Welcome to the Pacific Northwest Chapter:
The PNWIECA (Pacific Northwest Chapter of the International Erosion Control Association) is a non-profit organization of professionals who come together to share and educate on issues of Erosion, Sediment and Stormwater Control. The Pacific Northwest encompasses Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, Canada. Whether you’re a Contractor, Engineer, Landscape Architect, State/Federal Employee or Compliance Officer the PNWIECA provides a forum to gather great and valuable information. We invite you to participate, network and share on Erosion and Sediment Control Issues facing the Pacific Northwest.
