Saturday, 16 November 2002

Room 150 A
Concepts of toxicity identification evaluation/toxicity reduction evaluations (TI/RE) for effluents are presented. The primary objective of this course is to provide a level of awareness of TI/RE procedures to professionals who are relatively unfamiliar with the process. The course will benefit regulators and permittees who require a basic understanding of TI/REs and how they are performed. For environmental services professionals who wish to perform TI/REs, this course will serve to introduce them to the topic and allow them to begin to effectively participate in the TI/RE programs. Topics covered include: related permitting issues, TI/RE procedures including characterization, identification and confirmation approaches, toxicity treatment evaluations, helpful suggestions for performing TI/REs, and case examples of a number of different types of TI/REs. Ample time is provided for questions/discussions and interactions with course attendees. The target audience is industrial and municipal professionals who are responsible for NPDES compliance and who have a need to understand the general framework for TI/REs, Environmental services and regulatory professionals who are relatively new to the field of effluent toxicology and permitting will also benefit.
