Tribal Training | WWTP O&M Plan Development and Implementation
Description: Operation and Maintenance (O&M) plans are a vital part of all Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) operations. The O&M plan provides guidance for the operation and maintenance of the WWTP, and ensures regulatory compliance and emergency preparedness. Developing a strong O&M plan provides reference material to ensure plant personnel can meet the expectations of stakeholders and increase the success of their overall operations. Implementing an effective O&M plan should standardize maintenance and operations, guide operators to meet regulatory standards, provide training material, and establish reliable contact chains and emergency procedures. Join us to learn how to develop effective O&M plans, gain O&M manual development resources, and learn steps to implementing a successful O&M plan.
