WEF offers second round of wastewater security training
ALEXANDRIA, VA — The Water Environment Federation (WEF) is conducting a
series of wastewater security training seminars that run through May.
WEF said in a news release that the seminars are through a cooperative agreement
with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and will provide publicly
owned treatment works (POTWs) with necessary tools to initiate a vulnerability
assessment and develop a security plan designed for each utility's specific
needs.
The seminars will help wastewater utilities evaluate and determine approaches
for reducing their vulnerability to man-made threats and natural disasters, WEF
said.
Twelve workshops will focus on the VSAT wastewater, wastewater security training
software developed by the Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies (AMSA)
in collaboration with PA Consulting Group and Scientech Inc.
Participants, including POTW staff with the responsibility for security
planning, are encouraged to bring data from their own plant to initiate a
vulnerability assessment designed specifically for their circumstances, the
release said.
The training is free of charge to POTWs.
