Environmental Permitting & Construction Compliance Workshop
The SGA Environmental Inspection and Construction Compliance Workshop held every February in Houston is designed for both new and experienced environmental professionals. On the first day of the workshop, all attendees will participate in a group session. The second day, attendees can attend tracks based on their own experience and interest level. On the last day, all attendees will come together again for the final session and closure. The course has been updated this year to include both permitting and construction issues. If you've attended the SGA Environmental Inspectors Workshop in the past, this would be a good opportunity to review current issues. If you're a new inspector, this workshop will help you identify your role as the environmental inspector and improve your skills.
