Disclaimer:  As a service to the wastewater community, NWOWEA seeks contact hours whenever a course/presentation appears to be applicable.  Unless noted as “pre-approved”, NWOWEA cannot guarantee that contact hours will be approved for a given presentation/course.  Please remember (1) it is the responsibility of each individual operator to track his/her contact hours and (2) it is always a good idea to either keep updating your records with course approvals or earn surplus contact hours in case a course or group of courses are not approved.
