EPSC Professional Duties & Responsibilities
It wasn’t long ago when the biggest problem that a Metro EPSC inspector faced on a development site was the lack of accountability or the absence of a central contact person when needing to address issues on site, specifically issues such as sediment loss into nearby streams or onto adjacent properties. On April 1, 2002 , seeking a solution to these problems, MWS made it mandatory for every development site applying for a grading permit to obtain the services of a certified erosion prevention and sediment control.
Volume I, section 2.2 of the Metro Stormwater Management Manual (SWMM) gives Metro the authority to require an erosion prevention and sediment control (EPSC) professional to be on-site to act as an EPSC supervisor. Starting June 1, 2002 , every development project requiring a Metro grading permit shall be required to designate/attain the services of an individual which has been certified via the ongoing TDEC Water Pollution Control Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control training class.
The EPSC professional's responsibilities are outlined in Section 4.3.3 of the SWMM.
