HSPF TRAINING WORKSHOP
The course contents will include learning the basics of HSPF hydrology and hydraulics modeling. HSPF is the computational engine for the Western Washington Hydrology Model. Workshop participants will each receive a hard copy of the user's manual.
This one-day seminar will include:
• Continuous simulation theory: modeling the hydrologic cycle
• Hydrometeorological data requirements
• Data storage using WDM files
• Introduction to ANNIE, WDMUtil, GenScn
• Data input/output using MUTSIN, sequential files, import files, display files
• User Control Input (UCI) files
• PERLND and IMPLND parameters
• RCHRES and FTABLEs
• Model calibration procedures
• Graphical plotting and statistical analysis.
STORMWATER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMP) FOR CONSTRUCTION CERTIFICATION
This outstanding two-day training course teaches contractors the most current techniques for successfully managing erosion and sediment at construction sites. In addition, the newest information on complying with federal, state and local regulatory requirements for stormwater is presented in an easy to understand format. The course combines classroom instruction with actual hands-on field exercises aimed at choosing, and correctly installing mats, blankets, check dams, bonded fiber matrix, straw and other erosion control materials for specific site conditions. The Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) has approved this class as satisfying Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead training requirements. The course is endorsed by the Pacific Northwest International Erosion Control Association, and required by the Port of Seattle. Participants completing this class will receive certification as erosion and sediment control leads for the Washington Department of Ecology.
Day 1: Classroom Instruction
Day 2: Field Instruction (Required: Hardhat, safety vest, clothing for inclement weather)
The field instruction on the 2nd day will be held at Cedar Grove Composting in Maple Valley for all Seattle and Tacoma classes, unless otherwise noted. Directions may be found under the "Contact Us" tab on this website.
STORMWATER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMP) FOR CONSTRUCTION RECERTIFICATION (1 DAY)
This one-day course meets the Department of Ecology's (DOE) requirements for CESCL recertification under the Construction Stormwater General Permit for CESCL's who have previously completed the two-day certification class within the past 3 years. The course includes a review of some of the core knowledge of erosion and sediment control, but is primarily dedicated to advanced topics that will assist CESCL's in managing permit compliance more effectively.

WESTERN WASHINGTON HYDROLOGY MODEL v. 3 (WWHMv3)
The course content includes training for the version 3 features. Workshop participants will each have access to a computer with the WWHM 3 loaded and ready to use. They will receive hands on instruction from the model. The instruction will include: program installation and setup, step by step walk through of all model features, specific training of pond design capabilities, specific training of water quality design capabilities, numerous project examples, tips and tricks for easy model use, a hard copy of the users manual, and a CD-ROM with all course materials including the full installable version of the WWHMv3.
