SUMMARY:Requirements on the Import & Export of Plastic Scrap
DESCRIPTION:Download Slides \nThe webinar reported on the new international requirements for exports and imports of plastic recyclables or scrap. In May 2019\, 187 countries decided to significantly restrict international trade in plastic scrap and waste to help address the improper disposal of plastic waste and reduce its leakage into the environment. As a result of these changes\, adopted under a treaty called the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal\, international shipments of most plastic scrap and waste will be allowed only with the prior written consent of the importing country and any transit countries\, effective January 1\, 2021. \nThe new Basel provisions significantly limits the market for U.S. plastic recyclables. Because of a provision under the Basel Convention that prohibits trade between countries that have ratified the Convention (i.e.\, Parties) and non-Party countries like the United States\, Basel Parties are not be able to trade most plastic scrap and waste with the U.S. absent a separate agreement between countries that meets certain Basel criteria. The U.S. has one such agreement that addresses trade in non-hazardous plastic scrap with member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the presentation discussed how plastic scrap is covered under that agreement. \nPresenters: \n\nRick Picardi\, Chief of International Branch\, U.S. EPA’s Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery\nLia Yohannes\, International Policy Analyst\, U.S. EPA’s Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery

SUMMARY:Soil Mixing for Environmental Remediation: An Effective Tool for Challenging Sites
DESCRIPTION:The webinar included the following presentations: \nDaniel Ruffing\, Geo-Solutions\, Inc [PDF] \nChris Robb\, Geosyntec Consultants [PDF] \nDarin Payne\, Geo-Solutions\, Inc [PDF] \nEnvironmental remediation of recalcitrant compounds\, such as chlorinated solvents\, can be very challenging\, especially in tight lithologies or other geologic situations. Soil mixing is a method of delivering reagents\, air\, or steam to the subsurface to enhance contact with the contaminated soil/groundwater and can limit contaminant rebound. Soil mixing can be a cost effective method for in-situ remediation via treatment (i.e.\, oxidation\, reduction) or stabilization/solidification of numerous waste types\, including coal tar at former manufactured gas plant (MGP) or wood treating sites\, and also for treating chlorinated solvents\, for stabilizing metals\, and for stripping volatile contaminants. The webinar provided an overview of the soil mixing technique\, design and long-term monitoring considerations\, and case studies to reinforce the applicability of soil mixing for remediation.

SUMMARY:PFAS in Groundwater: Investigation Results in New Hampshire & Considering Soil Leaching
DESCRIPTION:The webinar included the following presentations: \nAmy Doherty & Kate Emma Schlosser\, New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services [PDF] Over the past three years NH DES has collected a significant amount of multimedia PFAS data. With groundwater in particular\, DES is able to begin to analyze occurrence and see trends associated with a particular release type/mechanism. The presentation summarized groundwater quality from over 6\,500 samples across the state with a focus on public water systems and waste site cleanup program sites (AFFF use sites\, industrial/commercial facilities\, landfills\, etc.). \nHarrison Roakes\, Sanborn Head & Associates [PDF] presented “PFAS in Soil: Considering Leaching to Groundwater”. Soil is a key medium regarding the sources\, extent\, transport\, and fate of PFAS from many types of releases (e.g.\, AFFF\, aerial deposition\, application of biosolids). As there is a growing interest in PFAS in soil\, understanding the applicability and potential limitations of typical approaches to site characterization is important. The presentation reviewed the fundamentals of PFAS in soil\, leaching-based screening values\, and data collected as part of the PFAS Background in Vermont Shallow Soils study. Harrison closed by discussing potential screening approaches for understanding risk and areas for future work.

SUMMARY:State Actions to Address Recycling Market Changes
DESCRIPTION:The Association of State & Territorial Solid Waste Management Officials (ASTSWMO) Sustainable Materials Management Task Force conducted a survey in 2019-2020 of State solid waste & recycling programs to better understand how they are responding to the restrictions imposed by China & other countries on the importation of materials for recycling\, particularly paper & plastic. This free webinar shared the results of this survey. It was co-sponsored by ASTSWMO\, NEWMOA\, & the Northeast Recycling Council (NERC). \nPresenters included Task Force Members Janine Bogar\, WA State Department of Ecology; James Jennings\, IL Environmental Protection Agency; Jeremy Hooper\, TN Department of Environment & Conservation; Adam Schlachter\, DE Department of Natural Resources & Environmental Control; & Angela Vincent\, CA Department of Resources Recycling & Recovery (CalRecycle). \nSlides

SUMMARY:PFAS: Field Sampling & Cross-Contamination Issues
DESCRIPTION:The webinar included the following presentations:\n \nAnthony Drouin\, Residuals Management Section\, New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NH DES) [PDF] \n\nThe NH DES Residuals Management Section (RMS) has been investigating PFAS in sludge/biosolids since 2016. Through these investigations\, RMS has implemented annual PFAS screening into their Sludge Quality Certificate program. The presentation focused on sludge/biosolids PFAS sampling SOPs\, issues faced when sampling sludge/biosolids for PFAS\, and the lessons learned from the sludge/biosolids PFAS investigations\n\nJames Occhialini\, Alpha Analytical [PDF] \n\nPresented an overview of analytical methods for PFAS; the current recommendations for PFAS sampling of environmental media which contain stringent provisions for products and materials to avoid potential cross-contamination. Is there a potential for PFAS to be transferred from common products used during sampling?

SUMMARY:EPA's Aerosol Can Universal Waste Rule
DESCRIPTION:In late 2019\, EPA announced the signing of its final Aerosol Can Rule. The final Rule adds hazardous waste aerosol cans to the list of universal wastes regulated under 40 CFR part 273. The universal waste regulations encompass protective requirements for facilities generating\, handling\, and transporting certain categories of hazardous waste that are commonly generated by a wide variety of establishments. It incorporates flexibilities\, such as additional time to accumulate these wastes. By providing a clear\, practical system for handling discarded aerosol cans\, this change will reduce the regulatory costs for a wide variety of establishments generating and managing aerosol cans\, including the retail sector. The streamlined standards are also expected to promote the collection and recycling of aerosol cans. The webinar presentations by EPA Headquarters staff covered the requirements under the Rule and their benefits. \n \nPowerPoint Slides

SUMMARY:RCRA Compliance at Cleanup Sites: Waste Characterization & Listed Hazardous Waste (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Slides \nThe webinar covered what waste site cleanup staff and managers need to know about the definition of solid and hazardous waste and characteristic and listed hazardous wastes. It emphasized how critical waste determination is as the starting point to ensuring that a site cleanup complies with RCRA C requirements. Ross Bunnell\, Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) was the presenter. Mr. Bunnell has many years of experience in the RCRA program in Connecticut\, having worked in RCRA permitting\, enforcement\, and most recently\, policy development\, education\, and outreach. He included case studies and examples to illustrate key points in his presentation. In developing his presentation\, he worked with colleagues from the other states in the Northeast to make sure the information applies to all of the states in the region. \nThis was the first in a four-part series to take place over the fall of 2019 and winter 2020 and cover key RCRA compliance topics that can affect site cleanups.
