Erosion and Sediment Control

This certification program was designed for engineering technicians engaged in all phases of erosion and sediment control work. Areas covered include knowledge of soils, the erosion process, small watershed hydrology, hydraulics of basic water control structures, sedimentation process, principles of erosion and sediment control, construction practices, construction inspection, and field investigation reports.

Erosion and Sediment Control comprises four levels of certification. Level I is designed for trainees and entry-level technicians who perform limited job tasks under frequent supervision, Level II is for technicians who perform routine tasks under general daily supervision, Level III is for intermediate-level technicians who, under little or no daily supervision, work with standards, plans, specifications, and instructions, and Level IV is for independent, senior-level technicians whose work includes supervising others. Certification at Levels II, III, and IV does not require prior certification at the lower level, but it does require meeting the certification requirements of the lower levels.
