Chapter 102 Training Clarification

Written by Shannon Wehinger on April 11, 2025. Posted in Clean Water Academy

In the April 7, 2025, issue of Front Page, we ran a story about Kelly Davidson, PACD Water Resources Trainer, capturing footage for the upcoming Chapter 102 Basic Technical Training using a drone. Just to clarify, Kelly is a licensed drone pilot and uses the drone to take videos of construction practices to use for staff training purposes only through the Clean Water Academy. 

The article was meant to celebrate Kelly getting her pilot’s license and let our members know we are working with the PA Department of Environmental Protection on planning the Chapter 102 Basic Technical Training. The training will be held in Harrisburg from May 19-23, 2025.

Drones are not being used for inspections, and training on using drones is not taught during Chapter 102 Basic Technical Training.
