Permit Language or Requirements
This CESCL certification course is recognized as meeting the training and certification requirements of Washington State Department of Ecology's Construction Stormwater General Permit (BMP C160) and the Oregon 1200C and potential 1200CN requirements for the Erosion and Sediment Control Inspector (ESCI).
However, CWT Training Academy has created an Oregon specific course that includes all of the Washington information but has an additional section specific to 1200C and 1200CN requirements and recommends that those who have projects primarily in Oregon take the Oregon course.
Additionally, a CESCL certification can meet the requirements of the Oregon Department of Transportation for an Erosion and Sediment Control Manager (ESCM) after completing the ODOT exam. However, this CESCL program does not have reciprocity with the Alaska CESCL program.

Special Notes for this Course:
5 Consecutive Days begins the moment a Learner is registered for this course. This course will NOT take the fill 5 days, but this amount of time provides Learners the ability to go at their own pace. In a traditional in-person version of this course, learning takes place during two 8 hour days, beginning in a classroom and ending on a field site. We eliminated those requirements and by taking the course on-demand, Learners have 3 additional days.
For example:
If you register at 9AM on Monday, you have until 9AM on Saturday to complete your certification. If you were to register at 2PM on Friday, you will have until 2PM on that following Wednesday to complete. YES, weekends do count!
We do understand that sometimes you can't start a course right away, and that's okay! We suggest holding off registering for this course until you are ready to get started so that you have as much of the full 5 consecutive days as possible to complete.
