Staff Reports

Two opportunities for Clear Water Contractor training are being offered on March 13 and March 27. Several development related organizations have joined together to provide training for regional contractors on the laws and best practices pertaining to sediment, erosion, and stormwater control. Agency representatives from the NC Division of Water Quality, Army Corps of Engineers, and NC Geological Survey will share information on practices and tools to help address land stabilization and maintaining water quality.

Sediment, erosion, and stormwater controls and regulations as well as a heightened awareness among consumers has created a demand for well-informed contractors, graders, heavy equipment operators, and site managers.  Contractors who have completed the Clear Water Contractor Training Program are awarded a certificate of recognition. A list and photos of those completing the training, online resources for contractors, and marketing materials such as a television commercial are also available at www.clearwatercontractors.org.
