SUMMARY:Small\, High-Strength Dischargers
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis class will discuss issues with small\, high-strength wastewater dischargers—which do not need Pretreatment Discharge Permits from the Agency of Natural Resources—and their potential impacts on wastewater treatment facilities. The class will provide information on pollutants discharged from these businesses\, how these discharges are typically controlled and their potential impacts on the wastewater treatment facilities. You will receive detailed guidance on how to inspect and sample these dischargers. We will discuss how to reduce their impacts\, tips to help these businesses to control their discharges\, and how to coordinate with the Agency if the discharge becomes problematic. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Wastewater) \nInstructor\nRandy Bean \nProctor\nWayne Graham (Vermont Rural Water Association)

SUMMARY:Safety: Focus Four Hazards
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis class introduces water resource workers to OSHA’s Focus Four Hazards: falls\, struck-by incidents\, electrocution\, and caught in/caught between incidents. These are among the leading causes of serious injuries and fatalities for construction workers. Through practical examples\, participants will learn how to recognize common risks involving elevated work areas\, moving or falling objects\, electrical sources\, machinery\, and excavations. The class also covers essential prevention measures\, including fall protection systems\, safe equipment and vehicle practices\, electrical safeguards\, lockout/tagout procedures\, and trench protective systems. By the end of the class\, participants will be better prepared to identify hazards\, apply appropriate controls\, and support a safer work environment. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Water & Wastewater)\nWater Treatment Category 3\, Distribution Category 1 | Learn more \nInstructor\nPaula Jackson (Vermont Rural Water Association)

SUMMARY:Water Treatment: Microbiology
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis class looks at different types of microorganisms found in drinking water sources or that could possibly enter drinking water through water system vulnerabilities. Participants will learn about different types of microorganisms and their health effects. We will look at where microbes come from\, how they enter drinking water systems\, and how to protect drinking water systems from these microorganisms. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Water)\nWater Treatment Category 1\, Distribution Category 1 | Learn more \nInstructor\nPaula Jackson (Vermont Rural Water Association)

SUMMARY:Water Treatment: Disinfection
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis class provides basic training in drinking water disinfection\, focusing on the principles and practices used to destroy or inactivate pathogenic microorganisms and protect public health. Participants will distinguish disinfection from sterilization; examine chemical treatment methods—including chlorine gas\, sodium hypochlorite\, chloramines\, chlorine dioxide\, ozone\, breakpoint chlorination\, and dosing systems—and explore physical alternatives such as ultraviolet radiation. The class also addresses disinfection byproducts\, residual management in distribution systems\, operational water-quality parameters\, regulatory compliance\, and safe chemical handling. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Water)\nWater Treatment Category 2\, Distribution Category 2 | Learn more \nInstructor\nPaula Jackson (Vermont Rural Water Association)
