Master Well Owners--A New Volunteer Program

Participants discuss proper well construction at the Capital Regions's Master Well Owner Training.

Rural homes and farms in Pennsylvania rely on private wells, springs, and cisterns for their drinking water. Currently, there are more than one million private water systems in the state and approximately 20,000 new wells are drilled each year. These systems are not required to undergo any water testing and they do not have to meet any drinking water standards set by the state. Surveys have indicated that many private water systems fail to meet drinking water standards.

Families using private water systems should be aware of changing water quality issues and the best methods to protect their water supply. For this reason, William E. Sharpe, professor of forest hydrology, and Bryan R. Swistock, extension associate, received funding through the USDA Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service to initiate a Master Well Owners Network in Pennsylvania. Creating the network will be a two-year collaborative effort among Penn State Institutes of the Environment (PSIE), Penn State School of Forest Resources, Penn State Cooperative Extension, Pennsylvania Groundwater Association, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Coordinated by Stephanie Clemens at PSIE, the program will train 240 volunteers throughout the state in proper construction and management of private water systems. Network volunteers will be required to attend a one-day workshop at which they are given instruction in topics such as well location, construction, and maintenance; land-use impacts/wellhead protection; springs and cisterns; drinking water standards and water testing; water treatment; and water conservation. In return, Master Well Owners are asked to share their knowledge with homeowners and farmers using private water systems in their local communities. The ultimate goal is to disseminate the information necessary for people to protect the quality and quantity of their home drinking water, and to ensure that people are more aware of their own land-use activities so that they do not contribute to contamination of water supplies.

In total, eight training workshops will be held in various areas throughout the state in the eight Penn State Cooperative Extension regions. Two training workshops have already taken place and six more are scheduled between August 2004 and April 2005.

For additional information, or to become a Master Well Owner, please contact Stephanie Clemens at (814) 865-2205 (mwon@psu.edu) or visit the program Web site at http://mwon.cas.psu.edu.

PENNTAP and SFR Reach Out Together

John Pletcher

Penn State serves many vital roles within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania including educating up-and-coming professionals, conducting research, and providing continuing education and technical outreach services. The Pennsylvania Technical Assistance Program (PENNTAP) is one of those outreach services and one of the first university-based technical assistance programs in the country. PENNTAP has provided one-on-one technical outreach to Pennsylvania companies since 1965.

PENNTAP currently fields 23 specialists strategically placed around the Commonwealth to address many areas including environment, food industry, forest products, information technology and e-business, NASA technology transfer, occupational health and safety, plastics, powder metals, product development services, and statistical data analysis. PENNTAP maintains close working relationships with Penn State faculty-and many other service providers such as the Ben Franklin Technology Center Partnership, industrial resource centers, and small business development centers-to effectively address clients' needs and enable them to be more competitive in the global market place.

John Pletcher, a 1985 wood products graduate, is PENNTAP's forest products technical specialist. He is housed in the School of Forest Resources in the Forest Resources Laboratory at University Park where his main focus is assisting the secondary wood products industry. He interacts directly with faculty and staff, facilitating a two-way relationship that is mutually beneficial to each program as well as to the forest products industry. For example, Pletcher has assisted with annual wood products short courses such as kiln drying, anatomical properties of wood, wood identification, and lumber drying. This unique, cooperative arrangement has also facilitated linking research efforts within the School to the industry's current needs. "It has been an interesting experience working with professors I had as an undergraduate student 20 years ago," Pletcher says.

During the past six years in PENNTAP, Pletcher has completed more than 300 cases of technical assistance to approximately 200 wood products companies that report economic benefits in excess of $5.38 million. The size of companies Pletcher assists ranges from the smaller mom-and-pop shops with few employees to companies with several hundred employees. Company size does not matter, only the fact they need assistance.

Typical requests for assistance are manufacturing efficiency studies, solutions for adhesive and finishing problems, product development, and waste reduction. Pletcher recently helped a cabinet company in southwestern Pennsylvania perform a feasibility study by utilizing ROMI-RIP, a rough mill simulation program from the USDA Forest Service, to upgrade a gang rip system in their rough mill. He then performed a material balance analysis for the mill. The resulting work saved the company more than $300,000 annually. Another example involved a case in which Wood Products faculty member Lee Stover accompanied Pletcher to a sawmill in Fayette County. This particular mill, like so many small mills, was struggling just to survive. A quick lumber recovery analysis was performed, and a mechanical evaluation of the mill revealed severe mechanical inefficiencies. The owner shut down the mill the following day, made all recommended mechanical changes, and realized a $75,000 improvement the following year.

After graduating from Penn State, Pletcher's career path took him to the custom sail yacht industry in Florida where he was involved with adhesive, finishing, and wood technology issues. He later returned to Pennsylvania and worked as a forest products engineer at Conestoga Wood Specialties, a large cabinet company based in Lancaster County. In 1995 Pletcher joined a pilot project funded through the USDA Forest Service to provide technical assistance to the forest products industry is southwestern Pennsylvania, which led to the position in PENNTAP, covering the entire Commonwealth. He never imagined his career path would lead back to the University.

Pletcher is now pursuing a graduate degree in Wood Products and is involved with research evaluating lumber recovery from small diameter hardwoods-from the harvested timber through the drying process.

"I really enjoy helping our wood products industry improve its efficiency and competitiveness in the global market, and completing a graduate degree will allow me to serve the industry even better," says Pletcher.

About "The Building"

We have now progressed through the formal bidding process, identified the degree to which we are over-budget, evaluated ways and means for decreasing the cost of the overall project (termed "value engineering"), and tried our best to get the actual construction started. The complete building is organized into 15 bid packages. Right now (7/02), the Office of Physical Plant, our University's central design and building authority, is about to initiate final contracts with the majority of the winning, low-bid companies involved in our project. There is further promise that most of the major "deducts" considered within our "value engineering" proposals will not have to be exercised. This would ensure that the basic teaching and research integrity of the planned structure will be maintained.

Accordingly, actual construction on the initial components of work (excavation, foundations, infrastructure services) should commence by mid to late August (yes, in 2004). Given this start date, the schedule for our building predicts that the total project will be completed by November-December of 2005. Our School anticipates having access to the new Forest Resources Building by spring semester 2006.
We have also realized additional gains in development over the past six months. Several new donors have stepped forward with contributions and naming preferences to the building. Other potential sponsors have requested proposals from our School and College. We will be meeting with these foundations and companies over the next few months.

Bottom line: our new building will start to take shape over the next few months and will become a functional reality in the very near future. For those of you who identify with forestry, wildlife and fisheries science, or wood products, please join us at this very important point in time.
