Welcome! The Trained Individual Contractor Certification Program provides guidance and training those responsible for the management of construction projects requiring a Construction Stormwater General Permit (CSGP), also known as a “Trained Individual”. The focus is on the implementation of construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) through the proper installation, maintenance, and inspection of erosion, sediment, and other pollution controls, also known as construction-phase best management practices (BMPs). The program is designed to provide contractors with the knowledge to better manage their Rule 5 (CSGP) construction sites and stay in compliance with local stormwater ordinances.
