Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District is sponsoring a day-long training in Basic Septic System Installation for contractors and site evaluators on Tuesday, March 31 at Watts Hall, 174 Main Street in Thomaston. The course will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and includes morning refreshments, lunch and snacks. Presenters Glenn Angell, retired state site evaluator, and Dave Rocque, state soil scientist, both have many years of experience as licensed site evaluators and state employees to share with the audience. Hear what they have learned over the years and improve your knowledge of septic systems installation.

The agenda includes an update on the 2015 SSWWD Rule Revisions; installer issues including HHE 200 “gotchas”; what installers should know about soils and hydrology; as well as information on wetland and waterbody regulations in the SSWWD Rules. The course qualifies for eight training hours towards recertification for LPIs and Dept. of Environmental Protection contractor and site evaluator certification programs.
