Sweet Water will be hosting the Annual Clean Rivers, Clean Lake Conference on Wednesday, September 15th from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm at the Radisson Hotel West, 2303 N. Mayfair Road in Wauwatosa.
As a special feature, Cameron Davis, Senior Advisor for the Great Lakes US EPA, will address the group. Mr. Davis is the coordinator of the EPA's Great Lakes policies, including the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) . In addition to providing insights into Great Lakes efforts, he will offer updates on the agency's work as well as outlining progress on the GLRI.
Produced jointly by Sweet Water and its regional partners, including the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, the 2010 Clean Rivers, Clean Lake Conference will offer a full day of information, including workshops for engineering professionals, residents and businesses concerned about water quality in their water-sheds, and elected officials and representatives of local government and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). More than 300 are expected to attend the 2010 event.
The day will include three plenary sessions and nine workshops offered in three tracks. New this year – a field trip to the nearby $99 million Underwood Creek storm water retention project and exhibit opportunities for service and equipment vendors, academia, and NGOs!
