This Non-Process course is intended for all operators and superintendents.
As a water or wastewater treatment superintendent, manager or operator, it is critical you understand the various types of legal liability you face while operating your systems, and the repercussions of your actions. This course will provide participants with an overview of the legal requirements of the Clean Water Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, and Maryland's water pollution and water supply laws, as well as additional requirements created by the courts and professional certification authorities. Attendees will leave with an understanding of the consequences of failing to meet statutory requirements and professional standards in their daily activities. This interactive course will explore issues through real-life examples of legal actions against facility staff and simulations of facility operations.
