Creating the Water Workforce of the Future: Webinar Series

Developing the Digital Water Workforce of the Future

March 8, 2022

2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time

Register Here

The water system operating environment is evolving to incorporate various technological advancements. There is a growing need to attract, train, and retain water protection specialists with a high degree of technological competence – and the ability to make data driven decisions based on up-to-date and accurate information using technology. Meeting this need will require creative and inclusive workforce approaches to ensure the utility’s workforce is an integral part of the utility’s technology development and deployment strategy. This will help staff be comfortable and fully able to understand and implement new technologies– i.e., “bought in”.

Catherine Curtis from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission will discuss how BAYWORK’s helps utilities navigate the technology journey. Shane Zondor from Ft. Worth Water will explain their utility’s technology strategy and how they found ways to ensure their workforce is engaged and supported throughout the process.

Attendance is free! Please register here:

Beltway Buzz – Ogletree & Deakins

Breyer to Retire. This week, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer notified President Joe Biden of his intention to retire at the end of the Court’s current term. (Here is what Justice Breyer’s colleagues had to say about him.) Interestingly, Justice Breyer indicated that his retirement would perhaps be conditioned on the confirmation of his successor. President Biden stated that he expected to announce a nominee by the end of February 2022, and he also stated the following:

The person I will nominate will be someone with extraordinary qualifications, character, experience, and integrity, and that person will be the first Black woman ever nominated to the United States Supreme Court.

While the nomination process will likely be the usual political spectacle that we have come to expect, the president’s nominee should be able to secure the 51 votes needed for confirmation. Appointing a justice to the Supreme Court of the United States will undoubtedly provide President Biden with a political boost, but it also could divert time and energy from his legislative agenda. The Buzz will be monitoring the impact that the nomination process has, if any, on current efforts on Capitol Hill. (For more on Justice Breyer and his role in shaping labor and employment law, please see “Justice Breyer on Labor and Employment Law” below.)

OSHA Withdraws Vax-or-Test ETS. Seeing the writing on the wall after the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) vaccinate-or-test emergency temporary standard (ETS), the workplace safety agency formally withdrew its ETS this week. But as Michael Oliver Eckard has noted, OSHA’s withdrawal of the ETS, effective January 26, 2022, does not necessarily mean that the agency won’t move forward with rulemaking on a more targeted permanent standard. As for the state of play surrounding other federal COVID-19–related orders, Leigh M. Nason has you covered.

DOL Pushes for “Good Jobs.” Late last week, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) launched its “Good Jobs” initiative that is intended to help stakeholders “as they seek to improve job quality, and create access to good union jobs—free from discrimination and harassment—for all workers and job seekers.” In a speech announcing the initiative, Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh stated:

We are going to work across federal agencies to build job quality standards into government contracting and grant making. That means not just minimum wages but prevailing wages, paid leave, registered apprenticeships, and pre-apprenticeships that open up opportunities for women, people of color, and underserved communities.

At the moment, it is hard to know exactly what this means, but reading between the lines, the initiative could forecast more requirements for federal contractors. For example, when Secretary Walsh talks about building “job quality standards into government contracting,” that sounds a lot like former president Barack Obama’s Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces executive order, or a “high road” contracting policy that would favor employers that offer certain levels of pay and benefits. The Buzz will be monitoring this effort as it unfolds.

New Federal Contractor Minimum Wage. Speaking of federal contractors, pursuant to President Biden’s Executive Order 14026, “ Increasing the Minimum Wage for Federal Contractors,” and its implementing regulations, beginning on January 30, 2022, the minimum wage for non-tipped workers performing work on or in connection with covered federal contracts will increase to $15 per hour. Beginning January 1, 2023, and each year thereafter, the minimum wage will increase by an amount determined by the secretary of labor.

OT Reg Battle Coming. This week, a group of 110 business organizations led by the Partnership to Protect Workplace Opportunity sent a letter to Secretary Walsh asking for stakeholder meetings in advance of any proposal to amend regulations implementing the Fair Labor Standards Act’s overtime provisions. As the Buzz previously discussed, the Fall 2021 Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions indicates that the DOL’s Wage and Hour Division will issue such a proposal this April. As we have seen over the last two administrations, amending the overtime regulations is never an easy lift. Current economic conditions—inflation, hiring and retention issues, increased remote work—lead the Buzz to believe that the process this time around might be even more contentious. Stay tuned.

Justice Breyer on Labor and Employment Law. Nominated by President Bill Clinton, Stephen Breyer was sworn in as an associate justice of the Supreme Court on August 3, 1994, replacing the retired justice Harry Blackmun. Over the decades, Justice Breyer participated in dozens of labor and employment–related cases (both in the majority and in dissent). He authored majority opinions clarifying the scope of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964’s anti-retaliation provision and holding that paid union organizers are “employees” under the National Labor Relations Act. Justice Breyer also penned a 5–4 decision in 2002, holding that a requested accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act that conflicted with a seniority system was not “reasonable.” The case was one of several that paved the way for passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008. Last but not least, in 2014 Justice Breyer dug deep into the history books to write the opinion of the Court holding that the U.S. Constitution’s Recess Appointments Clause did not permit presidential appointments (in this case, to the National Labor Relations Board) to be made during brief recesses of the U.S. Senate. Justice Breyer’s thoughtful judicial opinions have helped shape our national jurisprudence in these significant employment policy areas.


EPA Finalizes the 2022 Construction General Permit (CGP)

On January 18, 2022, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the 2022 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Construction General Permit (2022 CGP) for stormwater discharges from construction activity. The 2022 CGP will become effective on February 17, 2022, replacing the 2017 CGP, which expires on February 16, 2022. This permit covers stormwater discharges from construction activities in areas where EPA is the NPDES permitting authority. New construction projects in these areas may submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) for coverage under the permit once it is effective.

Key changes in the permit include new or clarified provisions related to erosion and pollution prevention controls, dewatering discharges, turbidity benchmark monitoring for dewatering discharges to sensitive waters, and inspection training.

For more information, visit EPA’s Construction Stormwater website:

https://www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater-discharges-construction-activities.

EPA will also host a webinar on February 24, 2022, at 1:00 PM (EST) to provide an overview of the 2022 CGP and an opportunity for participants to ask questions. You can register at https://www.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_DsNwf8dQTzC1pCk0HCyVnQ.

EPA Seeks Public Input on  Industrial Stormwater Fact Sheet Series

On January 25, 2022, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a Federal Register Notice to seek public input for 60 days on the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Industrial Stormwater Fact Sheet Series. EPA’s industrial stormwater program has 29 fact sheets currently posted online for each sector covered under the 2021 Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for stormwater discharges from industrial activity. Each fact sheet describes the types of facilities included in the sector, typical stormwater pollutants associated with the sector, and types of stormwater control measures (SCMs) that may be used to minimize the discharge of the pollutants.

EPA is particularly focused on updating: common activities, pollutant sources, and associated pollutants at facilities in each sector; and SCMs or best management practices (BMPs), including source control and good housekeeping/pollution prevention measures for potential pollutant sources at facilities in each sector. In updating the fact sheets, EPA will consider input received in response to this notice as well as any relevant comments related to the content of the fact sheets that the Agency received during the public comment period for the proposed 2021 MSGP. The fact sheets can be found in the docket (Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-2022-0097) and at https://www.epa.gov/​npdes/​stormwater-discharges-industrial-activities-fact-sheets-and-guidance.

The comment period closes on March 28, 2022. The Federal Register Notice can be found here: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/01/25/2022-01382/national-pollutant-discharge-elimination-system-npdes-industrial-stormwater-fact-sheet-series.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SOCIETY

IHMM and HMS

The graphic to the left illustrates the relationship between IHMM and HMS. IHMM formed HMS to serve IHMM’s certificants. IHMM offers a variety of professional credentials and HMS creates education and training programs to serve the applicants and certificants of those credentials.

HMS Education and Training to Launch New Training Initiative

Diane Lundelius, Chair of the HMS Education and Training Committee [https://hazmatsociety.org/education-training-committee/] is pleased to announce the committee’s intention to organize Annual Training Agendas for each IHMM Blueprint.

Every IHMM certificate has to recertify their credential every 5 years. Recertification is done by following the Recertification Claims found here > https://ihmm.org/recertification-claims/. The activities involved in recertification are tied to the credential’s blueprint. Each blueprint is made up of domains and subdomains that outline the core competencies and tasks of the credential.

In creating an Annual Training Agenda for each blueprint, the HMS Education and Training Committee will ask training vendors to propose training programs that directly relate to each domain in each blueprint – creating a roadmap of essential, recommended training programs pre-approved with Certification Maintenance Point [CMP] credits for each course of training. This will vastly strengthen each credential and make it easier for each credential holder to find programs specifically related to their credential for recertification.

Hazardous Materials Society now has 6,347 education and training programs on its website, with more coming every week. Certificants will note that most of these programs carry a CMP value, making it easier to know in advance what to expect. The HMS Education and Training platform also provides a wide variety of courses for professional development across all of IHMM’s credentials – and more are being developed by the HMS Education and Training Committee.

IHMM applicants and certificants are free to search the landscape for training. IHMM wanted to make that task easier by aggregating training in one place if you choose to use it. Among these more than 11.000 programs are webinars delivered online and virtually all carry IHMM CMPs values with them for your annual / 5-year CMP planning.

Learn more here.


NASP Becomes 2nd HMS Annual Training Agenda Vendor

HMS is pleased to announce that NASP [https://naspweb.com/] has become the second education and training vendor to become a part of the development of the HMS Annual Training Agendas.

NASP will provide programs to assist with the education and training of IHMM credential holders and leads the vendor community by becoming a part of the development of these new HMS Annual Training Agendas for IHMM credential holders.

IHMM and HMS thank NASP for their outstanding programs and for their support of our communities of practice.
