POTSDAM -- The St. Lawrence County Soil and Water Conservation District will offer the NYS DEC required 4-hour erosion and sediment control training for contractors and developers Monday, June 19, from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at the Elks Lodge, 10 Elm St.

The training will be presented by Laura Benedict, CPESC-Essex County SWCD technician.

This training is required for all contractors working on projects that disturb more than 1 acre of soil and have a storm water permit from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. The permit will require contractors moving dirt at those sites to have at least one trained employee on site on a daily basis.

The training is good for three years.

Contractors and developers will have to pre-register for the training to receive credits. The training will cost $75 for certification, reference materials and refreshments. Registration needs to be in by 4:30 p.m. Friday, June 9. Visit slcswcd.org online, or contact Cheyenne Youngs, county soil and water technician, at 315-386-3582 or cheynne.youngs@slcswcd.org.
