The environmental series begins with the most basic element of all: water. We will discuss how to keep it clean on our jobsite, how to protect existing waterways and drain fields, dealing with stormwater runoff and required permits, what General Permit #2 requires and why, and how to obtain permit coverage. A DNR Field Officer will be on hand to offer perspective on inspections, complaints and common deficiencies.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 

• Proper clean up and regulatory reporting requirements 
• Stormwater runoff and mitigation 
• Permit requirements
