This MPCA Smart Salting certification training offers guidance on how to best use the free, online SSAt to assess and adjust your organizations winter maintenance program. The tool reports your specific past, current, and future successful practices, and suggests high-value improvement areas that, when used in planning, can reduce salt use and save money. Instructors will also cover how the SSAt is one way to assist those with new MS4 permit chloride requirements.

This is a Level 2 organizational certification earned when a designated staff submits a completed assessment, and then can be listed on the MPCA Smart Salting certification webpage for 2 years. You may submit and get certified without attending a training. However, many find the detailed instruction, hands-on assistance, and time to launch into the tool highly valuable.

Who should attend?

• Winter maintenance managers and supervisors
• Business owners/private contractors
• Superintendents
• Public works directors and local government decision-makers
• Lead staff informed about their organization's winter maintenance strategy
• Environmental professionals

Imagine the benefits you could see from an informed, detailed assessment of your organizations winter maintenance strategy!
