Emerging Contaminants in Stormwater: Webinar

The management of emerging contaminants is a complex challenge given the evolving regulatory goals, uncertain source characterization, and lack of remedial research within the stormwater industry. Currently, the two most prominent emerging contaminants in this sector are 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

6PPD-Q is a significant emerging issue in Pacific Northwest stormwater and is gathering nationwide attention. Integral is at the forefront of 6PPD-Q research, offering in-depth insights into the science, policy, and potential solutions for manufacturers, engineers, permit holders, attorneys, and others involved in stormwater management. Our team will provide a comprehensive overview of 6PPD-Q regarding new and ongoing research on its toxicity, fate and transport, engineered solutions, and the latest policy updates.

PFAS is another pressing concern for stormwater professionals everywhere. Without federal limits, the path forward for managing PFAS in stormwater remains uncertain. We will provide the latest information on the status of policy development and guidance, explore treatment options for PFAS, and discuss how industries can get the most from their best management practices and treatment systems.
