Advanced Training Workshop for Soil Evaluators and LSP

An important and essential skill for Soil Evaluators is to be able to interpret the landscape and assess the underlying soil/geologic conditions before digging the deep holes. Identifying the different landforms and understanding the geologic processes (glaciers, rivers, marine, wind, etc.) that formed the underlying sediments is key. With this knowledge one can visualize the landscape in a three dimensional perspective, alerting the evaluator to underling restrictive layers, presence of silt and clay, potential for a high water table, altered/disturbed soil conditions, etc.

This workshop is currently being reviewed by the LSP Board for approval as technical workshop of continuing education units. If approved, this workshop will be offered in different regions of the State.

Create a foundation of knowledge in Soil Science and develop field skills needed by an LSP for assessing, documenting, and interpreting the soil conditions for hazardous materials assessment.
