Program Details
This popular annual event has been hosted since 2005 in partnership with the American Excelsior Company ErosionLab, located in Rice Lake, WI and is one of only a few erosion control testing laboratories in the U.S. We’ll miss being in Rice Lake, but look forward to bringing you the same high-quality, low-cost education virtually this year!

The program will be hosted on Zoom and will not require attendees to create a Zoom account. One week prior to the event, we will send confirmation of the event start time, program link and password.

Confirmed Topics/Speakers Include:

• Why are we here…. Water in Wisconsin, Paul McGinley, UW-Extension/UW-Stevens Point
  Water in Wisconsin is an important and valuable resource. Ensuring that it continues to provide the recreational and economic opportunities Wisconsin relies on requires that we understand the science behind it and continue to improve technologies to maintain and preserve it. This presentation will try to briefly explore how stormwater and erosion control are connected to the story of water in Wisconsin.
• Perimeter Control and Ditch Checks, Peter Tonn, Silt Sock
• Erosion Control Technology Council Installation, Kurt Kelsey, American Excelsior Company
• Dam or Filter – What’s the Difference When it Comes to Sediment Control? Craig Shultz, American Excelsior Company
• DNR Technical Standards Update, Eric Rortvedt, Wisconsin DNR
  An overview of the updated Dewatering Practices for Sediment Control Standard 1061 and the new Proprietary Storm Water Filtration Devices Standard 1010 will be given.  An introduction to the new DNR Transportation Liaison to WisDOT will be also included.
• Introducing Your New DNR/DOT Liaison- Cami Peterson
• Steep Slope Stabilization with Native Vegetation Utilizing Biotic Soil Amendments, Clay Frazer, Eco-Resource Consulting, Inc. & Kendall Kulig, Kulig Contracting LLC
  This presentation will outline the process of establishing deep-rooted native perennial vegetation in a compressed timeframe within highly erodible and significantly depleted soil conditions. Frazer and Kulig will discuss optimal methods of site preparation, seed and nurse crop installation, and maintenance of native vegetation with the use of Biotic Soil Amendments applied hydraulically in conjunction with specialized erosion control products. Several collaborative slope stabilization projects will be reviewed and the unique challenges that existed on each project will be explored.
• Erosion Control Project Cycle: A Field-Follow of the Monona Grove Elementary School, Mike Hackel, Homburg Contractors, Inc.
  A presentation covering the full project cycle of a medium-sized earthmoving project as it relates to erosion control.
