Greeley is excited to host it's 2025 PWO on Thursday, May 22nd!

The 2025 PWO has enlisted new and familiar faces to enlighten us as we continue on our never-ending learning path that is the wastewater treatment business! Gather with your neighboring wastewater professionals as we discuss Biological Nutrient Removal (Pat Radabaugh - Dewberry) to help meet current and future regulations as discussed in the day's Regulatory Update (Alex Ratcliff - Brown and Caldwell).

Intensification of treatment processes using Partial Denitrification-Anammox (Chris deBarbadillo - Black & Veatch) certainly has implications when it comes to meeting those Regs 85 and 31 nutrient limits, as does the emerging technology of Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactors - MABR (Becca Chapa - Black & Veatch). 

And what's a freshly designed and constructed process (Presenter TBD) without a bit of operator troubleshooting? Bob Dabkowski joins us to round out the seminar by providing an interactive discussion on Diagnosing and Workshopping Real-Life Plant Challenges.

Of course there will be breakfast, lunch, a visit from John Wright to discuss operator involvement in the Rocky Mountain Water Environment Association, and several breaks to stretch and mingle!

Keep an eye out for the agenda, and make sure to register soon!

Sponsorship  Levels

Come join us for another great golf season with one of the best tournaments of the year, the “Operations Challenge” Golf Tournament. This year marks the 26th Annual event. 

The tournament will be held on Monday, June 2, 2025, at Todd Creek Golf Course located in Thornton, Colorado. This Arthur Hills designed golf course provides a truly unique experience. The majestic Rocky Mountain backdrop coupled with undulating fairways and strategic placement of bunkers will provide a true test to every level of golfer.

Proceeds from the tournament benefit the Rocky Mountain Water Environment Association (RMWEA), a non-profit organization comprised of water quality professionals throughout Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico, and the RMWEA Operations Challenge. RMWEA’s goal will be to provide support to participate in the National Operations Challenge competition held during the Water Environment Federation's Annual Technical Conference & Exposition (WEFTEC).

Registration will open March 20, 2025, for Friends of Operations Challenge Golf only (limit only 1 team per registration). It will open for general registration on Thursday, March 27, 2024. Please check out our Golf Sponsor Levels as we have added some new and exciting sponsorship levels.

RMWEA participation at the national level would not be possible without the tremendous and continued financial support from local and regional sponsors that include treatment plant vendors, equipment manufacturers, contractors, engineering firms, and other organizations that directly or indirectly support the RMWEA. Sponsors who participate are recognized with a company logo or name displayed at the golf tournament. Additionally, recognition will be made at the awards banquet, on the RMWEA website, and at future Operations Challenge events. Sponsorship may be tax deductible. Please see attached for more tournament and sponsorship information. You can also find additional information and register online at www.rmwea.org. We typically sell out, so register early! 

The challenge is on! Please join us on Monday, June 2, 2024, and help support the RMWEA Operations Challenge. If you have participated in the past, you know this is a fun atmosphere with plenty of food and prizes and a great way to network with consultants, contractors, and other organizations.

Thank you in advance for your support!
