FROM THE CONFERENCE CHAIRS

Welcome!

On behalf of the Virginia Section of the American Water Works Association and the Virginia Water Environment Association, we want to extend a warm invitation to the 2018 Joint Annual Meeting in Virginia Beach, Virginia, this September.

As water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure challenges fill the headlines more than ever before, water professionals continue to rise and meet these challenges head on! Our theme, Waves of Innovation, highlights our industry’s commitment to excellence in protection of the public and the environment, and the continued development of breakthrough processes and technologies that will allow us to tackle tomorrow’s most daunting problems. The networking and technical education opportunities at WaterJAM are designed to concentrate on these focus areas.

In order to build on our history of successful and growing conferences, the WaterJAM 2018 Committee has been working tirelessly to once again host the premier State Conference for water, wastewater, and stormwater professionals.

As always, WaterJAM 2018 will provide numerous technical growth opportunities (including continuing education credits) covering the latest industrial trends as well as a variety of social activities for all attendees. You can expect outstanding presentations and workshops, along with fun social events that will provide many opportunities for networking with friends and colleagues.

We are extremely excited about this year’s conference, which is guaranteed to maintain the standard of excellence you have come to expect from the Virginia WaterJAM!

CONFERENCE LOCATION

Location The Virginia Beach Convention Center

1000 19th Street, Virginia Beach, VA, 23451

All conference technical sessions and exhibits will be held at the Virginia Beach Convention Center (VBCC), the nation’s first convention center to earn LEED® Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

With nearly 29,000 square feet of meeting space, over 150,000 square feet of column-free exhibit space, one of the largest ballrooms on the East Coast, and more than 2,200 free parking spaces, it’s the perfect location for WaterJAM 2018!

Located only minutes from the beach and resort area, the VBCC is convenient to a variety of arts and entertainment venues and family-friendly attractions, so you can enjoy new sights, sounds, and culinary delights within a short ride of the conference center.

Driving Directions

When approaching from the west, routes are I-64, U.S. 460 or U.S. 58. From the north and south, convenient routes include I-85 or I-95, U.S. 17 and U.S. 13 (crossing the world-famous Chesapeake Bay-Bridge Tunnel, a 17-mile span connecting Virginia’s Eastern Shore with Virginia Beach). These routes intersect with I-64, which connects with the Virginia Beach-Norfolk Expressway, I-264, and leads directly to the Virginia Beach oceanfront.

When traveling from routes northwest of the Hampton Roads region, motorists are encouraged to use a faster, alternate route via I-664 Monitor Merrimac Memorial Bridge Tunnel (MMMBT), off of I-64 East. While the mileage to reach the beach is greater, I-664 tends to be less congested, and the time spent idling in traffic is statistically reduced. Simply take I-64 East, to I-664 (Exit 264), to I-264 (Exit 15A), Hilton Garden Inn Hilton Oceanfront which will lead to the oceanfront. When leaving to return home, take I-264 West to I-664 North (Exit Holiday Inn Express Virginia Beach Convention Center 299) to I-64 West (Exit 1A).

She is primarily responsible for coordinating and implementing the Value of Water Campaign, an initiative focused on building the public and political will to realize the many benefits and opportunities of investing in our nation’s infrastructure while mitigating the incredible challenges all of us will face if we fail to act.

Emily became passionate about the role water plays in our lives while working in Ghana for the community development nonprofit, Global Brigades. She was responsible for mobilizing hundreds of students to build rainwater harvesters and deliver hygiene education workshops in rural communities lacking access to piped water and sanitation services. She graduated from the Maxwell School at Syracuse University with masters degrees in public administration and international relations after a brief stint as an intern with the United Nations in Switzerland. Before coming to the US Water Alliance, Emily spent two years at the EPA as an ORISE Fellow with the Urban Waters Program where she took on conference planning, strategic communications, and initiatives to increase government’s ability to provide an integrated approach when working side by side with communities to restore their waterways and promote economic and social prosperity.

Messages that Move the Meter: Communicating the Value of Water to Drive Infrastructure Investment and Innovation

We want our nation to recognize that water is essential and invaluable. As our water infrastructure ages, our communities’ health, economy, and environmental well-being are increasingly at risk. Meanwhile, backlogs of maintenance, replacement, and capital projects prevent utilities from implementing new technologies and innovations. Educating and persuading decision makers and the public to support smart and sustainable water policy in America is critical to making the progress we need for a sustainable water future. Spearheaded by top leaders in the water industry, the Value of Water Campaign builds public and political will for investment in America’s water infrastructure through our strategic communications plan. When we come together as a sector, communicating to reflect our 21st century needs and vision, we can all educate and inspire the nation about how water is essential, invaluable, and in need of investment.

FEATURED SPEAKER

Keynote Session Tuesday, September 11 9 AM - 11:30 AM VBCC Meeting Room 1BCD

Christopher D. Pomeroy, Esq., President, AquaLaw PLC

Christopher D. Pomeroy is president of AquaLaw PLC, which he co-founded in 2002 to provide regulatory consulting and government affairs services in addition to traditional legal services. Serving the Virginia and Maryland Associations of Municipal Wastewater Agencies and the Virginia and Maryland Municipal Stormwater Associations, Mr. Pomeroy has guided localities and authorities for many years in making significant positive contributions to water law and regulation.

Mr. Pomeroy has helped numerous individual clients successfully negotiate environmental permits and agreements. He has successfully argued prominent federal clean water cases, including the leading “permit shield” case, the defeat of EPA’s first “flow” TMDL, and defense of the Chesapeake Bay TMDL from a nonpoint source challenge. He is currently representing localities in nationally-important cases on stormwater permits and utility fees in three other states.

After earning a B.S. in biology from Fairfield University (1992), Mr. Pomeroy earned his J.D. from George Washington University Law School (1996). He lives in Henrico County with his wife and their three school-age children.

Implications for the Water Industry in the Current Environmental Regulatory Climate

AquaLaw President Christopher D. Pomeroy will address the currently tumultuous environmental regulatory climate in the nation and in the Commonwealth of Virginia and explore the implications for water policy and infrastructure in Virginia. At a time when a strong national deregulatory agenda and renewed U.S. EPA commitment to “cooperative federalism” under the federal environmental statutes are restoring regulatory primacy to the States, Virginia is contending with an unprecedented level of citizen activism over water permits for coal ash pond closures and natural gas transmission pipeline construction. Indeed, for issuing permits in accordance with state regulations, the DEQ and the State Water Control Board have been harshly criticized in highly-publicized opposition campaigns marked by protests and civil disobedience. In April, the Northam Administration came to DEQ’s defense expressing confidence in DEQ’s leadership, while also calling for increased funding and ordering the director, in consultation with the secretary of natural resources, to review DEQ’s permitting, monitoring and enforcement activities across the air, water and solid waste programs.

Mr. Pomeroy will share his observations on the current regulatory climate with an emphasis on implications for water infrastructure owners, developers, and consulting engineers. Page 16 WaterJAM 2018 ~ Sept 10-13 ~ Virginia Beach, VA

Virginia Tech. The remainder of the workshop will focus on ongoing monitoring and research that is working to develop a better understanding of loading rates which are integral to the model, as well as computing credits of load reductions.

Attendees will hear from researchers conducting stream bank monitoring to quantify loading rates attributable to stream bank erosion. The Recommendations of the Expert Panel to Define Removal Rates for Individual Stream Restoration Projects currently recommends utilizing BANCS method (Rosgen, 2001) or a similar approach to estimate stream bank erosion rates prior to a restoration project. However, this approach requires application of a regional bank erosion curve. To date there are limited regional bank erosion curves available, and the workshop will provide updates on the status of ongoing research to help fill this gap.

Presenters will also discuss initial results from ongoing stream and outfall monitoring to help quantify watershed loading rates by landuse. Outcomes of this research could help to better understand the applicability of loading rates used to develop models to date, as well as key factors that affect variability of urban runoff loading rates.

HRSD SWIFT Research Center

Thursday, September 13 12:30 PM - 3 PM 6909 Armstead Road, Suffolk, VA

HRSD, the regional wastewater collection and treatment utility, has recently embarked on a transformational program that affects all aspects of the region’s water supply and quality. Currently, HRSD meets all of its permitted effluent discharge parameters for nutrients and sediment to the Chesapeake Bay; however, this still includes discharges of nearly 4 million pounds per year of nutrients and 15 million pounds of sediment. Ground- water use in the region has significantly lowered subsurface aquifer levels and has contributed to ground subsidence across the region. The Hampton Roads area is sinking each year. It has been identified as the second most vulnerable region in the country for sea level rise and higher levels of recurring flooding.

The Sustainable Water Initiative for Tomorrow (SWIFT) Program was conceived as an idea to assist with many of these challenges. Rather than discharging more than 120 MGD into the Chesapeake Bay, HRSD is proposing to implement an advanced water treatment system at on the end of the treatment process at several of its plants. The highly treated water, which meets primary drinking water standards and is compatible with the receiving aquifer, will be used to recharge the Potomac Aquifer. This year, HRSD completed construction of the SWIFT Research Center at its Nansemond Treatment Plant in Suffolk. The SWIFT Research Center contains a 1 MGD demonstration-scale treatment facility, supports the pilot-scale research efforts, and includes areas for public outreach. This tour will provide a complete background on the issues the region is facing and how HRSD is working to help with the SWIFT Program. HRSD staff, operators, and consultants will be on hand to discuss the facilities and answer questions.

The cost is $20 and includes a boxed lunch. Please note on your registration form if you plan to attend.

Please note: Transportation between the VBCC and HRSD’s SWIFT Research Center will not be provided. Page 26 WaterJAM 2018 ~ Sept 10-13 ~ Virginia Beach, VA
