SUMMARY:Funding Resources: Lead Service Line Replacement and Emerging Contaminants
DESCRIPTION:1. Funding for States to Support Lead Service Line Replacements and Addressing Emerging Contaminants. The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF)—a federal-state partnership between EPA and states—can help communities improve their drinking water infrastructure by replacing lead service lines (LSLs) and reducing exposure to emerging contaminants\, including PFAS. The Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act (IIJA) provides $15 billion in funding specifically for replacing LSLs and $4 billion to address emerging contaminants in drinking water. IIJA provides an additional $11.7 billion in general-purpose funding through the DWSRF\, which can also be used for lead pipe replacement\, emerging contaminants\, or other drinking water infrastructure projects. This presentation will provide an overview of the DWSRF\, discuss borrower and project eligibilities for LSL identification and replacement\, and cover eligibilities for emerging contaminants in drinking water. \nKeelan Baldwin\, EPA Office of Water \nKeelan is a physical scientist with EPA’s Office of Water (OW)\, Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water (OGWDW). She serves on the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Team\, where she assists with lead service line replacements and emerging contaminants under the Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act. Previously\, Keelan worked with EPA as an ORISE research participant. \n2. Grant Funding for Public Water Systems to Address Emerging Contaminants in Small or Disadvantaged Communities. The Emerging Contaminants in Small or Disadvantaged Communities (EC-SDC) grant program appropriated $5 billion of non-competitive funding awards over five years for states\, territories\, and Tribes to improve drinking water quality. The grants empower them to better support their eligible communities in addressing emerging contaminants\, including PFAS. This presentation will provide an overview of the EC-SDC grant program\, including project and community eligibilities and examples. \nLida Daly\, EPA Office of Water \nLida is with EPA’s OW\, OGWDW where she leads the Emerging Contaminants in Small or Disadvantaged Communities grant program for states and territories. Prior to joining EPA\, she worked at the United States Peace Corps Headquarters and previously served as a Peace Corps volunteer (PCV) in the Kyrgyz Republic working with rural women and sustainable community development. As a PCV\, Lida led a grant-funded drip irrigation project supporting rural farmers\, which fueled her passion to ensure that communities have access to water.

SUMMARY:AI 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. \nThe 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:Connecting Soil Health and Water Quality in Agricultural Systems
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the Relationship Between Soil Health Practices and Water Cycling – Andrea Basche\, University of Nebraska-Lincoln \n\nRetaining water in the soil is critical to ensure that farmers can take advantage of rainfall when it is in excess and can hold onto it when it is not. In this presentation\, the relationship between soil health practices\, such as the use of cover crops\, and water cycling will be highlighted. The presentation will also highlight research on multiple scales in the state of Nebraska\, including on-farm experiments and watershed analyses\, demonstrating the potential of soil health practices to improve water and nitrogen cycling\, and to reduce the frequency of high-flow water events. \n  \n\nConnecting Soil Health Practices to Water Quality in Kansas – Emily Nusz\, EPA Region 7\, and Lena Wang\, EPA Office of Research and Development (ORISE)\n\nNitrogen is an important nutrient for crop yield and quality\, but excess nitrogen can leach from fields affecting groundwater and surface water quality. To improve soil nutrient retention\, many conservation groups and funding agencies are focused on building soil health in agricultural land. This research seeks to establish a monitoring framework for quantifying the benefits of soil health practices as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method to promote nutrient use-efficiency and protect water supplies that would benefit many small/rural communities. Our research indicates that use of soil health practices may increase nutrient storage and reduce nutrient leaching throughout the winter\, thus providing more nutrients in spring for crop growth.  This is valuable information for farmers and others working to improve soil health. \nPresenters and Moderator \nAndrea Basche\, University of Nebraska-Lincoln \nAndrea Basche is an Associate Professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture. Her research team focuses on crop practices that offer “continuous roots” in the soil\, and the agronomy and resource conservation benefits they offer. \nEmily Nusz\, EPA Region 7 \nEmily Nusz is the Clean Water Act Section 319\, Nonpoint Source Water Quality Pollution\, State Coordinator for the State of Kansas at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\, Region 7. She works closely with the State of Kansas to implement soil health practices for water quality benefit as a technical advisor and project officer. \nLena Wang\, EPA Office of Research and Development (ORISE) \nLena Wang (pronounced Lina Wong) is an ORISE fellow based in EPA ORD’s Pacific Ecological Systems Division focusing on soil science and water quality. She earned a M.S. in Water Resources Sciences from Oregon State University in 2023. She is currently working as an ORISE Fellow with Jana Compton and Renée Brooks to understand how land management may influence nitrate leaching. \nJana Compton\, EPA Office of Research and Development – Moderator \nJana Compton is a research ecologist in EPA’s Office of Research and Development. Her research focuses on the connections between nutrient cycling on land and water quality.

SUMMARY:Implementing Machine Learning Process Controls at Water Resource Recovery Facilities
DESCRIPTION:Improvements in process monitoring and control at water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) could result in reductions in electricity consumption\, chemical inputs\, footprint\, and greenhouse gas emissions\, as well as increased energy and nutrient recovery and improved water quality. However\, many current WRRF data collection\, monitoring\, and control approaches use 20th century process monitoring and control systems. \nThis webcast is designed for wastewater professionals looking to increase understanding of machine learning (ML) and how to implement data-driven process controls at WRRFs. The webcast features results from a U.S. Department of Energy-funded project Data-Driven Process Control for Maximizing Resource Efficiency (5141) which has developed and demonstrated data-driven process controls at full-scale facilities for a variety of applications that collectively provide a whole plant approach and offer substantial energy and resource recovery benefits. \nThe webcast will provide an overview of what artificial intelligence (AI) and ML are\, including basic terminology. Participants will learn the steps necessary for ML control implementation based on a framework developed by the project team. Case studies will be presented to illustrate the steps involved. The presenters will also highlight an ML Toolkit that the project created\, which includes project write-ups\, code notebooks\, video walkthroughs\, and other resources for users. \nPresenters: \n\nKathryn Newhart\, Assistant Professor\, Oregon State University\nJoe Lybik\, PhD Candidate\, University of Michigan\nJeff Sparks\, Director of Digital Water\, Hampton Roads Sanitation District\nRudy Maltos\, Associate Engineer\, Metro Water Recovery\nNam Ngo\, Program Manager\, Research\, DC Water\n\nModerators: \n\nJeff Moeller\, Director of Research Services\, The Water Research Foundation\nNancy Love\, Professor\, University of Michigan

SUMMARY:Managing Contaminated Drinking Water Post-Hurricane
DESCRIPTION:Drinking water infrastructure may become contaminated during a hurricane by tidal surge\, flooding\, pollutants in the water\, or physical damage to the distribution system. Many communities experienced damage to drinking water systems following Hurricanes Harvey and Maria (2017)\, and as recently as Helene (2024). When community infrastructure is damaged from storms\, contaminated floodwaters can become a problem. It is important for emergency responders to understand how water systems can be decontaminated and returned to service so that communities can begin to recover. \nThis webinar will discuss a simulated post-hurricane contamination of a drinking water distribution system that was conducted at EPA’s Water Security Test Bed (WSTB)\, a first-of-its-scale replication of a typical municipal drinking water piping system. The WSTB allows researchers and responders to better understand that behavior of water systems under real-world conditions. For this experiment\, the 450-foot long pipe and associated premise plumbing were contaminated with diesel fuel\, saltwater\, and E. coli. The presenter will discuss how the system was monitored before\, during\, and after decontamination and provide the results.

SUMMARY:Emergency Response:  Drinking Water Supply Planning and Treatment Technology Deployment
DESCRIPTION:Planning for an Emergency Drinking Water Supply\nDuring an incident that disrupts the availability of drinking water on a large-scale or regional basis\, clarity in the roles and responsibilities of those involved with locating\, securing\, and delivering an emergency drinking water supply (EDWS) will be critical. An EDWS is alternate drinking water supply (e.g.\, bottled/bulk water) provided to residents when a community’s drinking water utility can no longer treat and/or distribute water. Provision of an EDWS involves the development of an emergency drinking water plan by a local water utility and also involves the collaboration and partnership between various levels of local government. This presentation will discuss how small drinking water utilities can develop an EDWS plan and coordinate with other local partners to provide emergency drinking water when there is a disaster. \nPortable Treatment System to Provide Drinking Water During Emergencies\nFollowing an emergency event\, communities need access to clean water for drinking\, cooking\, cleaning\, and medical triage. EPA researchers partnered with the nonprofit organization\, WaterStep\, to develop a modular\, mobile water treatment system known as Water on Wheels– Emergency Mobile Water Treatment System (WOW Cart). This presentation will discuss this inexpensive and versatile water treatment system that’s about the size of a shopping cart. It is configured with multiple treatment technologies and is equipped with alternative power sources. The system is easy to operate and can be deployed to critical infrastructure ahead of oncoming natural events to build resiliency.

SUMMARY:Mapping Potential Wetland Areas for Landscape and Nutrient Management Across Conterminous United States
DESCRIPTION:Advancements in Mapping Potential Wetland Areas Across the Conterminous United States – Lauren Krohmer\, EPA Office of Research and Development\n\nIncreased availability and accessibility to 10-m landcover\, topographic\, and environmental data alongside tools and computers to process these data at the continental scale support large-scale landcover modeling. EnviroAtlas researchers harnessed 17 datasets at 10-m resolution and the Random Forest algorithm to identify locations across the conterminous United States that are likely to support a wetland ecosystem based on biophysical characteristics. The associated suite of products from this research provides opportunities to highlight locations for wetland construction\, conservation\, and restoration to contribute targeted ecosystem services related to nearby threats\, including pollution from agricultural runoff and flooding. \n\nInterception of Agricultural Surface Runoff by Wetlands Across CONUS – Scott Alford\, EPA Office of Research and Development\n\nWetlands are widely valued for their effectiveness in reducing nutrient loads in surface waters\, but there is growing need for targeted wetland conservation and construction to maximize impacts on water quality management while efficiently investing resources in wetland projects. This presentation will describe efforts to identify existing and potential wetland areas that intercept agricultural nonpoint source pollution in the form of surface runoff as a means of nutrient management across the conterminous United States (CONUS). This framework represents the initial steps in developing a CONUS scale wetland prioritization tool to be used for water quality management.
