Opportunity for Education and Networking
The American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists (AAEES) in collaboration with the LMU College of Science and Engineering is holding a one-day conference on October 22 featuring key leaders of southern California water agencies; many of whom are CASA members. They will discuss and present their action and vision to attain a sustainable water infrastructure. This gathering of elite experts in the field of water management offers a unique opportunity for interaction with these leaders, students and faculty, and other industry professionals.
Communication Tool Available
A Guide for Developing and Updating of Sewer System Management Plans (SSMPs), developed by the State Water Board, was created to assist enrollees of the Statewide SSO Reduction Program in developing and revising an SSMP. This guide also provides suggested information that enrollees could consider including in their SSMP.
Kudos for CASA
“Great work on the CalRecycle regs!!!! Your efforts are responsible for POTWs accepting trucked-in organics for digestion avoiding being considered LEA-regulated solid waste facilities. Thanks also for your help with the compost-related language in the regulations.
Worth every cent of CASA membership.”
Thanks Layne! We appreciate the feedback!
