Course Description
Overview
This course provides an integrated approach to manage the solids generated in urban wet weather flows, both on the land surface and in drainage sewer systems. Threats to the quality of receiving waters by discharges from urban-storm-generated WWF, including combined sewer overflow and polluted runoff from urban streets, are well known. During many storm events, large volumes of stormwater are drained via street inlets into the urban sewer system. The storm runoff washes off street dust-and-dirt and pollutants from catchment surfaces into the sewer system.
In this course the student will learn about sources of sewer sediment and the impact of those sediments, methodology for quantifying sediment-solids in sewer systems and sediment control methods.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained in the Sewer Sediment and Control - A Management Practices Reference Guide, EPA/600/R-04/059 - January 2004.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty-five (25) questions at the end of this course to earn PDH credits.
Specific Knowledge or Skill Attained
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
State Board Acceptance
This course can be used by professional engineers to fulfill PDH requirements mandated by state and provincial licensing boards. Decatur Professional Development is an approved provider of continuing education in all states that pre-approve course providers. In all other states that mandate continuing education for engineers, it is the individual engineer's responsibility to determine the suitability of activities for PDH credit. The state boards typically accept online* courses that cover technical, managerial** or ethical content and which are relevant to the practice of engineering. The course must have a clear purpose or objective with a content that will maintain, improve or expand the skills and knowledge of the licensee's field of practice. For questions about your mandatory PDH requirements, visit the website of your state licensing board.
*Online courses are accepted by all state licensing boards that mandate continuing education. Other than New York (which limits online courses to 18 PDH) and Iowa (which limits online courses to 6 PDH), there are no limits placed by other states on the number of hours that can be earned through online continuing education. Consult with your state licensing board if you have any questions about the acceptability of online courses.
**The New York State Board of Engineers does not accept general office management courses, but will accept project management courses that are offered by an approved provider and that are technical in nature and contribute to the engineer's professional practice.
