News Briefs
2011 Boom School Recap - The 2011 Inland Waterways Oil Spill Responder 1 & 3 Day Training, better known as Boom School, was a success again this year. We worked in Mississioppi River Pool 2 near Flint Hills Resources, CF Industries and Aggregate Industries.
Extreme heat and high water levels as well as other issues prompted the decision to re-schedule the 3 day from July to October. Luckily, we had July-like weather for the October class with good water conditions as well.
CF Industries provided the 2011 Boom School with training facilities, a boat launch, and a fantastic spot for lunches and planning, complete with picnic tables, hygiene facilities, and awesome scenery. Wakota CAER would like to thank all involved at CF Industries for their hospitality.
Planning for the 2012 Boom School has already begun, using knowledge gained in 2011 to provide the best training available.
Wakota CAER hopes to see you again next year for this important and fun training opportunity.
