Source Water Protection and State Revolving Funds - Webinar

  • Webinar Recording
  • Slides: Source Water Protection and State Revolving Funds (pdf) (10.18 MB)

Thursday, December 8, 2022, 1:00 – 3:00 pm ET

Protecting source water, such as rivers, streams, lakes, reservoirs, springs, and groundwater, can reduce risks by preventing exposures to contaminated water. While there is no single funding source dedicated to Source Water Protection (SWP), there is considerable overlap with the goals and priorities of other EPA programs such as the State Revolving Funds (SRF). Because of these shared priorities, the Source Water Protection team hosted a Virtual Coordinators’ Corner where state and regional SRF and SWP coordinators met to learn about how the Drinking Water and Clean Water SRFs and SWP programs could work together to prioritize SWP. EPA staff presented on eligibilities of the SRFs related to SWP and an analysis of SWP spending from fiscal years 2014-2020. Speakers from New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services and Washington Department of Health shared examples of SWP projects supported by the SRFs in their respective states to inspire future projects and encourage collaboration.

Presenters:

Kara Goodwin

Kara Goodwin is a Physical Scientist on the Source Water Protection team at EPA Headquarters. Since 2017 she has worked collaboratively with partners within and outside EPA to promote and strengthen source water protection including close coordination with the State Revolving Fund programs. Prior to joining EPA, Kara worked at the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, coordinating the Statewide Groundwater Monitoring Program and other water quality monitoring efforts, and spent seven years working on watershed/water quality research.

Dallas Shattuck

Dallas Shattuck serves as a Physical Scientist in the Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Washington, DC. She is member of the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Team, where she helps with program implementation, technical assistance, training, oversight, and outreach/engagement. Previously, Dallas worked with EPA’s DWSRF Team as an ORISE Research Participant. Dallas has a M.A. in Environmental Resource Policy from the George Washington University in Washington, DC and B.S. degrees in Chemistry and Criminal Justice from Saint Francis University.

Alison Souders

Alison has been with the Clean Water State Revolving Fund at EPA headquarters since 2017. Her work in program marketing and outreach has largely focused on promoting the broadened use of CWSRF assistance across the country and forming the partnerships to support this. These flexible use of CWSRF eligibilities includes source water protection and other nonpoint source activities. Prior to EPA, Alison was a Peace Corps volunteer in Senegal and worked at a social investment firm in Bethesda, MD.

April Byrne

April Byrne joined the Source Water Protection program at EPA HQ this year after a yearlong ORISE Internship on the Source Water Protection team. Her main duties include building collaborative partnerships with other EPA programs and federal agencies, like National Resource Conservation Service, U.S. Forest Service, and more. She also performs data analysis on federally funded source water protection efforts.

Pierce Rigrod

Pierce Rigrod works at New Hampshire’s Department of Environmental Services and supervises source water protection programs in the agency’s Drinking Water and Groundwater Bureau.  The Bureau’s Source Water Protection Program provides financial and technical assistance and has historically worked closely with staff in Clean Water programs. He will touch on past efforts to coordinate Clean Water and Drinking Water program resources and describe several new initiatives that involve both programs in a joint effort to address cyanobacteria and chlorides in source water now underway in part due to expanded SRF funding.

Nikki Guillot

Nikki has been working on water resource protection since 2003. Nikki joined the Washington Dept of Health in June as the Source Water Protection Program Manager from the City of Vancouver where she worked for 7 years on water resource protection and stormwater NPDES programs. Nikki has a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science from Drake University in central Iowa and she recently completed a Masters Certificate in Public Health from Oregon Health & Sciences University.
