RIDGWAY – The North Central Pennsylvania Regional Planning and Development Commission (North Central) announces a new in-person training course focusing on local road maintenance issues through PennDOT’s Local Technical Assistance Program.

Erosion and Sedimentation Control will be hosted by Brookville Borough from 8 a.m. to noon on Wednesday, June 26. The meeting will be held in the large meeting room in the borough’s complex located at 18 Western Ave., Brookville.

The course is designed to educate municipal employees on erosion and sedimentation control, with a focus on post-construction stormwater management. Topics covered in the course will also include erosion and sedimentation control measures and installation procedures. Examples of those control measures will also be discussed. The course will also focus on the municipality’s role in how to monitor post-construction stormwater management and the steps involved in developing erosion and sediment plans.

The course is designed for those who perform maintenance or construction on or near municipal roadways and bridges and employees who are responsible for MS4 E&S and PCSM inspections, including roadmasters, crew foremen, equipment operators, and laborers. Municipal managers and elected officials are encouraged to attend to learn the importance of budgeting for such projects.
