Stormwater Management Class Catalog

Florida Stormwater Erosion and Sedimentation Control Inspector Training Program 

We work with both the University of Florida/IFAS to provide Green-Industries BMP classes and The Florida Department of Environmental Protection to (FDEP) to provide Florida Stormwater, Erosion and Sedimentation Control Inspector (FSESCI) Training Courses.  Tampa Bay Training is provider #15 in the state providing such training for more than a decade.

FDEP states that the goals of the FSESCI program “are to better educate installers and inspectors on proper Best Management Practice (BMP) selection, installation, layering and maintenance; and to train and qualify inspectors to correctly inspect BMPs for use during and after constructions so the impacts from uncontrolled erosion and sedimentation on the construction site are minimized.”

The FSESCI program is a two-day class that follows the curriculum in the Florida Stormwater, Erosion and Sedimentation Control Inspector’s Manual. Upon the completion of the class, a 1-hour proctored examination is administered and a minimum passing grade of 70 percent is required to receive the FSESCI Qualified Inspector certificate.

Becoming a FSESCI Qualified Inspector allows one to perform stormwater inspections in the State of Florida in fulfillment of the requirements of the NPDES Construction Generic Permit (CGP).

University of Florida / IFAS – Green Industries BMP

A GI-BMP training certificate is required by Florida law for fertilizer applicators to get their Limited Fertilizer Applicator Certification (LF license), and is useful for all lawn-care, landscape and pest control workers, landscape designers, government staff, property managers, and others.
