Josh's Water Jobs and More! 25 June 2019 (Updated: 26 June 2019)

From Josh:

First, there will be two lists this week as I play catch-up. Another on Thursday. Half now, half then, for 200+ total.
 
Second, the changes don’t refer to the website (well, eventually), but changes I’m making in my career, as this is one of easiest ways to let my network know :) I’ve resigned from the Global Water Partnership and will leave in September. Not sure what is next, but in the interim will work as a consultant and also on (finally) taking the website to the next level, which will include offering some HR services (CV collection, short-listing, aka recruitment process outsourcing (RPO)). Then we’ll see where I end up…
 
On to the jobs…

Elaine J. Hanford's Bulletin Boards: 1) Geoscience; 2) Environmental Science; 3) Coastal Zone Management - 24 June 2019

Had a wonderful time with Elaine when I visited Reno last week. Always enjoy chatting with her - she's one of the 'smartest kids' in the room. 

Here is a picture of my current postdoc and former doctoral student Maria Gibson (aka Groundwater Geek) receiving her diploma at Oregon State University's graduation on 17 June. She is an amazing woman who overcame some obstacles that were placed in her path. I had the privilege of 'hooding' her during the ceremony.  

Congratulations!

And I love those shoes!

Do you know of a colleague and/or student who would be interested in receiving  these Bulletin Board listings? Please forward this to them. A quick email to [email protected] with the word “subscribe” in the subject line and the email address will  be added to the weekly distribution.

CRS In Focus Report: 'Regulating Drinking Water Contaminants - EPA PFAS Actions' (Updated: 18 June 2019)

Mary Tiemann and Elena H. Humphreys penned this updated (18 June 2019) this CRS In Focus report: Regulating Drinking Water Contaminants: EPA PFAS Actions. 

Download CRS_InFocus_Report_EPA_PFAs_18June2019

Summary
Detections of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water supplies and uncertainty about potential health effects associated with exposure to PFAS have increased congressional attention to the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency’s (EPA) efforts to address these substances in public water supplies. Over the past decade, EPA has been evaluating several PFAS under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) to determine whether national drinking water regulations may be warranted. EPA has not issued SDWA regulations for any PFAS but has taken various actions to address PFAS contamination.

In the 116th Congress, bills have been introduced to direct EPA to issue drinking water regulations for PFAS and to take other actions to address these emerging contaminants.

In February 2019, EPA issued a PFAS Action Plan (EPA 823R18004), which identifies EPA’s actions to address PFAS under multiple environmental statutes. This In Focus outlines the agency’s PFAS-related actions using SDWA authorities, with particular focus on the process for evaluating contaminants for regulation under SDWA.

CRS Report: 'Central Valley Project - Issues and Legislation' (Updated: 18 June 2019)

Here is the latest updated (18 June 2019) version of the CRS report: Central Valley Project: Issues and Legislation. The author is Charles V. Stern. 

Always great stuff on the CVP!

Download CRS_Report_CVP_Issues_18June2019

Summary
The Central Valley Project (CVP), a federal water project owned and operated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), is one of the world’s largest water supply projects. The CVP covers approximately 400 miles in California, from Redding to Bakersfield, and draws from two large river basins: the Sacramento and the San Joaquin. It is composed of 20 dams and reservoirs and numerous pieces of water storage and conveyance infrastructure. In an average year, the CVP delivers more than 7 million acre-feet of water to support irrigated agriculture, municipalities, and fish and wildlife needs, among other purposes. About 75% of CVP water is used for agricultural irrigation, including 7 of California’s top 10 agricultural counties. The CVP is operated jointly with the State Water Project (SWP), which provides much of its water to municipal users in Southern California.

CVP water is delivered to users that have contracts with Reclamation. These contractors receive varying levels of priority for water deliveries based on several factors, including hydrology, water rights, prior agreements with Reclamation, and regulatory requirements. The Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers’ confluence with the San Francisco Bay (Bay-Delta or Delta) is a hub for CVP water deliveries; many CVP contractors south of the Delta receive water that is “exported” from north of the Delta.

Development of the CVP resulted in significant changes to the area’s natural hydrology. However, construction of most CVP facilities predated major federal natural resources and environmental protection laws. Much of the current debate related to the CVP revolves around how to deal with changes to the hydrologic system that were not significantly mitigated for when the project was constructed. Thus, multiple ongoing efforts to protect species and restore habitat have been authorized and are incorporated into project operations.

Congress has engaged in CVP issues through oversight and at times legislation, including provisions in the 2016 Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN Act; P.L. 114-322) that, among other things, authorized changes to operations in an attempt to provide for delivery of more water under certain circumstances. Although some stakeholders are interested in further operational changes to enhance CVP water deliveries, others are focused on the environmental impacts of operations.

Various state and federal proposals are currently under consideration and have generated controversy for their potential to affect CVP operations and allocations. In late 2018, the State of California finalized revisions to its Bay-Delta Water Quality Control Plan. These changes would require that more flows from the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers reach the Bay-Delta for water quality and fish and wildlife enhancement (and thus would further restrict water supplies for other users). The changes have generally been opposed by the Trump Administration. At the same time, the Trump Administration is pursuing efforts to increase CVP water supplies for users, including changes to CVP operations under an October 2018 White House memorandum on western water supplies. Efforts to add or supplement CVP storage and conveyance are also being considered: The state is proposing a new water conveyance project (known as the California WaterFix) that would bypass the Bay-Delta and, under certain conditions, increase exports from north to south for some users. Additionally, new storage projects are under study by federal and state entities; these projects would aim to increase CVP and/or SWP water supplies.

In the 116th Congress, legislators may consider bills and conduct oversight on efforts to increase CVP water exports compared to current baselines. Congress is considering whether to approve funding for new water storage projects, and may also consider legislation to extend or amend previously enacted CVP authorities (e.g., WIIN Act authorities that are expiring or have exceeded their appropriations ceiling).

Conclusion
The CVP is one of the largest and most complex water storage and conveyance projects in the world. Congress has regularly expressed interest in CVP operations and allocations, in particular pumping in the Bay-Delta. In addition to ongoing oversight of project operations and previously enacted authorities, a number of developing issues and proposals related to the CVP have been of interest to congressional decisionmakers. These include study and approval of new water storage and conveyance projects, updates to the state’s Bay-Delta Water Quality Plan, and a multipronged effort by the Trump Administration to make available more water for CVP water contractors, in particular those south of the Delta. Future drought or other stressors on California water supplies are likely to further magnify these issues.

TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary 15 - 21 June 2019

Congratulations to Courtney van Stolk, who received her MS in Geography from OSU. See her blog pots here and Gazetter-Times article here. 

Enjoy!

I will miss her.

Yesterday I 'ran across' my all-time favorite road sign: it's on California Highway 89 just north of the Truckee town limits. I am guessing the author has an offbeat (morbid?) sense of humor, a lack of complete knowledge about the Donner Party, or indifference. 

The sign has no doubt brought puzzlement to the faces of many lo these many years.

Enjoy!
