Stormwater professionals will have an opportunity to sharpen their erosion and sediment control skills during a full-day training workshop Nov. 18 in Mobile County.

The Erosion and Sediment Control Best Management Practices (BMP) Workshop will feature expert presentations and hands-on field training focused on the Alabama Handbook for Erosion, Sediment Control and Stormwater Management, commonly known as the Blue Book.

Participants will examine three commonly overlooked or incorrectly installed best management practices, proper installation methods and techniques for improving communication between agencies. The training also will cover additional topics related to erosion control, sediment management and stormwater practices.

The workshop is geared toward engineers, consultants, developers, contractors, municipal employees and others who work in stormwater management.

The event is scheduled for 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, at the John Archer Agricultural Center, 1070 Schillinger Road North in Mobile.

Hosted by Mobile County and its partners, the workshop costs $50 per participant. Contact LBC@auburn.edu for more information.
