Abstracts are now being accepted for the 22nd National Nonpoint Source (NPS) Monitoring Workshop in Salt Lake City, Utah, August 23-25, 2016.
Sponsored by U.S. EPA Region 8 and the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, the workshop is an important forum for sharing information and improving communication on controlling and tracking NPS pollution at its source and in receiving water bodies. We are seeking enthusiastic presenters interested in sharing their experiences and lessons learned. The focus of the workshop is holistic and includes approaches to assessing and solving problems in watersheds largely impacted by NPS pollution. The emphasis will be on integrating resources and skills from the private and public sectors, with sessions devoted to bringing together individuals from a wide range of backgrounds including science, engineering, business, public policy, education, and community groups.
This event will bring together NPS monitoring and technical personnel from state, federal, tribal, and municipal governments; the private sector; academia; environmental groups; and local watershed organizations to share lessons learned from completed NPS projects, new technologies and monitoring approaches, and examples of successful application of NPS control practices, measures, programs, and policies.Technical workshops and interactive learning sessions will be offered to build knowledge and skills, transfer technology, and promote innovative monitoring and evaluation techniques. Field tours will be offered in both agricultural and urban settings.
