SUMMARY:RCAC: Nitrates
DESCRIPTION:Description: Worldwide\, Nitrates are the most common chemical contaminant in groundwater aquifers. In 1980\, nine drinking water wells in California had unsafe levels of Nitrates. By 2007\, this acute contamination had spread to more than 648 wells. Nitrates continue to impact the health of California residents and the problem is only getting worse. This workshop will help you make informed decisions about mitigating this contaminant. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nWhat Nitrates are\nHow Nitrates get into drinking water\nThe acute health effects of Nitrate exposure\nHow to achieve compliance with Safe Drinking Water Act requirements for Nitrates\nAn overview of the most used Nitrate treatment technologies\nPractical considerations when choosing an Nitrate treatment system\n\nWho should attend: operators\, managers and board members that have an interest in providing nitrate-safe water to their customers. \nAccreditation: 2 California Drinking Water Contact Hours awarded. Contact hours have been approved for the Registered Environmental Health Specialist Program.

SUMMARY:RCAC: Arsenic
DESCRIPTION:Description: Since the arsenic maximum contaminant level was lowered from 50 ppb to 10 ppb in 2001\, water systems have been scrambling to comply with this more stringent standard. For many small water systems\, compliance with the Arsenic Rule has been a significant technological\, financial and operational challenge. \nThis online learning event is intended to provide a small water system with a “road-map” to Arsenic Rule compliance. We will begin with review of the requirements of the Arsenic Rule. We will then explore non-treatment options for compliance\, which are almost always less costly than treatment. We will then assess the pros and cons of several of the most common arsenic treatment technologies. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nThe health effects of arsenic in water\nNon-treatment options for Arsenic Rule compliance\nAn overview of the most used arsenic treatment technologies\nPractical considerations when choosing an arsenic treatment system\n\nWho should attend: operators\, managers and board members that have an interest in providing arsenic-safe water to their customers \nAccreditation: 2 California Drinking Water Contact Hours awarded. Contact hours have been approved for the Registered Environmental Health Specialist Program.

SUMMARY:RCAC: Do the Math 4-Part Series: Operator Math 301: Advanced Math Problems
DESCRIPTION:Description: At a minimum\, every public water system regardless of size and complexity requires a certified water distribution operator. In addition\, those systems using treatment also must have an operator that holds a water treatment operator certification. The most significant hurdle for many grade 1 and grade 2 operators in passing the operator certification exam\, however\, is the math portion of the test. Typically\, the math section of the certification exam constitutes about 35% of the total exam score so proficiency in math is necessary to pass the test. \nThe math included in the first three sessions is based on the expected-range-of-knowledge for the California distribution D1/D2 exams. Operator Math 301 is targeted to the grade 3/4 level exams. \nThe target learner for this training wants (and needs) one specific thing: the ability to accurately calculate operator certification exam math questions. Accordingly\, the learning event design focuses solely on this need. This training is not designed for “contact hours “or participant “entertainment”. This is a hands-on training with an expectation of continuous participation — working and answering math problems – throughout the entire session. \nWho should attend: operators and managers.  \nParticipants will learn: \n\nPressure and Head problems (multi conversion problems)\nChemical dosage problems (HTH and hypochlorite)\nPumping problems (horsepower)\nOdds and Ends (supply\, solution\, SCADA\, specific gravity)\n\nAccreditation: 2 California Drinking Water Contact Hours awarded.

SUMMARY:RCAC: Rate Setting & Financial Management
DESCRIPTION:Description: There are many responsibilities associated with water systems. Many residents\, board members and operators are not aware of the scope of a water system’s fiduciary responsibilities.

SUMMARY:RCAC: Creating Operation & Maintenance Plans
DESCRIPTION:Creating Operation & Maintenance Plans \nDate & Time: September 14\, 2022 | 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM  \nLocation: University of Merced\, Extension Education Building (2145 Wardrobe Ave. Merced\, CA 95341) \nDescription: Your only licensed operator has just left town due to a family emergency\, and handed you the phone number of a certified operator in the next town. Will the substitute operator know how your system works and what needs to be done on a daily basis to keep it safe and in compliance? A properly prepared Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Plan is one of a water purveyor’s most important documents. The O&M Plan is a “living” document that explains how a public water system is to be operated and maintained on a day-to-day basis to ensure public health\, safety\, and compliance with applicable regulations. In addition to being an important training tool for new staff\, the O&M manual serves as a practical handbook by which a qualified substitute operator can operate and maintain the system in a safe and reliable manner in absence of the system’s primary operator. This is a free training. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nThe vital elements that comprise an O&M Plan\nThe most important tools needed for developing an O&M Plan\nPolicies and procedures for keeping your O&M Plan updated\nFree resources and templates for developing O&M Plans\n\nWho should attend?: The recommended audience includes water system operators\, managers and maintenance staff. \nAccreditation: 6 California Drinking Water Contact Hours awarded. Contact hours have been approved for the Registered Environmental Health Specialist Program. Certificates will be available through your profile. \n

SUMMARY:RCAC: Do the Math 4-Part Series: Operator Math 102: The Basics
DESCRIPTION:The Do the Math 4-Part Series: \n\nSeptember 15 | Operator Math 201: Applied Math Problems 10:00AM-12:00PM | Click here to register\nSeptember 22 | Operator Math 301: Advanced Math Problems 10:00AM-12:00PM | Click here to register\n\nDescription: At a minimum\, every public water system regardless of size and complexity requires a certified water distribution operator. In addition\, those systems using treatment also must have an operator that holds a water treatment operator certification. The most significant hurdle for many grade 1 and grade 2 operators in passing the operator certification exam\, however\, is the math portion of the test. Typically\, the math section of the certification exam constitutes about 35% of the total exam score so proficiency in math is necessary to pass the test. \nThe math included in the first three sessions is based on the expected-range-of-knowledge for the California distribution D1/D2 exams. Operator Math 301 is targeted to the grade 3/4 level exams. \nThe target learner for this training wants (and needs) one specific thing: the ability to accurately calculate operator certification exam math questions. Accordingly\, the learning event design focuses solely on this need. This training is not designed for “contact hours “or participant “entertainment”. This is a hands-on training with an expectation of continuous participation — working and answering math problems – throughout the entire session. \nOperator Basics Series: The recommended audience includes operators and managers.  \nParticipants will learn how to calculate: \n\nArea of a circle\nArea of a rectangle\nVolume of a cylinder\nVolume of a rectangular tank\n\nAccreditation: 2 California Drinking Water Contact Hours awarded. Contact hours have been approved for the Registered Environmental Health Specialist Program.

SUMMARY:RCAC: Coliform Sampling Procedures
DESCRIPTION:Description: Sampling for total coliforms and E. coli in the water system is one of the most important things an operator can do. The new Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR) effective April 2016 affects every public water system. These revisions to the Total Coliform Rule will affect how operators and managers respond to total coliform positives (TC+) and require steps to analyze the integrity of the system as a result of positive samples. Investigation and corrective actions are at the forefront of the RTCR\, and knowing how to complete a level 1 assessment can be the difference between compliance and violation. This workshop will focus on reviewing triggers for level 1 and level 2 assessments and who is expected to perform them; how to conduct an assessment with examples and small group exercises. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nLearning topics gathered from Trainer\nNew procedures for the month following a TC+\nWhat to do if you have a positive E. coli result\nWhen an assessment of system is needed\nHow to complete a level 1 assessment of your system\nTips on system inspection/investigation\n\nAccreditation: 2 California Drinking Water Contract Hours awarded.

SUMMARY:RCAC: Storage & Distribution
DESCRIPTION:Storage & Distribution \nDate & Time: August 31\, 2022 | 2:00 – 4:00PM  \nDescription: This module presents the varying operation of water storage systems and distribution piping. The distribution and storage systems are the unrecognized backbone of any water system. However\, due to its inconspicuous nature\, problems are seldom realized\, and maintenance is seemingly nonexistent. The fact is that most bacteriological contamination takes place in the distribution system. This alone should be enough to warrant prudent maintenance of piping and valves and storage tanks in the system. Through purposeful flushing procedures and adequate planning\, system downtime can be minimized and water quality can be improved. This workshop will give participants the information and resources they need to understand proper operation and maintenance of their storage and distribution systems. This is a free training. \nParticipants will learn:  \n\nCommon components and types of water distribution system piping and storage\nMaintenance guidelines and programs that reduce long-term expenditures\nPossible pathways to reduce contamination\nInspection and record-keeping procedures that improve water quality\n\nRecommended Audience: system operators\, new board members and those considering becoming certified operators of a water system. \nLocation: This training will be hosted online on GoToTraining.  \nRegistration: You must be registered prior to the date of the close of registration to receive credit. https://www.events.rcac.org/assnfe/Cart.asp?Mode=SAVENEWCRS&mlUtil_EventID=3245&mlUtil_FeeID=3082&PID= \nAccreditation: 2 California Drinking Water Contact Hours units awarded
