"Red Water Blues" Field Days

"Red Water Blues"; field days demonstrating erosion and sediment control practices will be held as part of the Alabama State Soil and Water Conservation Committee’s educational program for those who work in land-disturbing construction activities.  Best management practices (BMPs) and new technology will be demonstrated.  Participants can learn about BMPs by viewing the demonstrations and interacting with resource persons who will be available on site.  In addition, individuals with current Qualified Credential Inspector (QCI) certification can complete the mandatory 4-hour continuing education requirement.

Erosion and sediment control during construction of commercial sites, subdivisions, and roads is important in reducing construction costs and in keeping our streams and lakes clean. Therefore, the training will be beneficial to an array of individuals that plan, install, maintain, and inspect BMPs. Erosion control/stormwater planners, designers, contractors, and inspectors of BMPs from throughout the state are encouraged to attend. Other individuals with a vested interest in erosion and sediment control, such as city, county, and state officials are welcome.

Cost of the field day, which includes lunch, is $15 in advance or $20 on site.  QCI fee for continuing education training and field day is $110 and includes lunch.  Pre-registration is encouraged to help the sponsors plan for transportation and meals.
