UIC Inspetor Training Course in San Juan with EPA

Basic Project Information:

Problem and Research Objectives

The Underground Inspection Control (UIC) Program has evolved since the last time an Inspector Training Course was offered in Puerto Rico. Since 1992, several changes and amendments have been made to the program. This makes necessary the offering of a new updated training course for local government officials that are responsible for the inspection of class V wells in Puero Rico. For this reason, an unpdated UIC Training Course was iofered in San Juan, Puerto Rico during the week of August 9-11, 2000

Methodology

The EPA and the PRWRERI organized the course, which was offered in Spanish and lasted for three days. The first two days were dedicated to theory, with a pre-test administered on the first day. The last day ioncluded a field trip to some of the class V wells, located in the surroundings of San Juan metropolitan area, where monitoring tehinques and sampling equipment were demonstrated. Transportation was provied to all attendees to and from the well sites. The course ended with a final test administered to all students. The PRWERERI is looking forward to serve the water resources and environmental community of Puerto Rico.
