Colorado Professionals in Onsite Wastewater (CPOW) just completed another successful Annual Meeting. This year’s meeting was held over two days and was the first year that CPOW hosted multiple educational tracks throughout each day. The highlights of the conference included the opening keynote presentation on Micro-dosing and Sand Filters from Dr. George Tchobanoglous, and a soil classification workshop led by Dr. Jim Anderson that had attendees literally getting their hands dirty.

CPOW also held its 1^st Annual Roe-d-Hoe, patterned after the NOWRA event. Attendees had a great time showing off their skills and spectators braved to cold to cheer them on.  The winner looks forward to competing nationally in 2009.

Many CPOW members saw for the first time a “Well and Onsite Homeowner Awareness” DVD produced by Montana State University and the Colorado State University Extension Service.  CPOW has been directly involved in this U.S. EPA funded project designed to help better inform homeowners about the function and considerations of onsite systems; members will be integral to distributing the finished video to Coloradoans in 2009.

CPOW recently incorporated the U.S. EPA Voluntary Management Guidelines into the NOWRA Model Code as the framework for a new risk-based approach to onsite regulation in Colorado.  Members will be working with state agencies to advance the code, and are looking forward to another exciting year of legislative activity.
