About the Event
The Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (Tri-County) is hosting a training session with the Greater Lansing Regional Committee for Stormwater Management and the Groundwater Management Board on best management practices (BMPs) for road salt application to parking lots and sidewalks during and after winter storm events.
