IECA to Celebrate 40 Years of Erosion Control Success at EC12

This year marks the International Erosion Control Association's (IECA) 40th anniversary. In honor of this achievement, the association is holding a "birthday bash extravaganza" on February 29 during its annual Environmental Connection conference. EC12 will be held at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada 26-29 February 2012. The birthday celebration will include drinks, food, and entertainment. All EC12 attendees with full registrations will be given a free ticket to this end-of-conference bash.

Other highlights of the event will include:

• Greg Schaner, an Attorney Adviser for the U.S. EPA Office of Wastewater Management, will deliver a keynote address at the General Session and Awards Ceremony. Schaner will discuss changes and updates to the Effluent Limitations Guidelines (ELGs).
• A number of new full-day training courses will be offered, including How to Analyze & Solve Soil Stability; Stream and Riparian Area Investigation, Rehabilitation and Design Workshop; and Turbidity Control 101: What You Need to Know for This Unfolding Business Opportunity
• More than 90 sessions (one-hour and half-day) will address major challenges such as stormwater monitoring (data and methods), erosion control on desert landscapes, compliance with the new EPA Construction General Permit (CGP), and more.
