Water Shorts EPA moves to limit financial pressure on 'forever chemical' manufacturers under cleanup law By The Hill, 2/21/2020 A proposal from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would absolve the nation’s manufacturers of cancer-linked “forever chemicals” from broad financial responsibility for cleaning up their product as it leaches into the water supply across the country. The class of chemicals known as PFAS, which are noted for their persistence in both the environment and the human body, are used in a variety of nonstick products.

Rising temperatures are taking a worsening toll on the Colorado River, study finds By AZCentral, 2/22/2020 Scientists have documented how climate change is sapping the Colorado River, and new research shows the river is so sensitive to warming that it could lose about one-fourth of its flow by 2050 as temperatures continue to climb. Scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey found that the loss of snowpack due to higher temperatures plays a major role in driving the trend of the river’s dwindling flow. They estimated that warmer temperatures were behind about half of the 16% decline in the river’s flow during the stretch of drought years from 2000-2017, a drop that has forced Western states to adopt plans to boost the Colorado’s water-starved reservoirs.

Regulators Loosen California’s Rule Requiring Solar Panels on New Homes By Times of San Diego, 2/23/2020 In a closely-watched vote on the future of California’s groundbreaking rooftop solar program, state regulators last week approved a proposal to power some new Sacramento housing developments using offsite solar panels instead. The California Energy Commission’s decision ended a months-long standoff between rooftop solar advocates and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, commonly called SMUD. SMUD had asked regulators to allow developers to use its offsite solar installations rather than the rooftop solar panels required in California starting Jan. 1.

Most California cities refuse to retreat from rising seas. One town wants to show how it’s done By Los Angeles Times, 2/24/2020 Ten miles north of Monterey and a world away from Santa Cruz, Bruce Delgado gazed up a towering sand dune. Careful not to step on the beach buckwheat that protects rare butterflies or the sea lettuce that survives only in stable habitats, he wound his way toward the ocean. At the top, slightly out of breath, he marveled at the sandy beach that stretched for miles along the bay. Big surf broke into rhythmic cusps by the shore. A red-tailed hawk soared over his town of Marina, where despite its name, no dock or pier exists to interrupt this view.

Mine waste dams threaten the environment, even when they don’t fail Christopher Sergeant, The University of Montana; Julian D. Olden, University of Washington Dams built to hold enormous quantities of toxic mining waste have a long history of spills. Decisions in the Pacific Northwest threaten three free-flowing rivers there.

Shrinking Colorado River “Increasing risk of severe water shortages is expected.” -- Abstract of a U.S. Geological Survey paper that describes how global warming is shrinking the Colorado River.

U.S. Geological Survey researchers estimate that every 1 degree Celsius of warming has decreased the flow of the Colorado River by nearly 10 percent.

They found that reductions in snowpack are creating a downward spiral for river runoff. That is because snowpack declines also result in a loss of albedo, or reflectivity. Darker surfaces absorb more energy, which leads to warmer temperatures and more evaporation.

Any increase in precipitation will not be enough to offset the evaporation losses, they found. The study was published in the journal Science.

Water Hearings in Congress

• As it prepares to work on new water resources legislation, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee is inviting members of the House to share their views on Army Corps projects in their districts. The hearing will be held on February 27. The committee is the starting point in the House for the Water Resources Development Act, a piece of legislation that authorizes dams, levees, ports, and ecosystem restoration projects, and is typically renewed every two years. • Also on February 27, the House Science Committee will discuss federal ﬂood maps in an era of climate change. Representatives from FEMA and NOAA will testify, as will the executive director of the Association of State Floodplain managers. Search terms are as endearing and complicated as us little ol ladies.

The National Archives' dangerous corruption of history by David Perry While the National Archives issued an apology and vowed to undergo "a thorough review" of its policies after the Washington Post first reported on the alteration, having discovered it by chance, as a historian I worry about how many other altered documents the Trump administration has buried in our records. Will we ever know? The National Archives' dangerous corruption of history by Daniel Genkins Paper archives are vulnerable to flooding, humidity, insects, and rodents, among other threats

The Way We Write History Has Changed by Alexis C. Madrigal A deep dive into an archive will never be the same.

Universities must open their archives and share their oppressive pasts by Evadne Kelly and Carla Rice The archives of academic institutions can tell previously untold stories of eugenics. Universities can begin to undo oppressive legacies by opening them to artists and communities. Champion for environmental and social equity, Vien Truong, announced as keynote speaker for annual green building conference DENVER – (Jan. 23, 2020) – The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), creators of the LEED green building rating system, announced that registration is now open for Rocky Mountain Green 2020. The annual conference will be held April 30-May 1, 2020 at the Hyatt Regency Denver in Denver, Colo. In addition to the launch of the educational programming for the conference, environmental and social equity expert Vien Truong, has been announced as the keynote speaker for the conference.

One of the nationʼs most prominent experts on the development of an equitable green economy, Truong has crafted numerous environmental, energy, economic and transportation policies at all levels of government. She has developed strong workforce standards for clean technology sectors, generated direct investments to ethnic and minority cleantech businesses, and created sustainable communities throughout California. Truong is currently serving as the senior advisor on climate justice for Tom Steyer for President. Prior to joining the Steyer campaign, she was the CEO of Dream Corps, which passed historic policies in criminal and climate justice, and created nationally recognized programs to increase tech diversity.

“It is exciting to join the U.S. Green Building Council in a discussion on how we can work together to build an equitable future for all,” said Truong. “We are at a time when we can no longer wait for action. Pollution, poisoned waters, wildﬁres, ﬂoods and natural disasters affect communities across the country. This discussion will look at how we can build a future that is ecologically and socially resilient, sustainable, inclusive and regenerative.”

Rocky Mountain Green is the largest green building conference in the region, and brings together hundreds of building professionals, sustainability leaders and change-makers for discussions about todayʼs most pressing environmental and green building issues. The conference offers engaging educational sessions that inspire attendees into action while focusing on USGBCʼs mission to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built and operated. This year's program offers sessions around four tracks: All Things Considered - From Housing to Whole Cities, Building for Resiliency and Equality, Nuts & Bolts of Green Building, and Innovative Building Strategies.

“The Rocky Mountain region faces its own unique socioeconomic and climate makeup, and communities across the region are grappling with the best way to develop responsibly,” said Charlie Woodruff, regional director at USGBC. “Rocky Mountain Green is our chance to provide the regionʼs architects, builders, contractors and sustainability professionals a chance to develop the skills needed to become dedicated green building advocates and improve daily lives for all Americans.”

The Rocky Mountain region is one of the fastest growing areas in the country for green building, and Colorado has consistently been a pioneering leader in the green building movement. The state has made USGBCʼs Top 10 States for LEED list since the listʼs inception in 2010, and in 2019 ranked number one for LEED-certiﬁed space per capita in the U.S. The state certiﬁed 4.76 square feet per person as a result of 102 projects totaling more than 23.96 million square feet of space.Continuing education hours will be offered for attendees to help maintain their LEED professional credential. The conference full program is now available online.
