Green Infrastructure for Small Water Systems: Approaches and Technical Assistance

More Details

Overview & Objectives:

Green infrastructure (GI) can be a tool to help rural wastewater and stormwater providers go beyond investments in conventional infrastructure approaches. This presentation will address the role that GI can play in supplementing wastewater and stormwater systems by helping reduce inflow and infiltration, mitigating sewer overflows, augmenting wastewater treatment processes, and improving quality. We will also outline the funding and financing pathways to implementing GSI for small, rural systems, and orient participants to the forms of technical assistance which can support small systems in implementing these projects. 

Panelists will include:

• Robyn De Young, Green Infrastructure Program Manager, EPA 
• Travis Ostrom, Green Infrastructure Program Manager, EPA  
• Moderator: Emerson O’Donnell, Senior Program Manager, WaterNow
