ACHS Biology students tour water treatment facility

From Jennifer Myers

ACHS Biology classes have been participating in a grant program through the University of Kentucky. We have had a guest lecturer with us for several weeks, traveling through the different teacher classrooms, talking about viruses in general, COVID-19 and how wastewater can be tested as an indicator of the viral spread.

Part of the unit involved a visit to the Columbia Wastewater Treatment Facility, located on Campbellsville St, behind NAPA. Most students admitted that they never considered what actually happened to the water that gets flushed or put down the drain, so our visit really was an eye opening, real world experience!

Joining the group were: our guest teacher Jeffrey Chalfant--Graduate Student STEM Education, University of KY; his direct supervisor, Sahar Alameh--Professor of STEM Education, University of KY; Donna McNeil--Research Engineer Associate; Lindell Ormsbee--Professor of Civil Engineering, University of KY; Brian Crump--Supervisor, Columbia Regional Office of the EPA; Steven Breeding--Chief Operator of Plant Operations, Columbia Facility; and Nick Tupman--Plant Operator and Collections, Columbia Facility (former graduate of ACHS).

Participating teachers were Rebecca Smith, Ashley Goodin and Denise Grant.
