<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, wastewater 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, 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:
12.0pt'>If you serve on a decision-making body that addresses any aspect of wastewater
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>
