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.

SUMMARY:Lake Champlain Live
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nJoin us aboard the University of Vermont’s new state-of-the-art research vessel the R/V Marcelle Melosira for a hands-on glimpse into the science of Lake Champlain. This training will engage attendees in learning about the current condition of our state’s largest receiving water\, as well as how our work in the water and wastewater industry impacts aquatic ecosystems. While aboard the research vessel\, attendees will be guided by Watershed Educators as they learn about the unique properties of the lake and gather data that assists researchers in understanding the dynamic nature of the lake. We will learn about ongoing research\, gain experience with science on the lake\, and deepen our understanding of the interaction between the many physical\, biological\, chemical\, and cultural variables that contribute to the health of the lake and its watershed. \nClass Credit\n2 TCH (Water & Wastewater) \nLocation\nThe Rubenstein Ecosystem Science Laboratory is located on the back side of the ECHO Center on the waterfront. Attendees will be responsible for finding their own parking in Burlington. Paid parking is available at the city-owned parking lot across from the ECHO Center on a first-come-first-served basis. \nImportant Notes\nThis training takes place on the water and will be subject to cancellation if weather conditions are deemed unsafe. In the event of a cancellation up to the time of departure\, we will contact you via the phone number and e-mail address you registered with. \nPlease wear close-toed shoes and appropriate clothing to be away from shore for the duration of the training. Closed-toed shoes are required to board the vessel. Bring sunscreen\, water\, and anything else you may need for the trip. The R/V Marcelle Melosira does have a bathroom and sheltered cabin. \nInstructors\nLake Champlain Sea Grant Watershed Instructors \nProctor\nBrad Roy (Vermont Rural Water Association)

SUMMARY:Protective Coatings and Manhole Rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:Description\n \nThis training will cover protective coatings as well as inflow and infiltration solutions to extend the service life of water and wastewater infrastructure. During the first hour\, participants will learn about proper surface preparation\, coating selection based on substrate and chemical resistance\, and strategies to prevent premature corrosion in steel and concrete structures. It will walk through a clarifier project at a wastewater treatment plant\, a manhole rehabilitation project\, and a potable water storage tank project as well. \nThe second hour (which is only being offered for wastewater credit) will address identifying and correcting inflow and infiltration (I&I issues)\, including manhole rehabilitation techniques such as repairing mortars and epoxy linings to protect against hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) gas deterioration. Real-world case studies\, industry standards\, and cost-saving methods will be discussed to help operators improve system efficiency and longevity. \nPlease note that the first hour of this training will cover protective coatings and is applicable to both water and wastewater. The second half will review manhole rehabilitation which is applicable to mainly just wastewater operators. \nCredit\n1 TCH for Water\n2 TCH for Wastewater \nInstructor\nRick Goyette (Sherwin Williams Protective & Marine Division) \nProctor\nAllison Smith (Vermont Rural Water Association)
