Travel Information
Flying to the Conference
Atlantic City International Airport -- Delta Airlines, Spirit Airlines, and U.S. Airways all fly into Atlantic City International Airport, which is about 20 minutes from the conference hotel.
Philadelphia International Airport -- Most national airlines fly into Philadelphia International Airport, which is just 60 miles from Atlantic City. You may then reach Atlantic City by taking one of the Atlantic City van shuttle services; renting a car and driving to Atlantic City; or by taking the train right from the airport to the 30th Street Station, and then taking the frequent and inexpensive Atlantic City Line directly to the convention center where free shuttles will take you to the nearby hotel.
Three New York City Area Airports -- JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark airports are about 120 miles away. They may be an appealing alternative if you would like to visit the New York City area in conjunction with your trip to the conference. The national airlines fly into at least one of these airports, providing a wide array of schedule options.

Optional Field Trip
Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems in the New Jersey Pinelands
Tuesday, June 19 (7:30am-12:00noon)
This field trip will take you into the New Jersey Pinelands, America's First National Reserve. This unique one million acre region is home to 92 threatened or endangered plants and 43 threatened or endangered animals. This vast region is underlain by the 17.7 trillion-gallon Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer, which contains enough fresh water to cover all of New Jersey to a depth of 10 feet. Development pressures are intense in this region due to its proximity to Atlantic City, Philadelphia, and New York. However, water resources in the Pinelands are protected by a combination of land use and water quality programs. One such program requires the use of advanced onsite wastewater treatment technologies that attenuate nitrogen levels from onsite wastewater systems. Field trip hosts will show and discuss:
* biological nutrient reducing (BNR) treatment technologies required in the Pinelands
* onsite wastewater treatment site selection criteria (soil testing requirements)
* the fate of nitrogen in conventional (septic) and BNR wastewater systems
* what to look for when inspecting a BNR system installation
* operation, maintenance, and monitoring--essential management issues
This is an outdoor field trip to construction sites so please come prepared with appropriate footwear (construction boots recommended), sunscreen, hat, and insect repellent (just in case). Cost for this field trip is $19 if you sign up by June 1, 2007, and includes transportation. Limit 30 people.
Highlighted Speaker Elizabeth M. Dietzmann
Elizabeth M. Dietzmann is an attorney who consults nationally with developers, utilities, and other responsible management entities in the implementation, management structure, and operation of decentralized wastewater systems. In addition, she writes a regular legal column on decentralized wastewater topics for Onsite Water Treatment and is an adjunct professor at the University of Missouri School of Mining and Engineering. She will be discussing the pros and cons of point-of-sale inspections of septic systems, and the manner in which they can be incorporated into a septic regulatory program.
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
After attending these sessions, you will be able to:
*** Evaluate the latest onsite wastewater treatment technologies.
*** Explore new examples of onsite wastewater maintenance, management, and sustainability programs.
*** Identify resources and materials available to assist in onsite wastewater management.

National Environmental Public Health Performance Standards Workshop: Building Local and National Excellence
Saturday, June 16 (9:00am-4:30pm) & Sunday, June 17 (9:00am-12:30pm)
The National Environmental Public Health Performance Standards (NEPHPS), built upon the 10 essential environmental health services, are viewed as the primary tool for strengthening the nation's environmental public health infrastructure. Endorsed by several national agencies and professional associations, they are being used to build capacity, consistency, and accountability within and across the nation's environmental public health system. Through this hands-on workshop, participants will have the early opportunity to pursue national excellence by implementing these standards at their own agencies. Attendees will learn about the standards and their application to day-to-day activities, complete the agency self-assessment instrument, identify their own agency capacity gaps, and learn about and share best practices aimed at improving program capacity. Participants will leave with an action plan to address gaps, and an ongoing evaluation plan. By participating, attendees will also be assisting with building an accurate picture of the nation's environmental public health infrastructure, and providing information on how best to focus capacity-building resources. This workshop is sponsored by the Environmental Health Services Branch of CDC's National Center for Environmental Health.
Those interested in participating must submit an application for consideration. Applicants should be middle or senior level managers who are able to complete the assessment of their agencies in advance of the workshop, and implement follow-up improvements. The deadline to submit an application was April 13, 2007. However, there still may be spaces available in the workshop. Please contact Kristen Kuhar at kkuhar@neha.org for space availability and more information. There is no charge for this workshop. Limit 25 people.

The instruments' use and interpretation; calibration and field validation; and easily designed, statistically valid sampling techniques will be detailed. All participants will have an opportunity to use the field instruments in actual field testing. A certificate of course completion will be awarded to attendees. Cost is $79 for members and nonmembers. Limit 50 people.
Chemical Agents of Opportunity for Terrorism Course
Sunday, June 17 (9:00am-5:00pm)
The American College of Medical Toxicology, in conjunction with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, is pleased to offer this one-day course. In recent years, there has been growing concern that many of the most likely threats of chemical terrorism involve "agents of opportunity." An appreciation of the myriad of potential toxic chemicals readily available in our society is crucial if we are to optimally prepare, identify, and defend against chemical threats. While an understanding of the traditional military chemical weapons (e.g. nerve agents) remains essential, they will not be covered in these lectures.
This course will provide awareness-level training on a variety of toxic syndromes likely to be encountered following exposures to toxic industrial chemicals (TICs), toxic industrial materials (TIMs), and other chemical agents of opportunity. A symptom-based clinical approach will be utilized to describe the medical impact of various chemical poisons. This course will provide a framework to enhance recognition of the common health effects of apparently disparate chemical toxins, describe the risk to various healthcare workers, and introduce clinical and public health management strategies. Cost is $49 for members and nonmembers. Limit 50 people.
NSF Plan Review Survey Course
Sunday, June 17 (8:30am-5:00pm)
The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Plan Review Survey Course for food service and retail food is designed to provide EH professionals with an understanding of the components and process of plan review. It is based on the current version of the FDA Model Food Code and the CFP/FDA Blue Book. The course covers the application process; menu review; site, mechanical, and structural systems utilities layout; and equipment specifications. It includes sections on water and wastewater, storage, refrigeration, cooking, dishwashing, and installation of equipment. Cost is $99 for members and $149 for nonmembers if you sign up by June 1, 2007. Limit 50 people.
