In this webinar we were pleased to have special guest speakers WSP's Matt Burns, VP and Technical Director of the Earth and Environment Practice, and Joe Ricker, Senior Technical Principal. Their presentation discussed using groundwater plume analytics to support MNA, with potential application for PFAS. They were joined by Maureen Dooley, Vice President - Industrial Sector at REGENESIS.
Highlights of this free webinar:
-
Potential applicability of plume analytics to MNA of PFAS
-
Using analytics to assess plume stability and other plume attributes, with examples from remediation sites
-
Use of colloidal activate carbon to eliminate risk of PFAS contamination in groundwater
