Arsenic Symposium

This symposium will provide participants with information on Arsenic and Nitrate treatment alternatives, performance, operation and maintenance costs, and Arsenic removal case studies. USEPA dropped the Maximum Contaminant Level for Arsenic in drinking water to 10 ppb in 2006, and water systems are still struggling to comply with this lower standard today. In 1980, nine drinking water wells in California had unsafe levels of Nitrates. By 2007, Nitrate contamination had spread to over 648 wells. Nitrates continue to impact the health of California residents and the problem is only getting worse.

This workshop will give water system operators, managers and board members the tools they will need to make informed decisions when addressing ways to achieve compliance for these contaminants.

Participants will learn:

• What Nitrates and Arsenic are
• How Nitrates get into drinking water
• Testing and modifying groundwater wells to reduce contaminant levels
• Ways to comply with SDWA requirements for Arsenic and Nitrates without installing treatment equipment
• The acute health effects of Arsenic and Nitrate exposure
• Effective treatment technologies
