This will be a 2-part webinar, focusing on Domestic Wells and Radon in Real Estate Transactions.

Domestic Well Safety Program (DWSP): The two main topics of the DWSP covered in this webinar are: domestic/private well best practices and the Domestic Water Testing Act (ORS 448.271). Learn how contaminants affect human health, what the main contaminants are in Oregon, and what watch out for in wells during real estate transactions. In addition, DWSP will explain statute and rules regarding the Domestic Water Testing Act, address common misconceptions, and introduce the new online submission for DWTA test results. 
 
Radon is an issue which has been largely overlooked on the coast, however recent testing has indicated that there is cause for concern as we've seen results which have far exceeded the 4.0 piC/L threshold. The EPA SIRG grant includes an objective to raise awareness among realtors and encourage more testing as part of the normal protocol during the course of a real estate transaction.

This is a live webinar. A recording will be available for purchase after the webinar. 1 CE hour in Environmental Protection Issues in Real Estate.
