2010 Annual Clean Rivers, Clean Lake Conference
Wednesday, September 15
7:30 am - 5 pm
Radisson Hotel West - Wauwatosa
2303 N. Mayfair Rd.
Produced jointly by Sweet Water and our partners in the region, including the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, the 2010 Clean Rivers, Clean Lake Conference will offer a full day of information-packed sessions, including workshops for water quality engineers, local residents working on Watershed Action Teams, and representatives of local government and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). We expect 300 to attend for the 2010 event, based on the success of prior conferences.
The day will include three plenary sessions, nine workshops offered in three tracks, a field trip to the nearby $99 million Underwood Creek storm water retention project, and a variety of exhibits from local and regional engineering firm, academic, and water quality NGO partners.
As a special feature, key representatives of the US Environment Protection Agency Region V office are expected to attend, offering updates on the agency’s work in the areas of watershed-based permitting and water quality trading, as well as to outlining progress on the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI).
