Integrating Water and Waste Programs to Restore Watersheds (Webcast)

Hosted by U.S. EPA

Too often the approach taken to manage our resources is based on regulatory statutes and program organizational structure, rather than based on the resource itself. The two major USEPA programs that are actively involved in resource assessment and restoration include the water and waste programs. While these programs use very similar, and sometimes identical, approaches to assessment and cleanup, they have most often worked in a parallel fashion. Until now. This handbook takes an integrated approach to managing our watersheds and shows the reader how they can leverage the strengths of the various EPA programs to achieve results. The Webcast instructors will provide an overview of the document, the driving forces behind its development, key features, and show users how best to use the information provided. A case study will be presented that highlights how this integrated approach was used to save money and restore a contaminated watershed.

The intended audience for this Webcast is EPA headquarters and regional staff in the water and waste programs working on assessment or cleanup projects in watersheds contaminated by hazardous substances.

Registration for this Webcast opens June 29. You must register in advance to participate and your computer must have the capability of playing sound. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with complete participation instructions. Please note that there are a limited number of spaces available, so register early to guarantee your spot. Space is limited, so we encourage you to reserve a conference room and invite your colleagues and other partners to participate. Closed-captioning will be available.
