Assess a construction site to determine proper stormwater compliance and provide assistance and leadership to construction workers as how to maintain stomwater compliance throughout a project’s entirety. Understand the teamwork and communication necessary between owner, operators and SWPPP designer so the site stays in compliance throughout the construction project.

Assessment:

Learners are required to complete a 25 question exam after each of the six (6) course sections.  Learners must pass the exams with a 75% or greater over a 90 minute timeframe.  Learners have an unlimited amount of attempts to pass exams.  After a failed attempt, new randomized exams are generated from a pool of questions from that course section.
