General Meeting
FRTR General Meeting Spring 2025: Source Differentiation and Risk Assessments for Sites Impacted by PFAS — Session 1: Strategies
Tuesday, May 13, 2025| 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM (EDT)
To register, visit https://clu-in.org/conf/tio/FRTRSpring25/.
Meeting Objectives:
The Spring 2025 General Meeting of the FRTR focuses on innovative approaches to characterize and survey complex mixtures of legacy and emerging contaminants in surface and subsurface environmental media. These include characterization of PFAS mixed with legacy contaminants, and the survey of organo-metallic and radiological contaminants to advance industrial application, enhance efficiency and reduce cost of remediation.
Presentations and discussions will address innovative technologies for:
- Identification and definition of contaminant extent in three-dimensions
- Contaminant sampling and surveying using modeling and statistical approaches
- Developing Visual Sampling Plans
- Supporting regulatory compliance and end-state remediation and cleanup decisions
