Overcoming Barriers to Equitable Consideration of Decentralized
Wastewater Treatment
-
Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF)
Times:
2:00 pm - 4:30 pm, EST
Cost:
Free
About:
This seminar will present the final results from an ongoing
WERF research project, Overcoming Barriers to Evaluation and
Use of Decentralized Wastewater Technologies and Management
(04-DEC-2). The project considered barriers both to the use
of individual on-site systems (septic systems) and cluster
systems, where part of the treatment and dispersal process
takes place offsite. The focus of the project was on what
engineers can do to overcome barriers. Solutions and actions
were developed which will help ensure that decentralized wastewater
treatment options are considered more frequently.

About:
The Office of Water published a new MS4 Evaluation Guide on
EPA's stormwater website. Available only on the web, the Guide is designed for use
by NPDES authorities to evaluate the quality of Phase I and
Phase II MS4 programs: for permit compliance, technical assistance
and other purposes. It can be used for comprehensive program
evaluations or for certain components of an MS4 program. MS4
program managers may also find it helpful as they evaluate
their own programs. The document is being provided in Microsoft
Word format so NPDES programs can modify it to meet the unique
components of their programs such as those required by state
regulations. EPA would like to recognize all of the state
and EPA regional staff who provided input on this very useful
document. - [ Register

About:
The acronym most commonly used to refer to mutual aid and
assistance networks is WARN, which stands for Water/Wastewater
Agency Response Networks. Developing a state-wide mutual aid
and assistance network, or a WARN, is a low-cost, highly effective,
all-hazards approach to preparing your utility for a local,
regional, state-wide, or national disaster. Brought to you
free of charge through a USEPA grant, this webcast will provide
you with an understanding of WARN, an extremely important
concept relative to emergency response planning and response.
Specifically,
this webcast will cover:
The fundamentals of WARN, including what it is and why it’s
recently become a “hot” topic; The benefits of
having a WARN and the operational mechanics of why having
an agreement is important; How WARN fits in with the various
federal initiatives, moving from intrastate to interstate
mutual aid and how interstate mutual aid works, and the nexus
of WARN with the Emergency Management Assistance Compac, Testimony
of Effectiveness of mutual aid networks from someone that’s
used them. - [ Register
