WORKSHOPS

Workshop 1 1:00pm – 4:00pm

Environmental Forensics: Challenges and SolutionsIoana G. Petrisor, Ph.D., ToxStrategies, Mission Viejo, CA Jeffrey L. Caufield, Caufield & James LLP, San Diego, CA Massimiliano Lega, University of Napoli Parthenope, Napoli, Italy

Environmental Forensics focuses on reconstruction of past contamination events to establish the source and age of environmental contaminants and to allocate between responsible parties. This workshop will present a series of challenging situations in which appropriate strategies were developed to provide defensible and cost-effective solutions in a series of applications, including litigation support, uncovering illegal contamination, and site remediation. The focus will be on effective strategy building from both scientific and legal perspectives. Participants will learn the principles and how to practically use a variety of fingerprinting techniques, from basic chemical fingerprinting to sophisticated state-of-the-art techniques such as mineralogical, chiral, and tree-ring fingerprinting, as well as aerial imaging using drones and infrared sensors. Case-study examples (including contaminants such as petroleum products, metals, PCBs, and/or chlorinated solvents) will be provided to illustrate the use of individual or combined fingerprinting approaches for building appropriate strategies to reveal what caused contamination and how to effectively deal with it.

A special part of this workshop will be dedicated to the emerging issues arising from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), including a review of PFAS basic properties and environmental behavior, along with proven fingerprinting techniques and potential applicability in evaluating PFAS sources. Ultimately, the goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for sharing knowledge and strategic ideas to tackle complex environmental and legal cases.

MONDAY AFTERNOON March 18, 2019

Workshop 2 1:00pm – 5:00pm

Per- and Poly-Fluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS): The Latest InformationElizabeth Denly, ASQ CMQ/OE, TRC, Lowell, MA Amy Wilson, PhD, PE, TRC, Concord, CA Jenny Phillips, DABT, TRC, Fort Collins, CO Martha Maier, Vista Analytical Laboratory, El Dorado Hills, CA John Barg, Barg Coffin Lewis and Trapp, San Francisco, CA

PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) are a diverse group of man-made chemicals that are resistant to heat, water, and oil. Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are the most commonly detected PFAS in humans, biota, and other environmental media, and are also the most commonly regulated PFAS.

An increasing number of studies performed globally indicate that PFAS are ubiquitous. Their persistence and ability to transport are of growing concern, as resistance to natural attenuation processes in groundwater results in long-distance migration in plumes, potentially affecting drinking water supplies. Health effects and toxicity are only beginning to be understood. The demand for PFAS testing and analysis has increased, and because of their ubiquitous nature, PFAS present both a sampling challenge and an important consideration in source attribution by regulators.

This workshop is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding and the most up-to-date information associated with PFAS, including: history and sources of PFAS; regulatory status and future industrial/legal implications; the unique chemistry of PFAS, including precursors; exposure, health effects, and toxicity; sampling and analytical challenges and options; fate and transport; remediation challenges; data evaluation; and forensics. The presenters were selected based on their intimate knowledge of the issues and their ability to answer practical questions. Attendees are encouraged to raise topics for discussion about the technical and regulatory challenges associated with PFAS investigations.

Workshop 3 1:00pm – 5:00pm

ITRC’s Technical & Regulatory Guidance: Characterization and Remediation of Fractured BedrockRyan A. Wymore, P.E., CDM Smith, Denver, CO Naji Akladiss, Maine Department of Environmental Protection, Augusta, ME David Scheer, P.G., Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, St. Paul, MN Tamzen Macbeth, Ph.D., P.E., CDM Smith, Helena, MT

After decades of contaminated site characterization and remediation, our understanding of the distribution, fate, and transport of contamination, and remedial technologies have improved such that many sites are reaching remedial objectives. Many of the remaining sites that require remediation are more challenging with contamination is present in fractured and weathered bedrock. To help meet these challenges, the ITRC has created a Technical and Regulatory Guidance document on Characterization and Remediation of Fractured Bedrock, which was published in December 2017.

While ITRC is currently offering free two-hour webinars that summarize this newest ITRC guidance document, the proposed workshop will provide a significantly more in-depth analysis of the guidance in an interactive classroom format. At its core, the ITRC fractured rock guidance document and this workshop will cover the fundamental differences between characterization and remediation at fractured rock sites versus unconsolidated sites. The workshop will discuss basic site characteristics such as geology/rock type, flow of groundwater in the rock matrix and in fractures, and fate and transport of contaminants, including the potential impact of matrix diffusion. In addition, the workshop will discuss planning and design of characterization programs, selection of appropriate tools (including an interactive demonstration of a tools matrix), and will provide a primer regarding remedy selection, design, implementation, and monitoring. Finally, case studies will be presented to illustrate the concepts presented in each section of the workshop.

Following presentation of these topics, this workshop will discuss how the ITRC fractured rock document incorporates principles from the 2015 ITRC Integrated Site Characterization document and also how the ITRC 2011 Integrated DNAPL Site Strategy can be used at fractured rock sites. Overall, this workshop will show attendees how to use these ITRC resources to develop a fully integrated site strategy and apply robust decision making to improve characterization and remedy implementation at fractured rock sites.

All workshops are FREE to municipal, state, and federal personnel registered for the conference. Use discount code REG-MSF. Pre-registration is required. If you are registering as “workshop only” and are not registering for the conference, the workshop fee applies.

WORKSHOPS

MONDAY AFTERNOON March 18, 2019

Workshop 4 1:00pm – 5:00pm

An International Methodology for Application of Sustainable Remediation at Brownfield SitesPaola Barreto, Jacobs, Philadelphia, PA Betsy Collins, Jacobs, Raleigh, NC James K. Henderson, DuPont, Charlotte, NC Maria Cristina Lemes, CDM Smith, Denver, CO Kevin Morris, ERM, Malvern, PA

Despite abundant interest in sustainable remediation in international regions, its use and application is hampered by contextual barriers. Historically, the transfer of technologies from developed countries has been instrumental in addressing contaminant issues; however, the uniqueness of each country, their regulatory framework and the singularities of each contaminated site often can drive a project to failure. Practitioners have difficulty adopting practices described in a patchwork of guides and whitepapers from North America and Europe, which are not well adapted to the international context. This is especially the case when social aspects of remediation are considered, given that contaminants disproportionately impact society in developing regions. But, these complicating factors also represent an opportunity to take advantage of the social, economic and environmental benefits of sustainable remediation, and for practitioners who are willing to test new approaches within and outside the American and European markets.

The approach used in this methodology, applicable in either domestic or international markets, is fundamental, organic and flexible: social, environmental and economic aspirations are developed collaboratively with internal stakeholders, followed by definition of specific goals, key performance indicators (KPIs), metrics and best management practices (BMPs). Sustainable aspirations define the long-term desired sustainable outcome for the project and establish a framework that project team members can embrace while making decisions and taking actions. Goals and metrics connect the aspirations to the project reality and establish an observable and measurable desired result. BMPs target activities and approaches that reduce the environmental footprint of decontamination, demolition, site characterization and remediation activities. A systematic protocol based on the ASTM Standard Guide for Greener Cleanups is used to identify, prioritize, select, implement, and report on the use of BMPs. KPIs are developed to measure sustainable performance, assess the effectiveness of implementation of BMPs and inform strategy and decision making.

This workshop includes the following:

• Discussion of the pollution landscape in developing regions and the challenges we face to achieve the United Nations (UN) 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to poverty, inequality, climate and environmental degradation.

• Description of the methodology proposed, focused on the development of key deliverables such as the project roadmap (including sustainability aspirations, goals and KPIs), strategy for implementation of BMPs; and business planning for asset repurposing while leveraging remediation technologies for cleanup.

• Analysis of various case-studies, involving dismantling, remediation, and redevelopment of an industrial site, to illustrate the application of the proposed methodology and achievements to date.

• Practical exercise focused on a detailed demonstration of the tools developed by this team.

This workshop is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of emerging contamination issues in developing regions and the methodology proposed for application of sustainable remediation approaches. Participants will be asked to provide feedback on the applicability and usability of the tools developed.

All workshops are FREE to municipal, state, and federal personnel registered for the conference. Use discount code REG-MSF. Pre-registration is required. If you are registering as “workshop only” and are not registering for the conference, the workshop fee applies.

Workshop 5 8:30am – 12:00pm Evidence and Methods for Monitoring Key Environmental Conditions at the Time of Indoor Air Quality SamplingHenry Schuver, US EPA, Washington, DC Chris Lutes, Jacobs, Raleigh, NC Chase Holton, Geosyntec Consultants, Denver, CO Jeff Kurtz, Geosyntec Consultants, Denver, CO Robert Truesdale, RTI International, Durham, NCTypical real-world and field limitations often result in ‘near-randomly’ timed indoor air samples. When trying to represent the upper 95th percentile of exposure (as per the EPA 2015 Vapor Intrusion [VI] Guide), 19 out of 20 randomly timed samples will not be at or above the reasonable maximum exposure concentration as defined by EPA. While an individual random sample has a one out of twenty chance of equaling or exceeding the 95th percentile of the exposure distribution, to be 95% confident that at least one sample exceeds that level requires collection of 58 randomly timed samples.

Previous 2018 workshops at AEHS have shown, in particular cases, evidence suggesting that supplemental measurements (i.e. differential temperature, pressure, and radon) can inform, guide and help interpret the meaning of the chemical samples for representing the exposures of most, or least, concern. Through these workshops it has become increasingly apparent that individual chemical indoor air sampling results for VI investigations that do not include concurrent measurements of the key environmental conditions influencing VI (called Indicators, Tracers and Surrogates [ITS] here) are of questionable value.

This workshop will focus on: 1) new evidence illustrating the relationships between these metrics (differential temperature, pressure, and radon) and VI into buildings, settings, and climates that have not yet been reported on and 2) practical methods that could be used to measure/monitor these key environmental conditions influencing VI that are known for their use as ITS. In addition, the workshop will begin exploring the technical basis for using measured chemical volatile organic compound (CVOC) concentrations in near-building soil gas combined with concurrently measured radon attenuation factors to predict indoor CVOC vapor concentrations, and how to test that in the field. The workshop will also address how to predict future ITS levels and how to be able to time indoor sampling events based on them.

In an evening supplementary session, the workshop will include hands-on training, with the equipment involved in making these ITS measurements concurrent with chemical indoor air sampling. These measurements can develop a building-specific baseline distribution to compare with the ITS measured at the time of CVOC sampling.

Tuesday, March 19, 2019 12:00pm – 1:30pmCannabis, Water, and Environmental Crimes in Southern CaliforniaEric Lindberg, PG, CHG, Senior Engineering Geologist; Chief, Regional Cannabis Cultivation Regulatory Unit, Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board, Riverside, CAThe passage of Prop. 64 ushered in a new era of legal cannabis cultivation and recreational consumption in California. However, many cities and counties in southern California continue to prohibit the commercial cultivation of cannabis. Local law enforcement is tasked with raiding and eradicating illegal grows and prosecutors rely on agencies such as the State and Regional Water Boards and the Dept. of Fish and Wildlife to document violations of environmental laws, which can be felony enhancements on what would otherwise be a misdemeanor charge of unpermitted cultivation.

As Chief of the South Coast Cannabis Cultivation Regulatory Unit, Mr. Lindberg will describe some of the environmental crimes that his unit has witnessed in their efforts to regulate water use and wastewater discharges associated with the new commercial cannabis cultivation industry. His unit has participated in search warrant inspections of illegal cannabis cultivation sites where discharges of wastes, including chemical pesticides, fertilizers, hydrocarbons, and worse have entered California’s streams and rivers.

Environmental Forensics – Applications and Advances in Fingerprinting Techniques to Determine Responsibility for Releases of Organic Contaminants into the EnvironmentPaul Philp, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OKThe concept of environmental forensics has evolved significantly over the years. Basically, it is concerned with establishing the relationship between a contaminant in the environment and its suspected source(s), or point(s) of release. Such contaminants may cover a wide range of compounds or mixtures of compounds, ranging from volatile compounds, such as benzene or chlorinated solvents, refined products, crude oils, or complex mixtures of aromatic compounds. They may be present as free product, dissolved in water, adsorbed on soil particles, or in the vapor phase. A wide variety of techniques exist to characterize and establish their potential relationship with possible sources or points of release. The standard EPA methods are of little use in forensic studies since those methods are directed towards monitoring concentration data for specific contaminants of interest rather than determining the source(s).

Forensic investigations typically use a tiered approach in terms of fingerprinting tools. Preliminary characterization is undertaken by gas chromatography (GC) followed by more detailed analyses by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS). The fingerprints, or chromatograms, obtained in this manner often provide sufficient information to determine relationships between contaminant and possible release points. However, there are also many cases where the resulting GC and GCMS data are ambiguous and possibly misleading. In such cases it is possible to go to a more specialized tier of analyses and utilize the stable isotope composition of individual contaminant compounds. This is particularly valuable for single component contaminants, such as MTBE, BTEX, or PCE, where GC and GCMS are of virtually no use for correlation or source differentiation. Many of these compounds can be thought of as legacy contaminants released from point sources. In the future more emphasis will be placed on emerging contaminants that may be released over a far greater area. An example of this would be pesticides released into watershed areas. Stable isotopes could be used to monitor the fate and transport of contaminants in such a scenario.

Early applications of stable isotopes to environmental problems were limited to carbon and hydrogen isotopes. Chlorine isotopes can now be routinely measured for most of the common chlorinated groundwater contaminants and, in the not too distant future, bromine isotopes will also be routinely available. This introduces the possibility of a 3D isotope approach for both source correlations and attenuation studies. Stable isotopes, including Cl, are well suited for use in the rapidly emerging area of vapor intrusion studies to differentiate indoor sources of contaminants vs. subsurface contaminants. Methods are also available for characterizing the N and S isotopes of various contaminants and using them in the same manner as the C, H, and Cl isotopes where possible.

While most of environmental isotope studies have been concerned with stable isotopes, there are a small number of studies using 14C for certain applications. These studies are limited due to the half-life of 14C, but interesting applications related to biofuels and distinguishing brominated compounds biosynthesized by marine organisms from those in fire retardants have been published and will be discussed.

Finally, the use of the various fingerprinting techniques for monitoring attenuation at sites undergoing remediation will be discussed. The combined use of the stable isotopes, GC, and GCMS can be extremely valuable tools for monitoring remediation as well as determination of the onset of natural attenuation.

Workshop 7 6:30pm – 9:30pm

Desalination of Sea Water – Challenges in Creating a New Water ResourceModerators: John Hills, Irvine Ranch Water District (retired), Orange, CA Ravi Arulanantham, Geosyntec Consultants, Oakland, CA Yue Rong, Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles, CA

Panelists: TBA, Poseidon, Carlsbad, CA Jeremy Crutchfield, San Diego Water Authority, San Diego, CA Eric Sanders, City of Carlsbad Water Utility, Carlsbad, CA John Kennedy, Orange County Water District, Fountain Valley, CA Sean Sterchi, State Water Resources Control Board, San Diego, CA Ray Hiemstra, Orange County Coast Keepers, Costa Mesa, CA

Water resources are extremely precious in California especially in Southern California’s semi-arid environment. With the population increasing, environmental concerns, and agricultural demands, water providers will be under pressure to identify new water resources. Tackling the water scarcity problem will need to involve more efficient and more economic ways of treating water, especially desalination. Desalination is the removal of salt and contaminants from water. It involves a broad range of technologies that yield access to marginal sources of water such as seawater, brackish ground- and surface water, and wastewater. Given the reduction in access to fresh water in recent decades and the uncertainty in availability affected by climate change, desalination will be critical for ensuring the future of humanity. Panelists at this workshop will present a comprehensive review of water desalination systems, whether operated by conventional energy or renewable energy, to convert saline water into fresh water. This workshop will include panelists from regulatory, private industry, and water end users to discuss the development, challenges, costs, and other issues related to desalination.

WEDNESDAY MORNING March 20, 2019

Wednesday, March 20, 2019 12:00pm – 1:30pmInternational Disparities in Childhood Lead Poisoning: Following Metal Production to the World’s Most Vulnerable CommunitiesIan von Lindern, P.E., Ph.D., Co-Founder, TerraGraphics International Foundation, Moscow, ID Margrit von Braun, P.E., Ph.D., Co-Founder, TerraGraphics International Foundation, Moscow, ID Casey Bartrem, Ph.D., Executive Director, TerraGraphics International Foundation, Moscow, IDThe near elimination of childhood lead poisoning in the US and other high-income countries is one of the great 20th century public health achievements. The Flint water crisis and aging urban housing are examples of inequitable distribution of risk, but they are the exception to otherwise declining US blood lead levels. Conversely, children in low-income countries are being severely poisoned at levels never seen in North America or Europe.

This “export” of lead poisoning is a familiar story; mining, smelting, and recycling industries have largely abandoned high-income countries and the formal sector for locations with inadequate or poorly-enforced regulations. In these economies, informal sector work (including e-waste and battery recycling) and artisanal mining (usually gold) increasingly dominate the job markets. These shifts are fueled by global consumer demand for cheap electronics and automobiles and – inadvertently – by US public and environmental health experts who worked for decades to improve domestic community and worker protection. There is an urgent need to recognize these global inequalities and export sound scientific methodologies, including risk assessment, remediation, and regulatory frameworks, to address environmental health disparities in the world’s most vulnerable communities.

SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY BOARDThe AEHS Foundation attributes the success of this conference, in large part, to a very dedicated and hard working Scientific Advisory Board (SAB). The SAB evaluates abstract submissions, recommends invited papers and presenters, advises with regard to session topics, and serves as conference ambassadors. The SAB is crucial to the conference development. Care is taken to create a board that represents philosophical, scientific, regulatory, and geographical balance.
