Water Quality Standards Academy Sessions

The "Water Quality Standards Academy" is a basic, introductory course designed for those with fewer than six months of experience with water quality standards. This is a comprehensive and highly structured course that introduces participants to all aspects of the water quality standards program, including the interpretation and application of the water quality standards regulation: water body designated uses, water quality criteria antidegradation policies, State/Tribal standards adoption and EPA review. A description of the training modules to be presented during this shortened version of the regular course appears on page 2 of this application packet.

Please note that this session is targeted for EPA region 5 and region 7 participants
