Announcing ME DEP’s Inland Shoreline Stabilization Practices Certification course on Thurs., October 24, 2024, at the Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust’s David Moses Bridge Education Hall at 3 Round Top Lane in Damariscotta. Registration and paymentdeadlines are Mon., October 21, 2024.

Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District and Maine DEP are co-sponsoring this in-person half-day training that will be held from 8:00 am to noon, and includes a morning refreshments and materials.

Soil erosion is not only a source of non-point source pollution; it can also threaten structures and other development along waterbodies. Historically, there was a single approach to shoreline erosion: fill the shoreline with rock or riprap without regard to the ecological functions of the shoreline. While this approach can be successful in solving the erosion problem when done correctly, we now know it creates other problems for waterbodies, fish, and wildlife.

Shoreline erosion can be caused by several factors, and finding an appropriate solution requires an understanding of each reason behind the erosion. In this class, participants will be exposed to the factors leading to shoreline erosion, how land use and behavior affects shorelines, state permitting standards related to shoreline stabilization, the importance of vegetation and other natural processes in stabilization of shorelines, and how to minimize impacts to the water on shoreline projects.

John Maclaine of Maine DEP will facilitate this 4-hour class qualifies for 4 Continuing Education Hours (CEH) for individuals Certified in Erosion Control Practices by Maine DEP.
