Did you know that 7.5% of the chlorides entering our water are from parking lot and sidewalk maintenance. In addition, sediment and other pollutants are linked to parking lot maintenance. It is possible to do excellent parking lot maintenance and reduce environmental impact! Fortin Consulting received a pollution prevention grant from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to develop a training class to reduce the environmental impacts of winter parking lot maintenance. With the expert assistance of Wendy Frederickson of MnDOT, Kathleen Schaefer of the Circuit Training and Assistance Program, and Tom Broadbent of Envirotech Services the first round of classes will be offered in the fall of 2005. This class is designed for the privately run company that does parking lot maintenance. Public works professionals may also take this class but some of the information you may have already heard in your winter road maintenance training classes. Contact Fortin Consulting for more information or to schedule a training class for your staff.
