FOG Abatement Training
The Western States Alliance (WSA), a project of the Pollution Prevention Resource Center (PPRC), is providing technical training in Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) abatement.
1) How to develop an effective FOG Abatement Program
2) How to implement best practices in both a new and an existing program - with emphasis on data.
The training is conducted in a workshop format, especially for water treatment professionals from small, rural communities that do not have a FOG abatement program or a pretreatment program, or that find their current program inadequate.
Training will includes such areas as:
- Why to develop a FOG abatement program and establish legal authority
- How to involve stakeholders and plan communications
- How to identify FOG sources and impacts
- How to protect public/community health with effective FOG management
- How to achieve a cost-effective FOG management program
- How to choose among commercially available FOG data management systems
Participants will receive 8 Wastewater CEHs and a certificate of completion for attending. In order to get CEHs, we require folks to take the needs assessment below:
PPRC has received grant funding from the USDA Rural Utilities Service (RUS) to provide technical training and assistance to small, rural communities in FOG abatement.
PPRC complies with applicable Federal civil rights laws and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex. This training is funded, in part, by a grant from the USDA Rural Utilities Service. While the content is valid for any size of community, the intended audience is pretreatment/water treatment personnel in rural communities, with population less than 10,000. This training is also enlightening for city commissioners and decision-makers, to understand the costs and issues involved with creating and maintaining a FOG Abatement Program. To help us meet the requirements of the USDA grant, please answer the demographic questions on the next page.
