Wastewater Operation Education
Robin Deal & Jeremy Morgan of Hubbard Hall
Often metal finishing plant employees such as Maintenance Managers or those with similar skills are placed in charge of Wastewater Treatment Plant operation because of these unique skills. This can lead to the need to balance wastewater treatment with other responsibilities. Our presenters will show how proper WWT education will not only benefit the operator, but also ensure compliance, efficiency, and environmental stewardship.
Pending Stormwater Multi-Sector General Permit
Brian Morrill of GZA GeoEnvironmental
Brian will be talking about the proposed modifications to the new Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional (CII) General Permit, and changes proposed for the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP). It is estimated that, with the new revisions, as many as 3000 properties that were exempt from stormwater permitting requirements will now be included. These changes could include mandating quarterly PFAS monitoring in run off from metal finishers properties.
Atomic Absorption as a Compliance Tool
Eric Anderson of Buck Scientific
Eric will talk about Atomic Absorption Spectrometry analysis as a wastewater discharge compliance tool, as well as addressing it’s use in quality control of plating baths and coating thickness verification. In addition, this technology could have a use in surface preparation verification and hull cell studies.
