(Time: 10:02) Video pulls in some linked "handouts" (see links below) to prepare staff for discussions with landowners during the initial parts of I&E. Statement of Work and O&M plans are briefly discussed. It summarizes the main criteria in a design by linking the training's topics back to the practice standards.

(Time: 14:06) Focuses on the underground outlet supporting practice and ties the outlet design into the basin design. Stage storage is explained and it touches on survey considerations. This section is more technical and promotes an understanding of the basic computations regardless of the design software used.

(Time: 12:02) Explains the three types of cross sections and how they each fit into the landscape and different farming operations.

The Basic WASCOB training series is a four-part video based on the original Basic WASCOB webinar presented in April from the Technical Training and Certification Program. The format is mostly a recorded PowerPoint. This course is intended for staff that are very new to the WASCOB practice and need to learn terminology, design concepts, and start to visualize how WASCOBs are laid out in the field. The goal is to build a base-level of knowledge to prepare staff for further classroom and field training opportunities.

How to install a soil wrap to function as a slope break for erosion control is the focus of this video for contractors and landowners in Central Minnesota and the Upper Midwest. Crow Wing SWCD, University of Minnesota Extension, Minnesota DNR, and Thirty Lakes Watershed District partnered to produce five instructional videos about shoreline best management practices.
