PFAS Regulations and Other Organization Activities Webinar

Date: September 21, 2022 | 1:00 PM ET

Speakers: 

Jeff Cornell, Ph.D., PFAS Practice Leader, Black & Veatch

Rosa Gwinn, Ph.D., Global PFAS Technical Leader, AECOM
 

Webinar description:

PFAS impacts from the use of Aqueous Film Forming Foam are widespread and affect many aspects of the function and future of our military bases, but the amount of information about PFAS can be overwhelming. This is the third presentation in a series distilling current PFAS information into digestible packets focusing on key need-to-know information. The webinar will provide attendees with an understanding of the DOD response to PFAS concerns in the context of federal and state regulations. Because the future of PFAS regulations is evolving, the presentation will also share what non-DOD organizations are doing in the United States to influence how PFAS are managed in the future.

Bio-Electro-Chemical Technologies for Sustainable Remediation of Contaminants, and Micron-Scale Carbon Injections Used to Remediate Residual Hydrocarbons Webinar

Date: October 13, 2022 | 12:00 PM ET

Speakers: 
Tracey Tapley, Senior Geologist, USACE Savannah District

Song Jin, Ph.D., Principal Scientist, Advanced Environmental Technologies/Adjunct Professor, University of Wyoming

Webinar description:

This presentation will introduce a novel bio-electro-chemical (BEC) technique that can address the challenge of effective and sustainable cleanup of contaminants in tight geological formations such as clay and silts. BEC leverages the interactions of microbes and electron transfer, and the electrochemical reactions in such processes, to achieve degradation of a variety of contaminants, such as petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, and PFAS. The BEC system produces zero to minimum carbon footprint and eliminates rebound by enhancing mass desorption during the degradation. Discussion will cover the use of micron-scale carbon suspension injections to overcome low-level hydrocarbons at three sites. Located in environmentally sensitive, limited-access areas, the projects focused on reducing concentrations below NCGWQ standards. Lessons learned in three distinct environments used to modify treatment in real time will be covered.

Engineering With Nature and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Webinar

Date: November 17, 2022 | 12:00 PM ET

Speakers: 

Jeffrey King, Ph.D., P.E., Engineering With Nature Deputy National Lead and Program Manager, USACE

Amanda Tritinger, Ph.D., Assistant Program Manager for Engineering With Nature, USACE

Webinar description:

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering With Nature (EWN) initiative enables more sustainable delivery of economic, social, and environmental benefits associated with infrastructure. Triple-win outcomes are achieved throughout EWN by systematically integrating social, environmental, and economic considerations at every phase of a project. The results are innovative and resilient solutions that are more socially acceptable, viable, equitable, and, ultimately, more sustainable. In this webinar, hear from two of the program's leading experts to learn more about the exciting future of EWN.

Registration for the event will open soon.
