SUMMARY:USET OERM Webinar Series | Reducing Lead in Tribal Communities
DESCRIPTION:The USET Office of Environmental Resource Management presents\nthe Reducing Lead in Tribal Communities Webinar Series \nOn October 8th\, the Biden-Harris Administration issued its final rules of the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI). The LCRI has committed federal funding to make sure that all communities have safe\, clean drinking water. USET’s Office of Environmental Resource Management (OERM) Lead Reduction Team has invited subject matter experts (SMEs) to share challenges\, accomplishments\, and the processes they are using to help them address potential lead contamination and reduce any risks by using the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 3Ts for Reducing Lead in Drinking Water in Schools and Child Care Facilities guidance. \nLead is a naturally occurring heavy metal that is globally recognized as a substance that has serious health consequences if consumed\, especially for children. The adverse health effects range from lowered birth weight and slowed physical and mental development in infants\, to lowered IQ levels\, impaired hearing\, reduced attention span\, and poor classroom performance in young children. Clean and safe water is essential and paramount to building a sustainable economy\, successful educational and public health systems\, and most importantly\, a healthy and productive environment for children. Please join us for these informative conversations. \n\nWhen: \n\nJanuary 23 at 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm Central/2:00 pm – 3:00 pm Eastern\nSME: Ginny De La Cruz\, Program Manager\, Arizona Department of Health Services\nTopic: Training – “Applying the 3TS approach in Arizona: A focus on Training”\nFebruary 13 at 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm Central/2:00 pm – 3:00 pm Eastern\nSME: Holly Thompson Duffy\, Environmental Health Science Manager\, Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board\nTopic: Testing – “Utilizing the EPA 3Ts to Test Drinking Water for Lead at Schools and Childcares”\nMarch 19 at 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm Central /2:00 pm – 3:00 pm Eastern\nSME: Rosalind Ground\, Environmental Health Director\, Seneca Nation\nTopic: Taking Action – “Paths to Lead Safety: Community Champions Protecting Our Future”\n\n\nWho should attend: Tribal Leaders\, Health Directors\, clinic staff\, Tribal Utility Staff\, Environmental Directors and staff\, Education Administrators\, and anyone in the Tribal community would like to learn about the EPA’s 3Ts for Reducing Lead in Schools and Child Care Facilities. \n\nWhat: \n\nLearn about each module of the EPA’s 3Ts from subject matter experts from across the country;\nHear about the challenges our SMEs overcame while building out a lead reduction program;\nSee how federal funding can be used to test drinking water for lead in schools and childcare facilities;\nGain valuable knowledge of the EPA’s 3Ts program and how it can provide long term health benefits to Tribal communities.\n\n\nRegistration: \nRegister today. \n\nKey Speakers Information: \nGinny De La Cruz is an experienced public health professional with seven years of service at the Arizona Department of Health Services.
