Public comment period extension: 401 Certification of the Bishop's Lodge Resort WWTF NPDES NM0031233 / Periodo de comentario publico se han extendido para la planta de tratamiento de aguas residuales del complejo de la logia del obispo NPDES NM0031233
This is a notification that EPA’s public notice and associated federal comment period have been extended for the draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for the Bishop's Lodge Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF), NPDES permit number NM0031233.
Additionally, NMED has extended the concurrent comment period for the Clean Water Act Section 401 Certification of the draft NPDES permit.
When EPA Region 6 drafts an NPDES permit for a discharge into one of New Mexico’s surface waters, NMED has an opportunity to assure that the discharge will not negatively affect the receiving waterbodies. This is documented through the 401 Certification and is required in accordance with state regulations at 20.6.2.2001 NMAC. NMED can make the draft permit more stringent if based on state law or can make comments to EPA for consideration in the final permit. NMED also has the authority to deny certification if the permitting circumstances will not guarantee that the discharge will meet water quality standards.
The facility is located at 1297 Bishops Lodge Road, City of Santa Fe, Santa Fe County, New Mexico. The discharges from the facility are to the Little Tesuque Creek, thence to the Rio Tesuque, thence to the Pojoaque River, and thence to the Rio Grande in Segment 20.6.4.121 NMAC Rio Grande Basin in Santa Fe County, New Mexico.
The draft permit, draft fact sheet, and other associated information can be found at the EPA public notice website and the NMED public notice website. Updates regarding the draft permit, public comment period, and public hearing will be posted on the EPA webpage. General background information about discharge permits can be found in the Bishop's Lodge Resort Frequently Asked Questions.EPA has included per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) monitoring requirements based on the memo from EPA headquarters addressing PFAS discharges in NPDES permits and through the Pretreatment Program and Monitoring Programs.

Anuncio del aviso público sobre el Certificación de la Sección 401 de la Ley de Aguas Limpias
Esta es una notificación de que el aviso público de la EPA y el período federales asociado de comentarios se han extendido para la planta de tratamiento de aguas residuales del complejo de la logia del obispo, número de permiso NPDES NM0031233.
Además, NMED ha abierto el período simultáneo de comentarios para la Certificación de la Sección 401 de la Ley de Agua Limpia del borrador del permiso NPDES mencionado anteriormente.
Cuando la Región 6 de la EPA redacta un permiso del Sistema Nacional de Eliminación de Descargas de Contaminantes (NPDES, por sus siglas en inglés) para una descarga en aguas superficiales de Nuevo México, se requiere que NMED concuerde con que la descarga no afectará negativamente a los cuerpos de agua receptores. Esto se documenta a través de la certificación 401 y se requiere de acuerdo con 20.6.2.2001 NMAC. NMED puede hacer que el borrador del permiso sea más estricto si se basa en la ley estatal o puede hacer comentarios a la EPA para su consideración en el permiso final. NMED también tiene la autoridad para denegar la certificación si las circunstancias de los permisos no garantizan que la descarga cumpla con los estándares de calidad del agua.
La instalación está ubicada en Bishops Lodge Rd en el Ciudad de Santa Fe en el condado Santa Fe en Nuevo México. Las descargas de la instalación son al Little Tesuque Creek, de allí al Rio Tesuque, de allí al Pojoaque River, de allí al Río Grande en el segmento 20.6.4.121 NMAC en la cuenca del Río Grande en el condado de Santa Fe en Nuevo México.
El permiso, la hoja de datos/declaración de base y otra información relacionada se pueden encontrar en los siguientes sitios web del EPA y sitios web del NMED. Las actualizaciones sobre el borrador del permiso, el período de comentarios públicos y la audiencia pública se publicarán en la página web de la EPA.

Operator Math 201: Applied Math Problems
Accreditation:
2 California Drinking Water Contact Hours awarded
Contact hours have been approved for the Registered Environmental Health Specialist Program
Certificates will be available through your profile.
Date & Time:
The Operator Math 201: Applied Math Problems training will be held on the following date and time:
October 1 | 10:00AM-12:00PM
This training is being held in Pacific Time.
Description:
At a minimum, every public water system regardless of size and complexity requires a certified water distribution operator. In addition, those systems using treatment also must have an operator that holds a water treatment operator certification. The most significant hurdle for many grade 1 and grade 2 operators in passing the operator certification exam, however, is the math portion of the test. Typically, the math section of the certification exam constitutes about 35% of the total exam score so proficiency in math is necessary to pass the test.
The math included in the first three sessions is based on the expected-range-of-knowledge for the California distribution D1/D2 exams. Operator Math 301 is targeted to the grade 3/4 level exams.
The target learner for this training wants (and needs) one specific thing: the ability to accurately calculate operator certification exam math questions. Accordingly, the learning event design focuses solely on this need. This training is not designed for “contact hours “or participant “entertainment”. This is a hands-on training with an expectation of continuous participation -- working and answering math problems – throughout the entire session.
Participants will learn:
· Pressure and head problems
· Flow calculations (gal/min, ft3/sec, velocity problems)
The recommended audience includes operators and managers.
Location:
This training will be hosted online on GoToTraining.
