Description: Green infrastructure (GI) can be a tool to help rural wastewater and stormwater providers go beyond investments in conventional infrastructure approaches. This presentation will address the role that GI can play in supplementing wastewater and stormwater systems by helping reduce inflow and infiltration, mitigating sewer overflows, augmenting wastewater treatment processes, and improving quality. We will also outline the funding and financing pathways to implementing GSI for small, rural systems, and orient participants to the forms of technical assistance which can support small systems in implementing these projects.

Presenters: Emerson O’Donnell, Senior Program Manager, WaterNow Alliance, Robyn De Young, Green Infrastructure and Integrated Planning Lead, Office of Wastewater Management, U.S. EPA, and Travis Ostrom, Environmental Engineer, Water Infrastructure Resiliency and Finance Center, U.S. EPA
