Ron Poe, RLA, C.P.E.S.C.

Ron is a Highway Environmental Program Manager in Nebraska Department of Roads’ Environmental Section.  He received a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from Iowa State University in May 1993. ­Ron manages the Roadside Stabilization Unit.  Some of the Unit’s responsibilities include erosion and sediment control design, specifications, and seed mixtures for construction and maintenance projects.  The Unit also manages the environmental compliance on construction sites and two water quality permits; the construction stormwater permit and NDOR’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit.

Ron has been involved in erosion and sediment control design with NDOR since October 1998.  In 2004, he achieved the Certified Professional of Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC) Certification.  In 2008, Ron completed the licensure process and is licensed as a Landscape Architect in the state of Nebraska.

Over the past three years, Ron has been developing and implementing erosion and sediment control training classes.  Through these classes, NDOR has trained nearly 1500 individuals ranging from NDOR employees, contractors, consultants and city/county employees.  The classes have been challenging, but very rewarding seeing stormwater training being offered throughout the state.
