Title: 2010 Wetland Restoration Institute

Date: September 12-17, 2010

Location: Olympia Springs on the Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky

Brief Description: The 2010 Wetland Restoration Institute will be held at Olympia Springs on the Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky. The training is designed to help engineers, biologists, hydrologists, foresters, and technicians improve their wetland and stream restoration program. Individuals will become involved in the design and construction of wetlands from start to finish, using the latest and most effective techniques available in North America. Participants will investigate stream and wetland restoration projects in forested and open areas with instructors who are leaders in the field.

Title: Treatment in a Manner Similar to a State (TAS) for the Water Quality Standards (WQS) Program

Date: September 17, 2010

Location: On-line

Brief Description: This webcast will discuss EPA’s improved treatment a manner similar to a state (TAS) process for the water quality standards (WQS) program. The webcast will focus on what needs to be included in a TAS application. It will include a discussion of the Montana test, EPA’s internal process for reviewing TAS applications, and tips and suggestions related to the TAS process and the WQS program. The webcast will be presented by Fred Leutner of EPA's WQS Program; Dan Cozza from EPA Region 5; and Gretchen Watkins, Tribal Water Resource Specialist and Hydrologist with the Lac du Flambeau Band of Chippewa. Ms. Watkins will discuss the tribe’s experiences with the TAS process and share lessons learned and advice for other tribes considering TAS for the WQS Program.

Title: 3^rd International Symposium on Ecology & Biodiversity in Large Rivers of Northeast Asia & North America

Date: September 20-24, 2010

Location: Memphis, Tennessee

Brief Description: The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Lower Mississippi River Conservation Committee (LMRCC), and Mississippi Interstate Cooperative Resource Association (MICRA) announce the Third International Symposium on Ecology and Biodiversity in Large Rivers of Northeast Asia and North America, to be held in Memphis, Tennessee, USA, 20 - 24 September, 2010. Building on two prior symposia in Khabarovsk, Russia (2002) and Harbin, People’s Republic of China (2006), the third symposium will bring together Chinese, Russian, and North American researchers, river engineers, wetland managers, and conservation biologists to discuss local and landscape-scale management of large rivers and associated natural resources. This symposium will focus on the countries' mutual objectives of managing riverine ecosystems to ensure optimal levels of water quality and quantity, restore and manage riverine and riparian wetlands, increase sustainable fishery stocks, and conserve their internationally significant natural resources. In addition to plenary and breakout sessions, symposium participants will participate in a one day trip on the Lower Mississippi River to discuss the role of river engineering in the restoration and management of large riverine ecosystems and view native fish species and habitats.

Title: EPA Region 8 Wetland Program Capacity Building Workshop

Date: September 21-24, 2010

Location: Bozeman, Montana

Brief Description: The goal of the workshop is to build wetland program capacity to protect and restore wetlands and riparian areas and help meet the national goal of no net loss and net gain in function and acreage (NNL/NG) in EPA Region 8 States and Tribes (ND, SD, MT, WY, CO, UT).

Title: Introduction to Water Quality Standards (WQS)

Date: September 24, 2010

Location: On-line

Brief Description: This webcast will provide an introduction to Water Quality Standards (WQS). The webcast will highlight the three major components of tribal and state WQS (designated uses, water quality criteria, and the antidegradation policy). It will also include a discussion of water quality certifications under the Clean Water Act (CWA). The webcast will be presented by Tom Gardner of EPA's WQS Program; George Parrish from EPA Region 8; and Ken Norton, Director of the Hoopa Valley Tribe's Environmental Protection Agency. Mr. Norton will describe how CWA-EPA approved WQS help protect the tribe's water resources.
