SUMMARY:The Case for a Statewide Septic Code: Michigan Must Inspect Septic Systems to Protect Fresh Water
DESCRIPTION:The online session will offer legal\, scientific\, economic\, and political perspectives on the urgent need and critical opportunity for Michigan to finally join the rest of the nation in adopting a law to protect public health and fresh water from septic pollution. \nBillions of gallons of poorly or untreated sewage flow each year into an estimated 330\,000 failed septic systems. An unknown amount of that raw sewage ends up in lakes\, streams\, and groundwater\, the source of drinking water for 45% of Michigan’s population. \nFLOW Executive Director Liz Kirkwood will host the webinar\, and Legal Advisor Skip Pruss will moderate the panel discussion with: \n\nState Rep. Phil Skaggs\nDr. Joan Rose of Michigan State University\nBrad Ward\, Legal and Policy Director of the Michigan Realtors\n\nThe online event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Freshwater Science: Understanding and (Potentially) Mitigating the Impacts of Tile Drainage
DESCRIPTION:Recent research from across the Midwest shows that with drainage water management\, which uses tile drainage to control and adjust water flow from fields\, annual nitrogen loads in field runoff can be reduced by as much as 50% while increasing crop yields. A similar result might be possible for phosphorus\, with can fuel harmful algal blooms in Lake Erie. \nDr Steve Lyon at The Ohio State University is examining how this tile drainage impacts other water flow in agricultural fields\, to better understand overall runoff and nutrient flows. \nThe webinar is free\, but registration is required to receive log-in information. \nEvent website: https://ohioseagrant.osu.edu/news/calendar/2023/03/22/4nocf/freshwater-science\nContact: Jill Jentes\, jentes.1@osu.eud

SUMMARY:Freshwater Science: Lake Erie Charter Captains Business Survey
DESCRIPTION:Ohio’s Lake Erie coast offers great access for recreational anglers\, including a robust and economically important charter fishing industry. However\, environmental conditions\, economic climate and individual angler behaviors may all change over time. These changes could also impact the charter fishing industry. \nIn early 2021\, Ohio Sea Grant Extension Program Manager Tory Gabriel led a survey of licensed fishing guides gauge the attitudes\, characteristics and economic impacts of the industry for the 2020 season and document any changes from previous surveys. This information can be useful to captains\, resource managers\, local communities and decision makers assessing the health and needs of the industry. \nThe webinar is free\, but registration is required to receive log-in information. \nEvent website: https://ohioseagrant.osu.edu/news/calendar/2023/04/26/v1lgy/freshwater-science\nContact: Jill Jentes Banicki\, jentes.1@osu.edu

SUMMARY:Funding and Financing Coastal Resilience: Revolving Loan Funds
DESCRIPTION:Revolving Loan Funds (RLF)\, often administered through state revolving funds (SRFs)\, have been a hallmark mechanism for providing low-interest loans to local communities and other entities for infrastructure projects. Such funds are commonly associated with drinking water infrastructure\, but as the climate change impacts become more pronounced\, SRFs have emerged as a valuable tool in funding projects that enhance coastal resilience through habitat restoration and other nature-based solutions. \nIn this webinar\, experts with SRF experience\, including EPA’s long-standing Clean Water Revolving Fund (Alison Souders)\, FEMA’s new Safeguarding Tomorrow program (Rhiannon Kincaid)\, and on-the-ground project applications (Michael Roberts)\, will provide an overview of the process and give examples of how they have been used. \nEvent website: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScLSRQ3Vj0TL1s7vPAJ3VQqlOVk8M6oPunbLgGyJoUXij1MJw/viewform\nContact: Rachael Franks Taylor\, NOAA Office for Coastal Management\nEmail: rachael.f.taylor@noaa.gov
