Hummer noted that BioLynceus® instructors combine strong scientific knowledge with an approachable and relatable teaching style.

Lagoon Management Training with Tanner Hartsock

Hummer recently worked with Tanner Hartsock for the first time when he provided a virtual wastewater training course for Idaho Rural Water Association.

Hartsock is available as a professional instructor for rural utility operators in Idaho, Washington, and Oregon.

For IRWA, he taught a six-hour virtual course titled “Lagoon Management.”

The class was designed to help wastewater operators meet annual licensing and continuing education requirements while strengthening their understanding of lagoon operations.

Positive Feedback from Wastewater Operators

According to Hummer, Tanner was flexible and willing to accommodate the association’s training needs on short notice.

Following the six-hour virtual class, IRWA received positive feedback from attendees regarding both the course content and Hartsock’s teaching style.

“We received positive reviews on his teaching style and content.”
