Educational Materials for Professionals Educational packets, videos, and modules for professionals are available as free downloads on the Packets and Modules for Professionals page. To order printed copies, use the order form on the DEMLR Publications page. Workshops Local Program Workshop The Local Program Workshop is an annual event presented by NC DEQ – Land Quality Section to educate and train local erosion and sediment control programs’ staff. The workshop also provides an opportunity for Local Programs to connect, learn from each other, and share challenges, strategies and successes of managing erosion and sediment throughout the state. For information on past and upcoming workshops refer to the Local Government Programs page. NC Erosion and Sediment Control Workshop Formerly known as the NC Erosion and Sediment Control Design Workshop. This workshop is meant to educate and familiarize design professionals, contractors, and developers with new erosion and sediment control requirements and practices, and also fulfills professional development hours. Currently, this workshop is presented by NC DEQ – Land Quality Section in partnership with the Southeast Chapter of the International Erosion Control Association (SE-IECA) and NCSU Department of Crop & Soil Sciences. Registration and agenda information will be posted to the workshop's event page as it becomes available.

The E&SC/SW program Level I, II and III certificates are good for three years before recertification is needed. These programs are valuable training for all individuals involved in E&SC, but are only required for those workers involved in E&SC on NCDOT projects. NCSU Crop and Soil Science - Erosion, Sediment and, Turbidity Control - Training, Workshops, and Field Days Level I and II Certifications are administered and managed by the NCSU Crop and Soil and Sciences Department. The Department also offers E&SC Field Days and Workshops, which are good resources to keep abreast on current E&SC regulations, practices and research. NCSU BAE – Level III Certification Workshop Level III Certification is managed by the NCSU Biological and Agricultural Engineering (BAE) Department. EnviroCert International, Inc. Certification Program-CPESC The Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC) program administered by EnviroCert International, Inc. is also an NCDOT-recognized certification program and reciprocity applies to the Level I and II Certification. Recertification is required on a yearly basis. EnviroCert International, Inc. Certification Program-CESSWI The Certified Erosion, Sediment, and Stormwater Inspector (CESSWI) administered by EnviroCert is also an NCDOT-recognized certification program and reciprocity applies to the Level I Certification. Recertification is required on a yearly basis.
