Each year PASEO hosts Pennsylvania’s premier Conference and Trade Show for sewage enforcement officers. Last year’s attendance exceeded 200 attendees who participated in numerous educational sessions and networked with onsite wastewater manufacturers and service providers. PASEO invites you to attend another successful conference in 2019!

This year’s Annual Conference will be held on March 11-12, 2019, at the Red Lion Hotel, 4751 Lindle Road, Harrisburg, PA. Don’t pass up this opportunity to network with hundreds of SEOs all in one place! We have applied to PADEP for 4 SEO continuing education credits for the Annual Conference break-out sessions.

SEO Training Courses will be offered DURING the Annual Conference allowing you to maximize your CE credits over Monday/Tuesday at no additional charge.

PASEO is again offering a Western Conference on March 18, 2019. This conference will provide SEOs from the western part of the state an opportunity to network with peers closer to home. It will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, 101 Mall Blvd, Monroeville, PA 15146. We have applied to DEP for 2 SEO continuing education credits for the Western Conference.

PROSPECTIVE & NEW SEO TRACK:

This track is designed to give anyone who may be interested in becoming an SEO or who is newly Certified but does not “use their Certification” an overview of just what does an SEO does and the regulations that we all must work under. The number of Certified SEOs continues to decrease. This has created a void which can provide for a stable career path for many. As a professional organization whose mission is to advance the field in Pennsylvania, PASEO would like to see more choose sewage enforcement as a career.

SEO ESSENTIALS TRACK:

The sessions in this track are meant to help the SEO who has been in the profession for 1 to 5 years or has been certified for a long time but does not actual work in the profession on a daily basis. All too often newer SEOs only “work” with portions of the Act and may not interact with others. These sessions are design as a refresher as to the various parts of the role an SEO may play.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRACK:

This track is meant for the practicing SEO that has 5+ years of experience. The track is a combination of for credit training sessions which cover a variety of topics beneficial to those who interact with the public on the proper maintenance of

Annual Conference Tracks

The Annual Conference is broken up into five different tracks so that the instruction offered meets you at your educational need. You are not locked into a particular track, but some are more suitable for SEOs at different phases of their career.

sewage disposal systems. The SEOs role should go beyond simply issuing permits and enforcement actions. An SEO should be an educator, a source of information within their communities.

TECHNICAL SKILLS TRACK:

This track is meant for the practicing SEO that has 5+ years of experience. It will provide education of a more technical nature. Sessions will focus on tools, methods, and procedures that SEOs can apply during the performance of their job.

EXTRA TRAINING TRACK:

Extra SEO training courses that allow you extra options and extra topics to help round-out your learning experience at the Annual Conference.

NOTE ON TRAINING COURSES:

The SEO training courses offered during the Annual Conference are available at no additional cost. They are limited to the first 40 registrants. If you attend a training course, you will earn the designated number of SEO credits for that course. Sorry, no walk-ins on training courses - you must be pre-registered.

2019 Conference Session Descriptions

2019 Annual Conference & Trade Show | Harrisburg, PA

Monday, March 11, 2019

Opening Keynote: Time Management from SEOs – Manage Yourself Not Your Time

Christin Smith Myers, CRS Companies

There are only 24 hours in a day. How can you make the most of those hours, both at work and at

home? In this practical, energizing, customized program you will learn immediately applicable

strategies to help you increase your productivity and accomplish more while working smarter, not

harder.

Prospective SEO Track: The Role of an SEO

Chris Wood, Dingman Township; Rob Bowie, Bux-Mont Inspections

What is a sewage enforcement officer (SEO)? While is seems like a simple question, five SEOs will

give you five different answers. This simply means that you can decide the “type” of SEO work that

you want to do. This session will explore how SEOs interact within the communities that serve.

Essentials Track: ABC of Soils

Paul Golrick, Penn’s Trail Environmental

While each year we present a session on soils, it is typically geared toward the more seasoned SEO

who spends a considerable amount of time in the trenches, e.g. deep hole probes. This session is

more elementary in scope and geared to those SEOs that have little experience with soils. Brush up

on the essentials of understanding the role soil plays with onsite systems.

Professional Track: Managing & Growing Your Septic Business

Rhodes Wilson, A. Rhodes Wilson Wealth Management; Roger Lehmann, All County and Associates

Have you ever wondered how to take your certification to the next level? Do you want to become a

consulting SEO instead of a Local Agency SEO? Do you want to become an independent Local Agency

SEO instead of being a consulting SEO? If so, this session is for you. The session will explore all the

issues from marketing to accounting to insurance and beyond.

Technical Skills Track: Directional Boring

Christopher Root, Vermeer North Atlantic Sales and Service

Directional boring technology has evolved to the point that it is extremely accurate and cost

effective. It has many applications within the on-site sewage disposal industry, from crossing

streams and road, to cutting through rock, to working on very steep slopes between two given

points. The session is meant to give all a general outline of its benefits and limitations.

Page 7: REGISTER ONLINE at PA-SEO.org CONFERENCE...SEO credits for break-out sessions are awarded at a rate of one credit per half-day of sessions attended. You can mix-and-match break-out

Prospective SEO Track: Background of the Act 537 Program

Chris Wood, Dingman Township; Rob Bowie, Bux-Mont Inspections

All SEOs are bound to uphold and work within the framework as outlined in Sewage Facilities Act

(commonly known as Act 537) and the regulations created thereunder. This session will help

attendees better understand the purpose of the Act and the statutory structure and the obligations

it requires of those in the onsite wastewater industry.

Essentials Track: Sewage Facilities Planning

Deborah Sedlmeyer, Cambria County Sewage Enforcement Agency

A lot of SEOs do not interact with the Sewage Facilities Planning Module (SFPM) process, yet it is an

important part of the role an SEO participates in. Many newer SEOs reviewed the SFPM process as

part of the SEO academy in order to pass the certification exam and have not interacted with the

process since. Recent changes to the SFPM process brought about by Act 26 will be discussed.

Professional Track: Routine System Maintenance- It’s More Than Just Tank Pumping (PADEP training

course ID# pending-0005) & Advantex® Treatment Systems in PA – Maintenance Provisions for the SEO

(PADEP training course ID# pending-0005) 3 SEO Credits Total (applied)

maintenance is important and will review the key elements of sound operation and maintenance

such as inspection of all system components, tank pumping, efficient water use, proper waste

disposal, and protection of the absorption area. Homeowner education will be emphasized including

topics such as use of garbage disposals, tank additives, water softeners, and more.

Advantex Maintenance (Reed Johnson, Orenco) - The importance of system maintenance cannot be

overstated and is the key to long term system functioning. Acknowledging the fact that all systems

and all system components require maintenance, this short course on operation and maintenance

will focus on the Orenco Advantex Treatment System. The course will briefly summarize the Adantex

treatment system, how it works, and the current maintenance measures required in PA by the

system’s alternate listing. The course will then focus on more detailed maintenance activities that

are specific to the Advantex system.

Technical Skills Track: Utilizing Inspection Cameras & Locators

Gus Salles, Eastcom

Pipeline video inspection is a form of telepresence used to visually inspect the interiors of

pipelines. A common application is to determine the condition of small diameter sewer lines and

household connection pipes. This session will be a presentation on inspection cameras, pipe

locators, and best practices while utilizing them to evaluate an onlot septic system. Locating

equipment and a sewer camera will be on hand for demonstration purposes.

Extra Training Options Track: NORWECO Training (PADEP training course ID# 262-0013) 2 SEO Credits

Paul Cannon, NORWECO

In 2015 the combination of a Singulair ATU and the Bio-Film Reactor was established by

Pennsylvania DEP as alternative technology suitable for at-grade beds. Four years later the

combination of treatment has become one of the leading options in the state of Pennsylvania for

designers, contractors, homeowners and SEOs. 2019 is going to be a critical year to get these

technologies installed before regulations are changed, so come learn about this product and the

benefits of working with such a proven treatment system.

disposal design for permit issuance. There are a number of points that are common to all designs

that should addressed first during the review process.

Technical Skills Track: Proper Wastewater Sampling

Brian Oram, BF Environmental

When is wastewater sampling necessary and what are the appropriate procedures to take that

sample? This session will cover: determining where to sample wastewater; methods of sampling;

understanding chain of custody; what wastewater testing can tell you; communicating the results;

and, other topics.

Tuesday, March 12, 2019

Prospective SEO Track: Working as an SEO

Chris Wood, Dingman Township; Rob Bowie, Bux-Mont Inspections

Ultimately, one needs to decide if they wish to be a regulatory SEO who works for a Local Agency;

or, a Consultant SEO who works for private clients. This session will discuss and describe the

difference between the two and how you can incorporate those profession paths into your career.

Essentials Track: Enforcement

Professional Track: Perc Rite® Drip Dispersal Operation and Maintenance Overview (PADEP training

course ID# pending-0005) & Maintaining a Residential JET BAT Media Plant (PADEP training course ID #

pending-0005) 3 SEO Credits Total (applied)

Perc Rite Drip Dispersal O&M (Meghan Andress, PreDoc) - The importance of system maintenance

cannot be overstated and is the key to long term system functioning. The need for system

maintenance, meaning maintenance beyond pumping, is not unique to alternate systems but should

be performed on all types of onlot sewage treatment and dispersal systems. This short course on

system operation and maintenance will focus on the PercRite drip systems, both the drip systems

and the Micromound systems. The course will briefly summarize PercRite drip systems describing

their basic components and how/when they are used in PA, as well as the current maintenance

required in PA by the respective system’s alternate listing. The course will then focus on detailed

maintenance activities that are specific to the PercRite drip systems.

Maintaining a Residential JET BAT (Ed Schloss, JET) - The importance of maintaining all components

of an onlot sewage disposal system cannot be overemphasized. This short course will focus on

system operation and maintenance for a residential Jet BAT Media plant. The course will briefly

summarize the basic components and operation of the media plant and will then focus on detailed

maintenance activities that are specific to the Jet BAT media plant.

Technical Skills Track: PA One Call Enforcement

Jim Larkin, PA One Call Systems

The PA One Call law is now enforced by the PUC and is no longer under Labor and industry. The

PUC has instituted $2500 dollar fine for violation any part of the PA One Call law. The PUC put in

place a damage prevention committee (DPC) that decides who should be fined. The DPC can

demand that a company’s staff attend mandatory training at the company’s expense. Excavators
