Contractor Training Opportunities & Educational Resources

Any development or redevelopment occurring within the unincorporated areas of Dearborn County that meets the requirements for MS4 projects will be required to have a Trained Individual.  A Trained Individual is a person who is trained and experienced in the principles of stormwater quality, including erosion and sediment control as may be demonstrated by state registration, professional certification (such as Certified Erosion, Sediment & Stormwater Inspector and/or Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control), or other documented and applicable experience or coursework as deemed sufficient by Dearborn County that enable the individual to make judgments regarding stormwater control or treatment and monitoring. 

Dearborn County will offer Qualified Professional Inspector Training, and upon passing the course, an individual will receive a registration, active for 3 years, as a Qualified Professional Inspector (QPI) in Dearborn County.  Please check this page for upcoming information on QPI training.
