SUMMARY:Model Sewer Use Ordinance (SUO) and Fats\, Oils\, and Grease (FOG) Guidance
DESCRIPTION:Description  \nThis will be a two-part class that reviews Sewer Use Ordinances (SUO) and Fats\, Oils and Grease (FOG). The first part of this training will address Sewer Use Ordinances (SUO) by discussing the format and requirements that should be included in a strong SUO and providing example conditions and language to consider when updating your ordinance.

SUMMARY:Cybersecurity for Drinking Water & Wastewater Operators
DESCRIPTION:DescriptionCyber threats are a growing risk for Vermont’s water and wastewater systems\, but you don’t need to face them alone. In this interactive\, full-day training\, experts from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)\, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)\, and Norwich University Applied Research Institutes (NUARI) will provide insight into the specific cybersecurity risks facing Vermont utilities and equip operators  with practical tools to strengthen their defenses. \nCISA will walk through the most common vulnerabilities in the water sector and offer straightforward mitigation strategies you can apply right away. The FBI will share the latest intelligence on cyber threats targeting Vermont organizations\, including how attackers operate and how you can protect yourself and your utility. Then\, NUARI will deliver a training designed to reinforce the role of leadership in managing cyber risks\, highlight the operational impact of an incident\, and support towns and utilities in improving their cybersecurity readiness. The session will help clarify responsibilities\, strengthen internal communication\, and build confidence in decision-making before and during a cyber event. \nNote: NUARI’s training is funded by DHS/FEMA and is FREE to attend. Participants will also need to register through FEMA’s training platform. The link to that registration can be found here and will also be sent via email to participants upon registering for the training. \nDon’t miss this chance to strengthen your utility’s cybersecurity with guidance from national experts—space is limited! \nCredit6 TCH (Water & Wastewater) \nInstructorsLeah Bogdanowicz (FBI)Adam Gamelin and Gabe Palazzi (CISA)Instructors from Norwich University’s Applied Research Institutes \nLunchLunch will be provided for free\, sponsored by Pump Control Solutions\, LLC and Laramie Water Resources!

SUMMARY:Permit Required Confined Space Entry
DESCRIPTION:Water and wastewater facilities contain many confined spaces which can be dangerous to operators. We will discuss common confined spaces in water and wastewater facilities and the difference between a confined space and a permit-required confined space. This class will build awareness about the safety hazards of a confined space such as atmospheric hazards (hydrogen sulfide\, methane); mechanical hazards; and blood-borne pathogens that are a concern for wastewater collection system workers. You will learn about the proper protective equipment\, procedures for entry into a permit-required confined space\, the need for a rescue plan\, and how to rescue a co-worker if the situation arises.

SUMMARY:De-escalating High Intensity Situations
DESCRIPTION:Description\nVerbal de-escalation training is a valuable skillset that equips individuals with effective communication tools to navigate tense and potentially volatile situations. Mourning Fox’s training is dynamic and engaging\, no matter if this is a new topic for a participant or a well-seasoned clinician. He focuses on preventing violence through assessment and verbal interactions. Participants in this training gain skills and knowledge to help them to better identify who is at risk of becoming violent or aggressive\, and what the behavioral signs are that someone may be potentially assaultive. Participants learn skills and techniques that can help to de-escalate high intensity situations verbally. In addition\, he presents methods for improving staff communication around and during a crisis as well as the importance of documentation language. The role of respect as a protective factor is discussed throughout the training as well as some basic brain science that can impact our attempts at de-escalating a situation. \nMourning Fox uses information he has gained over the years as a Crisis Prevention Institute trainer\, a Non-Abusive Physical and Psychological Intervention trainer\, and as a Mental Health First Aid trainer combined with information he gained as a trained crisis negotiator working with law enforcement. This training ultimately aims to promote conflict resolution through dialogue\, creating safer and more harmonious interactions in various settings. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Water & Wastewater) \nInstructor\nMourning Fox (Caldera Associates\, LLC) \nProctor\nAllison Smith (Vermont Rural Water Association)

SUMMARY:Industrial User Surveys
DESCRIPTION:Description\nKnowing who is discharging to a municipal wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) and understanding what industrial users are discharging is becoming more and more critical to successful operation and troubleshooting for municipal WWTF operators. \nThis class will cover the basics of how to identify users and their discharges by using surveys. The instructors will include information on how to prepare and conduct a typical Clean Water Act National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)-compliant Industrial User Survey (IUS). An effective method of collecting data is using online survey tools. Basic instruction on how to set up and use a free SurveyMonkey account will be provided. \nThoughts for successfully getting useful survey responses will also be explored. After the hands-on survey development and review of typical results\, there will be a discussion on how information received can be used to understand changes that may be helpful to minimize the likelihood of upsets to the municipal system. \nImportant Notes \nThis training is intended to include a productive work session. It is most helpful (but not required) if you bring a computer or tablet capable of an internet connection. \nCredit\n4 TCH (Wastewater) \nInstructors\nHeidi Marchall and Nichole Davis (Hoyle\, Tanner & Associates\, Inc.) \nProctor\nElijah Lemieux (Vermont Rural Water Association) \nThis class is being provided free of charge by the City of Barre as part of the settlement of an enforcement action with the Agency of Natural Resources.
