Just because wastewater infrastructure is buried and unseen doesn't mean we should forget about it. Underground infrastructure needs regular maintenance and repair to prevent these environmental incidents. SSOs cost taxpayers more than just the repair of the infrastructure; there are also fines that the taxpayers have to pay for because of these SSO events.

This article in Environment Journal discusses how transforming municipal wastewater facilities into "Ecofactories" can enhance sustainability. Ecofactories focus on generating renewable energy, recovering resources, and promoting water reuse and recycling. They also support industrial symbiosis, turning waste into raw materials for other processes. Transforming wastewater facilities into sustainability hubs has significant implications for our industry. Doing so promotes the shift towards a circular economy by recovering resources, generating renewable energy, and enhancing water reuse. Innovations like these align with my home state, New Jersey's focus on environmental sustainability and resilience. The Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission, for instance, has been exploring similar initiatives in resource recovery and renewable energy generation. Implementing Ecofactory concepts could further these efforts, benefiting local ecosystems and communities. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e7SE6iQJ #wastewater #wastewaternews #sustainability #water

NPDES Stormwater Training Institute _______ T Luke Owen, PG MS4CECI
Low Impact Development (LID) is a sustainable approach to urban design aimed at reducing the environmental impact of built environments, particularly in managing stormwater runoff. Understanding LID techniques empowers stormwater professionals to implement innovative solutions to mitigate stormwater runoff, reduce pollution, and enhance ecosystem health, ultimately contributing to the creation of more resilient and environmentally friendly communities. This article explores various LID practices such as green roofs, permeable pavement, and rain gardens, highlighting their effectiveness in mitigating water pollution and enhancing ecological function. Read on to keep yourself informed about LID, learn how to adapt to evolving industry standards and play a crucial role in promoting sustainable urban development. https://buff.ly/4b5XS1Y #NPDES #NPDESTraining #NPDESTrainingInstitute #TrainingThatMatters #Stormwater #StormwaterManagement #StormwaterProfessionals #StormwaterTraining #MS4Training #MS4sMatter #WaterQuality
