This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides a basic overview of the elements essential for the development of a sound management program for decentralized wastewater systems that is specifically suited to your community.

One in every four households in the United States relies on an individual onsite or small cluster system to treat wastewater. In far too many cases, these systems are installed and largely forgotten – until problems arise. An effective wastewater management program, if properly executed, can protect public health, preserve valuable water resources, and maintain economic vitality in a community.

To facilitate proper management, EPA published Voluntary National Guidelines for Managing Onsite and Clustered (Decentralized) Wastewater Treatment Systems.

This presentation assists with implementing the guidelines and is intended as a guide for communities that have evaluated a full range of wastewater options and determined that decentralized wastewater treatment is the most cost-effective and appropriate long-term option. It also provides links to extensive resources for more thorough investigation of particular topics or management program elements.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides an overview of chemical seepage in dams.

Seepage can be defined as water emerging from surface wet spots or flowing springs near or downstream of dams. The geologic materials in the foundations (beneath the dam) and abutments (on the ends of dams) are usually not watertight or uniform, so impounded reservoir water flows underground, around and under the dam, through permeable or semiporous rock, along fractures and cracks, voids, faults, and joints between local geological strata.

This 2 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily for chemical engineers and professionals who are interested in learning more about seepage chemistry and dam chemical safety. 

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides an overview of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) and the future projections of greenhouse gas emissions as well as the impact of IRA on these emissions. The course also explains the distribution of these emissions across multiple sectors, and the individual incentives provided for the reduction of these emissions in each sector.

Across the United States and around the world, the harmful impacts of climate change are increasingly apparent. Damage from unusual heat waves, prolonged drought, increasingly strong storms, accelerating sea level rise, and the expanding range of disease-carrying organisms are collectively affecting our economy and the health and welfare of human beings.

The world experienced its hottest days on record in July 2023 as average worldwide temperatures reached 63° Fahrenheit (17.2° Celsius). In recognition of these risks, and the economic opportunities available in clean energy investment, Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA).
