Course Description
The New Jersey statute (P.L. 2021, c.183) enacted on July 22, 2021 requires a series of compliance deadlines for action by public water systems pursuant to the removal of all Lead Service Lines (LSLs) within 10 years. Water systems must now update their inventories and replace their lead service lines, both utility and customer-owned by 2031. Planning, executing, and troubleshooting are all parts of project management. The law sets forward an aggressive timeline and a funding challenge. Learn about: Replacement Cost, Technical Assistance, Program Outreach and Communication, Federal LCRR and Program Implementation from expert consultants, State representatives and Peers.

The Watershed Institute welcomes you to our Sixth Annual Watershed Conference on February 10, 2023 and February 17, 2023 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The two-day event will be held in-person at The Watershed Institute with the option to attend virtually.
<div>
Most waterways in New Jersey are impaired due to polluted stormwater runoff from overdevelopment. Previous efforts to tackle these issues largely focused on municipalities working separately from one other, however water does not confine itself to political boundaries. Municipal leaders, engineers, watershed advocates, and community members must work together across municipal boundaries, in a regional approach, to repair our degraded waterways, a problem worsened by the impacts of climate change with more intense and frequent storms.
</div>
<div>
At the conference, learn about new Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) requirements and solutions that go beyond the proposed minimum standards. We will explore existing tools and learn how to engage our communities through roundtable discussions and interactive sessions. Three conference tracks will be offered to present the most relevant information for municipal representatives, engineers and stormwater implementation professionals, and the general public. Together, we can use the new MS4 requirements as an opportunity to advocate for local and regional solutions that restore our waterways.

<div class="controls">The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invites communities to join our webinar to learn how the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) funding will help communities improve their water and wastewater infrastructure. The BIL will invest $43.4 billion through the State Revolving Funds, with a significant portion of funding provided as grants or principal forgiveness loans to disadvantaged communities through Clean Water State Revolving Funds (CWSRFs) and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds (DWSRFs).</div>
</div>

The new $15 billion in federal funding for lead service line replacements, as vital and historic as it is, is dwarfed by the estimated $47 billion need to address this public health crisis, one that affects primarily the most vulnerable and needy among us, often people of color. It is possible for local water leaders to close this funding gap. WaterNow Alliance and Environmental Policy Innovation Center will host a 1-hour virtual webinar for utility and community leaders nationwide on how they can access capital markets to maximize access to federal funding and accelerate the rate of lead line replacements on private property.
The webinar has 5 objectives—
1. Highlight the One Water and multiple community benefits of replacing lead service lines, particularly on private properties where they are the most prevalent and most likely to be harming disadvantaged households and communities of color. 
2. Feature perspectives from capital market investors about their interest in investing in lead service line replacement programs as a sound investment and to accelerate these needed replacements and protect public health. 
3. Equip participants with the knowledge of how to leverage local financing approaches to maximize access to federal dollars and accelerate the pace of replacements. 
4. Feature a real-world case study from communities and utilities replacing lead service lines at a faster pace than most. 
5. Answer questions about how to leverage capital markets for lead service line replacements.

Introducing River Network’s new resource on tracking common sources of pollution and tools for community action in the Delaware Basin! Join us on January 31st at 10am to learn about tools and programs that can help you and your volunteers identify pollution sources – including combined sewer overflows, improperly maintained construction sites, road salt, and flooding &#8211; and take action. You’ll also learn about how groups in the Delaware and throughout the country have created innovative programs to combat these threats to water quality health.
We will hear from Elizabeth Cute of Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper about their bacteria monitoring program and action steps they have taken on CSO discharges and water quality impairments. Ryan Neuman of Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed Partnership (TTF) and Dave Bell, TTF volunteer, will discuss their experiences with monitoring and reporting on failing construction site pollution controls and notifying their local decision-makers on excessive road salt application and implications for their local streams.

Join us for the Newark premiere of the independent documentary film American River.
The Passaic River flows right through our community, but for most of us it remains a mystery. Come with us on this epic, 80-mile kayak trip across New Jersey and get to know our historic river and the heroic efforts to save it. From its pristine beginnings in a wildlife preserve to its industrial end in Newark Bay, the Passaic will amaze you with its rich history, fascinating geology, breathtaking beauty and power that inspired artists and ignited the country’s industrial revolution.
American River captures a mosaic of stories from people who live and work along the Passaic and from the local heroes working to reclaim it. After sold-out screenings in Montclair, Teaneck, Princeton and Morristown, the award-winning American River comes home for this grand event at NJPAC. Please join us for the screening and a special post-screening Q&amp;A with filmmaker Scott Morris, author Mary Bruno (An American River: From Paradise to Superfund) and river guide Carl Alderson.

A Free Virtual Public Workshop: 
Community Driven Input on Upcoming Combined Sewage Overflow Proposed Projects
Co-hosted by the Sewage-Free Streets and Rivers campaign and the Jersey Water Works (JWW) CSO Committee
January 18, 2023, 7:00–8:30 p.m.
As a community member or community organization you have a chance to provide needed input on the most recent New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) proposed strategies and projects to reduce flooding and sewage overflows.
We want to support you to participate and offer your comments with ease and impact.
NJDEP is giving the public 60 days—until February 13, 2023—to comment – in writing and orally – on the recently released DRAFT North Bergen/Guttenberg, NJ CSO Permit (which allows certain strategies and projects to be implemented).
If you live or work in North Bergen’s Woodcliff Neighborhood or in Guttenberg, we highly encourage your participation. Modifications made to this first CSO permit will inform the process, projects, timelines, and costs finalized in the <a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001RNi6e-3ZXNHpfb_wzTuuJIDRMCr8nEqNiHmCe6bmrwsUsx3aQIsoQmLsG7zQiqNPQa0uPo03a5uUOKUBPZ4TkYijWj9SPemLxFvxcFSPFAsMXyZ9_gWGVGDjR8qW_P91seWRY-ZxpgXk-7RhbFuIualYFrwQpnpAbQpOC7d4h51eHtTFzCa2ZQ==&amp;c=PDg7fuob4XxncSsOC48LTsGRrmtw4ZlNcOOA1U1y7yNv9-dpNZdvHw==&amp;ch=20iqo7jfJZLuRsCRerlqm-Gxq6aFQufAGiorhtr6BPHXj4w75bWaNg==">other regional CSO permits</a> expected to be released in 2023.
As such, community members, officials, and community organizations in the other NJ CSO communities are encouraged to participate in this permit’s public comment process.
During this workshop, we’ll make it simple to understand:
<ul>
<li>What Combined Sewer Systems (CSSs) and Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) are.</li>
<li>Why these NJDEP CSO permits are important for protecting the environment and public health.</li>
<li>What strategies, projects, and public engagement efforts should be included in an effective CSO permit.</li>
<li>Concerns around what may be missing in this first draft permit (for Woodcliff, North Bergen/Guttenberg, New Jersey).</li>
<li>How to provide comments before the permits are finalized (in writing and during oral testimony).</li>
</ul>
<a href="https://forms.gle/KHVuP7Rdkqux3yMN9">Sign up here</a> and invite other organizations!
Use the above sign up even if you can’t join the workshop, so we can email you suggestions, tips, and reminders on joining the public comment period!
