Because of these new requirements, landscape designers and contractors working in Georgia need to have employees who are certified in erosion and sediment control. At anytime, an DNR ?EUR??,,????'???Environmental Protection Division (EPD) official can come onto a site where soil is being disturbed and request to see the E&SC certification credentials of the responsible representative of the company providing the work. It will be a requirement, after December 31, 2006, that there be at least one certified person responsible for E&SC on site at any time work is taking place by any sub-contractor carrying out land disturbing activities. Each sub-contractor at a job site is responsible for having an E&SC certified responsible person for their company or business. If there is no responsible person, the company could be fined, a stop work order could be issued or other enforcement penalties might be invoked.
