The 2011 recipient of the highly prestigious 2011 A.P. Black Research Award, Michael Schock, Research Chemist, US Environmental Protection Agency, takes center stage to open the technical program at the core of the ACE experience.

Schock has demonstrated outstanding research contributions to water supply at a high scientific level. His contributions have found their way into national policy, utility practice and the work of other scientists. As an environmental chemist he has contributed highly significant work to drinking water research, with emphasis on internal corrosion and scaling within distribution systems. His scientific contributions have lent credibility to the rule-making and implementation processes of the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR). He continues to advance knowledge about metals in distribution systems and is presently leading in research and advocacy to eliminate sources of lead from drinking water to include even non-leaded brass.
