Training, Workshops and Presentations

SESC Training Opportunities for Construction Companies

The Lake County Soil and Water Conservation District is offering educational programs that can train your Company's staff on the Illinois EPA permit conditions. Moreover, the knowledgeable staff will come to your location and do the training on-site, therefore eliminating the need for traveling to a seminar. The District is charging one flat rate and there is no limit on the number of attendees.

Advantages of this program are:           

¨      We work directly with IEPA as sub-contractors, reviewing Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans and inspecting active construction site for compliance with the NPDES permit

¨      We will cater our presentation to your specific needs

¨      We will work around your schedule so you can train as many employees as you need

¨      There is no limit to how many times you can do the training (the fee will apply every time we travel to your site)

¨      The District will provide own laptop and projector

 

The flat rate for this opportunity is $260 for companies in Lake County and $325 outside of Lake County. Contact us today to discuss your education needs!!!
