PFAS Management Considerations for Landfill Managers (Room Room 128)

Since every landfill sampled has PFAS in one or more media, including soil, groundwater, leachate and airborne emissions, PFAS presents a growing public and site worker safety issue. Join industry experts to discuss preferred management pathways to reduce potential environmental and safety burdens. Explore key PFAS management considerations, including the impact of existing and proposed PFAS regulations on the solid waste industry, practices for the reduction of PFAS in and from landfill leachate, and the cost implications of PFAS management. Gain insight into how to address worker and community safety, and how to manage public participation and relations. This session does not cover treatment technologies.
