About the Workshop

The Stormwater SCM Inspection & Maintenance Update (Recertification) workshop is intended to allow certified stormwater inspection and maintenance professionals to maintain their certification with an update on the changes to regulations, maintenance requirements, inspection criteria, as well as new technologies available in the past three years. There is no exam for the Update workshop.

Re-certification Goals:

• Update on how stormwater affects water quality and regulations associated with it.
• Update on stormwater management devices used in North Carolina and how they function.
• Update on the inspection and maintenance requirements of each stormwater practice.

For this workshop, we have modified the standard Stormwater SCM Inspection & Maintenance Update (Re-certification) workshop to be a WALKING TOUR. Individuals who attend this workshop will receive their recertification. There will be no exam required.  

This workshop walking tour will proceed rain or shine.

This course is required for certified stormwater inspection and maintenance professionals every three years to maintain their certification.

Unfortunately, due to the University's parking requirements, we are unable to allow vehicles to be used to transport attendees from each location.

About Recertification 

Certified professionals must recertify every 3 years by attending the Stormwater Inspection & Maintenance Update (recertification) workshop. There is NO exam associated with the Update workshops. To qualify for the RECERT "update" course to receive re-certification, certifications must be current or have expired within the last 2 years. Example: 12/31/22 expiration date has until 12/31/24 to recertify. 

BEFORE YOU REGISTER: Please have your certificate number and expiration date ready when registering for an Update workshop as it is a required part of the registration process. If you do not know this information, please click on the List of Certified Professionals link below and use Ctrl+F to search for your information. Upon completion of the Update workshop, attendees will receive an updated inspector card, good for up to 3 years (the remaining portion of the year in which the workshop is taken, plus the following 2 years) and a certificate of attendance via email.

NOTE: The workshop and conference coordinators do not have the capacity to send notifications or emails when your certification is about to expire. Please be responsible and make the necessary reminders or other arrangements for yourself to keep your certification active. No concessions will be made for those who were not diligent in managing their own certification. We are only able to offer this workshop a limited number of times a year, across the state, and each workshop has a limited number of seats available. Again, please plan accordingly to maintain an active and valid certification.
