Training
The MS4 permit requires that co-permittees conduct staff/employee training on 4 topics:
- Pesticide, Herbicide, & Fertilizer storage, mixing, & application (Part III.A.6).
- Identification & reporting procedures for a suspected illicit discharge (Part III.A.7.c).
- Spill prevention & response procedures (including techniques for mitigating pollution from spills) (Part III.A.7.d).
- Proper building & construction stormwater management and erosion and sediment control BMPs for construction sites (Part III.A.9.b).
The co-permittees have purchased 2 training videos to assist in meeting these permit requirements. The videos are shown once a year during regularly scheduled Steering Committee meeting(s) and are available on loan to all co-permittees for use in-house. These videos may not be reproduced, but additional copies may be purchased from the vendor.
The MS4 NPDES permit also requires that co-permittees conduct annual training on stormwater, erosion, and sediment control for construction site operators, engineers, and inspectors (Part III.A.9.c). The co-permittees currently meet this requirement by sponsoring a minimum of one annual FDEP Stormwater, Erosion, and Sedimentation Control Inspector Training and Certification course.
