Backflow Prevention Tools
Under the General Order Waste Discharge Requirements approved in 2007, dairy owners/operators are required to identify any backflow problems on their facility and submit a proposed remediation plan and schedule by July 1, 2008. Under the regulations, a “trained professional” must certify that the facility has no backflow issues. A “trained professional” is defined within the General Order as “a person certified by the American Backflow Prevention Association, an inspector for a state or local government agency who has experience and/or training in backflow prevention, or a consultant with such experience and/or training.” The University of California Cooperative Extension Service and the CDQAP hosted training workshops on backflow prevention for professionals, see lists below for professionals who attended one of the training workshops.
