SUMMARY:QA/QC Basics & Understanding Your Lab Report (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Liz Denly\, Quality Assurance & Chemistry Director at TRC Companies [PDF]\nAnalytical data are used to make important and sometimes costly project decisions. It is imperative that the quality\, accuracy\, and sensitivity of these data are properly evaluated to ensure success during both project planning and project execution. This training provided guidelines on collecting adequate quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) samples during a site investigation and how to evaluate analytical laboratory data and what to look for in a typical laboratory data package. A look at some interpretation issues associated with specific parameters like PFAS\, PCBs\, and metals was also provided. \nNote: This webinar is presented for informational purposes. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of each of the NEWMOA-member states\, and the strategies and technologies discussed should not be considered an endorsement by NEWMOA or its members. \nFor more information\, contact Jennifer Griffith at jgriffith@newmoa.org.

SUMMARY:PFAS Destruction: Two More Technologies (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:1:30 to 3:00 PM (eastern) \nBoth presenters focused on their experience at real-world client facilities and presented analytical treatment results. They also shared information about situations their technology is particularly suited for and also the limitations. \nNote: This webinar was presented for informational purposes. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of each of the NEWMOA-member states\, and the strategies and technologies discussed should not be considered an endorsement by NEWMOA or its members. \nPhil Farina\, Clear Creek Systems presented on the commercially available AMEOX® technology that uses advanced oxidation fluid to destroy PFAS adsorbed within “exhausted” granular activated carbon (GAC) systems. The AMEOX® system is on a mobile platform that can be brought to a treatment facility to facilitate on-site revitalization of spent GAC in a closed-loop batch process. The AMEOX® system can be used on GAC at drinking water treatment facilities. \nJulie Bliss Mullen\, Aclarity Water presented about their commercially available on-site system which utilizes patented electrochemical destruction. Aclarity’s solution can destroy PFAS in liquid media and can treat landfill leachate without pretreatment. The system can also be used for industrial process water\, municipal wastewater\, and potable water. \n  \nFor more information\, contact Jennifer Griffith at jgriffith@newmoa.org.

SUMMARY:PFAS Destruction: Updates on Two Technologies (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Note: This webinar is presented for informational purposes. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of each of the NEWMOA-member states\, and the strategies and technologies discussed should not be considered an endorsement by NEWMOA or its members. \nMichael Crisenbery\, Clean Harbors [PDF] presented PFAS Incineration: Performance Test Results. Michael discussed the full-scale testing of PFAS destruction at its hazardous waste incinerator in Utah in 2021 and the measured results. The testing included sampling and analysis for 49 target PFAS analytes in incinerator process waste feed streams\, treatment chemical feed streams\, solid and liquid process residue streams\, and incinerator stack gases. Michael also discussed Clean Harbor’s subsequent work with EPA\, DoD and other regulatory agencies. \nDavid Trueba and Trevor Whitson\, Revive [PDF] presented about Revive’s PFAS Annihilator™\, a technology deployed at commercial scale in Michigan. It uses supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) and is destroying PFAS in landfill leachate by treating the hyper-concentrate resulting from foam fractionation treatment of the raw leachate. Preparation is also underway for treatment of AFFF concentrate and AFFF-contaminated rinse waters from state AFFF take back programs and other AFFF cleanout projects. David and Trevor shared lessons learned in working with commercial and regulatory partners and in optimizing operation for different PFAS-contaminated aqueous matrices. \n  \nFor more information\, contact Jennifer Griffith at jgriffith@newmoa.org.

SUMMARY:Understanding the Changes to the ASTM Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) Standard - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:ASTM International’s environmental assessment\, risk management and corrective action committee (E50) recently revised its standard practice E1527-21 for Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs). The E1527 standard was originally published in 1993 to define “good commercial and customary practice” for conducting Phase I ESAs\, as well as meeting the USEPA’s All Appropriate Inquires Rule. The latest revision\, published on November 15\, 2021\, represents over three years of work and consensus-building by a team of over 250 experienced industry professionals\, including a balance of Users and Producers. This presentation highlighted key updates to the most current version of the standard. \nPresenter: Elizabeth Krol\, Principal at Ramboll [PDF]\nElizabeth led the historical research focus group of the E1527 Task Group\, which proposed revisions to reflect the current standard of care for the property due diligence industry.

SUMMARY:Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging: Policy Options that Integrate Climate Mitigation
DESCRIPTION:Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for packaging is increasingly being considered in various parts of the United States. But the focus is often limited to recycling systems\, and recycling has limited potential to address the threats of climate changes and plastic pollution. Policy could do more to engage producers in more meaningful and impactful solutions. This webinar introduced four emerging concepts that all aim to improve and expand upon existing policy proposals: funding prevention and reuse\, prevention and reuse targets\, impact evaluation and disclosure\, and optimizing (as opposed to maximizing) recycling. \nPresenters:\n– David Allaway\, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality\n– Janine Bogar\, Washington State Department of Ecology\n– Terri Goldberg\, NEWMOA\n– Justin Lehrer\, Stop Waste\, Alameda County\, CA
