NWAEP Portland Meeting
Implementing New Toxics Water Quality Standards in Oregon
February 14th, 11:00AM-12:30PM
Central Library (US Bank Room)
801 SW 10th Avenue, Portland, OR
Did you know that EPA recently approved revised human health toxics criteria for water in Oregon? If you are involved in water quality permitting, this is an NWAEP meeting you won't want to miss.
Andrea Matzke from Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will tell us how the revised criteria are more protective of Oregonians who consume fish and shellfish on a regular basis. Her presentation will cover the changes to the human health criteria, a brief history of the rulemaking and its components, and a discussion of the NPDES permitting tools that were developed as part of this rulemaking to help dischargers comply with revised standards. Andrea works with the DEQ in the Water Quality Standards and Assessment Section and is the project manager for this rulemaking.
Since the meeting will be held on Valentine's Day, you should feel free to bring your sweetie pie because nothing says "I love you" like a discussion on clean water. Consider a long lunch and stop off for some fish or shellfish afterwards.
The meeting is open to all NWAEP members and non-members. It's a great opportunity to build your network, improve your local knowledge, and develop your professional skills and know-how.

Last year we held a photo contest. This year we aren't asking for photos, but we are asking for a bit of creativity... This year it is an Environmental Limerick Contest! The first rule of this contest is that the entering limericks must be all-ages appropriate. At least one limerick (the winner) will be posted on our website. This means nobody from Nantucket is allowed.
The selected winner of the contest will be posted on our website and awarded a special price befitting an annual meeting held at a brew pub. Exemplary runners up may also be posted on the website.
Please submit your limerick via email to Marc Auten at marc.auten@hdrinc.com no later than Monday, March 12, 2012.
Not able to attend the annual meeting? You may still submit a limerick, but be warned… you may win the prize even if you aren’t present.
Last year Josh Jensen from Anchor QEA in Seattle won the photo contest. Jan Aarts (one of our board members) from ICF, hand delivered the prize to Josh.
