CPESC, Inc. Mission Statement

Reprinted from Article I of the CPESC, Inc. Bylaws

The public demands evidence of professional competence from persons whose activities affect the physical and economical well being of people throughout the world. Such professionals increasingly must be able to show evidence of their qualifications. The CPESC, Inc. certifies individuals based on thorough examination and review of an individual's educational, scientific and service activities in both the public and private sector. CPESC, Inc. has developed standards and procedures for certifying persons qualified to practice in the fields of erosion and sediment control or storm water quality.

Individuals who demonstrate an established minimal level of competence through the application review process and an examination process will be certified in erosion and sediment control or storm water quality fields by CPESC, Inc. This certification program is based upon scholarly preparation, knowledge and experience. Certified professionals listed on the registry will (a) meet the educational and practical experience standards, (b) subscribe to the code of ethics, (c) qualify for particular identification of special abilities, and (d) pass a qualifying examination.
