SUMMARY:Wildfire Impacts on Water Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Over 56\,000 wildfires were reported in 2023 according to the Department of Interior’s National Interagency Fire Center. Many of these fires have destroyed countless acres of land as well as any structure on them. In August 2023\, a wildfire in Maui\, Hawai’i impacted over 2\,000 structures and is considered the deadliest United States wildfire in at least the past 100 years. Contamination of drinking water systems and premise plumbing from wildfires is an emergency concern\, especially in the Western United States. Much about wildfire-associated contamination from benzene and other hazardous materials is not well understood. Knowledge gaps complicate response and recovery actions and efforts to build water systems resilience against future wildfires. \nThis presentation will discuss EPA’s emergency response efforts to the Maui wildfires and ongoing research to further understand contamination of water infrastructure. Research topics include uptake and release of contaminants in hot and cold pipes commonly used in premise plumbing and the effects of hot gasses and smoke on drinking water pipes.

SUMMARY:Assessing Community Vulnerabilities to Potential Contaminant Releases from Extreme Events
DESCRIPTION:Extreme events (e.g.\, excessive heat\, droughts\, floods\, wildfires) are projected to be more frequent and intense under future climate scenarios. During extreme events\, contaminated sites and waste management facilities have the potential to release contaminants and impact nearby communities. Understanding the risks to communities from potential exposures to water- and airborne contaminants underlies preparedness\, emergency response\, and mitigation planning. To better understand and communicate what is known and unknown about such risks\, EPA ORD developed indicators of environmental\, public health\, socioeconomic\, or other conditions to assess community vulnerabilities to potential contaminant releases from extreme events. The Handbook on Indicators of Community Vulnerability to Extreme Events: Considering Sites and Waste Management Facilities provides the conceptual framework and indicators approach. Join the webinar to learn more about the handbook and how to use the approach.

SUMMARY:Coastal Dissolved Oxygen Dynamics and A Brief Introduction to the Hypoxia Task Force
DESCRIPTION:Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia Task Force: Advancing Nutrient Reductions – Jake Greif and Whitney King\, EPA Office of Water\n\nThe Hypoxia Task Force (HTF) is a collaborative partnership of federal agencies\, states\, and Tribes in the Mississippi/Atchafalaya River Basin with the shared goal of reducing the size and extent of the hypoxic zone in the northern Gulf of Mexico. This presentation will introduce the HTF\, including its history\, Gulf Hypoxia Action Plan\, and goals. It will also describe the Gulf Hypoxia Program (GHP)\, which provides significant funding from BIL to support the Gulf Hypoxia Action Plan and the actions GHP recipients are taking to engage stakeholders\, expand capacity\, and improve water quality. \n\nUSGS Long-term Monitoring: Measuring Progress Toward Nutrient Reduction Goals Set by the Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia Task Force – Gretchen Oelsner\, U.S. Geological Survey\n\nSince the early 2000s\, USGS has supported NOAA and the Interagency Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia Task Force collective efforts to track long-term changes in nutrient inputs to the Gulf. This presentation will focus on the long-term trends in nitrogen and phosphorus loads in rivers throughout the Mississippi-Atchafalaya watershed and to the Gulf of Mexico as a measure of progress towards the nutrient reduction targets and to describe how hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico might be linked to nutrients coming from throughout the watershed. \n\nMeasuring and Modeling Oxygen Dynamics in Coastal Ecosystems: Application of ORD’s Coastal Generalized Ecosystem Model (CGEM) – Brandon Jarvis\, EPA Office of Research and Development\n\nThe Coastal Generalized Ecosystem Model (CGEM) is a biogeochemical model designed to address eutrophication\, dissolved oxygen\, and acidification dynamics in coastal and freshwater ecosystems. This presentation will highlight CGEM’s application to the northern Gulf of Mexico\, which has demonstrated new ecological theories on hypoxia\, informed water quality governance\, and guided decision making via ensemble modeling approaches. It will also cover the development and application of a multimedia modeling framework to more effectively evaluate climate change impacts.
