2026 NY SW RTC Series: Design and Inspection of Erosion and Sediment Control Practices

An Erosion and Sediment Control Plan is a required element of all construction projects needing stormwater permit coverage in New York. Following the guidance provided in New York State’s 2016 “Blue Book”, this class reviews the various techniques for planning, runoff management, soil stabilization, and sedimentation control that serve to minimize erosion, sediment transport and sediment deposition from exposed soils. Proper site-specific practice selection, design, placement, construction, site inspections, and maintenance of these Erosion and Sediment Control practices are also covered.

2026 NY SW RTC Series: Design, Inspection and Maintenance of Stormwater Ponds, Infiltration Basins and Bioretention SMPs

Three of the most frequently used stormwater management practices are wet ponds, infiltration basins, and bio-retention areas. Many of these practices have experienced failures due to improper selection, design, construction and/or maintenance. This class reviews the characteristics and performance of each of these practices, and provides an overview of the many considerations that must be made to select and design the most appropriate practice and details for site specific needs. Design examples, practice sizing, plantings, construction, inspection and maintenance of each practice are covered.

2026 NY SW RTC Series: Stormwater Design for Linear Projects

Linear projects, such as highways and utilities, present unique challenges for managing stormwater due to their length and space restrictions for installing BMPs. This class reviews the stormwater management techniques and practices that are most suitable for application in these conditions, as outlined in the “Blue Book” and the Design Manual. Topics include preparation of Erosion & Sediment Control Plans, hydrology analysis, and the design of post-construction practices on various linear project types, including streetscape retrofits. Applicability of the construction general permit requirements for linear projects are also reviewed.

2026 NY SW RTC Series: SWMP and SWPPP Preparation for MS4s

The current MS4 permit requires designated municipalities to prepare and annually update a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) Plan to comply with the permit’s many requirements. Also, soon to be required is the preparation of facility-specific Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) for High Priority MS4 municipal facilities. This class reviews the crucial elements of these documents and provides techniques and examples for preparing and updating.
