2022 CGP Review

The 2022 CGP Review is delivered the last Friday and first Monday of each month and reviews and discusses updated issues encountered with the 2022 CGP.

QISP Day-3 Training

To become a QISP, one needs to complete the Day 1-2 online through the CASQA LMS. After passing the mid-term, one attends Day-3 with a ToR (in-person and virtual options) then return to the LMS to complete the Final Exam.

Foundational Training for 2022 CGP Delegates

The 2022 CGP requires Foundational and Site-specific training to be a Delegate. Guidance is available for Foundational training and a PowerPoint and test is available.

QSP Day 1-2 Training

Becoming a QSP requires attending a Day 1-2 course delivered by a ToR and passing a 2022 CGP Exam via the CASQA LMS. But, you are not done, yet! This has to be combined with an approved Prerequisite. It is a two-part process, but the order is not critical.

QSD Day-3 Training

QSDs develop and amend SWPPPs. Under the 2022 CGP, QSDs will complete certain required inspections. Becoming a QSD requires becoming or being a QSP, then attending a QSD Day-3 course delivered by a ToR followed by passing an exam on the CASQA LMS. Then, this has to be paired with an approved Prerequisite.

Inspector Training
This inspector training is geared toward municipal inspectors for CIP and private development. Many such inspectors may understand their jurisdictional rules but do not understand the 2022 CGP or stormwater/SWPPP issues.

RUSLE2 Training for 2022 GGP

RUSLE2 has 4 applications under the 2022 CGP. RUSLE2 is marginally understood as the agricultural ersoson model, but it minimally understod for its role under the 2022 CGP. The course will adress updated understandings of RUSLE2 for it role under the 2022 CGP.

Industrial Sampling Training

Common errors in sampling and reporting occur because of untrained samplers. Sampling industrial stormwater under IGP and other regulations require robust knowledge for effective sampling. The course addresses the basic in runoff sampling, developing effective industrial sampling plans.

Foundational Training for 2022 CGP Delegates

The 2022 CGP requires Foundational and Site-specific training to be a Delegate. Guidance is available for Foundational training and a PowerPoint and test is available.

QSP Day 1-2 Training

Becoming a QSP requires attending a Day 1-2 course delivered by a ToR and passing a 2022 CGP Exam via the CASQA LMS. But, you are not done, yet! This has to be combined with an approved Prerequisite. It is a two-part process, but the order is not critical.

TR-55 Tutoring

Tutoring for operating the TR-55 for small watershed development focusing on SWPPP development and construction and post-construction BMPs.

Pi-Squared Environmental provides a collection of environmental services with emphasis on water quality education and concerns. Work will reflect education, perspective, understanding, and respect of water quality and water resource protection.

Pi-Squared Environmental Monitoring, Modeling, and Management provides a collection of services with emphasis on water quality education and concerns.

Why?

Lessen the knowledge gap in environmental and water quality education and reduce settling on ignorance to compensate for meeting water quality goals.

Promote and provide effective water quality monitoring, modeling, and management service supported by robust applications, education, and experience.

Promote water quailty knowledge and education to meet environmental regulations, not "avoid or dodge" regulations. Improve the future.

Pi-Squared support provides understanding of regulations with a respect for water quailty and environmental conditions, and not a resentful reaction to regulatory requirements.

Monitoring: Sampling; Analysis; and Studies

Typical services emphasize water quality sampling. Sampling runoff under the California Construction and Industrial Permits, and Municipal Programs. Other services include automated or innovative sampler planning, design, and installation. Also, perform and coordinate TMDL studies, WLA sampling, BMP performance sampling and dye studies.

Modeling: Water Quality; Watershed; Fate and Transport

Water quality modeling services utilzing a collection of publicly available and supported models, programs and calculations. Modeling support may apply for TMDLS, WLAs, stream studies, mixing zone analysis and BMP performance. Models include HSPF, SWMM, QUAL2-E, MINTEQ, CORMIX, BASINS application.

Modeling efforts can support a regulatory requirement or defend an innovative water quality approach. Related modling efforts can support EIR and other related findings. Overall modeling efforts can be useful under various stages of development from construction to operational - to support LID and water quality treatment and improvement with new and re-newed development.

Expertise in Auto-Samplers

and

Stream Sampling

Management: Assessment; Oversight; and Training

Sampling training under CGP, IGP, Municipal and general education programs. Industrial Permit site assessment, training, and future QISP training. Also, provide QSD support - SWPPP development, and limited QSP services.
