Please join the Town Manager and the Sustainability Committee as they welcome engineers and inspectors from Acorn Engineering to provide training on erosion and sedimentation controls (ESC) on Tuesday, January 18 from 9-11 AM at The Dunaway Community Center.
You may also watch this training remotely on Town Hall Streams, https://townhallstreams.com/towns/ogunquit_maine).
This training has been developed for municipal staff and members of community boards or groups who are involved in planning, development, and/or water quality, as well as first responders who are often the first people aware of a potential erosion issue, but is also open to contractors, environmental organizations, and all other members of the public.
Acorn will share practical, up-to-date information about ESC, including:
- WHY ESC is required for construction projects of most types and sizes;
- WHAT kinds of ESC products are appropriate for certain conditions;
- WHEN the ESC measures need to be installed;
- HOW to know if erosion control measures are working (and when they aren’t!); and
- WHERE a contractor can get ESC products.
We’ll review triggers for local review (Planning Board) vs. state (Maine DEP) regulatory authority, show examples of good and bad erosion control, and discuss ways small communities like Ogunquit can enforce erosion control.
Acorn will have samples of different types of erosion control materials for participants to see and touch first-hand and will end the presentation with an open discussion to answer participant questions about erosion control, stormwater management, and construction project management.
