This is a repeat virtual course that is intended for individuals who are relatively new to the wetland business in MN.  The course will walk through (or at least touch on) each major section of the MN Wetland Conservation Act.  The course is specifically geared towards new Local Government Unit (LGU) and Technical Evaluation Panel members but is very useful for all wetland professionals who want to understand the regulatory world of wetlands in Minnesota.  Experienced professionals could also take this course as a refresher. 

The agenda for the course:

Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) 101 Virtual Training- February 5-6 (3 online CEC per day)

Day One (Feb 5, 8:30am-noon)- Introduction to wetland regulatory programs in MN, Purpose and scope of the WCA, Local Government Unit (LGU) duties, Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) procedures, WCA application procedures, and enforcement procedures.
