Due to COVID-19 and the guidance that gatherings be postponed or canceled UBOS has decided to postpone the Certification Review class to June 15-19. While we regret any inconvenience this may cause, the health of our members and attendees is at the forefront of our minds and ultimately led us to this decision.

Certified Stormwater Inspector™ training since 2003.
Over 7,000 inspectors trained!
Certified Stormwater Inspector - MS4
see website for more CSI training dates
We are now offering a discount for early registration. You will receive a discount of $50.00 for registration forms submitted 30 days or more prior to the training date. Payment is not due at the time of registration. Attendees who have submitted their registration forms before this new policy was implemented will receive a refund of $50.00
There are many different organizations marketing stormwater training. In some cases, assorted claims and authoritative labels are used to legitimize these training programs. Our Compliance Team at The National Stormwater Center™ has assisted hundreds of organizations to meet and maintain stormwater compliance through its well-established services and product offerings including: SWMP development, providing SWPPP templates, compliance tracking, reporting, filing NOIs and NOTs and annual reports
Training programs that claim to produce “qualified” stormwater inspectors give the wrong impression. A training organization cannot “qualify” a stormwater inspector; only a permittee has the requisite authority to determine that an inspector is qualified. Our Certified Stormwater Inspector (CSI) ™ courses have provided over six thousand inspectors across our nation with the knowledge and education necessary to meet permit requirements of agencies and governments seeking to qualify their personnel. We Certify; You Qualify.
Designed specifically for municipal personnel, this course focuses on stormwater permit compliance as the key to restore and maintain the waters of the United States. Testing will be conducted. Students are expected to achieve a minimum overall score of 75% to be awarded 1.2 CEUs and a five (5) year Certified Stormwater Inspector™ Certificate. This certification indicates that the services are being performed by professionals who have completed the stormwater inspector certification requirements and have met established standards of knowledge, experience, and competence required in the field of stormwater inspections.
This course is appropriate for Municipal stormwater personnel including:
· Public Works personnel
· Building Code personnel
· Code Enforcement personnel
· FOG (Fats, Oils, Grease) inspectors
· Floodplain and watershed personnel
· Consultants to MS4s
Our CSI classes are designed specifically for stormwater personnel. Our instructors are experienced in stormwater enforcement at the Federal or State level.
Class Agenda
DAY ONE:
The morning session begins with a review of the law, which is the Clean Water Act and NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System). If you know it as LPDES (Louisiana) or TPDES (Texas), it is still NPDES.
The afternoon session is all about Industrial and Construction permits as well as Post Construction Controls.
DAY TWO:
The morning session covers municipal stormwater permits, illicit discharge detection and elimination, pollution prevention and inspections of municipal, industrial, and commercial activities.
The afternoon session of the second day includes inspecting construction sites, and public participation, involvement, and education.
By the end of this two-day class students will have gained an in-depth understanding of stormwater permits, the six minimum control measures, and their authority and discretion as stormwater inspectors.
Course and Registration Fee: $824.00 ($799 course, $25 registration). Discount: $50.00 per person discount for two or more registrants from same organization.
Terms: Registration fee is non-refundable. Course fee may be applied to another scheduled class, transferred to another registrant, or it will be refunded if cancellation received a minimum of 7 days prior to class start date. Certificates of Training valid for 5 years and 1.2 CEUs awarded by National Stormwater Center will be issued to attendees who achieve a minimum of 75% accuracy on overall testing.
