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)

SUMMARY:Advanced WW Series: BOD\, ORP\, and Sludge Production
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis class examines substrate (BOD)\, degradation (metabolism) of substrate\, the form of degradation of substrate that is occurring using oxidation-reduction potential (ORP)\, and the growth of bacterial cells (sludge production). The class discusses the quantity (amount) and quality (type) of substrate that enter the treatment process and their fate as either degradation to non-polluting and less polluting wastes\, transformation to new bacterial cells\, removal of colloids and particulate material\, and pass-through as effluent BOD. The five basis bacterial pathways to BOD degradation and their consequences are presented. These pathways include the use of free molecular oxygen\, nitrate\, sulfate\, organic molecules (mixed acid fermentation)\, and methane production. The occurrence of any pathway in the degradation of substrate and its consequences to the treatment process can be detected by specific analytical measurements including the use of ORP and therefore used for process control and troubleshooting purposes. A significant consequence of the degradation of BOD is bacterial growth (sludge production) and operation measures to reduce sludge production are provided. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Wastewater) \nInstructor\nMichael Gerardi (Michael Gerardi & Associates\, LLC) \nProctor\nElijah Lemieux (Vermont Rural Water Association) \nAdvanced Wastewater Treatment Series \nThis class is part of the Advanced Wastewater Treatment Series.
