Increasingly, landfills can play a critical societal role in the management of PFAS wastes and concentrates resulting from PFAS removal from water and wastewater streams and industrial cleanups. Landfills have a large capacity to sequester and store PFAS waste. The small quantities of PFAS in leachate open opportunities for landfill managers to develop synergistic relationships with wastewater treatment plants for managing PFAS-laden biosolids and leachate. Landfill managers need to understand the management options and opportunities available to them to address the PFAS issue.
Landfill managers and other professionals also need to understand the benefits, costs, commercialization status of the myriad of treatment technologies and systems that are available to treat leachate for PFAS removal on site. This course provides the information and education needed to understand and evaluate these technologies.
Finally, landfill managers need to understand the drivers and consequences of the ever-changing PFAS regulatory landscape and how new and future regulations could impact their choices of management approaches and technologies selection.
This course equips landfill personnel with the terminology and high-level understanding necessary to engage intelligently with regulators, engineers, and vendors about leachate management and treatment options and requirements.
