Although we're still about a week away from the official start of Fall, it's certainly starting to feel like Summer is coming to an end. As we enter the new season, NEWEA's calendar of events is filling up quickly.
This week, NEWEA's DEI Committee is hosting the DEI 101 Webinar and Innovation Council is hosting a webinar on I/A Septic Systems. Both webinars are available to attend at no cost.
Later this month, we also have our CSO/Wet Weather Issues Conference from September 29-30, followed by the 2021 Northeast Residuals and Biosolids Conference on October 7. Both conferences will be taking place in person with opportunities to attend virtually for those unable to join us in person.
On October 8, we'll be hosting our annual Fall Golf Tournament at the Derryfield Country Club in Manchester, NH. Registration, exhibit, and sponsorship information for the tournament and our fall specialty conferences can all be found below.
As we progress into Fall, we will also be working to plan the details of our 2022 Annual Conference. Our Program Committee is currently working on putting together the technical program, exhibit booth registration will soon be open to all companies, and our 2022 sponsor packet will be released this month.
The NEWEA Office and Meeting Management Council continue to stay up-to-date about local and federal public health and safety guidelines. A Health and Safety page is now available on NEWEA's website, which is regularly being updated with guidelines for attending NEWEA events. We will share more information as we finalize decisions about health and safety protocols for the 2022 Annual Conference.
Check out the rest of the newsletter for more on committee news and details on upcoming events. Until next newsletter, we hope everyone has a great month and stays healthy.
As always, we invite you to contact Jordan Gosselin at jgosselin@newea.org with committee news and updates you would like to share in future editions.

Congratulations to the 2020 Stormy Award Winners |
|
The Stormy Awards are presented annually by the New England Stormwater Collaborative to honor the region's best stormwater work. The top three ideas are selected and recognized in a special awards session at a NEWWA, NEWEA, or NEAPWA conference.
Below are summaries of the 2020 winning projects. Visit the NE Stormwater Collaborative's website to learn more about the Stormy Awards and the winners. |

Narragansett Bay Commission
Macomber Stadium Green Stormwater Infrastructure Project
|
|
Town of Colchester, VT
Financial Rebates for Residential Stormwater Improvements
|
|
Town of Sudbury, MA
Mini Weather Stations Improve Winter Operations, Reduce Chloride Impacts, and Meet Stormwater Permit Requirements
|
|
The Narragansett Bay Commission (NBC) is implementing the final phase in its effort aimed at lowering annual CSO volumes and reducing shellfish bed closures in accordance with a Consent Agreement with the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM). |
|
In Colchester VT, the stormwater utility did not have credits or incentives for residential properties that implemented stormwater management efforts. Recognizing that the sum of small actions makes a difference and that if everyone handled stormwater more effectively on site it would reduce the costs of stormwater management at the community level, staff started a program to address this gap. |
|
Winter road maintenance represents a large portion of budgets for Public Works Departments and demands significant labor resources. In 2019, the Town of Sudbury developed and implemented a Road Weather Information System (RWIS) for local weather and pavement temperature forecasting. RWIS is a management decision support tool that uses weather stations placed at strategic locations to monitor atmospheric conditions and pavement temperatures. |
