Clean Water Summit Partners SSS WDR Webinar
On January 11, 2023, the Clean Water Summit Partners will host a free Zoom webinar on the reissued statewide Sanitary Sewer System Waste Discharge Requirements Order that the State Water Resources Control Board adopted on December 6, 2022. The webinar will start at 9 AM and last for 3.5 hours. The new and modified requirements in the new Order become effective in June 2023. This event is designed specifically for collection system LROs, data submitters, managers, and operators to understand the streamlined process for existing enrollees to transfer current Order enrollment to the new Order, from April 4 through June 3, 2023, prior to the new Order becoming effective. The webinar will also cover priority actions to comply with modified spill reporting and updated Spill Emergency Response Plan requirements by June 2023, and clarifications for updating Sewer System Management Plans in 2025 and 2026, based on the current Plan update schedules in the existing Order.

For those interested in wastewater-based surveillance for SARS-CoV-2, its variants, MPox and other pathogens, the California Department of Public Health holds monthly office hours to provide updates and answer questions. Interested persons from the public health sector and the wastewater sector are encouraged to attend. CASA’s Greg Kester joined them for their December session (slides available here).
