Speakers

Justin P. Jobin

Wastewater Management Consultant for Nassau County’s Soil and Water Conservation District

Mr. Jobin is an environmental scientist with over two decades of decentralized wastewater experience which started at the New England Onsite Wastewater Training Program at the University of Rhode Island, where he co-authored many publications and assisted in industry training. He also served 15 years as the Wastewater Management Specialist and GIS Coordinator for the Town of Jamestown, RI where he implemented and ran the town’s Wastewater Management District and used GIS analysis to inform science-based regulations to address the cumulative impact of nonpoint source pollution in environmentally sensitive areas. Mr. Jobin recently served over six years as the Environmental Projects Coordinator for the Suffolk County NY, Department of Health Services and currently serves as the Wastewater Management Consultant for Nassau County’s Soil and Water Conservation District where he continues to address the region’s nitrogen pollution crisis by advancing several key elements of the Long Island Nitrogen Action Plan (LINAP), including his work as a lead architect and project manager of the nitrogen-reducing septic system grant programs on Long Island, which have received over $60M in Federal, State, and County Funding to date.
