SUMMARY:The Long Road from Pollution to Protection: 50 Years of the Clean Water Act
DESCRIPTION:We all live in a watershed\, and our human footprints impact them all. Join us for a living history of the state of water quality in Maine by aquatic biologist Matt Scott. Matt will focus on the history of Maine’s polluted waterways based on past records and deep personal and work history. The beginning of this living history perhaps dates back to the industrial revolution with Maine’s recovery from the great depression and World War II. Water quality degradation of our aquatic environment continued and it took decades for this problem to become evident and influence public policy. During this time\, Maine’s major rivers (St John\, Penobscot\, Kennebec\, Androscoggin\, Presumpscot\, Saco and their major tributaries) were heavily impacted by pollution. However\, with the passage of the Clean Water Act (CWA) in 1972\, led by Maine Senator Ed Muskie\, things were set to change for the better. We made progress in lake protection and river and stream water quality improvement\, beginning with treatment of major municipal and industrial waste We also saw the adoption of biological with narrative and numerical standards developed by the Maine Dept. of Environmental Protection’s Biological Division led by David Courtemanch and his staff. From 2005-2015\, Maine was able to demonstrate how far it had come with a new classification system and mapping of those waters that have been protected by revised and new water quality standards.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Keeping Your Assets Above Water
DESCRIPTION:Climate change and its impact on water supplies is obviously a hot topic in today’s news\, especially as agencies look again towards mandatory water conservation measures and cutbacks in water deliveries for a broad range of uses. One of the most hotly debated topics is the subject of water storage. We hear a lot about the potential for new dams\, and that is certainly worth discussing\, but we are only recently looking at opportunities to manage our existing dams and reservoirs differently in order to maximize their water storage capabilities.  \nWe are looking at a paradigm shift in the way things have been done over the last hundred years or more\, and now water managers are looking at applying technology (such as the newly coined “Forecast Informed Reservoir Operations” or “FIRO” programs)\, or through changes in operations\, such as the restoration of the water storage capacity of the existing dams that has been lost through sedimentation.  Fortunately\, there are now examples throughout the state of initial efforts to address this challenge. \nThis presentation provides several examples of how communities are preparing (or not) for the anticipated effects climate change and the “new normal” of expected water supplies and storage. We will consider the environmental and social impacts\, as well as potential impacts to flood protection and hydropower energy production that might result from a paradigm shift in future reservoir and water storage operations.
