-Workshop Attendee Review
Alabama Coastal Foundation partnered with the Alabama Nonpoint Pollution Control Program, Mobile and Baldwin County Health Departments, and the Alabama Onsite Water Board to host four workshops focused on Mobile and Baldwin county resedential septic tank maintenance and inspection education in May of 2020. If you have questions or would like to discuss this project further, please contact ACF Director Mark Berte at mberte@joinACF.org OR (251) 990-6002.
These free one-hour workshops educated the public about:
-
how to properly maintain your septic tanks;
-
about land use and non-point source pollutants; and,
-
upcoming projects, inspections, funding, and more!
We understand that not all of you could make the scheduled workshops, but we want to provide everyone a chance to learn about your septic tanks! ACF created videos of the workshops that you can watch whenever you have the time. They are about 50 minutes long and can be accessed by the clicking the following links:
