Since 1999, the HBAA has been the leader in providing QCI (Qualified Credentialed Inspector) training in Alabama. The course provides tools and strategies to help achieve and maintain compliance with the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) stormwater general permit that must be on all construction sites.
Certification will give you the opportunity to do most of the comprehensive inspections required by the general permit, rather than hire engineers or consultants to do them. As a result, you can expect to save thousands of dollars over the year. You will also have a better understanding of compliance on a daily basis.
Engineers with TTL, professionals in the area of erosion and sediment control who are ADEM-approved, will teach this course. We provide QCI training to organizations such as the Alabama Department of Transportation, Alabama Power, Spire (Alabama Gas Corporation), Tennessee Valley Authority, Birmingham Water Works, various municipalities and counties across Alabama, and many others.
After you take the initial course and become certified, you must take continuing education classes each year to maintain your certification. If you allow your certification to expire, you must take the initial course again.
