SUMMARY:Lead Reduction Updates and Lead Service Line Identification and Replacement
DESCRIPTION:This special extended webinar event includes talks given at the EPA 21st Annual Drinking Water Workshop on September 17-19\, 2024. Presentations will include an overview of EPA regulations and programs designed to reduce lead in drinking water and current efforts to provide technical assistance for lead service line identification; a review of new technologies\, methods\, and predictive modeling tools for identifying service line materials; and an overview of sampling methods for identifying lead service lines. Q&A sessions will follow each presentation. \nInformation on the annual drinking water workshop: [epa.gov/water-research/21st-annual-epa-drinking-water-workshop-small-system-challenges-and-solutions]epa.gov/water-research/21st-annual-epa-drinking-water-workshop-small-system-challenges-and-solutions.

SUMMARY:EPA Tools & Resources Training Webinar: ECOTOX Knowledgebase and PFAS Updates
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will demonstrate EPA’s Ecotoxicology Knowledgebase (ECOTOX) tool\, which gives quick access to reliable and up-to-date information about how chemicals potentially affect ecologically relevant species. ECOTOX is a comprehensive\, publicly available knowledgebase providing single chemical environmental toxicity data for over 12\,000 chemicals and species\, including aquatic life\, terrestrial plants\, and wildlife. ECOTOX provides robust curated toxicity data for aquatic and terrestrial organisms to support ecological risk assessments\, site assessments\, criteria/benchmark development\, and other research. The knowledgebase is additionally used to aid the prioritization and assessment of chemicals. By leveraging this knowledge\, EPA remains committed to providing clear\, actionable\, and accessible information about PFAS to the public\, researchers\, and risk assessors. This presentation will include information on updates to ECOTOX data for PFAS to support hazard evaluation and development of ecological risk assessment screening values. The ECOTOX Knowledgebase Resource Hub can be accessed here.

SUMMARY:Local Partnerships: Developing Solutions for Rapid Needs
DESCRIPTION:Working collaboratively with a variety of partners\, including EPA regions\, states\, and Tribes\, is a vital feature of ORD research and its goal to address high priority near-term community needs. Directly working with partners provides a valuable opportunity to strengthen relationships between researchers and communities. Researchers collaborated with local partners in EPA Region 6 to better understand Naegleria fowleri\, also known as brain-eating amoeba\, and its potential to contaminate splash pads. \nOver the past several years in EPA Region 6\, splash pads connected to disinfected drinking water have been at risk of contamination. Presenters will discuss their investigation into this issue\, identify best management practices\, and provide risk mitigation tools for prevention and detection of various waterborne disease outbreaks.

SUMMARY:EPA Tools & Resources Webinar - Better Together: Participatory Science Resources & Opportunities at EPA
DESCRIPTION:Participatory science uses the collective strength and knowledge of the public to collect\, analyze\, and use data to answer environmental and public health questions. Participatory science is the involvement of the public in scientific research and includes a broad and inclusive array of activities. Projects answer wide ranging questions\, can engage the public in any or all steps of the scientific process\, and operate using diverse models ranging from community-led to institutionally driven. These efforts facilitate community engagement and an increase in place-based connections\, environmental stewardship\, and scientific literacy. EPA has a long history of engaging data collected by the public. In recent years\, the agency has collaborated with Tribal Nations\, state agencies\, academia\, technical support providers\, and volunteer scientists to explore effective collaborations and approaches to implementation. This webinar will explore three areas of participatory science focus at EPA: role of participatory science at EPA\, key considerations and resources available when starting a project\, and lessons learned and project spotlights.
