Hexavalent Chrommium Treatment - Technical Tour
Technical Session and Tour
April 1, 2010....no fooling!
Erin Brockovich caused all this trouble- she made a bunch of money, but you will have to pay for it.... CADPH is in the process of creating a drinking water standard for hexavalent chromium. CA Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has proposed a Public Health Goal for hexavalent chromium at 0.06 ug/L, so the Maximum Contaminant Level is surely going to be much lower than the current chromium MCL of 50 ug/L. What are you going to do about it?
Fortunately, the City of Glendale, LADWP and other nearby water agencies took the lead to find ways to remove hexchrome from their groundwater several years ago. Through a series of thoughtfully-developed and creatively-funded projects, work progressed from lab to bench to pilot to full scale. As the work gets down to the operational level, and as California DPH considers its drinking water regulation, it is time for the Glendale story to be told.
The technical session will be followed by a separate, afternoon tour of the Glendale treatment facilities led by the speakers and others.
You Can't Afford Not to Be There!
Demonstrate the importance of
attending the 2010 Spring Conference
Justify Your Attendance!
In this economy, utilities and agencies are reviewing which expenses are justified and which can be slashed. Training is an essential expense to every company. Companies know a well-trained workforce is more efficient and resourceful. If you feel that the training you receive at Conference is worth the cost, then you'll probably need to justify it.
CA – NV AWWA Conferences are your resoure to vital drinking water information, from the latest technologies to the most up to date drinking water issues.
It’s not just a networking conference,
it’s a Training Conference, You Can't Afford to Miss!
When you propose a conference for approval, don’t focus on how much you want to go; focus on what you will specifically bring back to the organization a return for the investment. Some specific details you’ll need to identify include:
Session content
Sessions that have particular relevance to your utility's or agency's work
Sessions focusing on current challenges affecting your utility or coverage area
Tools (Pipes, Tanks, Valves, etc.)
Technologies (SCADA, Work Order Systems, etc.)
Vendor contacts
Prior to the Conference, list the vendors which will be showcasing the tools and services you use or are evaluating for potential future use
The Exhibit Hall is your opportunity to compare competing tools and services
Best practices
Prior to Conference, list the technical sessions that will immediately benefit your department and organization
Also include the valuable information to be gained from the Keynote Speaker
You understand the importance of attending the CA - NV AWWA Spring Conference but your manager may not. Below are documents you may find useful to justify your attendance. Use these documents as templates to demonstrate the importance of your attending. Keep that content that makes sense for your specific Utility or Agency and omit the rest.
When Conference is over, take the time to write down all that you have learned. One suggestion is to create a conference report. A conference report provides information that can be shared with people that did not attend the conference. Examples of information that can be included in your report are:
General conference information
Technical Session summaries
Keynote speech summaries
Exhibitor presentation summaries
Ideas to be used upon returning from the conference
Many attendees work on the conference report while still at the conference or during their trip home. This is when the information is freshest in your mind, so it makes the report much easier to write.
Some attendees return home and put together a presentation which they give to their departments to summarize key information from the conference.
