SUMMARY:Groundwater and Oil and Gas Development: Improved Management Practices for Groundwater Protection and Water Supply (workshop #5035)
DESCRIPTION:Overview: \nThe boom in unconventional oil and gas development presents many challenges to groundwater resources\, including water availability and groundwater quality. \nTo provide forums to address these issues\, NGWA sponsored workshops in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, in 2014 and in Columbus\, Ohio\, in 2017 to bring together scientists and practitioners from the groundwater and oil and gas industries\, government\, and universities. The goal of these workshops was to identify data gaps and science needs\, and to provide recommendations for reducing uncertainties related to groundwater risk. \nThis third workshop will focus on water availability and improved water management practices for groundwater protection. \nKeynote speaker \n“Wellbore Barriers — More than Just a Good Cement Job” will be presented by keynote speaker Glen Benge\, an independent consultant specializing in wellbore isolation and well cementing. \nRetired from ExxonMobil where he spent more than 24 years working as a technical adviser in drilling\, Benge has 40 years of experience associated with all aspects of well cementing and isolation\, and has authored numerous papers and texts on all aspects of cementing design and application. He served as the testifying expert for the U.S. Department of Justice for evaluation of cementing on the Deepwater Horizon case. He’s past chairman of API Subcommittee 10 on Oil Well Cementing and remains an active member and work group chair. \nBenge has authored technical papers on zonal isolation and wellbore isolation for containment of gas migration\, fluid isolation\, and pressure containment for long-term wellbore integrity. He is a technical editor for SPE Drilling & Completionjournal\, and has served as session chairman for the National AADE Conference and on the steering committee for the SPE Forum on Advanced Drilling Techniques. Benge serves on industry advisory groups for the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Energy Technology Laboratory. He’s past president of the New Orleans Chapter of the American Association of Drilling Engineers and is a senior member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers\, a technical editor since 2003\, and received the SPE recognition for “A Peer Apart” in 2013. \nProgram advisers\n\nBill Alley\, Ph.D.\nGlen Benge\nAnthony Gorody\, Ph.D.\, PG\nRichard Jackson\, Ph.D.\, PE\nKyle Murray\, Ph.D.\nJean-Philippe Nicot\, Ph.D.\nJoe Scott\nDan Soeder

SUMMARY:National Water Policy Fly-In
DESCRIPTION:April 3 – 4\, 2019 \n \nHyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill \nWashington\, DC\n \nThe National Water Policy Fly-In serves as the anchor event for Water Week.  Presented jointly by the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA)\, the Water Environment Federation (WEF)\, the Water Research Foundation (WRF)\, and the WateReuse Association\, it is the most widely attended national policy event for water professionals to advocate on behalf of clean water utilities. \nAs has been made clear by recent comments from President Trump and congressional leaders in the new Congress\, there is strong interest in Washington to advance a bipartisan infrastructure package during 2019.  This would build off the momentum of major advocacy wins in 2018\, such as the bipartisan passage of the America’s Water Infrastructure Act. \nBut in order to ensure that any package includes water as a top priority\, it is critical that policy-makers hear directly from you about the specific challenges facing your utility and community.  Join hundreds of other clean water leaders and stakeholders as they call on the Administration and the new Congress to work in partnership with the clean sector\, invest in the nation’s clean water infrastructure\, and advance policies that benefit clean water utilities and the communities they serve.

SUMMARY:National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Project Meeting
DESCRIPTION:April 5\, 2019\nWashington Court Hotel\nWashington\, DC \nThe United States Geological Survey’s (USGS) National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Project is a leading source of scientific data and knowledge for development of science-based policies and management strategies to improve and protect our water resources. Established by Congress in 1991\, the NAWQA Project addresses where\, when\, why\, and how\, the Nation’s water quality has changed or is likely to change in the future in response to human activities and natural factors. The NAWQA Project has produced scientific data and knowledge that is used by national\, regional\, state\, and local agencies to develop science-based policies and management strategies to improve and protect water resources used for drinking water\, recreation\, irrigation\, energy development and ecosystem needs. A prominent feature of NAWQA is the development of long-term consistent and comparable information on streams\, rivers\, groundwater\, and aquatic systems. \nFeatured Speakers include Gary Rowe\, Chad Wagner\, Mindi Dalton\, and Katie Skalak—all with the USGS.
