Introduction to the Clean Water Act Section 303(d) Program and Vision - Traci Iott, Connecticut, and Rosaura Conde, EPA HQ
This training workshop empowered State, Tribal, and Territorial water quality program staff to succeed through building core skills and capacity and communicating effectively. The event was made possible through a cooperative agreement between the Environmental Law Institute and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and was held virtually from June 2 to 5, 2025.
This training workshop equipped state, territorial, and tribal staff—along with their EPA counterparts—with the knowledge, contacts, and tools necessary to collect, manage, and analyze data more efficiently and effectively; improved the reporting process and the impact of other communications with partners and the public; and ultimately will aid water quality restoration and protection. The event was made possible through a cooperative agreement between the Environmental Law Institute and the U.S.

Emerging Contaminants and Toxics: Using Narrative Criteria in Assessments and Restoration Plans
This training workshop provided State, Tribal, and Territorial water quality program staff with an opportunity to continue to learn about and further develop effective approaches to identifying impaired waters and restoring and protecting water quality, with a particular emphasis on collaboration with other CWA programs. The event was made possible through a cooperative agreement between the Environmental Law Institute and the U.S.
One tradition in the evening hours for this workshop has been for participants from around the country to get together and play live music. This year, in lieu of live music, musicians from several states, EPA Regions, EPA HQ and ACWA collaborated in the evenings over the week to record a video of a song written for the occasion by state and EPA participants, “Shepherdstown to Cybertown.”
