PFAS and Brownfields: Can Your Redevelopment Project Move Forward?

When PFAS are discovered in groundwater at a redevelopment site the remediation challenge becomes even greater since parts per trillion standards have to be met.  

Sites with historic industrial activity, aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) use, or metal finishing operations are increasingly facing PFAS-related cleanup requirements. Once PFAS is identified redevelopment project teams must answer a critical question: Should we walk away, or can we move forward with an acceptable level confidence?

This webinar provides a practical, experience-based framework to evaluate PFAS in situ remediation approaches and understand the financial and performance implications of available industry options. We will look at in situ adsorptive barriers using colloidal activated carbon, outlining where this technology may be viable and where long-term cost and operational realities require careful evaluation.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The advantages and limitations of in situ adsorptive barriers approaches versus available industry options.
  • Key site parameters that drive remedy selection, including soil type, groundwater velocity, treatment zone depth, PFAS concentrations and precursors, and the presence of co-contaminants.
  • Cost scenario comparisons of various PABs to help evaluate redevelopment return on investments.

Whether you are advising stakeholders, evaluating redevelopment risk, or developing remedial alternatives, this session will help you make informed and defensible decisions about PFAS-impacted properties with clarity around both technical feasibility and project economics
