ESC BMP Interactive Workshop

Location. Location. Location!

Ideal sites include a slope, stockpile or hill with exposed and erodible soil. The area needs to be large enough to have the Learners comfortable standing around a display of BMPs.

What can Learners expect to discuss during the event?

Erosion Management

Application of BMPs

Installation Considerations

Hands on Experience

Installed BMPs are tested against a manufactured "rainstorm" created by an eductor truck, water truck or some other means of water application to see how well they perform.

Prior to class:

• A place to receive and store BMP shipments for the course, and either a forklift or several staff members to unload
  
•  Ability to transport stored BMPs to the field site (if not delivered directly to that location)
  
• Host may want to have canopies (weather dependent) and seating installed onsite one day prior
• Earth will need to be scraped and shaped to allow for install of ESC BMPs and create erodible soil
• Procurement of equipment to manufacture a "rainstorm" (ex. eductor or water truck)
• Access to water supply for manufactured "rainstorm" or hydroseed applications
• Orient training area based on wind and sunlight
• Tools (see Tools list below)
• Designate a location and means of disposal of used BMPs when class is completed
• Portable toilets, if not already available

Day of and During Class:

• On the day of the class, CWT will need access to the field site to set up at least 1-1.5 hours prior to class start time
• Depending on class size & logistics, a host staff member may need to assist with timekeeping

Post Class:

• Assistance with clean up and disposal of used BMPs
• Regrading the site, if needed
