Roadside Development and Compliance Unit
Currently, three training courses are available to help meet NPDES permit requirements for NDOR Construction projects across the State.
NDOR Erosion and Sediment Control Basics for Inspectors Training & Certification (3 Options)
- Temporary Certification (Online class, good for 6 months)
- Inspector Certification of Recertification (Live 1 day class, certification good for 5 years)
- Inspector Recertification (Online 1 day class, good for 5 years)
- NDOR Erosion and Sediment Control Basics for Designers Training (2 day live class)
- NDOR Stormwater Treatment in MS4 Communities Training (1 day live class)
These programs offer the opportunity for training and/or certification. An optional short exam is offered for the Inspector course for those needing to get certified. A passing grade of a 70 percent certifies a person for five years as an Inspector for NDOR projects(starting January 2014). This certification can be used by other agencies / municipalities as well. NDOR employees and some personnel who do work on NDOR projects will be required to obtain certification. If you have questions relating to who needs certification – please call NE-LTAP office: Dennis Smith – 402-472-0976.
Available courses are outlined below:

After the Storm: Co-Produced by the U.S. EPA and The Weather Channel, the show highlights three case studies—Santa Monica Bay, the Mississippi River Basin/Gulf of Mexico, and New York City—where polluted runoff threatens watersheds highly valued for recreation, commercial fisheries and navigation, and drinking water. Key scientists and water quality experts, and citizens involved in local and national watershed protection efforts provide insight into the problems as well as solutions to today's water quality challenges. After the Storm also explains simple things people can do to protect their local watershed-such as picking up after one's dog, recycling household hazardous wastes, and conserving water. The program is intended for educational and communication purposes in classrooms, conferences, etc.
