Erosion Control Workshop: Sept. 21, 2022
Training for professionals working in soils, erosion control, water quality, public works, engineering, roads, planning, and consulting.
“A little bit of dirt never hurt anybody,” but a little bit from a jobsite multiplied by the hundreds of jobsites in a watershed can add up quickly. Soil erosion has the potential to harm our drinking water resources, fish and wildlife resources, and even effect how much treatment wastewater must receive.
Erosion Control has changed dramatically over the years and new technologies are constantly in development. Use this workshop to help you stay current on useful practices. This full day training will incorporate both classroom sessions and outdoor, hands on demonstrations in small group settings.
