This class is only taught by a certified Washington DOT instructor. Procedures will be presented for the design and implementation of Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control plans (TESC). Practical examples, WSDOT case studies, and hands-on field work will be utilized to stress the proper installation, maintenance, inspection, and removal of temporary erosion and sediment control Best Management Practices (BMPs).

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) understand and implement the TESC; (2) direct the proper installation, inspection, maintenance, and removal of temporary erosion and sediment control Best Management Practices (BMPs).

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) understand and implement the TESC; (2) direct the proper installation, inspection, maintenance, and removal of erosion and sediment control BMPs; (3) communicate effectively with WSDOT construction personnel, sub-contractors, grading inspectors, and resource agency personnel regarding erosion and sediment control; and (4) work in partnership with the above personnel to suggest changes and additions to TESC plans to enhance compliance with WSDOT erosion and sediment control requirements.
