Monitoring Strategies for Constituent of Emerging Concern (CECs)

EOA co-founder Adam Olivieri served on a Science Advisory Panel to address the water quality issues involved in water reclamation and reuse in the State of California. The Policy for Water Quality Control for Recycled Water (Recycled Water Policy) was adopted by the California State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) in 2009. The State Water Board sought to incorporate the most current scientific knowledge on constituents of emerging concern (CECs). The 2018 Science Advisory Panel was charged to update their recommendations from 2010 and expand their recommendations to include surface water augmentation. This report also provides the Panel’s recommendations for improving the State Board’s CEC monitoring program.
