Addressing Contamination Incidents in RRAs and ERPs (Room 125 A&B)

USEPA Office of Water Emergency Response and Cybersecurity provides free resources for water and wastewater utilities to prepare for, respond to, and recover from water-related emergencies. Drinking water contamination can occur from natural, accidental, and intentional causes. It can result from other emergencies (e.g., wildfires), from specific contamination scenarios, or from an intentional malevolent act. Utilities may want to address contamination from malevolent acts or natural hazards in their RRA and ERP. In this session, EPA will discuss SDWA Section 1433 requirements and deadlines, and then provide examples of how utilities can address contamination incidents their RRA and ERP.
