Featured Session 02 Exhibit Hall Meeting Room CMonday, Oct. 1 | 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm

Commercializing Campus TechnologyModerator: Tyler Algeo, BlueTech ResearchUniversities and research institutes across the world have produced innovative technologies with straightforward “lab to market” journeys culminating in the development of a commercial enterprise (e.g., Ostara, NanoH2O, Oasys). Many technologies have not made this journey and sit on a shelf just waiting to be discovered.

What does it take for successful commercialization? This dynamic session will answer that question. Speakers and panelists will present best practices in commercialization and provide insights on: 1. Why new technologies must address industry issues Success starts with understanding the issues facing the water

market and creating technologies that address problems faced by the industry. How do universities and research institutes ensure that: a) their research is commercially relevant, b) are developing “a better mouse-trap,” c) that another organization is not creating a similar or even better mouse-trap, d) working on a technology that gets rid of mice entirely (a disruptive solution), and e) ensuring that that the product will be practical and cost effective?

2. Protecting the idea While there is a strong push for universities to publish research,

patenting is a critical part of the commercialization process. How do research institutes strike the right balance between publishing and patenting? What makes for a robust and licensable patent?

3. Test the idea in real-world conditions There is a big difference between piloting technologies under

simulated conditions and testing under real-life conditions. How important is it to pilot off-campus in real-world conditions? Does co-development with an industry partner affect the success of commercializing campus technologies?

4. Licensing the idea How does an inventor find, and then evaluate a licensing partner?

How do you establish royalty rate agreement structures that are fair, transparent and simple?

5. Life after licensing Technologies cannot be stationary. They must evolve. Can the

university or research institute continue to contribute to the tech-nology development? How does one deal with IP, patents and royalties when new innovations and new generations of technolo-gies emerge?

Join academics, research institutes, water technology startups and corporations that license technologies out of universities and research institutes discuss what it takes to successfully commercial-ize a campus technology.

US EPA’s Stormwater Effluent Limitation Guidelines: A Moving and Disappearing TargetThis session is a discussion of the EPA’s Effluent Limitation Guidelines for construction sites. Three speakers from the International Erosion Control Association membership will make presentations, then question each other, then take questions from the audience. The topics to be covered are:

■■ Brief history of the ELGs, from the year 2000 to present. Court cases and consent decrees required the EPA to promulgate these regulations. The complied with the court deadlines and the regula-tions were issued on Dec 1, 2009. Then another lawsuit resulted in the regulations being put on hold for further evaluation. We are now in that period.■■ How the various proposed ELGs were determined? Initial word from the EPA was that an NTU of 13.0 would be the limit, though most people in the industry expected it to be around 50 NTU. It wound up at 280 NTU, and the lawsuit said that was too stringent. How did EPA come up with those numbers?■■ What treatment system is needed to comply with different ELGs? This will be a discussion of active vs. passive treatment systems, and in what circumstances you would use one over the other. The discussion will also mention how this would affect a compact site and a linear site.■■ What the current thoughts and actions of the EPA are relative to this (as of the time right before WEFTEC 2012). Based on discus-sions with the EPA, and any notices, request for comments, draft rules or final rules (should those happen before the conference), the panel will discuss the actions of the EPA: what they are thinking, the research they are doing, and what kind of timetable they expect to follow.■■ What the panelists believe is going to happen. Each of the panel-ists will be experienced practitioners in the erosion and sediment control industry. Based on their knowledge of the rules promul-gated and interrupted thus far, and on any EPA actions up to right before the conference, they will take a chance at predicting what might happen. Or, if EPA has moved into the draft or final rule-making stage by that time, this segment will discuss the regula-tion itself and how its implementation will affect the construction industry.■■ How to prepare for a range of final outcomes. What if the 280 NTU is final? What if it’s lower, such as 100 NTU? Or higher, such as 400 NTU?

NOWRA: Incorporating Large Onsite Systems into Managed Wastewater InfrastructureWhile sometimes viewed as temporary solutions until the sewer arrives, onsite wastewater systems have been a part of the nation’s wastewater infrastructure for over 100 years. When properly devel-oped and managed, the service life of an onsite wastewater system tracks the useful life of the property served, whether at the residential level, as cluster systems for housing developments or as stand-alone decentralized systems or as part of distributed infrastructure within utilities. This NOWRA-sponsored session will acquaint professionals throughout the wastewater industry with the opportunities to expand service and revenue through incorporation of properly designed and managed large onsite wastewater systems options in urban, sub-urban and rural areas. Dick Otis will discuss system planning and coordination needed to incorporate onsite wastewater systems into existing infrastructure models to improve local sustainability. Bob Rubin will describe how Building local support for managerial and financial issues improves sustainable onsite infrastructure manage-ment: Kevin White will present case studies of model systems includ-ing Loudoun Water and MAWS.

Innovation: Work for WaterInnovation is not just new products from start-up companies. It is a way of thinking and doing that can help you to do more with less, with more efficiency. Looking for new employees in the new circum-stances and current economic conditions requires new and different ways of looking for employees.

A career in water is nearly recession proof. Readers Digest recently listed water/wastewater treatment plant and system operators as one of the top ten jobs Americans can’t live without. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, environmental engineer’s employ-ment is expected to increase 31% nationally (between 2008 and 2018) while water/wastewater operator jobs are expected to increase by 20%. With new and innovative practices such as energy neutrality and stormwater management, new skills and expertise are needed in the water sector. The jobs are out there; however, not many people know about them. This featured session will discuss ways WEF and EPA are working with non-traditional government agencies such as the Department of Labor and the Department of Veteran Affairs as a means to increase the awareness of jobs in water and demonstrate how skills from typical apprentice jobs and military experiences can be transferable to working in the water sector. Panelists include representatives from WEF, EPA, and the Department of Veteran Affairs. Workforwater.org, a joint AWWA and WEF project, will also be showcased.
