SUMMARY:Improving Water Quality with Sensors - Success Stories
DESCRIPTION:From sewers to Great Lakes: scaling sensor systems in your community. Learn about saving money and making smarter decisions with sensors from a review of two case studies from Michigan and Ohio. \nHave you kept up with advancements in environmental sensing? Scared of talking to salespeople instead of scientists and engineers about new technology? Worried about the cost of scaling and being locked to proprietary systems? Well so are we! That’s why we founded Freeboard Technology in 2022 as a subsidiary of LimnoTech. Born out of decades of experience monitoring the Great Lakes and supporting hundreds of communities with environmental issues\, Freeboard is transforming monitoring and real-time sensing. \nJoin this webinar to hear our approach to modernizing environmental infrastructure to make important decisions right now. Although we love fancy modeling and using cutting edge AI\, those tools are useless without high-quality direct observations of your river\, lake\, stream\, wetland\, or urban stormwater system. Hear how organizations have trusted Freeboard to select\, build\, deploy\, and operate critical real-time sensing systems. The webinar will review two success stories. The first one in Michigan increased the number of observations in priority watersheds ten-fold to track agricultural impacts to harmful algal blooms. The second focuses on reducing combined sewer overflow impacts in small communities with limited resources in Ohio. Both take advantage of Freeboard’s unique ability to help your organization build and operate new sensor systems quickly. Our engineers and scientists are using the latest global innovations in sensors\, secure cloud infrastructure\, and small batch manufacturing to massively grow the number of sensors deployed by your organization.

SUMMARY:EPA Tools & Resources Webinar: PFAS Destruction by a Hazardous Waste Incinerator
DESCRIPTION:The complete destruction of PFAS is important to help protect human health and the environment. Technologies that can destroy PFAS are needed to treat stockpiles of materials with high concentrations of PFAS\, such as aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) and other contaminated environmental matrices. PFAS properties make them difficult to destroy\, and other fluorinated compounds and PFAS may be formed as byproducts (known as products of incomplete destruction or PIDs) if conditions are not adequate for their destruction. It is important to evaluate the efficacies of various technologies for the destruction of PFAS. This presentation will describe the development of Appendix A of EPA’s 2024 Interim Guidance on the Destruction and Disposal of PFAS and Materials Containing PFAS and its use to evaluate thermal treatment technologies\, including results of an evaluation of a full-scale hazardous waste incinerator to evaluate air emissions and the effectiveness of incineration. Results show promise for both incineration and the ability to conduct a comprehensive characterization of an incinerator (report).

SUMMARY:SALT Framework for Risk Communication
DESCRIPTION:Risk communication is communication intended to supply audience members with the information they need to make informed\, independent judgements about risks to health\, safety\, and the environment. Risk communication should be meaningful\, understandable\, and actionable. As the U.S. EPA pursues its mission to protect human health and the environment\, EPA staff practice risk communication every day. Effectively communicating science and potential health risk is one of the most important jobs we have. The SALT Framework is based on a process of Strategy\, Action\, and Learning and is supported by Tools that together provide a research-based approach and best practices for communicating our work to the American people. This webinar will go over how to use the SALT framework as well as a discussion of key practices and principles for effective risk communication. While the SALT framework is intended for EPA staff\, the guiding principles can be applied to any organization’s risk communication efforts.

SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence in Disaster Preparedness\, Response\, and Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Disaster recovery requires a coordinated set of actions and strategies aimed at restoring affected areas immediately following an event. As the number of disasters per year significantly increases\, emergency managers and responders are inundated with large amounts of data processing and decision-making required for successful response and recovery outcomes. Artificial intelligence (AI) has a significant potential for facilitating many of these activities. By enhancing decision-making and communication\, AI would allow officials to concentrate more effectively on critical aspects of the response. The EPA’s Homeland Security Research Program has been working to leverage AI and enhance disaster readiness for several years. This presentation will showcase real-world applications of AI and its future potential in disaster preparedness and recovery. The EPA is researching AI technology integration in a way that can significantly improve predictive capabilities\, streamline response efforts\, and optimize recovery processes\, ultimately reducing the impact on communities. This presentation will highlight successful implementation of AI in current disaster management scenarios\, providing tangible examples of technology-driven improvements in environmental cleanup outcomes.

SUMMARY:Sanitary Survey App for Marine and Fresh Waters and Data Export Tool
DESCRIPTION:The EPA Sanitary Survey App for Marine and Fresh Waters is a free tool that waterbody managers can use to record waterbody data for evaluation. Users can record water quality data\, weather conditions\, waterbody conditions\, recreational activities\, wildlife observations\, potential sources of pollution\, harmful algal blooms\, photos of the site and other related information. Users may also export the data they collected to analyze for use in predictive models and to inform management decisions. The data is geolocated and can be mapped and visualized. The app includes routine surveys that are useful for regular monitoring as well as comprehensive annual sanitary surveys. There are different surveys for marine waters and for freshwater lakes\, rivers and streams. State and local officials can use the survey results to decide how to allocate resources to help improve water quality and protect recreators’ health. The webinar will include a demonstration of how to fill out the desktop version of the Sanitary Survey App and how to use the Data Export Tool to create spreadsheets and maps.

SUMMARY:Tribal Drinking Water Data Investigation + Insights
DESCRIPTION:Nearly 50 percent of Tribal homes on Tribal lands lack access to reliable water sources\, compared to 1 percent of U.S. homes overall. Tribal Nations operate in a complex\, oft misunderstood and sometimes ignored jurisdictional landscape through which drinking water is funded\, provided\, and regulated. Federal data collection\, data publication\, and subsequent research frequently fails to capture the political realities in which Tribal Nations operate. As a result\, statistics\, recommendations\, and policy papers fail to capture the unique challenges that Tribes face in accessing drinking water\, and the unique levers that Tribes have to address these challenges. \nJust as the federal government has a trust responsibility to provide sanitation and drinking water to Tribes\, the federal government has a trust responsibility to provide Tribes with relevant data and analysis tools that are useful\, accurate\, and consistent with Tribal data sovereignty. \nWith this in mind\, we asked: what Tribal drinking water data is publicly available\, how is it collected\, how is it published\, and what are the implications for Tribal data? Join us to learn more about our investigation\, analysis and insights.

SUMMARY:Risk-Based Framework for Fit-for-Purpose Water Reuse: State of the Science
DESCRIPTION:Risk-based water reuse management continues to gain traction throughout the U.S. This presentation will introduce the recent EPA report Risk-Based Framework for Developing Microbial Treatment Targets for Water Reuse\, which describes the conceptual framework underpinning these approaches and provides a detailed discussion of current scientific assumptions for conducting the associated quantitative microbial risk assessments (QMRA). In addition to enabling calculation of new fit-for-purpose water treatment levels\, it includes computed pathogen log reduction targets (LRTs) across a variety of municipal and onsite reuse configurations. Implementation considerations\, key sources of uncertainty\, and future research needs are also identified with an emphasis on removal crediting processes.

SUMMARY:EPA’s Flood Cleanup Resources: Promoting Community Resilience through Risk Communication
DESCRIPTION:After a flood\, affected residents often want to assess the condition of their homes and businesses\, get rid of debris and muck\, and repair damaged property—however\, flooded buildings contain potential health risks. Getting information to the public after a disaster about what these health risks are and how to avoid them can be difficult. EPA’s Office of Research Development and Region 4 (Southeast) used the EPA’s risk communication framework and human-centered design techniques to figure out what information people affected by a flood need and how they make cleanup decisions. They used this input to create a website on how to safely clean out and fix up flooded homes. The website contains short how-to videos with step-by-step instruction from safely entering a flooded building to mold remediation techniques. The public can use this website to reduce hazards in the home after a flooding event to protect their health. It helps communities recover as quickly and safely as possible. The webinar will review the risk communication and human-centered design strategies used to develop the Flooded Homes Cleanup Guidance website and provide an overview of the website and its key features.
