Your LA License and What is Expected to Keep It!

- 7:30 pm
With Washington becoming a practice act state (yah, we know, old news) some are wondering what is expected in terms of professional development hours (PDH) required for licensure and the auditing process. What type of records should you keep? When will you be audited? How do I find CEU (continuing education courses) and when I do find a course and how do I know if it qualifies?

Using the Field Indicators for Hydric Soils

9:00 am
- 4:30 pm
This class will teach you how to effectively use the Hydric Soil Indicators in the Regional Supplements to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual. You will learn the basic processes that take place in saturated soil, and how to “read the story” in a soil profile. The training includes an introduction to identifying layers, distinguishing concentrations and depletions, and preparing hydric soil descriptions from soil profiles. Each student will have a chance to describe soil profiles and apply the field indicators to their notes. This workshop will be indoors, but be prepared to get your hands dirty. Please bring a copy of the Corps Regional Supplement for Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast Region, or Arid West Region.
