The IECA Northeast Chapter serves 
Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut and New York.


WELCOME to the IECA NORTHEAST CHAPTER web site. 


The IECA Northeast Chapter ("NEC") was chartered in 1994 as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charitable organization serving New England and New York. The NEC’s mission is to connect, educate and support the erosion & sediment control and stormwater management communities.  We focus on promoting regionally-appropriate practices, offering specialized training at the local level, and providing a network for scientists, regulators, contractors and all other segments of the industry to share information.

I try to update the site on a regular basis, so I hope you check back often.  I invite YOU to submit news items, event information, case studies, etc., to 
news@ieca-NEChapter.org to be posted on this website or/and to appear in a newsletter.  Anything from a simple link to a complete article is welcome. 

If you do not find what you are looking for, please let me know what you would like to see on this website - or better yet, volunteer to help me with it!  Seriously - opportunities to participate abound, as simple as ringing in to one of our Quarterly Conference Calls or as serious as providing training to fellow members. 

Please feel free to contact me at 
info@ieca-NEChapter.org if you have any questions.

IECA's Chapter Awards Program

2006 is the first year that the NEC scored at least 600 points in each category - our total score was up 30% and we were awarded an Honorable Mention!!  The NEC was recognized at the awards ceremony at IECA's Environmental Connection 2007 in Reno; part of the prize was a free one-day pass to next year's EC in Orlando.  The Board is considering options such as offering the pass as a door prize at our own annual event, awarding it to an outstanding volunteer, or raffling it away to raise funds for a scholarship program.

One of the first items on the "P4E" submittal list is an Annual Chapter Report.  It sort-of wrote itself as the Board of Directors discussed the rest of the submittal items, short term goals, etc.
