If you run into any of our MEHA volunteers, please be sure to thank them for all their hard work and dedica on. There is so much “behind the scenes” work that is done to make the MEHA AEC so successful. Lastly, I wanted to thank all of you for this wonderful opportunity to serve as your MEHA President for the 2015‐2016 year. It has truly been an honor to serve as your president.

CDC ‘s Model Aqua c Health Code—Tom Schaefer The MAHC will influence the next genera on of health codes and could become a federal law. MAHC has requirements for supplemental disinfec on on pools designed for small children and true therapy pools. One "chlorine tolerant" pathogen, found in fecal ma er of many animals, is responsible for over 75% of Recrea onal Water Illnesses (RWI's) reported to the CDC. There are numerous requirements for supplemental ultraviolet (UV) systems to assure they comply with standards developed by the U.S. EPA for municipal drinking water. UV is a popular way to address chloramine levels in aqua cs. The presenta on will review UV in the MAHC, educate a endees on checking compliance, as well as review how the technology helps pools comply with exis ng health codes in regards to chloramines. TOM SCHAEFER, NEPTUNE BENSON Tom Schaefer is a Regional Manager for Neptune Benson. Tom’s background in UV for commercial pools dates back to 1996. Commercial aqua cs have seen drama c growth in UV over the last ten years. Health officials are increasingly concerned with chlorine tolerant pathogens like Cryptosporidium. New York, California, Utah, Florida, Texas, Ohio, are some of the states which already have aqua c health code requirements for UV. Crypto is poten ally life threatening to infants, elderly, and immune compromised. The CDC’s Model Aqua c Health Code (MAHC) includes requirements for secondary disinfec on with UV.

MI Aquaculture ‐ Sustainable or Fodder ‐ Chris Weeks Aquaculture is the propaga on and rearing of aqua c species in controlled or selected environments, including, but not limited to, ocean ranching. Globally, seafood produc on from aquaculture is rapidly outpacing wild harvests due to rising demand for quality protein for human consump on. With projec ons for seafood demand doubling by 2050, it is important to ask whether aquaculture expansion can occur in Michigan based on concerns for environmental health. Here I discuss cause and effect of the rising seafood demand, aquaculture sustainability, and how aquaculture could move forward sustainably in Michigan. CHRIS WEEKS, MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY Dr. Chris Weeks serves as an Aquaculture Extension Specialist for the North Central Regional Aquaculture Center and Michigan State University. He obtained a BS degree in aerospace engineering from San Diego State, and MS and PhD in Fisheries and Wildlife from MSU. Chris’s career goal centers on sustainable aquaculture growth, and his experience includes strategic planning, business development, produc on system design and management, aqua c animal health, bai ish, regula ons, and aqua c nuisance species.

Wetland & Floodplain Delinea on ‐ Brendan Earl

This presenta on provides a detailed descrip on of the techniques and procedures for iden fying and delinea ng floodplains and wetlands that may be subject to regulatory jurisdic on. It will provide useful, prac cal knowledge to personnel in the onsite wastewater program to iden fy and avoid these sensi ve areas during the permi ng process. This informa on can be helpful when dealing with difficult sites with marginal soils and offers another "tool in your bag" to make good decisions when loca ng and designing sep c systems.

Prior to that, he was an environmental scien st for 8 years at an engineering and consul ng firm where he worked on a variety of ecological projects. His project experience includes wetlands, fisheries, threatened and endangered species, groundwater and soil sampling, and industrial compliance. He received his Master’s Degree from Western Michigan University where his thesis and publica ons focused on fisheries and stream ecology.

Body Art Enforcement ‐ Michael Kucab

Since the passage of the body art facility law in 2007, MDHHS was instructed to create a body art facility licensing program. Besides crea ng fees for licensure the law also authorized the state and local health departments to enforce the law to assure no one performed body art procedures outside of a licensed facility. With the prolifera on of social media internet sites such as Facebook and Craigslist, enforcement of the law has become a demanding challenge to protec ng the public from infec ous disease by illegal body ar sts. This presenta on will describe the threat of social media, demonstrate a specific case of local enforcement ac on toward illegal body art and both innova ve approaches and cita ons of the legal authority for both civil and criminal fines.

MICHAEL KUCAB, MDHHS Michael has a Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology, Michigan State University and a Master of Public Health, Policy and Administra on, University of Michigan. He has been a Sanitarian since 1988, where he worked in Huron County prior to moving to Oregon and Arizona, where he worked as a Sanitarian prior to coming back to Michigan. He is currently the Body Art Facility Licensing Program Coordinator, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Lansing, MI.

Children & Environmental Chemicals: Are They More Vulnerable? , Chuck Lichon

Are children more suscep ble to trace environmental chemicals, or is their metabolism and physiology actually more protec ve than that of adults? Well that depends, and with credible scien fic studies, there is some surprising evidence that may prove contradictory to such assump ons. Objec ve #1: Think more clearly about trace chemicals and suscep bility of children. Objec ve #2: Be able to locate credible resources on this subject for further review. Objec ve #3: Develop an insight comparison between adult and children suscep bility to environmental chemicals. CHUCK LICHON, NEHA Chuck has a B.

Friday 8:30 a.m.—9:10 a.m. Plant Essen al Oils in Food Safety, Yifan Zhang

Oregano oil nanoemulsions were formulated with a food‐grade emulsifier and evaluated for their efficacy in inac va ng the growth of foodborne bacteria on fresh le uce. Le uce was ar ficially inoculated with Listeria, Salmonella, and E. coli O157:H7, followed by a one‐minute dipping in oregano oil nanoemulsions (0.05% or 0.1%). Compared to control, 0.05% nanoemulsion showed an up to 3.44, 2.31, and 3.05 log CFU/g reduc ons in Listeria, Salmonella, and E. coli O157:H7, respec vely. Up to 3.57, 3.26, and 3.35 log CFU/g reduc ons were observed on the same bacteria by the 0.1% treatment. The data suggest that applying oregano oil nanoemulsions to fresh produce may be an effec ve an microbial control strategy.
