Perspectives on PFAS (Virtual Workshop)
2023-10-05 09:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual
The Clean Water Summit Partners (CWSP) present an informational webinar on what continues to be one of the hottest topics of the day: PFAS. Hear about where things stand in California and nationally, the latest science and research, data trends, and what local water and wastewater agencies are doing to address these forever chemicals. This is also an opportunity for attendees to hear about different approaches to addressing PFAS through regulation, legislation, and communications, including an overview of the “essentiality” approach, local agency messaging, and efforts targeting better source control. This workshop is designed for a wide-ranging audience including those who are not familiar with PFAS.
Registration Requirements: This event is FREE and open to both members and non-members. Anticipated attendees include CWSP agencies and associates as well as regulators, legislative staff, NGOs, and other associations interested in PFAS issues.
