Course Agenda (PDF)

Course Description:

This program explores the most common mistakes water and wastewater systems make using sodium hypochlorite and liquid-based de-chlorinating agents, and much more. The course will compare purchasing versus on-site disinfectant generation, and high-strength versus low-strength hypochlorite. Sulfite de-chlorination, vitamin C, hydrogen peroxide, and other de-chlorinating methodologies will be discussed. Participants will learn the importance of measuring delivered hypochlorite/de-chlorinating agent strength and rates of deterioration, and learn how to measure hypochlorite and dechlorination agents using hydrometers, refractometers, weight measurements and simple chemical tests. Learn how valuable simple pump dose calculations can be to minimize and maximize residuals, and why it is important to verify all pump settings via routine calibrations. This course will also explore chemical handling, safety, and some little-known precautions to take when storing and using liquid- based chlorination and de-chlorination compounds.

Course Agenda (PDF)

Course Description:

Water sector-specific ICS and NIMS training remains a priority need in New Jersey. This 1-day ICS and NIMS workshop will help water and wastewater utilities to better understand ICS, integrate with other first responders within an expanding ICS structure, and implement NIMS concepts and principles that will help utilities provide mutual aid and assistance to one another.

ICS, or the Incident Command System, is a standardized, on-scene, all hazard incident management concept. ICS allows its users to adopt an integrated organizational structure to match the complexities and demands of single or multiple incidents without being hindered by jurisdictional boundaries.

NIMS, or the National Incident Management System, is a consistent nationwide template that enables all government and non-governmental organizations to work together during domestic incidents. NIMS requires all agencies to use ICS when responding to incidents. The ICS/NIMS training will cover: • ICS basics • Unified and Area Command • The five principles of NIMS • Mutual Aid and training will cover: • ICS basics • Unified and Area Command • The five principles of NIMS • Mutual Aid and Assistance.

Small, medium and large water and wastewater service providers are considered first responders and should attend this training.

First, it is vital to understand ICS, as this incident management system is the national standard for responding to any incident anywhere in the U.S. Second, using ICS is required by NIMS. Third, understanding NIMS is an important step for establishing utility mutual aid networks. Finally, FEMA IS-100a (Introductory ICS) and IS-700a (NIMS, An Introduction) certifications will be available to all participants.

Course Agenda icon_acrobat

Course Description:
This class will train public works personnel, water operators and wastewater operators what to be aware of on the jobsite. Often the job requires entering dwellings or other buildings with no knowledge of what is going on inside the building. Clandestine Labs normally are sites for creating powerful illegal drugs, but they have also been found to be locations for bomb-making. Recent incidents in our region and our proximity to city centers and other areas that are known terror targets make this an issue of vital importance. Uninformed people can endanger themselves, as well as many others, by not knowing what the visible evidence means. This course teaches how to spot potential trouble and how to respond.
 Instructor:

Brendan Tobin has been a firefighter for more than 25 years with training in a wide variety of fire and rescue techniques on the local, county, state, and federal level. He has been teaching "Hidden Drug & Bomb Labs" for the past few years after being trained in the program at a FEMA facility in Anniston, Alabama. Brendan also works in our industry, handling safety, training, equipment operation and maintenance programs, and more for Jet Vac Inc. where he has worked since August of 2006 after spending 1996 to 2006 as a safety and engineering consultant in the auto industry.
