EPA Virtual Water Quality Standards Academy, June 3-7 and 10, 2024
The EPA is pleased to announce that registration for the June 2024 Virtual Water Quality Standards Academy is now OPEN. Registration is free and open to the public. Registration will close on May 22nd, or when capacity is reached.

Water quality standards (WQS) are provisions of state, territorial, authorized Tribal or federal law approved by the EPA that describe the desired condition of a water body and the means by which that condition will be protected or achieved. The WQS Academy provides WQS development and implementation information to WQS professionals associated with the federal, state, Tribal and local agencies as well as the private sector. This highly structured and interactive training course ensures that attendees have a fundamental knowledge of WQS requirements and how they interact with other CWA implementing programs.

The 6-day virtual WQS Academy session will be held this upcoming Monday June 3rd to Friday June 7th, and Monday June 10th. The session will run approximately 11:30am to 4:30pm (Eastern Standard Time). To register, please visit: June 2024 Virtual Water Quality Standards (WQS) Academy
