Course Description


EPA100 - Emergency Response to Contamination of Wastewater Systems - 16.00 Hours

Prerequisites

None

Description

This workshop will introduce participants to the Wastewater Response Protocol Toolbox (Toolbox), a new guidance tool being released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Toolbox addresses planning for and responding to incidents of intentional and accidental contamination of wastewater systems.

This workshop is a combination of facilitated discussion (Day 1) and extended classroom activity (Day 2). The discussion portion is designed to introduce and explain the concepts of the Toolbox. During the classroom activity, a simple tabletop exercise is conducted to simulate the actions that participants would take during a real incident. The participants are divided into functional groups based upon their real life job responsibilities. These groups are then given a wastewater incident to respond to, with information provided as the mock incident unfolds in real time. The groups communicate by radio and work to respond to the incident in a manner consistent with the Toolbox.
