COURSE DESCRIPTION

Environmental Monitoring is an environmental management practice that is implemented on most construction and development projects. Hundreds of companies provide environmental monitoring services.

Environmental Monitoring for Construction Projects explores this complex but often misunderstood environmental management discipline.
