The Maine DEP Non Point Source Training Center
(NPSTC) develops and produces training courses in erosion control
practices, and watershed protection. It also administers a voluntary
certification program for contractors who participate in the erosion
control courses. Through a contract with the Maine Department of
Environmental Protection JETCC receives and processes the registrations
for these courses and also provides a range of other administrative
services. To publicize these events, the Non-Point Source Training Center
distributes two newsletters with training schedules each year plus
periodic flyers. Participants in these classes include excavation
contractors, consultants, Code Enforcement Officers, Professional
Engineers, landscape designers, septic system installers, homeowners, as
well as personnel working on erosion control, road maintenance and
stormwater management plans.
