Troubleshooting Onlot Systems: Training Course #214-0087Approved 6 SEO creditsAnnual Conference & Western ConferenceThis course will educate both regulatory and consulting SEOs by walking students through the process of investigating potential malfunctioning individual onlot septic systems up to the point of identifying the underlying cause(s). There will be a brief discussion on how to resolve common types of malfunctions in general terms, but will not focus on resolving malfunctions in any detail. Unresolved malfunctioning onlot systems can create a public health hazard, may contaminate the waters of the Commonwealth, and are a violation fo Act 537. This course will help provide SEOs with the tools necessary to identify and investigate potential malfunctions. At the end of this training, the participants will: have greater confidence in their overall approach to investigating possible malfunctions; be able to identify common causes of malfunctions; obtain skills for interviewing home owners about their septic system; and, understand how to conduct technical investigations of various systems components to include the building sewer, treatment tanks, distribution systems, and absorption areas.

Enforcement I: Training Course #207-0087Applied to DEP for 6 SEO creditsAnnual ConferenceThis course will define the term “enforcement” as it is used in the the Sewage Facilities Act and the regulations. It will review a range of available enforcement actions and the most appropriate times or circumstances to use them.

Attendees will learn the appropriate role of the SEO and others involved in enforcement actions as well as receive helpful tips, tools, and resources to assist SEOs in the enforcement process. This course will use real-life examples of how enforcement actions can be applied to actual SEO situations.

This course was not designed to debate the legal issues or ethics of sewage enforcement. It is simply a hands-on, nuts-and-bolts course designed to familiarize SEOs with the procedures and paperwork required to uphold the enforcement aspects of their jobs.

Morphological Soil Investigations &Pressure Distribution: Training Courses #110-0005 & #249-0005 Approved 6 SEO credits (combined)Annual ConferenceThis training day option consists of two half day courses each approved for 3 SEO credits.

Morphological Soil Investigation: A Guide for SEOsMany of the Alternate System Technologies require a morphological evaluation to be conducted by an approved soil scientist. It is important that the SEOs and soil scientists communicate effectively when undertaking these assessments on individual sites. This half day course provides technical soil information to help facilitiate effective communication between the SEO and soil scientist. The importance of morphological evaluations for siting onlot systems will be summarized, from basic soil characteristics through anthropogenic influences, and problem sites. The various components and reporting standards of a morphological investigation, including quality control, will be defined. This additional knowledge of soils will better equip the SEO in the review and permitting of various onlot sewage disposal systems, both conventional and alternate technologies.

Pressure Distribution: Understanding Demand Dosing, Time Dosing, and Flow EqualizationThis half day course will educate SEOs with the overall concept of dosing in pressure distribution systems and how dosing can promote long term functioning of the absorption areas. The course describes differences with demand dosing, time-dosing, and flow equalization, and presents the advantages and disadvantages of each. The course will review the overall dosing requirements for Ch. 73 pressure dosed systems and the alternate system listing for the use of flow equalization in PA. Typical design scenarios will be reviewed for demand and time dosing as well as for flow equalization situations, so that the SEO can acquire experience in reviewing and determining compliance with PA standards. Attendees will learn how various control panels are designed to facilitate dosing schemes and also to provide useful information for ongoing system operations. The use of standard spreadsheets will also be introduced to help facilitate SEO design reviews.

Each representative will discuss how their organization “fits into the puzzle” by outlining their respective activities & priorities. Attendees will gain a greater appreciation of the different professional aspects related to onsite wastewater management. Soil Morphology Joe Valentine, Consulting Soil Scientist This presentation shall focus on the soil morphology characteristics of color, texture, structure, consistency, and redox features. The session shall focus on the proper description of these soil characteristics and the genesis of the features with particular attention to how redox features form. All SEO’s should learn to describe the soil profile accurately as it is simply a language. Once we learn to consistently describe the soils we then can have meaningful discussions on the interpretations of the described features. This session should be beneficial to all SEO’s. Micromound Design & Review Meghan Andress, PreDoC SEOs will gain the necessary knowledge to accurately review a Drip Irrigation Micromound on-lot septic system. The SEO will be brought through a step by step calculation process in order to fully understand how a Micromound comes from numbers on a sheet of paper, to a properly installed on-lot septic system. This course will offer the SEO physical handouts and tools that he/she can use for future permit review. PSMA Inspection Standards Ray Erb, Thomas H. Erb & Sons Inc. Pennsylvania Septage Management Association (PSMA) instructor Ray Erb will provide an overview of the history of the PSMA inspection program.

The current procedures will be discussed with an introduction to some of the problems with the test and potential solutions. Right to Know Law for SEOs Alexandra Chiaruttini, Stock and Leader What is required of an SEO with respect to the documents you create and do they become "public records?" This session will review the fundamentals of the Right to Know Law as it pertains to on-lot decisions, enforcement and SEO work generally. SEOs will learn what documents they need to retain and in what form, what they may keep as 'confidential,' and when SEO records/documents should be provided to the local government entity. Soils Classification/Profile Descriptions Brian Oram, B. F. Environmental Consultants This presentation will provide my perspective on how to conduct an evaluation a soil profile and ultimately how characterize a site. The process includes compiling available background information for

the region and site, understanding the nature of the proposed use or activity, reviewing published information, using a landform perspective, using soil morphological analysis, and understanding the hydrological setting for the site. The process does not start or end at determining the depth to the limiting zone. During this short talk we will discuss soil surveys, online tools, soil horizonation, soil forming factors, terminology, and preparing informative soil descriptions. Micromound Construction Review Meghan Andress, PreDoC SEOs will gain the knowledge to properly inspect a Drip Irrigation Micromound on-lot septic system. The SEO will leave this course with a full understanding of the construction process as well as the inspection process of a Micromound on-lot septic system. SEO’s will be provided with installation checklists and outlines which will assist them in future site inspections. O&M: Who? What? When? Why? Where? How? Laurel Mueller, Soil Services Company & Randy Rosbach, Soil Services Company Maintenance of on-lot sewage disposal systems continues to be the often overlooked “missing link” for long-term successful operation. Laurel and Randy will cover: who holds the responsibility to maintain systems, what maintenance is appropriate for each component in the treatment train within each system type, recommended O&M frequency, the rationale for making O&M the property owner’s priority, and how SEO’s can become municipal ambassadors for an O&M program.

Soil as a Treatment Media Joe Valentine, Consulting Soil Scientist This presentation shall focus on the three dimensional soil pedon as a treatment media for on-lot waste water dispersal. As waste water passes through the soil, various aspects of soil play a part in the renovation of the waste water. Those aspects are the disciplines of: soil physics as it relates to saturated and unsaturated water flow and bulk density, soil biology, soil morphology and soil chemistry. This session will attempt to link these soil disciplines so that the attendees will we have a better understanding of waste water treatment by soil as a Living Filter. This session should be beneficial to all SEOs.
