Steps

  1. Fetch pca.state.mn.us/business-with-us/smart-salting-training for the MPCA Smart Salting training program overview
  2. Confirm Level 1 is an individual certification (Roads, Parking Lots & Sidewalks, or Rural Roads track) earned by passing a test at the end of a 5.5-hour training, valid for 5 years
  3. Confirm Level 2 is an organizational certification earned through the Smart Salting tool's winter maintenance assessment, valid for 2 years and renewed by resubmitting the assessment reports
  4. Note MPCA also runs a separate 'Smart Salting for property management' certification (3-year validity) and a 'Smart Salting for water softening' certification (4-year validity) — distinct tracks with their own durations, not variants of Level 1/Level 2
  5. Clarify to the client that Smart Salting certification is a training/BMP credential, separate from any liability-limitation law
