Additionally, instructors will discuss performance monitoring of Southern New England I&A technologies, newly emerging soil treatment area options designed to remove nitrogen and the importance and reliability of rapid field tests to help monitor wastewater characteristics and system performance in real time. This popular, full day (8am-5pm) class has been designed to engage participants in the subject matter through small break out groups and discussion, and concludes with an engaging and fun round of wastewater jeopardy! 4 CEU's Class I-IV.
