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

SUMMARY:Avoiding Contamination in Food Waste Feedstock for Composting
DESCRIPTION:The usefulness and value of finished compost depends on a feedstock that is free of contaminants\, such as plastic and non-degradable service ware and bags. Unfortunately\, it is all too common to find these materials in food waste destined for composting. This webinar\, jointly hosted by NERC and NEWMOA\, addressed successful educational strategies and programs to avoid these contaminants. \nPresenters included: \n\nErin Skelly\, Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community Organics Recycling Facility\, Minnesota [PDF]: “Strategies to Reduce Contamination at a Large Scale Composting Facility”\nKate Kurtz and Becca Fong\, Seattle Public Utilities [PDF]: “Addressing Compost Contamination in Seattle: a combination of policy and outreach”\nNatasha Duarte\, Composting Association of Vermont [PDF]: “Navigating Compost Contamination Concerns in Vermont”\n\nView the recorded webinar.

DESCRIPTION:The webinar was presented for informational purposes. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of each of the NEWMOA-member states and and the strategies and technologies discussed should not be considered an endorsement by NEWMOA or its members. \nThe webinar included the following presentations: \nJustin Pimpare\, EPA Region 1 [PDF] presented Using the Pretreatment Program to Identify Sources of PFAS in Wastewater. The presentation provided an overview of potential PFAS industrial user sources identified via annual pretreatment reports. An overview of PFAS monitoring requirements in Massachusetts NPDES permits was also discussed\, as well as other PFAS-related pretreatment initiatives in New England. \nFarshad Ebrahimi\, Temple University [PDF] presented Linking PFAS Partitioning Behavior in Sewage Solids to Solid Characteristics\, Solution Chemistry\, and Treatment Processes. The presentation discussed the impacts of parameters such as protein\, lipid\, organic matter\, ionic strength\, and pH on the PFAS leaching potential from secondary sludge and biosolids. It also examined the relationship to the treatment method\, including activated sludge\, sludge stabilization\, and anaerobic digestion.

SUMMARY:Leveraging Your CSM to Develop Successful Bedrock Remediation Approaches: Concepts & Case Studies
DESCRIPTION:The 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. \nThe webinar included a presentation from Chapman Ross\, FRx & Leah MacKinnon & Julie Konzuk\, Geosyntec Consultants [PDF] \nThe webinar focused on overcoming characterization and remediation challenges specific to bedrock sites. Developing an accurate conceptual site model (CSM) is a critical first step in the remediation process. Some of the key aspects of CSM development at bedrock sites include identifying the rock type\, delineating the source mass\, characterizing the fracture network\, and understanding the groundwater flow regime. For in situ remediation at bedrock sites\, the treatment technology and amendment delivery methods require careful consideration. Two case studies were presented that demonstrate how well-developed CSMs were leveraged to implement successful remediation approaches at complex bedrock sites.

SUMMARY:Overcoming Fractured Bedrock Investigation Challenges
DESCRIPTION:The webinar was presented for informational purposes. The views expressed do not necesssaily 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. \nThe webinar included a presentation from Derek Pizarro & Bill Brab\, AST Environmental [PDF] \nThe presentation described how to succinctly characterize a fractured bedrock site to design an injection program. The main difference between this Remedial Design Characterization (RDC) approach and conventional bedrock investigation is the use of Bedrock Characterization and Injection Points (BCIP)\, which allow concise investigation and increased radius of influence (ROI) and distribution in the formation via fractures\, features\, discontinuities\, secondary porosities\, and other subsurface pathways that are either typically under-characterized or overlooked for traditional injection operations.

SUMMARY:Minimum Post-Consumer Recycled Content Model Legislation for Plastics
DESCRIPTION:Starting in 2020\, a group of state recycling officials from the northeast worked together to develop draft Model Legislation for minimum post-consumer recycled plastic content in trash and carry-out bags and food\, beverage\, and household product containers. The Model Legislation is intended as a common starting point in the development of legislation requiring the use of post-consumer recycled plastic in specified products sold in the states. During this webinar\, NEWMOA and NERC reviewed the draft Model. \nPresenters: \n\nTerri Goldberg\, NEWMOA\nLynn Rubinstein\, NERC\n\nView the Slides \nView the recorded webinar

SUMMARY:Recycled Content Mandates: The Good\, the Bad\, & the Ugly
DESCRIPTION:This webinar was co-sponsored by NEWMOA\, Northeast Recycling Council (NERC)\, and West Coast Forum on Climate and Materials Management. \nRecycled content mandates are growing in popularity as a policy mechanism to engage producers in responsibility for recycling markets\, sharing in the costs of a functioning recycling system\, and reducing climate change impacts. But not all recycled content mandates are the same\, and some have the potential for unintended consequences. \nThis webinar took a closer look at: \n\nCalifornia’s experience with several\, very different recycled content mandates\nWhether or how mandates might support\, or conflict with\, broader extended producer responsibility policies\nPotential economic and environmental limitations of recycled content mandates\, and some possible solutions\n\nSpeakers: \n\nMark Murray [PDF]\, Executive Director\, Californians Against Waste\nSteve Alexander [PDF]\, President and CEO\, Association of Plastics Recyclers\nDavid Allaway [PDF]\, Senior Policy Analyst\, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality\n\n \n

SUMMARY:PFAS Air Emissions: Impacts to Groundwater & Stack Testing
DESCRIPTION:The 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. \nThe webinar included the following presentations: \nCatherine Beahm\, New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) [PDF] presented a case study where air emissions from a coating facility effected a large area\, including impacts to groundwater. The presentation also outlined New Hampshire’s regulatory authority to protect groundwater from the effects of air emissions and how DES is implementing it. \nWesley Fritz\, Weston Solutions [PDF] presented Innovative Sampling & Analysis Techniques for Stack Sampling of PFAS Air Emissions from Stationary Sources. He covered practical experiences with stack sampling for PFAS at chemical manufacturing\, coating operations\, sewage sludge incineration\, and carbon regeneration facilities using sampling methods developed in collaboration with a partnering laboratory. These methods formed the basis for EPA’s Draft PFAS stack sampling method OTM-45. Sources tested include the inlets and outlets of air pollution devices\, including carbon beds\, wet scrubbers\, and thermal oxidizers. \n \n
