If your district has not already registered participants for one of these trainings, there is still room available at both locations. We encourage watershed district managers, maintenance personnel, inspectors, and board members involved in dam operations and inspections to attend the session most convenient for them.

The agenda outlining the topics that will be covered throughout the day, including O&M inspection policy updates, dam inspection report completion guidance (Form KS-ADS-8), NRCS O&M agreements, State Water Plan updates (Newton location), and the on-site field inspection component. Please plan to bring field clothes for the afternoon portion.

To assist with final meal counts and logistical planning, please let me know by Friday, February 20, 2026 which location your district plans to attend and how many representatives will be participating.
