PEI Site Assessor's Course
This course is periodically offered, contingent on interest and demand. It teaches participants how to use Soil Survey maps to identify site-specific issues like poor drainage or high water tables, it also covers proper test-pit techniques as well as soil analysis according to the Canadian System of Soil Classification.
It includes practical skills such as identifying groundwater tables and bedrock, conducting in-situ permeability tests, and determining soil categories for land development or septic system design. The course also guides on determining septic system requirements and when septic fill is needed, culminating in an exam that, if passed, grants a PEI Site Assessor’s License, assuming compliance with governmental prerequisites and fees.
