SUMMARY:Webinar | Level 1 Assessment Performance and Reporting Part 2/2
DESCRIPTION:This course Level 1 Assessment Performance and Reporting Workshop is now offered as an online two-part series\, and is recommended to take both parts on the same day.  Part 1 will take place from 10:00am to 12:00pm and Part 2 will take place from 2:00pm to 4:00pm.  Please follow the link below to register.  Please click here if you would like to register for part 1. \nSampling for total coliforms and E. coli in the water system is one of the most important things an operator can do. The Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR)\, effective at the Federal level in April 2016\, requires compliance by every public water system even though California has not formally adopted a state specific RTCR. The revisions to the former Total Coliform Rule primarily address how operators and managers respond to total coliform positive samples and require steps to analyze the integrity of the system as a result of positive samples. Performing your own Level 1 assessment can save your system time and money. This workshop will focus on triggers for Level 1 and Level 2 assessments\, who is qualified to perform each\, and how to conduct a Level 1 Assessment with examples and exercises. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nRepeat sampling requirements\nFollow-up for a Total Coliform positive result\nFollow-up for an E. coli positive result\nTriggers and timing for required assessments\nHow to complete a Level 1 assessment of your system\nTips on system inspection/investigation\n\nFor questions on registration contact mailto:registration@rcac.org  or Training Dept. at 916-447-9832 x 1429.

SUMMARY:Webinar | Storage and Distribution
DESCRIPTION:This module presents the wide aspects and 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. \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 of and how to reduce contamination\nInspection and record-keeping procedures that improve water quality\n\n  \nThis workshop will give participants the information and resources they need to understand proper operation and maintenance of their storage and distribution systems. \n2 CA (Drinking Water) Contact hours awarded.\nCertificates for Contact hours are available through your profile. Times listed are Pacific Time.\nPriority attendance will be given to those from smaller water systems. \nContact hours have been approved for the registered environmental health specialist program \nFor registration questions\, contact us at: registration@rcac.org • (916) 447-9832 ext. 1429

SUMMARY:Webinar | Disinfection By-Products Rule Part 2/2
DESCRIPTION:This course Disinfection By-Products Rule Workshop is now offered as an online two-part series\, and is recommended to take both parts on the same day.  Part 1 will take place from 10:00am to 12:00pm and Part 2 will take place from 2:00pm to 4:00pm.  Please follow the link below to register.  Please click here if you would like to register for part 1. \nCertain commonly used drinking water disinfectants can react with naturally occurring materials in the water to form disinfection by-products (DBPs)\, which may pose long-term health risks. The Long-Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR) and the Stage 2 Disinfection By-Product Rule (DBPR) are the second phase of regulations meant to strengthen protection against microbial contaminants\, and at the same time reduce the potential health risks of DBPs. This workshop will examine the factors and causes of DBP formation and the regulatory framework of the Stage 1 and Stage 2 DBPR. \nParticipants will learn: \n • The differences between the Stage 1 and Stage 2 rules \n• How to calculate Locational Running Annual Averages (LRAA) and flow-  weighted averaging for compliance reporting \n• How to identify a Combined Distribution System (CDS) and whether it applies to you \n• Alternative disinfectants and application practices that may reduce or eliminate DBP formation \nFor registration questions\, contact us at: registration@rcac.org• (916) 447-9832 ext. 1429

SUMMARY:Webinar | EPA Indoor Air Quality Science: Indoor Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:We spend 90% of our time indoors where we are exposed to a complex mixture of chemicals and diverse microbial communities. Both indoor chemistry and microbes are influenced by excess moisture in homes\, and this dampness is associated with negative human health effects. The goal of this webinar is to elucidate how elevated relative humidity in housing can influence both indoor chemistry and microbiology. This work focuses on carpet and dust\, which are important reservoirs for human exposure. \nYou can register here now!

SUMMARY:Webinar | NOW+NEXT: Sandworm Cybersecurity
DESCRIPTION:In December of 2015 and 2016\, malicious cyber actors\, unknown to the world at the time\, launched a series of cyberattacks against civilian-owned and operated operational technology (OT) and industrial controls systems (ICS) in Ukraine’s critical infrastructure. These attacks disabled the electricity grid across the country\, turning out the lights and heat in the middle of a Ukrainian winter for hundreds of thousands of men\, women\, and children. From there\, the attack\, leveraging NotPetya malware\, spread across the globe\, impacting companies’ ability to provide critical public services such as transportation and health from Kyiv to Amsterdam to Heritage Valley\, Pennsylvania. Much has been written about the hacking group we now call Sandworm (see Sandworm: A New Era of Cyberwar and the Hunt for the Kremlin’s Most Dangerous Hackers by Andy Greenberg). Researchers\, some of whom are joining for today’s panel discussion\, traced several other high-profile attacks to the Sandworm team going back several years. In this program\, panelists will discuss Sandworm and the Russian governments’ worldwide cyber-enabled campaign to destabilize and interfere with critical economic systems of other countries\, the importance of government and critical infrastructure to work together to combat Sandworm and other APT actors\, and how organizations can mitigate the risk of future attacks like NotPetya.

SUMMARY:Webinar | SARS CoV-2 in Wastewater Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:The EPA’s Office of Research and Development invites you to a free webinar! \nAs part of their water research webinar series the US EPA invites you join them for a discussion of SARS CoV-2 in Wastewater Monitoring: Linking Research and Application to Meet Immediate Needs. \nWidespread studies conducted national and globally indicate that genes specific to SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus that causes COVID-19) can be detected in wastewater. The ability to collectively sample both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals has lead dozens of states\, cities\, and universities to actively monitor wastewater to inform public health decisions. The clarity of the reflection of community prevalence of infection within the mirror of wastewater can be distorted by several factors\, including variation in analytical detection methods\, decay and dilution of viral genes during wastewater transport\, and imprecision in relating the wastewater signal to other imperfect measures of community infection rates. \nThis webinar will focus on the following collaborative efforts of EPA’s SARS-CoV-2 wastewater monitoring research team to reduce uncertainties:\n• Method development within the lab.\n• Application in sewersheds with distinctive levels of industrial and stormwater impacts–in coordination\nwith the Cincinnati Metropolitan Sewer District.\n• Development of a wastewater surveillance systems in Ohio–in support of the Ohio Department\nof Health.
