Rules and Regulations for Education and Training Certification Requirements for Persons Involved with Land Disturbing Activities ( Ammended: July 24, 2007; eff Aug 13, 2007)
The passage of House Bill 285 brings with it a new Erosion and Sedimentation Control Program and charges the Commission with managing and administering the new education and certification process. Other State agencies and private organizations will be consulted ensure that the program remains up to date and is responsive to State needs by establishing a Stakeholder Advisory Board. Other public and private entities will be authorized to deliver educational, testing, or certification components of the program only upon written approval and agreement by the Commission. Anyone involved in land development, design, review, permitting, construction, monitoring, inspection, or any land-disturbing activity in Georgia must meet these new education requirements and be certified by the Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission. It is estimated that 26,000 people will have to be certified by December 31, 2006.
The Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission in consultation with Georgia Environmental Protection Division and the Stakeholder Advisory Board are currently developing course materials for this new program.
