Operator Assistance

The Operator Assistance Group within Wastewater Compliance provides operation and laboratory technical assistance to wastewater treatment plant operators and facilities. The objective of the 104-g-1 Technical Assistance Program is to assist small community wastewater treatment plants (less than 5.0 MGD) with NPDES compliance.

Our Technical staff provides on-site, hands-on assistance in the proper operation of wastewater plants. Also, the technical staff provides management assistance and promotes the involvement of community elected officials in the operation of wastewater treatment plants. Contact Philip Preston, ppreston(at)idem.in.gov, (317) 232-8728 for more information.

Laboratory Assistance

Laboratory technical assistance with NPDES approved test methods or other laboratory issues is available. The DMR-QA and Mayflower Laboratory Quality Assurance Programs are both administered by the Compliance Branch. Contact Barbara McDowell, bmcdowel(at)idem.in.gov, (317) 233-6464 for more information.
