DESCRIPTION:
This course provides comprehensive instruction on pipe tapping techniques in the water and wastewater industry. Participants will learn about the different types of taps, common machines used, and the issues and maintenance associated with them. The course covers proper tapping techniques, including the use of saddles, and pipeline considerations. There will be a detailed demonstration of tapping and service line instruction, including valves, fittings, and connections. Hands-on sessions will allow participants to practice tapping using the B101, D-5, and EZ tap machines on 6” DIP and 6” C900 PVC pipes. By the end of the course, participants will have gained practical experience and knowledge to perform pipe tapping effectively and safely.

Pre-Conference: “The Coming Wave: 1,4-Dioxane Background, Treatment Strategies, and Waste-Stream Management Strategies”
Presented and sponsored by: H2M Architects & Engineers
Course Description:
This course provides a comprehensive understanding of 1,4-Dioxane, its treatment, and waste management strategies. It begins with a historical background, toxicology, and regulatory framework for 1,4-Dioxane. The course then discusses treatment alternatives and waste stream management. The final module focuses on real-world examples and lessons learned from the startup and commissioning of 1,4-Dioxane treatment systems. Participants will gain insights into the design criteria for treatment technologies and the implementation of UV/AOP treatment approaches. The training concludes with a review of lessons learned and a comparison between theoretical design targets and actual water quality outcomes.
Agenda:
8:00 – 9:00 AM Morning Refreshments and Sign-in
9:00 AM Training Begins
Module 1: “Historical Background, Toxicology, and Regulatory Framework for 1,4-Dioxane”
Duration: 70 minutes
Scope Narrative: Presenters will review the historical context for the invention of PFAS, its originally intended purposes and functions, and how it became ubiquitous in the natural aquatic environment. A survey of known information in the field of toxicology will be conducted, discussing NJDEP’s approach to testing and validating candidate primary contaminants and potential MCL’s – via its partner board, the NJ Drinking Water Quality Institute. This module will close with a synthesis of this background information into the current 1,4-Dioxane regulation enforce in NY State, and a dialogue about potential implementation in New Jersey.”
Break: 15 minutes
Module 2: “Treatment Alternatives and Waste Stream Management for 1,4-Dioxane”
Duration: 70 minutes
Scope Narrative: The presenting team will review the design criteria for candidate treatment technologies for removal and/or destruction of 1,4-Dioxane. The focal point of this module will be a description of the design parameters, boundary conditions, and water quality targets for the implementation of the UV/AOP treatment approach (combination of ultraviolet light and advanced oxidation process). A discussion will be conducted regarding management of treatment process waste mass flows.
Break: 15 minutes
Module 3: “Implementation Workshop – Discussion of Real-World Examples and Lessons Learned from Startup/Commissioning of 1,4-Dioxane Treatment”
Duration: 70 minutes
Scope Narrative: The presentation will close on a third module, focused on narratives of the process of due diligence, design, permitting, construction, and systems commissioning for actual, full-scale 1,4-Dioxane treatment systems. Several examples will be given, using various water qualities. A review will be conducted of lessons learned, and a comparison made between theoretical design targets and actual water quality outcomes, based on 1+ year of operating data.
