Environmental Monitoring

Richardson Hill Road Landfill OM&M, New York Conducted routine landfill inspections at the Richardson Hill Road Landfill Superfund site. The site includes the landfill and a groundwater extraction and treatment system.

PFAS/Emerging Contaminants

Environmental Security Technology Certification Program, PFAS Removal and Destruction from Groundwater, New Hampshire Supported a treatability study testing the effectiveness of a novel treatment train to remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and reduce operation and disposal costs versus traditional granular activated charcoal treatment. The treatment train consisted of ion exchange resin, regeneration, and regenerant distillation, followed by low-energy plasma destruction of the concentrated PFAS brine. Assisted in preparation of reports, presentations, permits, and schedules. Conducted weekly sampling for the duration of the pilot test.
