INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — The 13th annual Workshops for Erosion Control Best Management Practices in the Tahoe Basin will be offered later this month. The workshops train and update contractors and do-it-yourselfers in proper BMP installation procedures for the Lake Tahoe Basin, featuring outdoor presentations, exhibits and activities in addition to indoor lectures.

An April 20 workshop takes place at the Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences in Incline Village from 8 a.m. to 4:50 p.m. and will focus on how to interpret a BMP site evaluation and install BMPs correctly in order to pass inspection.

A half-day refresher workshop, which reviews BMP installation and provides regulation updates, will be April 27 at the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency building in Stateline, from 8 a.m. to noon. To enroll in the refresher workshop, participants must have successfully completed either workshop within the past 2 years.
