Environmental Forensics: Challenges and Solutions Ioana G. Petrisor, Ph.D., ToxStrategies, Mission Viejo, CA Jeffrey L. Caufield, Caufield & James LLP, San Diego, CA Massimiliano Lega, University of Napoli Parthenope, Napoli, Italy Ken Scally, Ph.D., Chemtest, UK Environmental forensics focuses on reconstruction of past contamination events in order to establish the source and age of environmental contaminants and to allocate between responsible parties. The key for success lies in applying independent lines of evidence using the wealth of available knowledge and advanced techniques from various sciences. This workshop will present a series of challenging situations and will show how appropriate strategies were developed to provide defensible and cost-effective solutions for litigation support, uncovering illegal contamination and site remediation. The focus will be on effective strategy building from both scientific and legal perspectives. The participants will learn the principles and how to practically use a variety of fingerprinting techniques from the basic chemical fingerprinting to the sophisticated state-of-the-art techniques such as mineralogical, chiral and tree-ring fingerprinting, as well as aerial imaging using drones and infrared sensors. Examples from real case studies will be provided to illustrate the use of individual or combined fingerprinting approaches for building appropriate strategies to reveal what caused contamination and how to effectively deal with it. The presented case studies involve common contaminants such as crude oil and petroleum products, metals, PCBs, and chlorinated solvents. Ultimately, the goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for sharing the knowledge and strategic ideas to tackle complex environmental and legal cases.
Workshop 2 1:30pm – 5:30pm, Santa Fe 3
California’s Environmental Challenges: What to Do with Dry Cleaner Sites Ravi Arulanantham, Ph.D., Geosyntec Consultants, Oakland, CA Yue Rong, Ph.D., Cal-EPA/LA RWQCB, Los Angeles, CA Nick Amini, Ph.D., Cal-EPA/Santa Ana RWQCB, Riverside, CA The dry cleaning industry is more than one hundred years old in California. It is difficult to estimate the number and locations of historical and current dry cleaning operations in California. From the SWRCB and DTSC databases, currently there are more than one thousand active and former listed dry cleaner sites in California that have undergone or are undergoing some form of assessment or cleanup. The DTSC, RWQCBs and CUPAs provide oversight for these environmental activities. The age of these sites varies from a few years old to many decades old. In the early days, Stoddard solvent was used, and later PCE became the most commonly used solvent in dry cleaning operations. In the past ten years, many dry cleaners have phased out the use of PCE, although some continue to use it even today. Even though PCE is the third most common man-made contaminant found in California’s groundwater, most dry cleaner sites are poorly investigated (unless an impact to a supply well or human health is involved). The large number of dry cleaner sites in the State, combined with the physical properties of PCE (e.g., it is heavier than water) and the fact that unlike petroleum hydrocarbons PCE is not easily amenable to natural degradation and can persist in the soil and groundwater environment for many decades, and the limited resources of many current and prior dry cleaner operators, make for a particularly difficult California Environmental Challenge. The path to achieve closure at these sites is complicated, expensive, and unpredictable; most of the sites (especially in the urban areas) linger for years on end, sometimes without an endpoint or obtainable cleanup objective but without there being an immediate risk of adverse impacts to drinking water. The extensive amount of uncertainty for these sites across the State also creates significant delays and added costs to brownfield development work throughout California, particularly in urban areas, thereby creating a drag on the California economy. Litigation is commonplace, often for no other purpose than to trigger some potential for insurance proceeds, as liability for the cleanup of these sites is not easily disputed. Should there be a more realistic approach to dry cleaner cleanups? Would it be in the best interest of the State to set up a cleanup fund similar to the UST cleanup fund program? Should a separate set of oversight criteria be established for dry cleaner sites, including a more streamlined set of oversight and cleanup procedures? Is the existing step-by-step, cumbersome, and often expensive approach to dry cleaner sites truly in the best interest of California’s environment? This workshop will also include the findings of a recent California-wide plume study of dry cleaner sites. These issues and others will be discussed, with the hope of starting a dialogue to find a better path forward for these sites.

ITRC Guidance on Bioavailability of Contaminants in Soil Claudio Sorrentino, Ph.D., Department of Toxic Substances Control, Human and Ecological Risk Office, Sacramento, CA Valerie Hanley, Ph.D., Department of Toxic Substances Control, Human and Ecological Risk Office, Sacramento, CA Barrie Selcoe, CH2M, Houston, TX The bioavailability of a contaminant in soil is a measure of how much it can be absorbed into the body after a person has been exposed to the soil. In general, only a fraction of the total contaminant present in soil is absorbed into the human body and is available to cause health impacts. Understanding what that fraction is leads to a better assessment of the risks and consequently to more informed remedial decisions. Often, evaluating bioavailability leads to a more effective use of the resources available without compromising the level of health protection. Many regulatory documents explicitly allow for the use of site-specific bioavailability assessments. However, more often than not, site investigations do not focus on evaluating site-specific bioavailability. Traditionally, the reasons for not allowing the use of site-specific bioavailability evaluation included a lack of understanding of the issue, high cost of in vivo tests, and uncertainty and lack of validation of in vitro tests. In the last several years, for some contaminants including lead, arsenic, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), there have been advances in generating high quality supporting data, validating lower cost in vivo methods, and refining and validating in vitro methods. For lead and arsenic, there are relatively low-cost in vitro tests that correlate well with approved in vivo methods. One of the biggest hurdles to more mainstream use of these innovations by regulatory agencies is the gap in training and understanding of the benefits and scientific underpinnings. The workshop will focus on site-specific bioavailability evaluation of lead, arsenic, and PAHs in soil. The workshop will present information from the then newly released ITRC web-based guidance document, Bioavailability of Contaminants in Soil: Considerations for Human Health Risk Assessment (BCS-1), published November 2017. It will provide the participants with an in-depth understanding on the consensus of the state-of-the-art in the field and tools to decide when and how to evaluate site-specific bioavailability and bioaccessibility for these three contaminants. It will teach how to integrate information on bioavailability into the risk assessment and how the refinement of the risk assessment can influence risk management decisions.

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS): The Latest Information Elizabeth Denly, ASQ CMQ/OE, Quality Assurance & Chemistry Systems Manager, TRC, Lowell, MA Amy Wilson, Ph.D., PE, Technical Director, TRC, Concord, CA Jenny Phillips, DABT, Director of Risk Assessment and Toxicology, TRC, Fort Collins, CO Claudio Sorrentino, Ph.D., Senior Toxicologist, California Department of Toxic Substances Control, Sacramento, CA Martha Maier, Laboratory Director, Vista Analytical Laboratory, El Dorado Hills, CA John Barg, Founding Partner, Barg Coffin Lewis and Trapp, LLP, San Francisco, CA PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a diverse group of man-made chemicals that are resistant to heat, water, and oil. Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are the most commonly detected PFAS in humans, biota, and other environmental media, and are also the most commonly regulated PFAS. An increasing number of studies performed globally indicate that PFAS are ubiquitous. Their persistence and ability to transport are of growing concern, as resistance to natural attenuation processes in groundwater results in long-distance migration in plumes, potentially affecting drinking water supplies. Health effects and toxicity are only beginning to be understood. The demand for PFAS testing and analysis has increased, and because of their ubiquitous nature, PFAS present both a sampling challenge and an important consideration in source attribution by regulators. This workshop is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding and the most up-to-date information associated with PFAS, including: history and sources of PFAS; regulatory status and future industrial/legal implications; the unique chemistry of PFAS, including precursors; exposure, health effects, and toxicity; sampling and analytical challenges and options; fate and transport; remediation challenges; data evaluation; and forensics. The presenters were selected based on their intimate knowledge of the issues and their ability to answer practical questions. Attendees are encouraged to raise topics for discussion about the technical and regulatory challenges associated with PFAS investigations.

WORKSHOP/PLATFORM SESSIONS Workshop 5 8:30am – 12:00pm, Pavilion
State-of-the-Science for Indicators, Tracers, and Surrogates of Chlorinated Vapor Intrusion: Supplemental Measurements for Minimizing the Number of Chemical Indoor Air Samples Needed Presenters and Invited Panelists:
Henry Schuver, US EPA, Washington, DC Chase Holton, CH2M Hill, Englewood, CO Christopher Lutes, CH2M Hill, Chapel Hill, NC Jeff Kurtz, Geosyntec Consultants, Greenwood Village, CO Robert Truesdale, RTI International, Research Triangle Park, NC This workshop involves the latest thinking on the use of ‘Indicators, Tracers & Surrogates’ for improving the timing and location of indoor chemical sampling so that a minimum number of samples can provide quantifiable confidence for representing regulatory goals, such as Reasonable Maximum Exposures (RME). Chlorinated vapor intrusion (CVI) is complex, involving multiple factors and interactions. Only indoor air chemical samples can represent all the factors influencing CVI exposures, but indoor air chemical concentrations are highly variable between buildings and over time, and can be subject to ‘background’ influences. Many indoor samples may be needed to
document upper percentile or Reasonable Maximum Exposures (RME). However, because chemical indoor air samples are expensive, difficult to collect, subject to interference, and disruptive to occupants, few samples are typically collected. Fortunately, there are numerous opportunities for related, practical, and inexpensive supplemental measurements that can represent significant portions of the VI pathway and can help both: 1) verify the overall conceptual site model for CVI and 2) identify the most representative/meaningful buildings and times for chemical sampling to minimize the number of samples needed to document confidence levels. Examples of supplemental measurements include indoor/outdoor/ sub-slab temperatures, air exchange rates, pressures, and radon levels. This workshop will present a compilation of the existing high-quality evidence and analyses testing the statistical associations between various supplemental measurements and indoor CVI concentrations across both time and space (buildings). It will explore which portions of the CVI pathway these supplemental measurements best and least represent, along with some cost considerations related to the number and types of samples needed. Steps in the CVI pathway where these supplemental measurements can provide information include: 1) source(s) of the chlorinated chemicals; 2) shallow advective migration; 3) preferential/pipe pathway (direct entry and with via soil gas); 4) mixing/dilution in indoor air; 5) advective driving forces (temperature and pressure differentials, wind, HVAC operation); and 6) exposure point concentrations. Recommendations for future analyses of existing and newly collected data sets will be made, including recommended future research involving more building types in a variety of hydrogeologic and climatic settings, release scenarios, as well as designs for testing the real-world ‘in-field’ practicality of these approaches in ongoing VI investigations.

State of the Practice: Advances in In-Situ Remediation
Session Chair: Avram Frankel, Integral Consulting, San Francisco, CA Over the past 15+ years, in-situ remediation has evolved considerably as our understanding of remediation hydraulics, subsurface microbial ecology, reagent performance, and other factors have advanced. Vapor intrusion concerns, desire for longer lasting reagents, and the challenges of mixed contaminant plumes, source treatment, and back-diffusion, not to mention emerging compounds of concern, have driven changes. In response, the reagent palette has expanded from a relatively small number of soluble sugars, oxygen-releasing/ oxidizing compounds, and iron to a broad suite of more complex, reliably injectable, and longer-lasting reagents with all kinds of purported qualities. But what is actually working under current performance requirements? This panel will focus on presentations from consultants, vendors, and contractors on the selection and successful implementation of these ‘next generation’ reagents to remediate soil and groundwater under a variety of subsurface and project conditions.

Session Chairs: Deborah Proctor, ToxStrategies, Inc., Mission Viejo, CA Efrem Neuwirth, Cal EPA, Department of Toxic Substances Control, Cypress, CA Risk-based decision making is driven by our understanding of the underlying toxicology of environmental contaminants. That understanding is not static, and when new information becomes available, it often results in conflicts with prior decisions or between regulatory agencies. The purpose of this workshop is to provide an update on the current toxicology of several chemicals that frequently drive site remediation decisions and costs in California (or could do so in the future). In addition, pending regulations that will affect the toxicity criteria used in risk assessment for many more chemicals will also be discussed.

Rob Bernard, Chief Environmental Strategist, Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA As society runs up against the limits of the Earth’s ecosystems, there is an urgent need to change the way we use its finite resources. With climate change, species extinction, and water scarcity all accelerating, we need to reinvent the way we interact with our planet. AI has the potential to reinvent the way we understand and live in the world. This talk will discuss how the software industry, including Microsoft, is investing in AI and sustainability through its “AI for Earth” program to transform our understanding of and management of the planet’s critical resources.

Environmental Ethics: A Tragedy of the Commons Perspective Richard T. Cartwright, PE, CHMM (IHMM Fellow), CPIM (APICS Fellow), Cartwright Environmental, East Amherst, NY Garrett Hardin, American Ecologist and Professor of Biology, hypothesized in his landmark Science Magazine (1968) “Tragedy of the Commons” essay that as our human population increases, there will be mounting pressures on resources at the local and global levels, leading to overexploitation and ruin. The following example of the logic of the commons was presented: Fourteenth century Britain was organized as a loosely aligned collection of villages, each with a common pasture for villagers to graze horses, cattle, and sheep. Each household attempted to gain wealth by putting as many animals on the commons as it could afford. As the village grew in size and more and more animals were placed on the commons, overgrazing ruined the pasture. No stock could be supported on the commons thereafter. As a consequence of population growth, greed, and the logic of the commons, village after village collapsed. Today, environmental professionals are confronted by a plethora of competing dynamics: globalization vs. national interests; urban vs. rural perspectives; tribal interests vs. individualism; abundance vs. scarcity; left wing politics vs. right wing politics; real news vs. fake news (alternative facts); and demands to do more with less resources provided. Mandates to eliminate two regulations for each new regulation proposed with an end goal of eliminating 75% of our regulations are creating uncertainty and anguish within our profession. Collectively reviewing our environmental ethics from a “Tragedy of the Commons” perspective will help us to reduce future uncertainty and facilitate forward-thinking decision-making based upon our professional integrity.

Environmental Forensics: Applications and Advances in Fingerprinting Techniques to Evaluate Who Was Responsible for a Spill or Release of Organic Contaminants into the Environment Paul Philp, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK The concept of environmental forensics has evolved significantly over the years. Basically, it is concerned with establishing the relationship between a contaminant in the environment and its suspected source(s), or point of release. Such contaminants can cover a wide range of compounds or mixtures of compounds. They may be volatile compounds such as benzene, chlorinated solvents, or complex crude oil mixtures; refined products; or complex mixtures of aromatic compounds. They may be present as free product, dissolved in water, adsorbed on soil particles, or present in the vapor phase. A wide variety of techniques exists to characterize and establish their potential relationship with possible sources or points of release. The standard EPA methods, which many are familiar with, are of little use in forensic studies since those methods are directed towards monitoring concentration data for specific contaminants of interest rather than determining the source. Forensic investigations typically use a tiered approach in terms of fingerprinting tools. Preliminary characterization is undertaken by gas chromatography (GC), followed by more detailed analyses by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS). The fingerprints, or chromatograms, obtained in this manner often provide sufficient information to determine relationships between contaminants and possible release points. However, there are also many cases where the resulting GC and GCMS data are ambiguous and possibly misleading. In such cases it is possible to go to a more specialized tier of analyses and utilize the stable isotope composition of individual contaminant compounds. This is particularly valuable for single component contaminants, such as MTBE, BTEX, or PCE, where GC and GCMS are of virtually no use for correlation or source differentiation. Early applications of stable isotopes to environmental problems were limited to carbon and hydrogen isotopes. Chlorine isotopes can now be routinely measured for most of the common chlorinated groundwater contaminants and, in the not too distant future, bromine isotopes will also be routinely available. This introduces the possibility of a 3-D isotope approach for both source correlations and attenuation studies. Stable isotopes, including Cl, are well suited for use in the rapidly emerging area of vapor intrusion studies to differentiate indoor sources of contaminants versus subsurface contaminants. While most of the environmental studies have been concerned with stable isotopes, there are a small number of studies using 14C for certain applications. These studies are limited due to the half-life of 14C, but interesting applications related to biofuels and distinguishing brominated compounds biosynthesized by marine organisms from those in fire retardants have been published and will be discussed. Finally, the use of the various fingerprinting techniques for monitoring attenuation at sites undergoing remediation will be discussed. The combined use of the stable isotopes, GC, and GCMS can be extremely valuable tools for monitoring remediation as well as determining the onset of natural attenuation.

ITRC Characterization and Remediation of Fractured Bedrock Ryan A. Wymore, P.E., CDM Smith, Denver, CO Michael B. Smith, Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, Montpelier, VT Tamzen Macbeth, Ph.D., P.E., CDM Smith, Helena, MT After decades of contaminated site characterization and remediation, our understanding of the distribution, fate, and transport of contamination and remedial technologies have improved such that many sites are reaching remedial objectives. Many of the remaining sites that require remediation are more challenging when contamination is present in fractured and weathered bedrock. To help meet these challenges, the ITRC has created a Technical and Regulatory Guidance document, Characterization and Remediation of Fractured Bedrock, published in December 2017. The proposed workshop will summarize this newest ITRC guidance document in an interactive classroom format. At its core, the ITRC fractured rock guidance document and this workshop will cover the fundamental differences between characterization and remediation at fractured rock sites versus unconsolidated sites. The workshop will discuss basic site characteristics such as geology/rock type, flow of groundwater in the rock matrix and in fractures, and fate and transport of contaminants, including the potential impact of matrix diffusion. In addition, the workshop will discuss planning and design of characterization programs and selection of appropriate tools (including an interactive demonstration of a tools matrix), and will provide a primer regarding remedy selection, design, implementation, and monitoring. Finally, case studies will be presented to illustrate the concepts presented in each section of the workshop. Following presentation of these topics, this workshop will discuss how the ITRC fractured rock document incorporates principles from the 2015 ITRC Integrated Site Characterization document and also how the ITRC 2011 Integrated DNAPL Site Strategy can be used at fractured rock sites. Overall, this workshop will show attendees how to use these ITRC resources to develop a fully integrated site strategy and apply robust decision-making to improve characterization and remedy implementation at fractured rock sites.

Mobile Air Quality Sensors: Tools, Performance Evaluation, and Applications Matt Small, Ph.D., PG, Office of Research and Development Regional Science Liaison, US EPA Region 9, San Francisco, CA Mobile and low-cost air quality sensors are an emerging technology and are now commercially available in a wide variety of designs and capabilities. While they are not yet suitable for regulatory use, these new sensors offer communities several benefits. People can use these sensors to easily collect highly localized, real-time data on air pollution. Communities need to understand the benefits and limitations of this technology. Users should also carefully evaluate the quality of sensors and the associated data. This session will provide information about mobile air quality sensor tools, applications, and performance evaluation. Tools discussed will include EPA’s online Real-Time Geospatial Data Viewer (RETIGO) and Air Sensor Toolbox. These are publicly available tools for evaluating and understanding data generated by mobile air sensors. The results of testing multiple sensor technologies at the California South Coast Air Quality Management District, Air Quality Sensor Performance Evaluation Center (AQ-SPEC) will be presented. Case studies of mobile sensor technology application will also be discussed, including: Imperial Valley’s IVAN online real-time Air Monitoring system; Spatial and Temporal Trends of Air Pollutants in the South Coast Basin Using Low Cost Sensors; and Aclima, Google, and EPA Partnership for collecting high-resolution mobile air quality data.

SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY BOARD The AEHS Foundation attributes the success of this conference, in large part, to a very dedicated and hard working Scientific Advisory Board (SAB). The SAB evaluates abstract submissions, recommends invited papers and presenters, advises with regard to session topics, and serves as conference ambassadors. The SAB is crucial to the conference development. Care is taken to create a board that represents philosophical, scientific, regulatory, and geographical balance.
