In 2003, House Bill 285 amended the Georgia Erosion and Sediment Control Act of 1975 (GESA). These amendments included a mandatory certification program for all individuals involved in land disturbing activities in Georgia. A change in certification requirements came in May 2007 when Sonny Perdue signed a new House Bill (HB 463) that now allows workers operating in a Subcontractor capacity under a Primary or Secondary Permittee (electricians, plumber, landscape and erosion control companies) to only take a 2-hour Subcontractor Awareness course that offers no test. The Frequently Asked Questions link above will answer more of your questions about the actual certification requirements.

The Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission (GSWCC) in consultation with the Environmental Protection Division (EPD) and the Governor appointed Stakeholder Advisory Board was charged with developing and implementing the certification program. This program, which is specific to the needs of Georgia, includes various levels of courses that offer the required certification for land disturbing activities throughout the state. HB285 authorizes other public and private entities to deliver educational, testing, or certification components of the program only upon written approval and agreement by the Commission. GeoLOGIC is a Certified Trainer with GSWCC and provides this training, and is seminars for Subcontractors Awareness Level 1A – Fundamentals and Level 1B Advanced Fundamentals throughout Georgia.

Due to demand, GeoLOGIC is primarily delivering the Level 1A Fundamental Course but is also offering the Level 1B Advanced Fundamentals upon request.
