SUMMARY:C & D Materials Management & Markets in the Northeast
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by: The Northeast Recycling Council (NERC) and NEWMOA \nA recording of this webinar is available online. \nC&D materials are generated in new construction\, remodeling\, deconstruction and demolition. Common components of new construction in the U.S. include: wood; concrete/masonry; wallboard; metal; corrugated cardboard; bottles and cans; and trash. Demolition debris includes: concrete; wood; trash; scrap iron; asphalt; brick; and roofing. There is an increased emphasis on the processing and reuse of C&D materials. Many of these materials can be recycled and made into new products — clean\, untreated wood can be made into new wood products (i.e.\, furniture\, and wood chips and mulch for landscaping purposes); gypsum wallboard can be ground into a gypsum powder that is then manufactured into new plasterboard or applied as a soil amendment; and asphalt shingles can be recycled into cold patch\, new shingles\, or hot mix asphalt. \nThis joint NEWMOA and NERC webinar included presentations on: \n\nThe results of NEWMOA’s analysis of data collected by the environmental agencies in Connecticut\, Maine\, Massachusetts\, New Hampshire\, New Jersey\, New York\, Rhode Island\, and Vermont on architectural C & D materials generation and processing. (download slides)\nThe results of a Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) funded study that evaluated the current and future status of construction and demolition (C&D) debris management in Massachusetts\, and identified and recommend potential opportunities for the diversion of a greater proportion of recyclable materials to recycling markets. NERC administered and contracted with DSM Environmental Services (DSM) to conduct the project. MassDEP has established a goal of diverting 50 percent of C&D materials from disposal\, but in recent years the actual diversion rate has plateaued at around 30 percent. The primary objective of the analysis undertaken by DSM was to first assess incoming and outgoing materials at Massachusetts C&D processors and handling facilities\, and to determine what the opportunities and constraints are to increase materials diversion beyond 30 percent.

SUMMARY:Innovative Compliance Assistance & Assurance Strategies that Work
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of the webinar with EPA Headquarters OECA was to help inform them about various programs that have been underway in the northeast states in the region and elsewhere to advance and measure compliance at facilities for more than a decade. For some states\, these programs are called Environmental Results Programs (ERP) and for others they have other names and approaches. The webinar will focus on the experience in these programs. NEWMOA hopes that this will help inform EPA’s efforts to advance compliance through assistance and assurance efforts. \nPresentations: \nCompliance Assistance: Evidence-Based Approach by Ron Gagnon\, RI DEM \nPromoting an Integrated\, Balanced Approach to Compliance Assurance\, Nicole Lugli\, CT DEEP \nMassDEP Alternative Compliance Strategies\, by Suzi Peck\, MassDEP \nAdditional Resources\, by Terri Goldberg

SUMMARY:PFAS Treatment & Remediation Options
DESCRIPTION:This webinar included the following presentations: \nDr. Michelle Crimi\, Clarkson University\nTreatment Options for Soil and Groundwater [PDF] \nDr. Eric Dickenson\, Southern Nevada Water Authority\nTreatment Mitigation Strategies for Poly- and Perfluoroalkyl Chemicals [PDF] \nRichard Spiese\, Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation\nLessons Learned on Vermont POET Installations and Operations for Residences Impacted by PFASs [PDF] \nThe webinar covered: \n\nRemediation & treatment options for environmental media\, including soil & groundwater\nTreatment options for drinking water\, including municipal & homeowner systems\nLessons learned\n\nPoly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large class of chemicals that have been used in numerous consumer and industrial processes due to their oil and water resistant properties and their exceptional stability. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) are two of the most common PFAS found in the environment and in the human body. PFAS have been widely used in many applications\, including for carpet and fabric protection\, in food packaging\, and in aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) used for firefighting. \nThe same properties that make PFAS so useful make them challenging to remove from soil and water\, including drinking water supplies. Remediation and treatment to meet EPA’s 70 ppt drinking water guideline is difficult.

PFAS have been widely used in many applications\, including for carpet and fabric protection\, in food packaging\, and in aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) used for firefighting. \nPFAS are a diverse compound class\, so they possess a range of fate and transport properties that depend heavily on the individual compound(s) in question. Understanding fate and transport at a particular site is also dependent on the source(s) of their release to the environment and the specific hydrogeologic and other physical and chemical conditions present.

SUMMARY:PFAS Toxicology: Understanding The 70 ppt EPA Health Advisory
DESCRIPTION:The webinar included the following presentations: \nDr. David Klein\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine\, Brown University\nEPA Health Advisory for PFOA and PFOS Drinking Water [PDF]\nDr. Klein discussed the in vivo studies that validate PFAS as toxicants\, with an emphasis on reproductive effects. \nDr. Joseph Braun\, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology\, Brown University School of Public Health\nDeterminants and Health Impacts of PFAS Exposures in Humans [PDF]\nDr. Braun presented findings from epidemiological studies examining the toxicity of PFAS exposure. He also discussed sources of PFAS and how PFAS levels from environmental monitoring studies relate to human exposure.  \nPFOA and PFOS are perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid\, respectively and belong to the broader class of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that have been widely used for carpet and fabric protection\, in food packaging \,and in metal plating\, and have been included in products with familiar trade names Teflon\, Gore-Tex\, Stainmaster\, and Scotchguard. In addition\, PFAS were key components of aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) widely used for firefighting. \nThis webinar provided attendees with an understanding of the health effects related to exposure to PFAS and why the May 2016 70 parts per trillion EPA Health Advisory Level for PFOA and PFOS (individually or combined) in drinking water is so low.
