Wellhead Protection Training Session
August 26 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Free
The Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (Tri-County) is hosting a training session with the Groundwater Management Board on their recently updated Wellhead Protection Viewer. This training will review the new changes and how the Environmental Permits Checklist can be used in conjunction with the Viewer to support local processes such as site plan reviews and emergency planning. This training is ideal for staff involved in site plan review processes, community planners, wellhead protection teams, emergency management coordinators, and new staff interested in learning more about these tools.
The session will be held in the large conference room at the Tri-County office (3135 Pine Tree Rd, Suite 2C, Lansing, MI 48911) on Tuesday, August 26th, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m., led by Environmental Planner Lauren Schnoebelen.
The session will begin with a walk-through of the Environmental Permits Checklist and its accompanying appendix, which provides additional background information on permits. An example of how to use the checklist in day-to-day planning activities will also be provided. The second half of the session will include an overview of the changes to the Wellhead Protection Viewer, a demonstration of the tool and its capabilities, and a screening of training videos created specifically for the Viewer. There will be an opportunity for Q&A following each segment, and copies of the Checklist will be provided for each participant to keep.
Space is limited and is based on a first-come, first-served basis. RSVP by August 22nd.
