EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL (E&SC) CERTIFICATION BACKGROUND

Coastal Georgia RC&D will be offering Erosion and Sedimentation Control Certification Courses in cooperation the Coastal Soil & Water Conservation (S&WC) District and the Georgia S&WC Commission.

The passage of House Bill 285 brings with it a new Erosion and Sedimentation Control Program and charges the Georgia S&WC Commission with managing and administering the new education and certification process. Anyone involved in land development, design, review, permitting, construction, monitoring, inspection, or any land-disturbing activity in Georgia must meet these new education requirements and be certified by the Georgia S&WC Commission. It is estimated that 26,000 people will have to be certified by December 31, 2006. For more information see the link below for rules and regulations.
