SUMMARY:Introduction to Drinking Water
DESCRIPTION:Per NJ Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) regulations\, those seeking a Level 1 “T” (drinking water treatment) or “W” (drinking water distribution system) license must successfully complete an approved “Introduction to Water” course. This course is designed to familiarize attendees with the skills required for employment as a drinking water treatment or distribution system operator and to introduce them to the various equipment and processes routinely used in these facilities such as pumps\, valves\, tanks\, filters\, compressors\, blowers\, chemical feed systems\, etc. \nInstructors will discuss the physical\, mechanical\, chemical\, and biological processes involved in treating and distributing drinking water. The course will reinforce required math skills and discuss basic chemistry\, physics\, microbiology\, and hydraulics. Reading assignments for each class date will be taken from the NJDEP required textbooks published by the California State University at Sacramento. Additional handouts\, data sheets\, PowerPoint presentations and work sheets will be distributed throughout the term of the class; note taking is strongly encouraged. Regularly scheduled tests and quizzes are included in the agenda.

SUMMARY:EPA Tools & Resources Webinar: Lead (Pb) Overview and Data Mapping
DESCRIPTION:EPA reconstituted a leadership and operational structure for lead (Pb) this past summer\, affirming continued progress in reducing lead exposure across environmental media. EPA put forward approaches under Administrator Zeldin for actionable risk communication\, cooperative federalism\, and private sector innovation while continuing to work under the government-wide 2018 Federal Lead Action Plan and fulfilling its statutory authorities and responsibilities to reduce exposure to lead. \nMore specifically\, EPA recently developed a blueprint for identifying potential lead exposures through multimedia data mapping using a systematic\, flexible\, multi-step process. Central to the blueprint is the mapping approach using indices and models based on publicly available old housing and other indicator data. A case example will be provided to demonstrate how the blueprint has been applied in partnership with state governments. The identification of high priority areas and sources of lead exposure can support targeted investment to improve health. \nThis webinar will present both an overview of the Administration priorities for lead and a detailed look at this data mapping approach available now for states and partners to use. Presenters are the Agency Lead (Pb) Coordinator\, Sheila Xiah Kragie\, and Pb researcher\, Lindsay Stanek.
