Description

PFAS 2021: State of the Science & Investigative Approaches at DoD Sites The Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) Denver Metro Post (DMP) is returning to in-person Monthly Programs. We have shifted to 4th Wednesday as our recurring target. Watch for our forecast 2021/22 Calendar soon, but we are also monitoring Federal/State COVID updates. What: PFAS 2021: State of the Science & Investigative Approaches at DoD Sites Where: Weston Solutions (Denver West) (4th Floor – Large Conference Center) 1626 Cole Blvd, Lakewood, CO 80401 Description: According to the GAO, PFAS cleanup within DOD sites alone is expected to exceed $2 billion in the next few years. While ongoing research is racing toward feasible remedial technologies as well as technologies capable of destroying PFAS, most solutions are still years, if not decades, from prove out. In the meantime, it is critical that our investigative approaches are comprehensive in scope and adaptable to the ever-changing regulatory and technological scenarios. This presentation will discuss the latest state of the science on treatment of PFAS and real-world application of investigation best practices and treatment technologies.
