The Subsoil Salinity Tool (SST) Version 3.0 is a software tool used to assess, manage, and guide remediation of salinity impacts. It is an approved regulatory tool by Alberta Environment and Protected Areas (AEPA) and Alberta Energy Regulator (AER), and can be used to generate Tier 2A and 2B Subsoil Remediation Guidelines (SRGs) for chloride, SAR and sodium.
This 1 day online overview course will provide an overview of the Subsoil Salinity Tool (SST), and is intended for a range of audiences for whom a high-level understanding of salinity impacts and techniques for their investigation and remediation is important but who do not require specific formal certification. This could include producers, project managers, field investigators, representatives of various government or regulatory agencies, or a range of other positions. For those who require formal certification to use the SST and sign-off on assessments submitted to AEPA or AER, the full multi-day certification course (including exam) should be considered instead.
