On October 23, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. ET, EPA's Watershed Academy will host a webinar for water-quality managers and others to learn about the new Water-Quality Portal for water-quality data The portal brings together chemical, physical and microbiological data from EPA's Storage and Retrieval Data Warehouse and USGS's National Water Information System for scientists, policy-makers, and the public in a single, user-friendly web interface, while reducing the burden of searching, compiling, and formatting water monitoring data for analysis.

EPA has published the results of an extensive review of the recent literature on wastewater treatment technologies and their ability to remove a number of chemical contaminants of emerging concern (CECs). We have also made available a computer-searchable format of the data from this literature review. The new tools provide an accessible and comprehensive body of historical information about current CEC treatment technologies.
