Publications and Resources
As an interstate agency working with many people and partners on a wide range of issues, NEIWPCC places a high priority on communication. Each year, we engage in numerous efforts to keep our member states and others informed on water issues and apprised of our activities. We recently began publishing a new quarterly newsletter, Interstate Water Report, which features in-depth articles and interviews on critically important topics. We have published LUSTLine since 1985, and it has become the publication of record on underground storage tank matters. Our annual reports provide a comprehensive look at all that NEIWPCC is doing to ensure progress continues in the fight for clean water.
NEIWPCC regularly publishes manuals and other important technical reports and guidance.
- In 2006, we published The Cost of Clean and Safe Water, an extensive report on our year-long effort to identify how much households in our region are paying now, and will pay in the future, to maintain and improve our aging drinking water and wastewater infrastructure.
- Our Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Manual, published in January 2003, provides tools to help operators of regulated small municipal separate storm sewer systems comply with new EPA regulations.
- We also offer a long list of informational brochures that simplify and clarify water-related issues and pollution control strategies. Other educational resources include Safeguarding Your School's Drinking Water Supply: Educating, Promoting, and Protecting, a guide for schools written by NEIWPCC staff and published in October 2002.
Each fall and spring, NEIWPCC also publishes training catalogs featuring courses offered by our Environmental Training Center and the Joint Environmental Training Coordinating Committee in Maine.
A complete list of all our materials and an order form can be found in NEIWPCC's Resource Catalog. For more information, contact Stephen Hochbrunn, communications manager.
