The Symposium Titled "International Symposium on Domestic Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Systems" is taking place in Trinity College Dublin on Mon Sept 10th and Tue Sept 11th. The lineup and diversity of speakers is breathtaking.

The event kicks off with a welcome from Dr. Patrick Prendergast, Provost, TCD before passing over to Mr. Gerard O'Leary who has also recently been appointed a Director of the EPA. Gerard will set the scene and give a general outline for the next two days of talks. By 10am we should be getting stuck into the first of our ten international speakers. The international speakers will be accompanied by approx ten domestic speakers.

The two sets of speakers that I know most of the community reading this article will be interested in listening to are Mr. Leo Sweeney & Ms. Margaret Keegan (Environmental Protection Agency) who will be talking about the much anticipated and long awaited “NIP” The National Inspection Plan for Domestic Waste Water Treatment Systems - A Proposed Approach. Fifteen minutes has been put aside for this presentation....way too short in my opinion....however twenty five minutes have been allocated for Discussion/Q&A at the end of this morning session.

The other speaker Mr. Donal Daly (Environmental Protection Agency) talk is titled “A Risk based Methodology to Assist in the Prioritisation of the Inspection of Domestic Waste Water Treatment Systems.” I know most of the wastewater community in Ireland will be interested to see how the EPA have prioritised one region over another in relation to the forthcoming Inspections.

There are approx 300 spaces available and spaces are filling up fast.

Closing Date for online bookings is today Sept 4th subject to availability.
