EROSION & SEDIMENT CONTROL TRAINING

METI’s Erosion & Sediment Control Training gives you approaches to protecting construction sites, adjacent properties and water bodies.

With METI’s Erosion & Sediment Control Training, you receive instruction on the principles of Erosion & Sediment Control and key applications.

When someone wants to interact with a watercourse, such as install a crossing, withdrawal water, or add erosion protection, they must follow the rules set in the Activity Designation Regulations and the Nova Scotia Watercourse Alterations Standard.  Train in the standard with our Erosion & Sediment Control Training.

Key Benefits to METI’s Erosion & Sediment Control Training

By taking our Erosion & Sediment Control Training, you will take away principles that lead to sustaining our surface water supply, which in turn supports economic development, sustains health of humans and aquatic ecosystems, protects the environment, and sustains a high quality of life for Nova Scotians.

• Give examples of causes of erosion on building sites
• Give examples of how to practice the principles of Erosion & Sediment Control
• Indicate what elements must be in an Erosion & Sediment Control plan
• Distinguish among the activities that take place during assessment of risk of erosion
• Indicate how construction activities sequenced in erosion and sediment control plans
