	I agree the 2-hour WEF broadcast is expensive, but we've been
able to find some alternatives here in Colorado. Through a collaborative
organization (Consortium for Research and Education on Emerging
Contaminants (CREEC)) that we're building here in Colorado we've been
able to establish a relationship with some of our wastewater districts
that are WEF members. Denver Metro Wastewater Reclamation District has
been very generous in opening up their WEF broadcasts on emerging
contaminants to members of our Consortium. Perhaps similar arrangements
could be made in your area with a WEF member?

	kinda tough (impossible) for us gummint types to justify $189
for a 2 hr
	phone call.  wish the wef would back off some of their proud
fees.  i'd
	attend their conferences and listen in to these teleconferences
if so.
	
	anyone have any clout with 'em?  there's a huge crowd of us out
there
	they're eliminating from their knowledge pool by charging so
much for
	their "services".

	Emerging Contaminants (ECs) are receiving increased regulatory
attention
	due to environmentally significant concentrations of many
contaminants
	being detected in treated effluents. These issues are quickly
becoming
	more prevalent in the water and wastewater industry.
Participants of
	this webcast will learn the present state of knowledge on ECs to
include
	what is known, what knowledge gaps exist, and what lies ahead.
	
	Specific Topics Include:
	
	*                 Impact of Emerging Contaminants on the water
cycle 
	*                 Fate of Emerging Contaminants in wastewater
treatment 
	*                 Removal mechanisms and potential engineered
solutions 
	*                 Impact on biosolids processing and disposal 
	*                 Technical and institutional challenges 
	
	Moderator:
	
	Dr. Sam Jeyanayagam, Malcolm Pirnie, Inc.

Authority 
	*                 Dr. Rula Deeb, Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. 
	
	The webcast will provide participants increased knowledge of
Emerging
	Contaminants for informed decision making.
