The Department may update this training periodically to address applicable regulatory or policy revisions or revisions to technical guidance relating to erosion and sediment control or post-construction stormwater management. When the Department updates this training, a trained licensed professional will need to attend this most current training to continue to prepare and certify NOIs for expedited review. Licensed professionals will have 1 calendar year to attend training after notice of an updated training is published.
