Description

This class will focus on the NEIWPCC publication ‘The Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator’s guide to Biosolids Sampling Plans.’ This guidance document was created to help wastewater treatment plant operators develop a comprehensive sludge or biosolids sampling plan. Unlike other sludge sampling guidance documents that provide general recommendations, this guide was developed to be as specific as possible and provide easily adaptable worksheets and appendices that can be used to form an effective sludge sampling plan. Former NHDES WWEB Residuals Management Section Supervisor Michael Rainey will lead the class through the manual’s topics, including: proper sample collection, handling, and documentation procedures; laboratory and detection limit considerations; and data reporting. PFAS sampling considerations will also be discussed.

This course is sponsored by NEIWPCC in conjunction with the EPA and NHDES.
