Well today marks the first field trip for the class of ENV. 300. In the morning hours we were already at the Water Treatment Plant at Columbia, SC. This trip was an eye opener in the areas of how the bottle water we consumer actually get there from the source, which may be a canal or reservoir. The whole trip was informative and brief, and I hope subsequent ones be just like this or even better..
ReplyDeleteToday was the first fieldtrip in ENV 300,to the City of Columbia Water Works.It was a very infromative trip because I learned how they treat and fliter out any biomass material and were to they distribute the clean water to the surrounding areas.
ReplyDeleteOn Wednesday the ENV 306 class to a trip to the South Carolina Department of Health & Environmental Control or S.C. DHEC. Two employees, Tim and Kim, explained to us the different responsibilities of the DHEC. Tim worked specifically with air quality and showed us a lot of pictures about the most interesting illegal fires he's dealt with. We also learned about the water regulations and saw a picture of an alligator that got into one of the treatment sites. Furthermore, we were able to do some experiments such as determining the amount of chlorine in water and testing for radiation!! I'm truly a hands on learner and really enjoyed our time at DHEC. They also gave us great souvenirs, lol.
ReplyDeleteThe City of Columbia Water Treatment Plant was the first field trip. I must say, I loved it. I had the chance to clear some of my doubts. I also learnt that some of the bottled water I'v been drinking comes from the same water plant, then why spend money buying them? I am very enlightened about water treatment now. At a point I didn't believe that the same water I saw at the reservior is the same I saw at the finish stage(post-treatment). With more field trips, I know I will have a clearer view of that particular corsework. I cant wait to go for the next field trip at SCDHEC, I heard it is better than the previous.. need to go and check it out.
ReplyDeleteFriday ENV 306 went to the Water Treatment Plant for the city of Columbia. There we went on an hour walk around the plant and boy was it hot! We got to see the different basins where they added chemicals, mixed the water, and let it settle out. We also got to see the control room where they monitor all the chemicals and water levels. You would be surprised that tap water has higher standards and regulations to live up to than bottled water, so if you can help it you should drink tap water in a refillable bottle.
ReplyDeleteThursday, the 11th, ENV 300 took a field trip to a water treatment plant in columbia. It was pretty cool how the water process works. The tour was very informative and the tour guide was cool. She got straight to the point. I wouldnt mind going back one day as long as the sun isn't out like it was.
ReplyDeleteWell so far we have been on three fieldtrips in Env 306 and they have all have went well. We have visited a Watertreatment plant in Columbia SC, we visited the DHEC office in Aiken, and we have visited the J. Strom Thurmond Dam in a Augusta. All of the trips have been very insightful they provided a lot of information on the topic of land use and shows you how land has been used so far over the years. It would be nice to see more different types it does seem that almost all of the field trips up to this point have dealt a great deal with water. Maybe a trip to a local conservation office would be pretty good and showing how decisios are made on the agricultural side of things would be nice.
ReplyDeleteToday we went to the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control[DHEC]. We arrived there like 9:00 am. They gave us a lil presentation and told us about there self. Their mission is to promte and protect the health of the public and environment. They check differnt industrial plants and water treatment plants. Two of them include Savannah River Site and the Columbia Water Works. Everything goes through DHEC. Its was pretty interesting. I loved the micro-biology lab and how the girl used the black light to detect bacteria. I wouldn't mind going back to see that.
ReplyDeleteBefore 9a.m this morning, we were already at the premises of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, which is situated about 5 minutes from campus. We spent three to four hours judiciously on valuable information I personally didn't know before now. One interesting thing I learnt today was the flourescence of bacteria in water in a dark environment, a technique employed in the water treatment microbiology lab. I was also happy that I finally got to visit a real laboratory. This is the first time since this internship, and I hope we visit more of these. The day was well spent.
ReplyDeleteToday we went to South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. It was way better than I thought. The first man talked bout him and his inspections of gas tanks which was very interesting to me because he was telling us information on things like a pin sized whole can cause about 400,000 gallons of gas to run-off into the ground water. The information was very informational making things very clear for me. Closer to the end of the tour they took us to the Microbiology lab and I REALLY LIKED THAT ALOT!!! They test the water for things like e.coli and she showed us samples of river water that she took and it contained a high level of e.coli. This was very interesting to me. I loved that aspect and it is making me add a career option to the list of possibilities!!! Can't wait untill the next Educational Outing( Field Trip) lol!!
ReplyDeleteYesterday the class of ENV 300 took a trip to South CarolinaDepartment of Health and Enviromental Control. I learned the different jobs that SCDHEC does, One jobs deal with the inspecting gas tanks to make sure there no leaks that could leak in the underground water,I learned that a pin sized hole could leak over 400,000 gallons. Next we tested water for dissolved oxygen, turbidity of the water, and for cholrine. We also scan for radation with i thought was very cool. Next we tour the lab area, the mircobiologist showed as how to they test for fecal matter use a blacklight which was very fascinating. This educational outing was very informative and gave me another career options.
ReplyDeleteA few days ago we went to a water treament plant and it was so cool!!!! I have always seen these plants but never really made the connection that they actually treat water we drink. When we went around the plant it was very hot. I was sweating a lot. We first saw the river where it came came and to me it looked pretty dirty. Our first stop was the area where all the chemicals were mixed in that removed the big particles of dirty stuff. And that water was pretty nasty. Once everything stuck together in little pieces it was slowly allowed to settle to the bottom. And as we went through the different bassins we saw the water get very clear. But the worker said it still was not drinkable because the water still might contain bacteria. And at the bottom of the basin there is all this nasty sludge. It looked like dirt, very nasty dirt. Then when we got to the end the water was injected with chlorine to kill all microganism that could be in the water. When we got ready to leave i ahd a new respect for water and the people who clean it!
ReplyDeleteEarlier today, we were at the US Corps of Engineers somewhere in SC about an hour from campus. It was a very informative trip as we went through every section of the facility from the dam, tyhe turbine station down to the control room. This is an interesting place to be.
ReplyDeleteOn tuesday. we went to the South Carolina Department of Health andEnvironemntal Control(SCDHEC). It was very interesting how the employees accepted us. Some of them on a field work had to give us a brief information on thier type of work and how it is related to acheiving healthy environment. A very informative powerPoint presentatiion was made to shiw us the duties and activities of SCDHEC. Being a person that likes Hydrology, I was really intriued by the wasy water is tested for the pH and salinity, with South Carolina ground water having a pH of 4. The was the amount of readiation is counted using the Geiger-Muller Counter was also showed. You can imagine how radioactive a plate made from clay is. And unkknowingly, most of us eat of it, though it si no more produced.We also had little lab tour, and also was shown th processes of testing how clean and hygienic the potable water is. It was a very wonderful and informative field trip. I can now go harder in search of knowledge in "Hydrology'
ReplyDeleteThe visit to The US Corp of Engineers was amazing. The view of the dam fromt the visitors center inticing. the park ranger gave a very good tour around this site. From the Power plants, old and new turbines ( its amazing how the size of turbine can weight less than two times the previous one.. that technology) At a point i couldn't believe that I was standing in the wall of the dam.. that is in the middle of the lake. The ranger gave a lot of information about the dam-- how the potential energy of the water helps give electricity.. he broke it down through the processes. I think I am clear abou the kind of electrical energy sourse. I was also told that they make a lot of money even when not producing electricity.. this is fascinating...He continued by giving the information about jobs in the dams and their activities... I also had the closeest view, if I didnt even feel it, of a turbine... I dont know when next I go through this adventure.. This experience is very neccessary.. This internship is really get more fun...
ReplyDeleteToday we toured the U.S. Amry Corps of Engineers J.Storm Thurmond Dam. It was a great experiance for me because I have always wonder how does a hydro electric dam works. The ranger gave us infomation of the dam's history and how much electricity it produces. Everything about the Dam seem to be large the penstock was big enough to fit two buses and still have room for more. To be in a hydro eletric dam is an out of this world experiance. I wonder were are will go next
ReplyDeleteOn Monday our ENV 306 class, Land Use Decisions, took a trip to the United States Army Corps J. Strom Thurmond Dam & Lake. Upon arriving, the first thing our class saw was an amazing view of this sparkling body of water. After marveling at the lake & the dam, we were introduced to a park ranger. The ranger led us inside where we were able to read all the posted information about the areas wildlife and dam construction. After doing some individual exploration in the front room, we were able to go to the conference room and view a detailed, twenty minute video documenting the dam’s history. After the video we got to actually explore the inside of the dam and learn about it firsthand. This field trip was very enjoyable, and probably the most informative one yet! I can’t wait until our next educational outing!!
ReplyDeleteYesterday ENV 300 took a trip to the US Army Corps of Engineers. I have to say that this was the best trip yet. I had fun!!! Me, vanessa, cheyane, and geton made a video about the old turbine they had in front of the control building. It was funny. When we first got their we saw a video on the Corps' background & history. I thought I was gone fall asleep, but i didnt...LOL! After that we went inside the dam and got a good look of what goes on. It was pretty interesting. I would wanna work there after graduating from college.
ReplyDeleteYesterday, My ENV 300 class went to the US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS. Now on this trip I had so much fun. Cheyane, Myself, and Dechanta made a video in the van and we all made a music and dance video in front of the turbine before starting the actual trip. We watched a video before and It explained the history and the speculations on how and when they built the Dam.
ReplyDeleteWhen we went inside the Dam we started at the bottom. WE WERE LITERALLY UNDER WATER!!! This was so COOL! then we worked our way up the Dam, looking at different parts of the turbine. This I think was our best trip yet! KEEP IT UP Mr. Wilson!
The last field trip we had was at the damn on the Savaanah river. It was run by the army cor of engineers. That is one huge place! I couldnt even think about hom much material it took to make this place. I remeber the man said the whole damn was about little over a mile long and 200 feet wide at the bottom. So even if someone tried to jump off into the river and kill themeselves thye wouldn't make. They would probably hit the sides of the damn about two times. Before hitting the river!!! OUCH!! Inside the damn there many level were things were housed. AT the very bottom were the pipes were the water went through that turned the turbines called penstostocks. Theses area above them is wher the pitols were, and above that were the humougous turbines. Theseb things were huge and weighed ove 59 million tons. wow what alot of steal. All the trip was great and the best one we had so far.

ReplyDeleteInitially i was only assgined to the ENV 492 class but i decided to join the ENV 300 class for a field trip because i always hear how much fun they are! We visited a place where they harvest aquatic insects/animals and survey them for toxic levels of any substance in the water and see how they are able to sustain life. IT was a different experience and i enjoyed myself. It was just another way to learn something out side of the classroom
ReplyDeleteWell to be honest we went on a feildtrip today and it probably was the worst one so far. It wasnt' bad because it was a bad place it just kind of boring. Much of the stuff they did was similar to that of DHEC and well when we say that one of the guys who work there job was to tranfer water fleas from one container to the next it was pretty much set that it was kind of lame. Have fun tomorrow guys.
ReplyDeleteToday we took a field trip to the Swearingen Ecology Associates Untied States, Inc(SEAUS). I would have to say this was the least interesting field trip of them all. They do some interesting things, but it really didnt excite me. They sit aroung and catch water fleas and fat head fish all day. They use them to test the rivers and stuff to see will they survive. I wouldnt want to do this job.
ReplyDeleteToday we went to a field to Swearingen Ecology Associates United States, INC(SEAUS) It was quite interesting. This body takes sample of macro invertebrates in freshwater in order to check the toxicity of the water body. The most collected animals are the water flea and fat head fish. They are bred and watched closedly. usually, when a results negatively the Water Treatment Plant or the body that caused it is contacted. Then, measures are taken to reduce. it effects But when it continues, there is a fine of up to $25000, though it rarely happens. The rate of water pollution has decreased tremendously. It was said to be very high in the earlier days. I really learnt a lot of facts like.. the City of Orangeburg disposes its waste water in a water body- river, streams.. and it is legal.. It was a nice experience though.. every knowledge counts...
ReplyDeleteToday we took a trip to (SEAUS). This field trip wasnt bad but it wasnt my favorite! Although Dechanta and I made it a little fun making some movies in the lab. The presenter tried to make it as interesting as she could but i could see that it wasnt much that she could do. She did show us a couple of harvested insects they were cool a little. I still made the best of it and listened and took notes about all the tasks that she has to do. The other two scientists looked they were so bored but one of them said that he was used to it now ! lol
ReplyDeleteTodat, we were at the SEAUS, a facility in Columbia, SC mostly concerned with chemical analysis of water and micro organisms that live in water. It is a commercial facility even though it is under the DHEC and the EPA. It was informative just like other trips.
ReplyDeleteWe had a field trip today to SEAUS, in Columbia SC. The whole premise of this trip was telling us about test they using water fleas and a fish they called fat heads. Bascilly the fish heads were very huge when they mate. These organisms are used as indicators to show if the river have high levels of toxicity. This is done by using fish and water fleas bread in the lab. These orgainsms are bread and grown in the lab and when they reach a certain, they are put in water samples from the stream. And the number of days they live is recorded. Also in the lab the director grows brine shrimp to feed the fleas and fish. ANd when all the testis done they pour all the shrimp and fleas down the drain because it is illegal to put them in the river in South Carliona. These fish are native to waters up north like Michigan and new york not south carliona.

ReplyDeleteI am soooooooo mad!!! The ENV 300 class went on a field trip to the Nuclear Plant and i was too sleepy to wake up so i missed it!! :-( But Staryln has been texting me the whole time and giving me updates. She said the facility was very nice and the tour give was very knowledgable...not boring and mono tone like the speaker from monday's field trip. lol he drive was a hour and a half and now i am waiting for them to get back because i am super lonely! :(

ReplyDeleteWe went to SCDHEC and I really loved there presentation. But what really have stuck with me is SC DHEC routinely collects water samples at over 100 locations on South Carolina's beaches. If high numbers of bacteria are found, an advisory is issued for that portion of the beach. An advisory means that DHEC advises you to NOT swim in certain areas. This is especially true for young children and those with compromised immune systems. Advisories do not mean that the beach is closed. Wading, fishing, and shell collecting do not pose a risk. Advisories may be issued due to high bacteria counts or rainfall. Advisories are lifted when sample results fall below the limit of 104/100mL.
ReplyDeleteOn our trip to SCDHEC we learned Gastroenteritis is the most common illness associated with swimming in contaminated water. It occurs in a variety of forms that can have one or more of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, stomachache, diarrhea, headache and fever. Other minor illnesses that can result from swimming in contaminated water include ear, eye, skin, nose, and throat infections. Small children and individuals with weakened immune systems are most at risk of illness. This sparked my attention because there alot of health risks around where I live so I learned what i can do to prevent it.
ReplyDeleteOn our trip to DHEC I learned that In 2004, numerous deaths among South Carolinians were attributed to the primary components of CVD: 25 deaths per day from heart disease, and seven deaths per day from stroke. During 2004, 12,597 people died from cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death for our state citizens. More than the total number of people who died from all cancers, pneumonia, influenza, and car accidents combined. I thought it was very informational.
ReplyDeleteOn our trip to The City of Columbia Water Treatment plant I learned operates and maintains the treatment, distribution, and storage system that serves properties located inside the City limits, major portions of Richland County, portions of Lexington County and other area communities. The Columbia Canal Water Treatment Plant, located at 300 Laurel Street, and Lake Murray Water Treatment Plant, located at 6 Rocky Point Road, have a combined rated capacity of 126 million gallons per day and serve approximately 375,000 customers.
ReplyDeleteWe went to the Dam and Learned Thurmond Lake is a man-made lake bordering Georgia and South Carolina on the Savannah, Broad, and Little Rivers. The lake is created by Thurmond Dam located on the Savannah River twenty-two miles above Augusta Georgia and 239.5 miles above the mouth of the Savannah River. The dam had very huge turbines. The presenter said that about six healthy men could probrably turn them but they are huge and heavy.
ReplyDeleteWe went to the Waste water treatment plant in Columbia and I learned that The distribution system has over 2,250 miles of water lines, pump stations, storage tanks and pressure reducing valves that distribute water across 9 major pressure zones. Both water plants operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. That to me is alot of water she showed us samples of the water. It looked disguting as the stages started.
ReplyDeleteWe also went to The Thurmond Dam I learned Thurmond Lake is one of the southeast's largest and most popular public recreation lakes. Built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers between 1946 and 194 as part of a flood control, hydropower, and navigation project, authorized purposes now include recreation, water quality, water supply, and fish and wildlife management. The dam was very big and the presenter was telling me how a couple peaple jumped off the dam and died but this was the best one so far.
ReplyDeleteThe most recent field trip we went on was to SEAUS. No offense but this was te worst trip that we have been on because the lady was so monotone and sound like she wasnt talking bout much. I wasnt trying to be rude but she was very boring. Her lab was a little exciting because we examined a couple o iscts heads but othr than that.I wasnt to exciting but I triend look on the bright side.
ReplyDeleteWe took a trip to the city of Columbia Water treatment plant It was so interesting looking at the process the water goes through to become purified. What also caught my attention was Fats, Oils and Grease (commonly referred to as FOG) enter the City of Columbia's sanitary sewer system every day. These items present a big problem in the sewer system. Improper cleanup practices allow food particles, oil and grease, and cleaning products to flow to the sewer system. These types of problems create environmental and public health concerns. When not disposed of properly, FOG form thick layers inside the sewer system and prevent normal flow. Clogged systems result in sewage spills, overflows, and odor problems. In addition to this, FOG also attract insects and small animals, causing worse problems.
ReplyDeleteWe also took a trip to the J Strom Thurmond Dam this to me was the best trip. we learned that Thurmond Lake is a man-made lake bordering Georgia and South Carolina on the Savannah, Broad, and Little Rivers.Built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers between 1946 and 194 as part of a flood control, hydropower, and navigation project, authorized purposes now include recreation, water quality, water supply, and fish and wildlife management.
ReplyDeleteWe took this trip to the Waste Water Treatment place in Columbia. I really picked up how Oil and water separators are large capacity, underground cement vaults installed between a drain and the connecting sewer pipe. These vaults are designed with baffles to trap sediments and retain floating oils while allowing the remaining wastewater to be discharged to the wastewater collection system by gravity. The large capacity of the vaults slows down the wastewater allowing oil to reach the surface and solid material to settle out
ReplyDeleteWe went to Columbia to see the Water treat ment plant. one thing I learned Any business that plans to discharge oily or sediment-laden wastewater to the sewer must install, use and maintain an oil and water separator. Businesses that typically need oil and water separators include:
ReplyDelete•Quick lube stations
•Transportation fueling facilities
•Vehicl/heavy equipment repair facilities
•Businesses using steam or pressure washers.
We also went to SEAUS We visited a place where they harvest aquatic insects/animals and survey them for toxic levels of any substance in the water and see how they are able to sustain life. IT was a different experience and i enjoyed myself. It was just another way to learn something out side of the classroom. But its ok I like it sort of.
ReplyDeleteWe took a trip to the City of Columbia i was intruged by how Many think that if the separator is still draining, it is working; but like any "filter" an oil and water separator needs occasional cleaning. A separator's efficiency is most affected by settled solids or sludge and by oils. You should inspect the separator at least every six months.
ReplyDeleteWhen cleaning:
1.Open the inspection plates with a screwdriver and look into each chamber. Make sure the outlet chamber (usually the closest to the street) has a sampling "T". It should have at least a six-inch extension below the water surface.
2.Take a long stick that will reach the bottom (about 8 feet). Any resistance to punch through the bottom will indicate a sludge buildup. Service the oil and water separator when the buildup is about 8 inches deep in the inlet chamber (typically the one closest to the drain).
3.Measure the oil floating on top of the water. When there are two inches or more of oil in any chamber, it should be removed. Older oil has a chance of becoming emulsified (broken up into smaller droplets).
We also went to the Thurmond Dam I learned thatThurmond Lake is a man-made lake bordering Georgia and South Carolina on the Savannah, Broad, and Little Rivers. The lake is created by Thurmond Dam located on the Savannah River twenty-two miles above Augusta Georgia and 239.5 miles above the mouth of the Savannah River. The lake extends 39.4 miles up the Savannah River, 29 miles up the Little River, and 6.5 miles up the Broad River in Georgia, and 17 Miles up the Little River in South Carolina, at normal pool elevation, Thurmond Lake comprises nearly 71,100 acres of water with a shoreline of 1200 miles.
ReplyDeleteOn Monday our ENV 306 class, Land Use Decisions took a field trip to the Swearingen Ecology Associates in Columbia. On the way there we had a few issues, the van was rocking from side to side, and we stopped to check the tires. Afterwards, we continued safely on our trip. We drove past the building twice before figuring out where it was. Actually finding the building was very anti-climatic, as we were all expecting a much larger facility. Ms. Glenda Swearingen-Foy began by telling us about the procedures and processes their facility was responsible for. They test various water sources for macro organisms. They also do something with the quality of life in various bodies of water. One of the task that employees do at the Swearingen Ecology Associates involves transporting water fleas from cup to cup every day. The site is also open three hundred and sixty five days a year because said water fleas must be fed and transported every day. This field trip was informative, although not the liveliest one we have ever been on.
ReplyDeleteToday our ENV 306 class took a trip to the South Carolina Electric and Gas Nuclear power plant. Our tour guide Jonnie was so friendly. When we arrived he arranged an informal dicussion about the site with a few other people that worked there as well. They explained the different parts of the site and described a few different jobs the site offered as well. After that we went on a tour around the site on a very comfortable bus. It was one of the best field trips we've been on.
ReplyDeleteThe ENV 300 class tour the S.E.A.U.S facility. Th speakers in inform us that there organization test for the water toxicity and preform ecological surveys. They catch flat head and water flies to preform there test.I got tell that was the most boring job we as a class have toured
ReplyDeleteWe went to a Nuclear Power Plant today and when I tell you it was so interesting to hear all the ins and out of the huge turbine that they use steam to make electricity. During the presentation they informed us about everything that happens around the plant and also how they are in the process of building two more reactors. When I thought the fun was over we took a tour around the site. The resivior was beautiful. This was one of the best trips we have took.
ReplyDeleteToday we toured a Nuclear Power plant, there I learned how nuclear energy and steam to make electricity. The site is currently still underconstruction, but it looks very promising,it going to constist of two more reacters and open more than 3,600 jobs in the near future. They took us on a tour of there site they currently have. All in all the trip was very best trip all session.
ReplyDeleteOn thursday went to a nuclear plant. They use nuclear energy to make electricity. They are still trying to build more sites on there land. They have a lot of construction ahead of them. They are gonna have more jobs in the future for students coming out of college. Maybe I could be one of the students to get hired. It does look like a fun job to have.
ReplyDeleteAt the nuclear power plant i almost wanted to cry, because that was our last fieldtrip. There will be no more filed trips for me. As of tuesday next week i am going home to atl. TEAR!! but any way on the field trip i heard that it was going to be pretty boring. But that was not the case. First we weent int a meeting room and the worker told us a little bit about the place. I really learned a lot because i have never been to a nuclear power plant and never knew anything about them. So i was listening to everythiing he said. After he talked, we went around the site and he gave us a tour. On the tour we saw much more than we ever did of the savannah river site!!! We saw the lake and all these area where the were building neww plants. The best two things i saw on the site was the reversible dam and the first neculear power plant. i thought that waa pretty amazing.
