Keeping up with Alaska's Demands

According to Sam Lamont, Alaska Board Member for the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the International Erosion Control Association (IECA), the demand for training in Alaska is almost outpacing the ability of private and public sector efforts to meet the need. That’s where the Chaper has stepped in to do what they do best – educate. Thanks to their joint efforts, the Alaska General Contractors, the Alaska Department of Transportation and the PNW Chapter can now boast that there are now more than 2,000 certified stormwater practitioners in the state. The Chapter continues to field fielding an increasing number of calls requesting additional training for the state. CPESC and CISEC certification classes are planned for the fall.
