About ASI


The American Stormwater Institute, LLC is dedicated to providing quality training to professionals in the area of conducting stormwater inspections and understanding stormwater permitting requirements. We are recognized as a small, woman owned business located in Abingdon, MD but we work throughout the USA.

American Stormwater Institute Mission Statement

Both state and federal regulations require that “Qualified Personnel” conduct stormwater permit inspections. ASI has developed specialized courses that not only inform students about stormwater permitting and how to conduct professional inspections, but also allow students who successfully complete the course to be recognized as “Qualified.”

ASI does this through classes that are formed at specific locations which typically are focused on one state’s requirements. We also conduct online classes that cover the same general concepts as the onsite classes but also address specific concerns of students that may be simultaneously located throughout the USA. ASI is frequently asked to develop training for private groups that may want to discuss specific issues. Our team of instructors is comfortable and capable of providing quality training through each of these approaches.

There also are some instances where municipalities or other groups request that we provide not only specific training for some of their employees but also that we provide assistance in conducting municipal site stormwater inspections. This approach is usually beneficial to train support staff about stormwater requirements and to provide further insight for stormwater inspectors.

For more information, please contact us or read about our instructors and their qualifications.

I am currently telecommuting from home in response to COVID-19 concerns and was happy to see there are still training opportunities available right now that can be taken online! It was a unique opportunity to learn about the stormwater issues faced in other parts of the country where weather patterns vary greatly and stormwater programs are faced with different regional concerns. I really appreciated the opportunity to gain that perspective.

The class was very informative and will be of great help to me in inspecting stormwater items. I enjoyed the class and I think it is really worth more than 1.5 CEUs. Thanks again.

Steve DeSalva

The content was great and I learned a lot. I can put the material into immediate use.

Thank you very much for an informative and interesting class which you instructed on Stormwater Inspections this past week in Bordentown.

I enjoyed the training and learned a great deal over the last two days. I also liked the examples you provided of the different types of illicit discharges. These are good to know as an inspector but can be easily bypassed if one does not know what to look for.

Since I attended the seminar, I’ve gotten better at identifying BMPs at construction sites and making decisions on whether said BMPs are working.
