13 September 2010 – The International Erosion Control Association’s (IECA) Southeast Chapter is once again hosting a South Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Training and Field Day. This year’s event will be held on Thursday, October 7 in Anderson, South Carolina. It is titled “Sediment Control Systems” and will offer attendees up to 6 PDHs.
This year’s training will be a one-day event and all activities will be held at the TRI Denver Downs Research Facility. The morning sessions will be devoted to technical presentations by local technical experts on Sediment Control BMPs and Construction Site Turbidity Control. The afternoon sessions will focus on specific BMP applications, testing, and demonstrations.
For additional information and to register online, go to: www.geosyntheticstesting.com/reg.
Registration for the training is $25 before 15 September 2010 ($50 after) and includes a light breakfast, snack breaks, and lunch. Thanks to our vendors, the registration costs have been kept very low to encourage the attendance of public works employees, regulators, and field personnel. A total of 6 PDHs is available for attending the training.
The event is sponsored by the IECA Southeast Chapter, South Carolina Department of Transportation, Anderson County Environmental Services, Pickens County Stormwater Consortium, Clemson University Department of Agriculture and Biology, Upstate Forever and Carolina Clear. Additional sponsorship opportunities are available.
