Can I receive DOPL-approved CEU credit with the State of Utah?
You may. Please complete the DOPL section when registering online.
Professional Development for Re-Certification
Storm Water re-certifications requires a number of hours of professional development. (These have previously been labeled "continuing education"; but are more correctly referred to as "professional development". They should not be confused with the "continuing education credits" required for certain professional licenses. Professional development hours may include online or in-person training, or on-topic conferences.
Do you have a list of seminars that qualify for the professional development required for renewal?
No. However there are several organizations that provide training on related topics. Below are just some of the options we've found:
- Utah LTAP
- Utah APWA Fall Conference and Stormwater Expo (held in October)
- Associated General Contractors, Utah Chapter
- National Stormwater Center
- Stormwater ONE
- US EPA
- Stormwater Go
- International Erosion Control Association
- American Society of Civil Engineers
- Center for Watershed Protection Center
- Low Impact Development Center
- County Storm Water Coalitions
What topics do you suggest to meet the criteria for Storm Water professional development?
Topics may include:
- Clean Water Act
- Low Impact Development
- Green Infrastructure
- Nutrient Management
- Construction Site Runoff Control
- Watershed Protection and Planning
- Best Management Practices
- SWPPP Development
- Erosion and Sediment Control
Is there a cost for professional development training?
That depends on the training you select. The EPA offers numerous recorded courses that are available at no cost.
What documentation is required of professional development training?
You must provide a short description and hours of each training you received. Training must be completed during each certification period.
You may complete another RSI or RSW course to obtain, but you will need to pay the course fee and take the test again.
Where do I submit the documentation of professional development hours?
You will report your hours in your Storm Water Records/Renewal page.
