Online Stormwater BMP Courses

OWP is now offering new courses based on the California Stormwater Quality Association's (CASQA) Stormwater Best Management Practice (BMP) Handbooks. These courses are designed to provide continuing education for professional engineers, employees of municipal agencies, regulatory agencies, developers, construction companies, and others to increase their knowledge of stormwater best management practices.

Each course consists of two components. The CASQA BMP Handbook, and course enrollment. Enrollment includes a study guide on CD-ROM, and access to the final exam. Two continuing education units (CEUs) will be awarded for passing each final exam. A certificate will be issued for each completed course.
