PFAS Site Investigation in Practice

Drilling, Characterization, and WaterlooAPS™ Applications

PFAS site investigations require careful planning because low detection limits, complex plume behavior, and potential cross-contamination can affect data quality. This webinar explains practical field considerations for PFAS investigative drilling, including equipment preparation, decontamination procedures, water sourcing, trip blanks, and material selection. Attendees will also learn how traditional and high resolution site characterization approaches help define PFAS distribution, migration pathways, and flux zones. The session concludes with a focused look at WaterlooAPS™ applications for collecting depth-discrete groundwater samples and building more defensible conceptual site models.

Key Learning Points

  • Understand how drilling practices, equipment preparation, and field quality controls help reduce PFAS cross-contamination risk.
  • Learn how to use PFAS site characterization data to better define source areas, plume behavior, and migration pathways.
  • Discover how WaterlooAPS™ supports high resolution profiling, flux-zone identification, and depth-discrete groundwater sampling.

Why Attend
Attend this webinar to gain practical guidance for planning and executing PFAS investigations with greater confidence. You’ll leave with field-focused considerations that can help improve data reliability, support better project decisions, and reduce uncertainty before remediation planning begins.
