SUMMARY:Understanding the PFAS Regulatory Framework: What to Know and Watch For
DESCRIPTION:PFAS regulations are rapidly evolving at the federal and state levels\, creating new compliance challenges and financial pressures for water systems across the country. Small and mid-sized utilities\, in particular\, must navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape while managing limited resources. Understanding what’s required now – and what’s on the horizon – is critical to protecting both public health and system sustainability. \nThis one-hour webinar will break down the current PFAS regulatory framework\, highlight key compliance risks and monitoring requirements\, and explore practical\, cost-effective strategies for managing PFAS-related obligations. The session is designed for utility managers\, public works directors\, finance and grant administrators\, and organizations focused on safe drinking water who are looking to stay informed on regulatory developments and plan effectively for the future. \nPresenters: \n– Carolyn Berndt\, Legislative Director for Sustainability on the Federal Advocacy team at the National League of Cities (NLC) \n– Charlotte Mitchell\, Associate Legislative Director for Environment\, Energy and Land Use policy at National Association of Counties (NACo) \n– Alexis Lan\, Physical Scientist and Policy Analyst in the Office of Water\, Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

SUMMARY:The Clean Water Act Puzzle
DESCRIPTION:In 1972\, The Clean Water Act (CWA) was the first of the major environmental statute passed by Congress for enactment by the then fledgling Environmental Protection Agency. The wide-ranging statute covers a multitude of activities that were designed to work in unison to restore\, maintain\, and protect the nation’s surface waters. Because of the expansiveness of the CWA\, practitioners may only deal with a discreet portion (e.g.\, NPDES permitting) without understanding how that discreet portion fits into the objectives of the overall Act – like pieces of a puzzle fitting together to create a big picture. Join us for this no-cost webinar with Mike Tate\, a seasoned expert with over 40 years of experience in dealing with all aspects of the CWA. You’ll get an insider’s look at how visionary the CWA was and still is in its goal of improving the quality of the nation’s surface waters. \nLearning Objectives: \n– Understand the structure of the Clean Water Act – the six Titles and key Sections in those Titles \n– Understand how each Title of the Clean Water Act builds on the others to protect and maintain the quality of the nation’s surface waters \n– Understand how the Clean Water Act statute is supported by federal regulations \n– Gain an appreciation for the visionary aspects of Clean Water Act \nPresenter: Mike Tate\, PE.
