Objectives

• By the end of this Course participants will be able to:
• Understand how sampling is used to monitor for compliance with regulations for water and wastewater effluent.
• Understand common sampling methods and procedures including grab samples, composite samples, and automatic sampler tools, and how to determine which procedure is appropriate based on the circumstance, including routine bacteriological sampling, full chemical analysis, sampling for THMs, influent sampling, primary clarifier sampling, mixed liquor sampling, and monitoring well sampling.
• Calculate the area, volume and time required to flush tanks and pipes.
• Understand the equipment and materials used for sampling, and the potential safety risks.
• Apply the concepts that guide a sampling plan, including chain of custody, and documentation.
• Apply quality management methods for quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC).
