PRe-ConFeRenCe WoRksHoPs at tHe 2012 tRi-assoCiation ConFeRenCe1:00pm – 5:00pmrooms 201, 202, 203, and 204The 2012 Tri-Association Conference is updating the Pre-Conference Sessions this year to include a choice from six different hands-on workshops. Our intent is to provide several options to those that are looking for great-value, additional TRE training credits. The offerings on Tuesday afternoon this year are:1. Building an Asset Management Plan for Your Utility –

A “Hands-On” Approach (4 hours)2. Stormwater Regulations – When It Rains, It Pours (4

hours)3. Water Reuse – Overview of Maryland and National

Applications (2 hours)4. Hands on Sensor Maintenance Workshop (2 hours) 5. Hydrogen Sulfide – Impacts on Wastewater Treatment

(2 hours)6. FOG, Odor, Corrosion and the Collection System (2

hours)Each workshop offers interactive training, either through the use of expert panels with moderated questions, or by having a hands-on equipment training style presentation workshop. The intent is to provide a more thorough and concentrated training environment for our interested conference attendees. See additional descriptions of each workshop in the corresponding Tuesday timeslots.

TuesdAy, AugusT 28, 2012

Also new this year is that the Pre-Conference Workshops require specific registration, with a nominal registration fee. We are doing this to provide a better workshop environment for both the attendee and the trainers themselves. Accordingly, the Conference reserves the right to cancel workshops that do not have a minimum number of registered attendees. Attendees can either choose an alternate workshop or receive a refund of the pre-conference fee.

RooM 201 1:00 PM – 5:00 PMbuilding an Asset management Plan for your utility – A “Hands-on” Approachcourse # 5099-12-05Primary Trainer: Gage Muckleroy, gHd inc.$30 registration feeAsset management’s “tool bag” is comprised of literally hundreds of techniques and practices. Many of the practices and techniques that make up what is currently recognized as best practice – for example, “failure mode analysis” and “risk analysis” – have been around for decades. What is new is the management framework around which these practices are now organized. Best practice imposes structure and order to this extensive “tool bag.” This structure assists the manager in selecting the relevant processes and practices that are most cost effective at a given point in time and for a specific asset challenge. Successful management can be said to start with asking the right questions. Only by starting with the right questions can we find good

answers unique to the utility’s operating environment and its various asset classes. This framework answers five core questions about assets that all managers of infrastructure should continuously pose to their management teams:

• Question 1: What is the current state of my assets?

• Question 2: What is my required level of service?

• Question 3: Which assets are critical to sustained performance?

• Question 4: What are my best O&M and CIP investment strategies?

• Question 5: What is my best long-term funding strategy?

RooM 202 1:00 PM – 5:00 PMstormwater regulations – When it rains, it Pourscourse # 5100-12-05Primary Trainer: larry Jaworski, brown & caldwell$30 registration feeRegulations addressing stormwater discharges continue to evolve. It is clear that additional emphasis by regulatory agencies is being placed on controlling the quantity and quality of stormwater discharges into receiving waters. Recent developments include passage of Maryland House Bill 987 – “Stormwater Management - Watershed Protection and Restoration Program” that requires each county and municipality subject to a NPDES Phase 1 MS4 permit to establish an

annual stormwater remediation fee and local watershed protection and restoration fund. In addition, USEPA’s regulatory initiative to draft national stormwater regula-tions continues but at a greatly reduced pace with no clear date at this time for issuance of draft regulations. This Pre-Conference Workshop will address the current state of stormwater regulations and programs nation-ally and in the Tri-Association area specifically. Various speakers will discuss not only the regulatory horizon but specifically how local counties and municipalities are addressing stormwater issues.

RooM 203 1:00 PM – 3:00 PMWater reusecourse # 5101-12-05Primary Trainer: Brian aylaian, Aecom$15 registration feeThis course offers a general introduction and overview of the topic of water reuse nationally and more specifically within the state of Maryland, tailored towards opera-tions staff with limited experience on water reuse. The major topics covered in this course include drivers for reuse, regulations in the state of Maryland, treatment technologies, typical reuse applications and detailed case studies, health and safety concerns, operational issues, energy impacts and future trends. At the end of the workshop, an interactive discussion is conducted that takes the class through a hypothetical local reuse project which facilitates a review of all of the presented course content.

RooM 203 3:00 PM – 5:00 PMHands on sensor maintenance Workshop course # 5102-12-05Primary Trainer: daniel edwards$15 registration feeOnline sensors have become an integral component of many utilities’ operations throughout the water industry (both water and wastewater) and have been applied for many purposes, including but not limited to improving performance, saving chemical costs and providing warnings of contamination or upset events. In addition, sensors have been growing in cost and complexity and therefore preventative maintenance is becoming more important.

This workshop will focus on typical water and wastewater sensor maintenance through hands-on demonstrations and a short background on installa-tion requirements. The workshop will involve at least three sensor manufacturers which will rotate through different sensors. Each sensor will be discussed for 15-20 minutes during the 2 hour workshop, and will include pH/ORP, residual chlorine, turbidity, DO, nitrate, and a centralized multiparameter wet chemical analyzer for water and wastewater applications. At the end of this training, the participant will be able to identify the maintenance needs for a variety of sensors. In addition, the participant will be able to identify applications for sensors to improve process performance, save chemical costs and provide warn-ings of contamination or upset events.

RooM 204 1:00 PM – 3:00 PMHydrogen sulfide – impacts on Wastewater Treatmentcourse # 5103-12-05Primary Trainers: sorin schwartz, Hiram tanner, Barry lucas, dc Water$15 registration feeAt the end of this training, the participant will be able to know what Hydrogen Sulfide is and how it is formed. The participants will be given examples of how Hydrogen Sulfide can adversely impact wastewater collection systems. They will also be able to know how to monitor for Hydrogen Sulfide in the workplace and the health and safety hazards associ-ated with being exposed to it while working.

Outline:• What is hydrogen sulfide

and how is it formed?• Health and safety hazards• Impact on the collection system• Controlling odors• Questions and Answers

RooM 204 3:00 PM – 5:00 PMfog, odor, corrosion and the collection system course # 5104-12-05Primary Trainer: tim McComas, Kershner environmental Technologies, llc$15 registration feeThis course will discuss the causes, implication, and control strategies for fats, oil, and grease (FOG), odors and corrosion within the wastewater collection system. It will discuss how these issues arise and have changed over the years, ways in which they are measured and monitored, and the current control strategies that are being implemented to mitigate their impact.

Effective and efficient communication is critical to the Tri-Association member organizations and individuals. Every person at this conference is concerned with public health and the water

environment. Communication improvements are always beneficial for addressing these concerns, whether they are needed within the Utility organizations, or between the Utility and their customers, their engineering professionals, their construction contractors, and any other of the myriad of related companies. Mr. Hunt will instruct and entertain the Conference with his 20 years of insight into organizational observation, including the trials and tribulations of both poor and great communication styles.

Come ready to learn something about your organization and yourself, and be ready to leave with a smile and new ideas about how to make your work day better.
