AGENDAThis program is designed to provide an in-depth look at pandemic influenza and provide information and training on what each individual, community, and public or private organization can do to prepare. Participants will go through the Pan-demic Influenza Ambassador Program developed in conjunction with the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Illinois Faith-Based Emergency Prepared-ness Initiative. Presentation topics will include:

• A brief history of pandemics including H5N1 “bird flu” and H1N1 “Swine Flu”• The definition of a pandemic and the differences between pandemic and seasonal flu• The past and potential future impact of a pandemic on business and the economy • The potential impact of a pandemic on the health system and community • The role of the individual, the government, healthcare, and private sectors • Planning and preparation steps for individuals at home and in the workplace• Pandemic Countermeasures: the role of hygiene and medical interventions • Planning resources • Why a flu pandemic should concern everyone• How flu germs spread - and how you can avoid getting or spreading them • Planning and preparation steps you can take

You probably have a disaster plan for your water utility, but a pandemic is a differ-ent kind of disaster. Now is the time to do additional planning so you are ready if this kind of disaster should strike. Here are some scenarios to consider:

• How will your utility operate if you are not there due to sickness or quarantine? • What about other key members of your staff?• What will you do if members of your family are extremely sick? What about staff member’s families?• What will you do if some staff members refuse to report to work even though they are not sick?• Are you able to operate some of your utility remotely?• What if it becomes difficult to receive chemical deliveries on time due to truck driver shortages?• What if a crucial piece of equipment needs immediate maintenance? Have you developed a list of electrical, mechanical, and other vendors that will respond to an emergency? What if that vendor has a large number of employees out due to sickness?

These are examples of pandemic planning that you must do before this kind of disaster become a reality.

AGENDAIllinois EPA began its Source Water Assessment Program in 1997 in response to amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act. These amendments require States to assess all sources of public drinking water. Assessments consist of the delinea-tion of a Source Water Protection Area for each source of drinking water, an inven-tory of potential sources of contamination within the area, a determination of the source’s susceptibility to contamination and a plan to make the assessments available to the public. Illinois was one of the first States to have an approved Source Water Assessment Program.

As part of the Source Water Protection Program, Illinois EPA has developed a web-based interactive GIS mapserver. This site is based on ESRI’s ArcIMS software and will allow the user to access all the databases and coverages used in the Source Water Assessments, as well as additional information such as pumpage data, land use data, and aerial photos. The website is secure and requires the user to complete and submit a Confidentiality Agreement to gain access.

Since its inception the SWAP mapserver has expanded to include data layers for Groundwater Ordinances, water quality information from the Illinois State Water Survey and more. This information is used by by Illinois EPA personnel to conduct site evaluations and assessments for several different programs including the Leaking Underground Storage Tank program, Contaminant Evaluation Group, Site Remediation Referal Group and the Permit Sections of both the Bureau of Land and Bureau of Water. Training will consist of “hands-on” instruction of how to perform well surveys, search for potential sources of contamination and an overview of data available on the site.

SPEAkERSWade Boring, Illinois EPAWade has been an employee of Illinois EPA since 1985 and Manager of the Geo-graphic Analysis Unit in the Groundwater Section of the Division of Public Water Supplies since 2000.

Wade has been working with GIS (Geographic Information Systems) since 1989 and has watched it evolve from a simple single user technology to the advanced multi user and web based technologies of today. The Geographic Analysis Unit is responsible for maintaining the GIS data on the Agency’s internet mapserver as well as providing maps and data in support of numerous other programs. In addition, the Geographic Analysis Unit conducts groundwater monitoring for the Section’s Ambient Sampling Network.

AGENDAOptimization can be defined as finding the best solution to a problem from a wide range of possible solutions. When applied to water distribution and wastewater collection systems, it means finding those solutions that are not only hydraulically viable but also least costly. This seminar will provide attendees with an understanding of optimization, how it works, and its applications in the realms of planning, operations, and emergency response.

The format of the seminar will be a mix of lecture, group discussion, and hands-on experimentation. The following topics will be presented and discussed:

• What optimization is; different types of optimization techniques and their best uses• Optimization’s value in water distribution and wastewater collection planning• Hydraulic models and their role in the optimization process• Traditional versus Optimized Capital Improvement Plans

Applications:• Optimization for short and long-term planning• Optimization for operations• Optimization for emergency scenarios• Assessing criticality in pipe rehabilitation and optimizing replacement planning• Enhancing system reliability/redundancy using optimization

HIGH-TECH OPERATOR CERTIfICATE PROGRAMThis certificate program is aimed at developing operators with a fundamental level of understanding of the high technologies used in the water utility field.The program consists of three (3) two-day courses of training. The content of the 3 training course packages are split 2/3 technical training and 1/3 managerial training.

ORGANIZATIONThe program is divided among three (3) two-day specialized courses. Each course addresses one general subject area. Course 1 covers process monitoring and control of water treatment and distribution systems. Course 2 covers high-tech applications and tools used throughout treatment and distribution systems. Course 3 covers methods for managing water utility information. Participants must complete all 3 courses within the program to earn a certificate of a High Tech Operator. Courses 2 and 3 will be available at a later date TBD.

CERTIfICATE Of COMPLETIONAWWA will award a Certificate of Completion for the completion of all threetwo-day courses that encompass the High-Tech Operator Certificate Program.The certificate will reflect AWWA’s name and address, the participant’s name, the program, the number of hours, and the date of completion

COURSE 1 – TREATMENT/DISTRIBUTION – PROCESS MONITORING & CONTROLThis course addresses the devices used to monitor and control processes and equipment in water treatment and distribution systems. The course begins with an overview of device symbols and how they are used to represent systems…then relates those symbols to real world devices.

The course then looks at how a Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition(SCADA) system connects to sensors, analyzers, and control devices. The course looks at the components of SCADA system, the facilities/environment the system requires, and the benefits it provides.

Participants will receive a glossary of terms; drawing symbols and naming stan-dards; sample diagrams; descriptions of sensors, analyzers, control devices, and SCADA system components; features of SCADA systems; and references for find-ing additional information.

LESSONS1.1 Measurement and control symbols, nomenclature, and drawing conventions1.2 Sensing devices (e.g., flow, pressure, level, temperature)1.3 On-line analyzers (e.g., pH, chlorine)1.4 Control devices (e.g., actuators, switches, relays)1.5 Logic circuits, symbols, and conventions1.6 SCADA systems – function/operation (master units, PLCs, RTUs, historians)1.7 Control modes1.8 Tracking process performance (e.g., reporting, trending)1.9 Alarm management1.10 Standards (e.g., ISA.)1.11 Control rooms, environments, enclosures
