect these concepts to your daily work, we’ll move from understanding runoff to applying prevention and compliance practices step by step.
We’ll explore pollution prevention methods, demonstrating how operational and structural controls reduce contamination. You’ll build stronger environmental awareness and develop the skills to maintain site compliance. We’ll also address recordkeeping, employee training, and shared responsibility to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of stormwater management and its role in sustainable operations. By the end of this course, you’ll know how to apply stormwater control measures that maintain compliance and protect water quality.
