WaterQualityProtectors!
Welcome to WITtec 2017
We hope you will plan to join us over the 3-day WITtec con-ference as it explores the Anatomy of Compliance which is the conference theme this year and find a session of interest to you. Newly added this year on Tuesday is an Ad-vanced Surface Finishing Pollu-tion Prevention session. Wednesday after the technical
courses end exhibits will open at 4:00 pm with a Meet and Greet prior to the evening dinner program. As customary, the concurrent sessions (Industrial and Municipal), in which attendees may choose any topic is on Thursday along with the exhibit show.
Legal Briefing
Legal Briefing is a discussion that will take place at WITtec during the Hot Topics April 5 session, You won’t want to miss always a favorite Michael Scanlon, Attorney as he presents dilemmas in wastewater operations.
New courses have been added for your increased choice of where to spend your time.
Committee Chairman Welcomes Attendees As the IIOA Conference continues to grow, so does our ambition to attract and secure the best speakers to fulfill the needs of our membership. This year the Pretreatment Committee will present its Certified Pretreatment Coordina-tor's Course. Speakers from EPA, IDEM, and around the state will pre-sent on a wide variety of topics, including crimi-nal investigations, industrial user surveys, FOG programs, and more. I believe Coordinators of pretreatment programs, small and large, will find these programs of great value. As always, the WITtec Conference and the IWEA Conference provide an excellent oppor-tunity to network with your peers. It also pro-
vides an excellent opportunity to converse with those we are required to regulate in a neutral setting. I en-courage all of us to build strong re-lationships with industrial operators, helping to strengthen pretreatment programs across the state.

An Important Concern to our Industry
We are seeing a steady exodus of our licensed operators from
the workplace. As they re re, they leave a void of experience
that is becoming increasingly difficult to fill. In order to fill
some of the jobs requiring more experienced operators we
are tapping into the re rees to help out. In some cases oper‐
ators are simply switching to another employer which further
exacerbates the problem and only works for the few in the
short term.
There has to be a be er effort from all of us to recruit young‐
er people into this industry. Many operators have told me
the boss says you can re re when you find and train your
replacement. As harsh as that may sound it is o en the case.
In some ways the lack of trainees in our industry is the failing
of our managers and company owners to recognize the need
to hire and train in these cri cal areas. One of our founders
who provided the seed money for the IIOA to establish stated
his reason for doing so was so his company would have oper‐
ators when they needed them. Founder Bill Turner saw the
need 22 years ago and acted on it.
The students in our community colleges do not find our in‐
dustry very a rac ve. We compete with glamorized careers
on television like crime scene inves gators, fire figh ng
shows, hospital and police shows even though some of those
careers are difficult to enter or do not have a large number of
openings. And thus our numbers cannot be sustained.
IWEA members have historically gone into the high school
classroom and even middle schools to introduce youth to this
industry. IIOA focused its educa on outreach efforts on ele‐
mentary students for several years. And yet here we find our‐
selves in this predicament today.
The IIOA has a mentoring program that has been very suc‐
cessful in helping operators prepare for the state license ex‐
ams. Again, with the IDEM appren ce programs anyone can
sit for any exam. We may have to look to other candidates
such as engineers whom have a discipline and educa on ex‐
perience that lends itself to faster success in the program.
It is me for each one of us to act. We should talk to our
leaders about hiring appren ces and emphasize the need for
more (more than one) licensed operators in our companies.
If you want to comment on this problem and offer any solu‐
on, then email mar [email protected] with your sugges ons.

Determine Tank Volume
Gallons = cubic feet x 7.48
Rectangular Tank, cu. . = length, . x width, . x height,
.
Cylindrical Tank, cu. . = 3.14 x radius2 . x height. .
Radius = ½ of the diameter
Calculate the volume in gallons of the following tanks:
a. 15’ long by 5’ wide by 4.5’ deep
b. 20’ long by 6’ wide by 4’ deep
c. 120’ diameter by 10’ high

Determine Efficiency
% = in – out x 100
in
Determine the efficiency of these
systems:
a. influent = 360mg/l of nickel,
effluent = 2.1 mg/l of nickel
b. influent = 490,900 mg/l of solids,
effluent = 170 mg/l of solids
“Do the Math”
The effluent from a treatment plant is
150,000 gpd and contains 0.02 mg/l of
Copper. How much copper (pounds/
day) is discharged?
A 1,000 ml “jar test” takes 1.3 mls. of
mixed polymer solu on to make a
good se ling floc. What (mls/min)
should the metering pump deliver if
the influent flow into the wastewater
treatment system is 30 gpm?
