SUMMARY:How We Save Clean Energy Programs: Budget Explainer & Advocacy Training
DESCRIPTION:Have you benefitted from clean energy or climate investments in the IRA? \nAll across the country\, communities\, businesses\, and individuals have seen firsthand what the clean energy and climate investments in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) can do. They’ve seen how the IRA is creating jobs\, reducing costs for families\, supercharging clean energy projects\, and reducing dangerous climate pollution. \nBut all of these programs are in real danger right now\, because they can be gutted or fully repealed during the budget reconciliation process which is already underway in Congress. \nGood news\, though! Individuals and groups with stories to tell about the positive impact of these programs have unique power in this landscape. \nJoin us on Monday\, March 3 to learn about budget reconciliation and just how state advocates can save the IRA’s clean energy programs.

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:Federal Tax Credit Assistance for Maritime Users
DESCRIPTION:Join L4GG and Washington Maritime Blue on March 14 at 11am to learn more about how your clean energy fueled shorepower project\, EV Charging Infrastructure\, or clean port handling equipment could be eligible for federal tax credits. Even more importantly\, meet the team who is going to help you learn\, plan\, and file for those tax credits for free\, regardless of if your project is only an idea or fully operational. This webinar and service are provided to Washingtonians through the Washington State Clean Energy Tax Credit Assistance Program.

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:Addressing Emerging Contaminants in Wastewater Treatment Systems
DESCRIPTION:The efficacy of treatment systems in removing a range of emerging contaminants\, such as microplastics\, pharmaceuticals and personal care products\, harmful algal blooms\, 1-4-dioxane\, and 6-PPD\, from water is often unclear. States have expressed interest in understanding removal rates and viable treatment technologies to address public health concerns. This webinar will provide an overview of work by our Office of Research and Development to develop a framework of wastewater treatment processes\, focusing on removal rates of certain emerging contaminants\, as well as associated life cycle costs and environmental impacts. This work will give states and communities more resources to understand how to treat contaminants in their water systems\, helping ensure clean water for all Americans.
