AK-CESCL Initial & Refresher Training |
|
AK-CESCL InitialAK-CESCL (Alaska Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead) is a training and certification program to enhance compliance with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation Construction General Permit for storm water discharges. It is overseen by the Alaska Storm Water Steering Committee (ASWSC) to provide standardized training statewide.
As of January 1, 2008, the USACE Alaska District and ADOT & PF require contractors on their construction projects to have a certified CESCL representative on site. AGC worked with the USACE Alaska District, ADOT & PF, ADEC, ADNR, ARRC, MOA and other Alaskan construction industry representatives and developed a CESCL training program for Alaska. This 2-day (16-hour) course is designed for commercial and residential builders, explaining the erosion process and how to obtain and comply with the EPA NPDES storm water permit. The course also describes the key elements of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and provides detailed instructions on how to maintain a SWPPP, select, install and maintain storm water Best Management Practices (BMP’s). AGC's AK-CESCL certification class will give you the tools you need to comply with federal, state, and local storm water requirements. Certification Renewal is required every 3 years.

AK-CESCL RefresherASWSC has approved a 1-day (8-hour) Refresher Course to satisfy the Alaska Certified Erosion Sediment Control Lead (AK-CESCL) renewal requirements. To be eligible to take this training, you must have an active AK-CESCL number and taken the 2-day (16-hour) class or Refresher class within the last three years. As of February 20, 2018 a new grace period of 90 calendar days from the expiration date has been approved by the ASWSC, in which a certified individual is eligible to renew his or her AK-CESCL certification by taking the refresher course, if their certification expired within this time frame. During the grace period, the individual is considered not AK-CESCL certified for purposes of being a "qualified person" for permit requirements. If your certification expired prior to February 20, 2018, AK-CESCL requires you to take the 2-day class (16-hour). If your AK-CESCL certification expired after February 20, 2018, you may be eligible to take the 1-day (8-hour) Refresher Course providing your expiration is not past 90 days.
This course is a summary of the 2-day initial AK-CESCL class. This course thoroughly examines erosion and sediment pollution control concepts and design procedures as they apply to construction projects. The Refresher Course is a training and certification program to comply with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation Construction General Permit. The Refresher Course will stress risk management, review proper best management practices, and provide guidance. Upon passing the 1-day (8-hour) refresher course, the applicant will be granted an AK-CESCL certificate. Applicants not passing the 1-day (8-hour) refresher course will be required to retake the 2-day (16-hour) class. Prerequisites: An attendee must have an active AK-CESCL number and completed the 2-day (16-hour) or the 1-day (8-hour) refresher course within the past 3 years. The AK-CESCL is now requiring attendees to sign a Student Awareness Form as part of our transition from a 2-day (16-hour) class to offering a 1-day (8-hour) class. In order for students to be aware of the improvements made to the AK-CESCL refresher program, we are requiring all students to turn in a signed copy of the awareness form to the training provider prior to the class.
