Introduction Flashcards
What is CISEC program?
recognizes the abilities, skills, experience, and knowledge of inspectors
who have demonstrated their proficiency in observing, inspecting, and reporting on the
implementation of Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWMPP), as they are known in the
United States, or Erosion and Sediment Control Plans (ESC Plans)
CISEC Mission Statement
1.knowledge in the principles and practices of sediment and erosion
control—applicability to the development of ESC plan
2.Skills to observe onsite and offsite conditions that impact the quality
of storm water discharges from active construction sites.
3. Ability to inspect installed best management practices and their ongoing
maintenance to determine if the mitigation measures will minimize the discharge of sediment and
other pollutants from active construction sites.
4.communicate and report on their inspection of active construction sites
as to whether compliance issues may exist with federal, provincial and/or local regulators.
Who can become a CISEC?
• Two or more years of construction site field experience involving erosion and sediment control;
• A complete understanding of erosion and sedimentation processes and how they impact the
environment;
• A complete understanding of key federal, provincial and local regulations;
• The ability to read and understand construction site stormwater management and ESC plans;
and
• The ability to communicate and write complete and accurate inspection reports.
WHAT IS SOIL SOIL EROSIONN AND DEPOSITION?
natural geomorphic processes that give shape to
landforms and provide new parent material for the development of soil profiles.
What is accelerated erosion?
The process that become issue, when the rate of erosion become greatly exceed the rate of expected_in the absence of human land use.
How to measure the rate of erosion?
Measurement of sediment tansported and accumulation & mass movement on hill slope
