Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, which are emerging contaminants known as “forever chemicals,” have become a hot topic in the environmental consulting world over the past few years.

As concerns about the environmental and public health risks of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) grow, the rules governing their use in aircraft rescue and firefighting foam are changing. While federal and state agencies work toward new PFAS regulations, requiring airports take steps to manage the associated long-term liability.

Remediating per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in groundwater presents numerous challenges, necessitating a site characterization workflow that differs from the industry standard. In this presentation, learn about a more strategic, effective approach to remediating complex sites, one that incorporates the use of 3D subsurface mapping — by way of Environmental Sequence Stratigraphy (ESS) — to target the PFAS groundwater sampling program and address critical data gaps. Implementing this approach reduces the cost and duration of PFAS investigations and provides a process-based conceptual site model that can be used to assess risk and design efficient remedial solutions for PFAS.

Fire safety and suppression have long been integral to the makeup of commercial airport operations. For decades, aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) has been a primary material that satisfies federal and state regulations and fire code requirements. This approved and resilient suppression agent has a proven track record of suppressing and stopping the propagation of fire, thus minimizing the impact of fire events on critical airport operations.

Issues related to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been top-of-mind for the environmental industry since the early 2000s, when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) raised concerns about PFAS-related health effects. Over the past two decades, such substances have drawn increased attention, prompting state and federal regulators to grapple with the challenges of how to regulate this ubiquitous class of compounds.

A deep understanding of the nuances of air quality regulations and permitting issues is critical to keeping facilities safe, operational and in compliance. This can be a daunting task when a project faces a range of regulations and permitting requirements — as well as the goal to keep a project moving forward seamlessly.

Complex site remediation can be costly and difficult if the existing conceptual site model (CSM) fails to account for the processes determining the persistence and behavior of groundwater contaminants. This presentation explores the benefits of using a web application-based CSM to achieve project goals and optimize remediation design.
