SCM Inspection & Maintenance Certification Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Workshop Description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This workshop is held multiple times a year across North Carolina, however, there is not a set list of cities that we visit each year. If a workshop is not posted, we have no additional information to provide regarding future workshop locations or dates. If you have not done so already, we recommend joining our mailing list<\/a> to be notified when new workshops become available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each workshop is unique. The information below is provided for general information about the workshop. Please reference the registration website for specific information about the individual workshop.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Workshop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This workshop is formerly known as \u201cStormwater BMP Inspection & Maintenance\u201d. Same workshop, updated name. Communities across the State of North Carolina must manage rainfall that runs off roads, streets, and parking lots. This runoff is called stormwater. To manage stormwater, many treatment devices, called SCMs, have been built. These devices include wet retention ponds, bioretention areas, swales, stormwater wetlands, permeable pavement, rainwater harvesting systems, proprietary devices, and level spreaders. SCMs must have annual, and sometimes more frequent, inspection and maintenance to perform as intended. Maintenance includes hydrologic and water quality function, landscape functions, and consideration of impacts on human health and safety. Many communities across North Carolina are now requiring annual inspection, and if called for, maintenance of SCMs. SCMs are not managed as standard landscape features, as they are water quality treatment devices, and specialized training is needed to perform inspection and maintenance activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
