<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>On Thursday, June 12, decision-makers involved in wastewater planning
efforts will have the opportunity to learn about some of the innovative
technologies that are available to municipalities for enhanced wastewater
treatment. In this workshop, experts will explain how individual septic
systems for nitrogen removal and the Nitrex<sup>TM </sup>permeable reactive
barrier work, and discuss the contexts in which their use might or might not be
applicable. Drawing on years of experience and related work, seasoned
engineers will offer perspectives on the advantages and disadvantages of these
technologies and whether they can offer real solutions for towns tackling the
need to reduce wastewater nitrogen and protect ecosystem and public
health. Come learn about issues related to performance with respect to
nitrogen removal, operation, maintenance, cost, and public acceptance, and seize
the chance to pose your own questions to a panel of wastewater consultants.
Interested persons will also be able to visit a field site at the Reserve where
the Nitrex<sup>TM</sup> barrier has been installed and is being tested.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

planning, this workshop will broaden your understanding of these systems and
equip you to think about them critically and objectively. The science-based
and practical information shared will help you to plan more effectively and enhance
your ability to answer questions and address community concerns. This
session is the first in a series of six wastewater workshops being offered
through the Reserve’s Coastal Training Program.</span></font></p>
