You will learn:
• Biology and Key Process Controls

• Air Quality and Odor Control
• Water Quality and Stormwater
Management
• Compost Quality
• Permitting and regulations
• Product Markets and Marketing
• Safe Operations
• and you’ll have fun doing it!
Whether you’re just getting started or been
at for a while, this is the class for you.
You’ll not only get lectures from top experts,
you’ll get to practice what you learn
through indoor and outdoor activities. Plus
you’ll get to visit local facilities and see how
the theory gets put into practice
