The 14th Annual State Onsite Regulators Alliance and Captains of Industry (SORA/COi) Conference will be held June 27-30 in San Diego, Calif. The event will run in conjunction with the National Environmental Health Association Annual Conference.
The mission of SORA is to advance the field of knowledge and practice of those who regulate onsite wastewater programs by increasing awareness of the latest technology, research, environmental health issues, and new federal initiatives that affect the decentralized wastewater industry.
The organization managed by the National Environmental Services Center (NESC) at West Virginia University. Its members include regulators of decentralized and onsite wastewater systems in all 50 states, U.S. Territories, Native American Tribes, and Canadian Provinces. Affiliate membership is open to organizations and federal agencies with a vested interest in SORA's mission, including businesses (Captains of Industry) that offer products and services for decentralized and onsite wastewater treatment.
SORA facilitates dialogue between and among regulators and product developers with the goal of converting quality research, existing information, and state-of-the-art technologies into state and local regulatory programs and engineered solutions that protect public health, preserve water quality and promote the decentralized wastewater industry's place as a viable and sustainable option for wastewater infrastructure.
