The RAMCA/VDOT Erosion and Sediment Control Contractor Certificaton Program

Upcoming ESCCC Certification Classes

In accordance with VDOT Road and Bridge Specification 107.16 (A), a land‐disturbing activity that occurs within the VDOT right‐of-way must be supervised by a certified Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) Contractor who is required to be on‐site at all times during that land‐disturbing activity.

RAMCA is authorized by VDOT to teach and administer the ESCCC Program.

This course is intended for any individual who has experience in excavation and erosion and sediment control devices and techniques, who seeks to be certified as a VDOT ESC Contractor. This class certifies you to place and inspect Erosion and Sediment Controls on VDOT Easements or VDOT Projects.
