SUMMARY:RCAC - Dealing with Forever Chemicals: PFAS in Drinking Water
DESCRIPTION:Description: The issue of PFAS contamination is being highlighted throughout the country with many experiencing anxieties over possible water contamination.  PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals which include Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA)\, Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acid (PFOS). Known as “forever chemicals” PFAS compounds have been found widely in the environment including thousands of groundwater sources throughout US. \nPFAS compounds are currently the #1 emerging threat to water systems. Continuing studies are identifying potential health risks associated with these chemicals. This session examines the origin\, the concerns\, and provides information for small systems about protecting public health. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nWhy these “forever” chemicals are not going away\nWhere do PFAS come from\nWhat are the health effects of PFAS\nPFAS regulations in drinking water\nPFAS treatment technologies for drinking water systems\n\nThe recommended audience includes board members\, managers and operators.

SUMMARY:EPA Small Drinking Systems Webinar: Manganese
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Research and Development and the Office of Water invites you to attend a free webinar on Manganese. There will be two parts to this webinar. For further information\, view the flyer for the webinar HERE. \nPresentation 1: Manganese Interference with Disinfectant Residual Methods\nThis presentation will provide a summary of manganese occurrence in public water systems and describe its potential interference with commonly used methods to measure disinfectant residual. Case studies will be shared to demonstrate this issue. A flow chart to diagnose manganese interference will be introduced to help identify approaches to minimize manganese interference with commonly used methods\, including sample pre-treatment\, sample filtration\, and alternative methods. \nPresentation 2: Management of Manganese and Small System Considerations\nTreatment of manganese is an ongoing concern for operational\, esthetic and\, more recently\, health reasons. Manganese has been shown to be accumulated and released from the distribution system. These release events can cause discolored water but also release other regulated metals of health concern (e.g. lead\, arsenic) into the distributed water. Research indicates that a finished water concentration of <0.02 mg/L is achievable by most utilities by optimizing existing treatment. At this concentration\, it can also help minimize the accumulation (and subsequent release) of manganese into the distributed water. This presentation will outline management strategies for manganese including small system considerations. \nWho should attend?: State\, and territory\, and tribal personnel responsible for drinking water regulations compliance and treatment technologies permitting\, water system operators\, technical assistance providers\, local government personnel\, and others may benefit from attending.
