Presentation Description: 
These two presentations will aid LSPs as they work to better understand the types and concentrations of PFAS associated with a variety of (known) source types in New England, and aid LSPs in source identification and site delineation.
 

PFAS in New England: An Assessment of Distribution Data from Regulated Sites, Jonathan D. Kitchen, PG, LSP, CEC Inc.

CEC has recently completed a literature review to better understand the types of PFAS releases in New England. Empirical information was collected on a variety of parameters including PFAS plume length and area, the status of investigation and remedial activities, the maximum concentrations of regulated PFAS compounds detected in groundwater and soil proximal to the source sites, and the industry/source type at each location. 

The results of the review will be presented, including analysis of PFAS distribution at regulated sites in New England to identify and understand trends.

This study was partially funded by an LSPA WES Professional Practice Grant.

Whose PFAS is It?, Elizabeth Denly, ASQ CMQ/OE, TRC Companies

Evaluation of the relative composition of individual PFAS compounds in surface water and groundwater samples can be an effective method to identify and differentiate source(s) of PFAS. Comparison of chemical fingerprints in samples collected from surface water and groundwater located downstream and downgradient of contaminated sites may appear to be the same simply because of the suite of analytes chosen for fingerprinting. However, chemical signatures in combination with fate and transport must be considered during forensics source identification. Attendees will receive an overview of the efficacy and limitations of using PFAS analytes as fingerprints for source identification, delineation, and ultimately cost allocation with a specific focus on aqueous film forming foam (AFFF). 

There will be time set aside at the end of the presentation for questions & answers.
