Ask for the Tribal rate of $67 per night, and reference the Water Quality Training. The training sessions will be held in one of the hotel conference rooms so please inquire as to its specific location when you check in. The hotel is located approximately 82 miles north of the Reno airport, just off of Hwy 395, and it is normally a 90 minute drive.
During the third session in late June on sample collection, bring appropriate clothing and footwear to keep comfortable in the heat and to wear while collecting samples and working around and in water. If you have any questions on the training agenda or optional laboratory tour, contact John Fields at 916 978-5280, jfields@usbr.gov or Bob Hall at 415 947-4123, hall.robertk@epa.gov .
Some of your colleagues who have registered for the training did not provide an email address so please share the above information with them.
