Recertification Eligibility: You must complete recertification training within 6 months after your current CESCL card expiration date. If your card expired more than 6 months ago, you must take the full 2-day live CESCL-101 course.

CESCL certification is required in Washington and Oregon for personnel responsible for construction stormwater inspections and sampling at construction sites. The course covers the essentials of being a certified lead and includes information on how new regulations impact CESCL job functions. Upon completion, students will know how to confidently comply with federal, state, and local regulatory requirements for stormwater management.

This CESCL certification course meets the training and certification requirements of the General Permit and BMP C160 Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead (CESCL) in Washington State Department of Ecology's stormwater management manuals for Eastern and Western Washington. The Construction Stormwater General Permit requires that site inspections be conducted by a CESCL.
