Sponsored by USPOULTRY, the 2022 Environmental Management Seminar emphasized the practical implementation of environmental science in order to help attendees define, evaluate and reach their environmental program goals. Ranging from regulatory updates to stormwater permitting, analytical testing, water reuse, emissions, odor abatement and more, this seminar was full of real-world applications.
John Pierson, principal at Pierson Enterprises, LLC, presented a case study of Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) testing and how it is used as a tool to evaluate compliance to wastewater discharge standards. Using specific measured values, he provided a step-by-step walk through of the reasons for using WET testing and provided examples of how the testing is performed.
