Since November 2012, the Environment team has been making strides in protecting our harbour by implementing Passive Water Quality Monitoring—an exciting, forward-thinking alternative to traditional stormwater monitoring. Initially, samples were collected every two months, but starting in March 2023, they kicked it up a notch, moving to monthly sampling to keep an even closer eye on the health of our harbour. The goal? To determine if metal contaminants—whether from stormwater runoff, sediments, or groundwater linked to land reclamation—are soluble and bioavailable to the marine environment. This advanced method offers a clearer picture of how these metals mix, dilute, and potentially impact marine life within the harbour. This initiative is a critical part of Mid West Ports’ commitment to safeguarding marine water quality. By monitoring our environment closely, we're ensuring our controls and systems effectively reduce long-term impacts, keeping our harbour vibrant and thriving for years to come!

After the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) meeting at the State Capital last week, Liz Carner, PWS summarized the following key takeaways from the Water Quality Commission (WQC) in case you couldn’t be there: 1. WQC is asking for stakeholders to contact them in order to create an “interested parties list,” which they will use to gather information and opinions prior to beginning their rulemaking process. 2. Full assumption of the Clean Water Act’s Section 404 permitting process is unlikely; the final statutory/regulatory framework will fall between the Gap Waters Program and Colorado Program (both are technically gap programs - see link for reference). 3. There is no current information they can share regarding what the statutory vs regulatory/rulemaking will look like yet. 4. The meeting was intended to create a conversation between interested parties and WQC; however the limits on time prohibited much discussion. WQC mentioned a possible full day session in the future to allow everyone to speak (approximately 50-60 people in the room plus many online). 5. Several questions came up regarding significant nexus and the protection of isolated/high watershed waters (ephemeral streams, swales, etc.). Significant nexus is being considered a starting point for WQC to determine protections and enforcement. WQC’s intent is to provide as much clarity as possible. 6. Natural resource groups such as the National Audubon Society spoke up to voice approval for the upcoming state protections of waters with regards to ecological sustainability. 7. The regulation of stormwater facilities such as roadside ditches is a concern for stormwater management. 8. The attendees all provided contact information and we will be informed of updates and future meetings. Hope this is helpful for everyone; please use the linked document to review the currently proposed programs and connect with WQC to give them your perspective! https://lnkd.in/gEcbiwQ5 #wetlands #coloradowetlands #wotus #wetlandregulations #gapwaters

There’s no question that effective sediment management is essential for construction and land development projects. The real question is, WHAT sustainable solution would be best to tackle sediment runoff? Our EnviroBlanket range offers a variety of leading sustainable and eco-friendly solutions for sediment control. In this particular application, Coir Mesh was used to effectively manage runoff while supporting environmental protection. Read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/g4NAgp8n

Water is abundant and droughts are rare in the Northeast United States, so what are the region’s drivers for water recycling? Coastal flooding, sewer overflow, and outdated infrastructure just to name a few. Register for the Webcast: https://lnkd.in/epf-Ezh4 In this webcast, you will hear from our co-host, New England Water Environment Association (NEWEA) about the history, practices, and challenges of water reuse in the Northeast. We will then dive into two case studies of successful water recycling projects in the area, including the origins of the project, the partnerships, public outreach, funding, and permit considerations. The webcast will conclude with a presentation from Seatuck Environmental Association and IMEG – two organizations that were instrumental in crafting & advocating for the Long Island Water Reuse Roadmap & Action Plan. This roadmap is one of the first strategic water reuse plans passed in New England. Photo courtesy of New York City Department of Environmental Protection

Are you looking for more ways to improve your facility’s environmental impact? Consider resource conservation planning! On March 20, 21, and 28, TURI is offering the trainings required for certified TUR Planners to become Resource Conservation Planners. Massachusetts companies who have been actively planning to reduce their use of toxic chemicals as part of their obligations under the Toxics Use Reduction (TUR) Act can periodically apply their TUR planning skills to resource conservation opportunities. The resource conservation (RC) plans generated must be certified by TUR Planners who have obtained additional RC Planner credentials. The first two half-day online workshops (March 20 and 21, 1:00 to 4:00 PM) form the initial training required to obtain RC Planner certification from MassDEP. The water conservation workshop (March 28, 3:00 to 5:00 PM) is the first of three required "asset-specific" trainings for certification, and may also be used for two RC continuing education credits for currently certified RC Planners.

Clean CFAC Superfund Site in Montana Ask your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, everyone you know to sign the petition! (Attached below) We need as many signatures as possible by the end of March. Flathead County, Montana residents are asking the EPA to pause decision-making for the Columbia Falls Aluminum Company (CFAC) Superfund Site Plan. There are serious concerns that the plans provides no long term solutions and endangers our environment and health of residents. Montana DOJ, Natural Resource Damage Program wrote in a recent report: “EPA has issued a proposed plan for a final cleanup in 2023; the preferred alternative, however, will not return the Site to baseline. Rehabilitation, restoration, or replacement of natural resources is required to reduce future injuries and compensate the public for interim losses of natural resources and the services they provide.” Residents don’t want “waste-in-place”, they want waste safely removed and kept away from groundwater sources, such as the Flathead River. Please, take a moment to learn more about this issue and consider how it may be affecting your community too. The healthy scrutiny placed on environmental regulators helps to ensure that they are doing the right thing for all of us.

What is the environmental aspects and impacts register? The Environmental Aspects and Impacts Register is a record that identifies and evaluates the environmental effects of an organization's activities. ~Example~ 1. Activity Excavation and earthmoving: - Aspect: Soil erosion - Impact: Increased sediment runoff, habitat destruction 2. Activity Construction of access roads and infrastructure: - Aspect: Deforestation - Impact: Loss of forest cover, ecosystem fragmentation 3. Activity Blasting and rock extraction: - Aspect: Noise and air pollution - Impact: Disturbance to communities, release of harmful pollutants 4. Activity Construction waste management and disposal: - Aspect: Waste generation and disposal - Impact: Increased landfill usage, potential pollution 5. Activety Erosion control and slope stabilization: Leave your thoughts here...
