Save the Date for the upcoming 2027 CWA Cross-Program Workshop on January 20 & 21, 2027 at EPA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. The 2027 Workshop is the fourth annual Cross-Program Workshop held in cooperation with EPA.
Registration: Registration will be available soon.
Agenda: Check back here for a draft agenda.
Objective: CWA Cross-Program Workshops are intended to bring together state, territorial, and federal CWA program administrators to discuss and share ways in which cross-program coordination and collaboration can be strengthened to more effectively and efficiently protect and restore our waters. The 2025 Workshop will focus on opportunities and challenges for administrators of CWA Sections 303(c), 303(d), and 402 in coordinating nutrient management and responses to nutrient pollution.
State, territorial, and federal clean water leaders will identify cross-program challenges and barriers to CWA implementation in the nutrients space; work toward solutions to cross cutting water quality topics; identify ways to improve technical capabilities; highlight opportunities for cross-program planning, implementation, and co-operation; and clarify linkages, roles, and responsibilities among CWA programs.
Participants: The Workshop target audience will be state/territorial clean water regulators with practical experience and responsibilities in supporting and managing CWA Section 303(c), 303(d), and/or 402 programs, particularly in the nutrients space, as well as EPA representatives for each of the programs. Attendees should come prepared to discuss ways in which cross-program coordination has been an important aspect of successful program and/or restoration plan implementation, as well as cross-program challenges and needs.
Travel Support: ACWA plans to provide limited state/territorial travel support in the form of a post-Workshop reimbursement. Please contact Ward Scott if you know you will require travel support to attend the Workshop.
Hotel: Lodging is available at the local per diem rate at the Washington Hilton (1919 Connecticut Avenue NW, Washington, DC, 20009) Check back here for the reservation link.
