Editor's Notes
- #2: Stretch your face. Levity and structure. A toolkit for you to personalize to your area.
- #3: Introduction. Tell something about yourself: my well and septic system.
- #4: Local pictures or photos of similar areas with similar needs and projects. Most people think NY looks like NY City. This community was one of my first projects. It is located in the heart of the Catskill Mountains less than 150 miles from NYC.
- #5: The surface water supply which served about 40 or so homes, was vulnerable to contamination, as well as damage. The water supply was drawn from this stream, located in a deep ravine.
- #6: The water intake and supply pipes were located in a deep ravine: one big flood could have taken out the intake pipes and the main distribution pipe.
- #7: Ultimately, new wells were installed on this hill. The biggest issue now is keeping the cows out of the wellhead protection area. On the left, on the other side of the road, and down, is the stream from which the original water supply was drawn. Interestingly, a dowser was used to locate the drilling site: in fact he has been called in on over 100 wells drilled by the same outfit.
- #8: The issues we are talking about today, the protection of drinking water supplies, also applies to large surface water supplies, like this, one of NYCs reservoirs. Regardless of your water source, or its size, many of the same principles apply whether you are in Washington State, Louisiana or Maine.
- #9: Today, we are talking about In creating the modules, the hardest part was keeping it simple, yet as informative as possible. As this training moves through the RCAPs and out into the field, I imagine it will become more streamlined, essential, and tailored to fit the circumstances. Wide variety of experience will be represented in the room.
- #10: As a result of the training, participants will be able to:
- #11: As a result of the training, participants will be able to:
- #12: Expect to cover 1 through 5 and perhaps begin 6 in the first half, then the rest of 6-8 in the second half.
- #16: These are the eight target audiences, not necessarily in order of priority, that were identified by the focus group held in April 08.
- #17: Many of these slides were created by others and the source is so noted on the slides themselves.
