SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA’S WATER SUPPLY FUTURE AND THE SACRAMENTO-SAN JOAQUIN DELTA

The water supply of southern California and the Bay Area current depend substantially on water exports from the Sacramento-San JoaquinDelta. Sea level rise, land subsidence, seismic risk, flooding, increasing drinking water quality standards, and the decline of endangeredspecies combine to threaten the continued availability of this supply. These problems are described and alternative solutions are discussedand compared with implications given for water, environmental, and land use policies.

WHAT IS GREEN CHEMISTRY?

• The consideration of public health andenvironmental effects of chemicals—duringthe design of products and processes

• Creates a fundamentally new approach toenvironmental protection

Why is this Initiative Needed?• Regulatory efforts focus on emissions and

waste • A focus on design and process leads to

better protection• Mounting evidence shows relationship

between chemicals in products andnegative impacts

• Knowledge of chemicals in products andtheir impacts is limited

• Governments and industry are focusing inthis direction

FORUM ON VAPOR INTRUSION This four hour forum is designed to serve as a pilot for a series of broad-based meetings onvapor intrusion that will be specifically designed for public and community stakeholderaudiences. Public stakeholders will include people whose homes, businesses, or schoolshave been investigated and/or identified as being potential candidates for vapor intrusion(VI) mitigation. This Forum will provide an opportunity for the potentially-impacted publicto bring their perspectives and concerns to VI decision-makers to encourage better under-standing for both regulators and the public on each others roles and challenges. Thismeeting will begin by providing public stakeholders with a fundamental understanding ofvapor intrusion, its investigation, and typical mitigation and remediation approaches. TheForum will involve team and panel presentations by regulators and representatives ofimpacted communities who can share their perspective on specific lessons-learned. Suchinformation would be of use to others to avoid similar pitfalls and capitalize on similaropportunities for success at future VI sites.

TUESDAY, MARCH 11Workshops 1, 2, & 3

Workshop 1 (7:00 pm – 9:30 pm)

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE OF HYDROCARBONS INSOILS AND GROUNDWATERJames Dragun, The Dragun Corporation, Farmington Hills, MI

This workshop covers predicting bulk hydrocarbons migration, the extent of adsorptionof organic chemicals, chemical volatility in soil, chemical reaction rates for organicchemicals in soil, and biodegradation rates of organic chemicals in soils. Theinformation presented is in the context of site remediation, siting disposal facilities, andanalyzing potential chemical releases as part of the auditing/closure of industrialfacilities. Dr. Dragun's book, The Soil Chemistry of Hazardous Materials, SecondEdition, will be provided to registered participants.


ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTERS – PLANNING OURRESPONSE BEFORE THE NEXT KATRINANancy Mathews, CEM, Haley & Aldrich, Inc., Woodland Hills, CA

An Environmental Disaster is commonly acknowledged to be a manmade event (ratherthan a natural) which negatively impacts the environment at levels beyond our abilityto respond and mitigate them in a timely fashion. The disastrous effect to the Alaskanecosystem when the Exxon Valdez ran aground in 1989, and “Ground Zero Dust”filled with toxins released in the collapse of the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center,would be a good examples.

However the argument can be made that natural disasters can create an environmen-tal disaster. The 1994 Northridge Earthquake released a fungus in the nearby SanGabriel mountains which hadn’t seen the light of day in 400 years. The result wasValley Fever; an influenza-like illness which can infect humans, pets, cattle, wildlifeand marine mammals, and can cause a chronic pulmonary infection or disseminatinginfection effecting muscles, bones and joints.

But most dramatic was the environmental disaster caused by Hurricane Katrina and thesubsequent levee failures which swamped New Orleans and nearby communities withocean water loaded with everything from petroleum products to human waste. Thecontinued efforts to remediate the damage over 2 years later, with limited resources,might have been greatly improved if proper mitigation and emergency responseplanning measures had been in place.

This presentation will review the four steps of Emergency Management (mitigation,preparation, response and recovery), and offer tools to identify the players who shouldbe involved in developing your plans, as well as those to assist in the response andrecovery phases of a disaster. Based on NFPA 1600, the Standard for DisasterResponse and Business Continuity Planning, the emergency management processtakes an “all-hazard” approach which can be applied to manage all types of disasters,whether natural or manmade.

Many subsurface remediation attempts fail to reach the environmental objectives forwhich they were designed. One LUST State Fund Administrator estimates that 75% oftheir remediation efforts fail on the first go-round, and sometimes after multipleattempts. Yet, we know from bench-scale studies that many of the remedial measuresused work quite well under controlled conditions. This suggests that the failures resultnot as a function of remediation technologies per se, but rather because theapplication, delivery and/or selection of the given technology are not appropriate.

These observations in turn suggest that remedial failures occur for two key reasons: 1)The site conceptual model is insufficient to define the extent and character of the con-tamination to be targeted by the remedial measure; 2) The remedial measure is notdelivered efficiently, robustly, and/or is the wrong technology is selected relative to the

remedial objectives for a given set of conditions. Related to these technical issues arethe social factors. Failure depends on the perspective of the people making thatjudgment. Defining upfront what success looks like, setting appropriate expectationsand costs, and bettering the net environmental benefit of remediation actions are alltopics worthy of extensive discussion.

The focus of this workshop is on the technical items noted, but recognizing they cannotbe separated from the societal drivers if we are going to better the batting average ofremediation actions. The objective of the discussion is to learn from past mistakes, andset a clearer technical course for future remediation design and implementation.

UTILIZATION OF STABLE ISOTOPES INENVIRONMENTAL AND FORENSIC GEOCHEMISTRYSTUDIESPaul Philp, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK

Stable carbon and hydrogen isotopes have been used for many decades in thepetroleum industry but the development of combined gas chromatography-isotoperatio mass spectrometry (GCIRMS) has lead to a virtual explosion in applications of thistechnique not only in petroleum exploration but in the environmental and forensicgeochemical fields. This workshop will present an introduction to stable isotope geo-chemistry and discuss applications of stable isotopes to various environmentalproblems, including their potential for monitoring attenuation of volatile compoundssuch as PCE, MTBE, BTEX, etc. Topics to be covered will include an introduction to theconcept of stable isotopes, with particular attention to carbon and hydrogen. It is alsoproposed to review the current status of the utilization of other isotopes, such aschlorine, sulfur and nitrogen to various environmental problems. In addition to theapplications the various techniques used for determination of bulk isotope values willbe described along with the advantages and disadvantages of the GCIRMS approach.

In any environmental study, it is important to recognize the fact that the isotopiccomponent is only was part of the solution. The isotopic data should, whereverpossible, be integrated with analytical data derived from other commonly usedanalytical techniques, such as GC or GCMS, for the purpose of determining whetheror not contaminants are related to each other. This is particularly important where theremight be multiple sources potentially responsible for a particular spill and it isnecessary to see whether any of them were actually responsible for the spill. In caseswhere the contaminant has multiple components, and the GC and GCMS data are notparticularly useful for correlation purposes, relationships between source and productmight only be determined through the stable isotopes of individual compounds.GCIRMS is also extremely valuable for single component contaminants, such as MTBEor PCE, where GC and GCMS will be of little or no use for correlation purposes.

Most applications of stable isotopes to environmental problems have been limited tothe use of carbon, and to a lesser extent, hydrogen isotopes. However efforts are alsobeing used to introduce the use of chlorine isotopes as an additional tool formonitoring the chlorinated compounds. The approach is not as mature as the use ofcarbon and hydrogen isotopes but the methodology involved will be discussed alongwith problems associated with the use of chlorine isotopes.

Finally the use of the various fingerprinting techniques described above in monitoringattenuation at sites undergoing remediation will be discussed. The combined use of thestable isotopes, GC and GCMS can be extremely valuable tools monitoringremediation as well as determination of the onset of natural attenuation.


SENSORS: A NEW WAY TO COLLECTENVIRONMENTAL DATA FOR REGULATORYDECISION MAKING?Stuart J. Nagourney, NJ DEP, Trenton, NJ

A sensor is any device that collects environmental data for air, water or soil in situwithout the need to obtain a discrete sample. Sensors collect large amounts of data

WORKSHOPS

on a continuous basis over time, with the sensor often placed in one location. With avariety of new technologies that can acquire environmental data as simple as pH or ascomplex as metals, VOCs and PAHs in media ranging from air to soils, capability nowexists to collect vastly more information on the environment that traditional monitoringprotocols now obtain.

However, utilization of this type of technology raises as many questions as potentiallyanswers, among them are the following:

• Can the data quality provided by sensors be adequately assured?• Can State and Federal regulatory agencies handle such vast amounts of

information?• Do we need such volumes of data in all cases; if not, what are the best

situations to apply sensor technologies?

The Interstate Technology Regulatory Council (ITRC) is a state-led coalition workingtogether with industry and stakeholders to achieve regulatory acceptance of environ-mental technologies. ITRC consists of 49 states, the District of Columbia, multiplefederal partners, industry participants, and other stakeholders, cooperating to breakdown barriers and reduce compliance costs, making it easier to use new technologies,and helping states maximize resources. The ITRCs Sampling Monitoring andCharacterization Team is currently working with State regulatory agencies, The ArmyCorps of Engineers, EPA, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars andselected academics on this issue. The goal is to describe the range of sensor applica-tions, identify potential regulatory barriers to their use and suggest ways to incorporatesensors into current environmental monitoring regimes.

The status of ITRCs efforts in implementing sensor technologies, including researchcomparing sensors to traditional measurement technology systems, will be discussed.


THURSDAY, MARCH 13Workshops 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11

Workshop 6 (8:00 am – 12:00 pm)

UNDERSTANDING ETHANOL ISSUES ANDREMEDIATIONMatthew Small, U.S. EPA, San Francisco, CAJim Weaver, U.S. EPA, Athens, GABruce Bauman, American Petroleum Institute, Washington, DCMark Toso, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, St. Paul, MN

Domestic production and use of ethanol is predicted to double within the next severalyears from its current (2007 estimate) of over 6 billion gallons, and EPA is currentlydeveloping regulations to implement the Bush administration “20 in 10” initiative thatwould replace 20% of US gasoline (~30 billion gallons) with alternative fuels within10 years. Federal and some state regulations require the use of ethanol in gasoline, andcurrently about 50% of the gasoline blended in the US contains ethanol, usually at10% volume. E85 blends are already widely available in the Midwest and heavilypromoted by US auto makers. This broad-scale transition means that spill responsepersonnel will need to develop a thorough understanding of how releases of thesefuels might behave differently than gasoline without ethanol.

This workshop will begin with an overview of Ethanol regulation, legislation andresearch. Fuel mixtures and trends from around the U.S. will be discussed. Existingconceptual models for Ethanol fate and transport will be reviewed. Spill response andcorrective action approaches will be discussed along with effective ways to measureethanol and associated degradation products. Participants will calculate the increasedoxygen demand for various Ethanol blends and estimate methane production to helpevaluate remedial alternatives.


Workshop 7 (8:00 am – 12:00 pm)

IN-SITU CHEMICAL OXIDATION: RAISINGEFFICIENCY WHILE AVOIDING METALSMOBILIZATIONPhilip Block, FMC Corporation, Philadelphia, PAJim Wilson, GeoCleanse, Kenilworth, NJBob Kelley, Regenesis, Plainfield, ILWilliam B. Kerfoot, Kerfoot Technologies, Inc., Mashpee, MAKelly Frasco, Carus Chemical Company, Peru, IL

To provide up-to-date information on in-situ chemical oxidation, this workshopcombines vendor presentations with professional consultant experience. Majoroxidants to be considered are:

• Permanganate – MnO4¯• Ozone – O3• Fenton’s Reagent • Persulfate – S2O8

2 ¯• Percarbonate

In-situ chemical oxidation using ozone, Fenton’s Reagent, persulfate, permanganate,percarbonate or combinations can be an effective innovative technology for destroyingorganic contaminants within the ground water aquifer where they occur. Each oxidantrequires certain design considerations for proper application. This workshop will coverthe following topics:

• Oxidant chemistry principles• Available oxidants/compound stoichiometry• Oxidant selection/site evaluation• Laboratory bench-scale tests• Field pilot tests• Regulatory concerns• Case histories and time to closure• Health and safety guidance

Presentations will be made by vendors who supply equipment and consulting firmswith specific site experience. Case studies will be presented where design andoperational issues will be discussed.

Workshop 8 (8:00 am – 12:00 pm)

GEOCHEMICAL EVALUATIONS OF METALS INENVIRONMENTAL MEDIA: HOW TO DISTINGUISHNATURALLY ELEVATED METALS CONCENTRATIONSFROM SITE-RELATED CONTAMINATIONKaren Thorbjornsen, P.G., Shaw Environmental, Inc., Knoxville, TNJonathan Myers, Ph.D., Shaw Environmental, Inc., Albuquerque, NM

Do you really have metals contamination at your site? Metals concentrations in soil,sediment, groundwater, and surface water are problematic in site investigationsbecause they often exceed screening criteria. However, it is not always clear whetherthese concentrations represent site-related contamination or simply naturally high con-centrations. Geochemists and soil scientists have known for a long time that traceelements are naturally associated with a limited number of minerals in the soil andsediment matrix (or with specific suspended particulates in groundwater and surfacewater) under a given set of environmental conditions. For instance, in most toxic soilsand sediments, arsenic, selenium, and vanadium are almost exclusively associatedwith iron oxide minerals at fairly constant ratios. These associations, which are theresult of well-understood sorption processes, result in strong correlations betweentrace elements and the major elements present in the host minerals, as long as no con-tamination is present. Positive correlations and consistent elemental ratios areobserved in scatter plots of specific trace versus major elements in uncontaminatedsamples. Contaminated samples are identified by their positions off of the naturaltrend, indicating anomalously high trace-to-major elemental ratios. For groundwaterand surface water, additional factors are considered during the evaluations, such as pHeffects, redox effects, aqueous complexation, and salinity gradients.

This approach for evaluating metals has several advantages: it greatly reduces theprobability of falsely identifying contamination when it is not present; it does notrequire a large, statistically valid set of background samples; it precisely identifies con-taminated locations, thereby focusing remediation efforts; and it provides mechanistic

explanations for naturally elevated trace element concentrations, which a purelystatistical approach cannot provide.

The geochemical evaluation techniques presented in the short course allow an inves-tigator to distinguish between natural metals concentrations and potential contamina-tion, without performing geochemical modeling, acquiring additional analytical databeyond that obtained in the course of a typical investigation, or adding significantly tothe overall project cost. The instructors have successfully applied these techniques atover 40 commercial and military facilities (incorporating hundreds of discrete investi-gation sites) across the U.S., its territories, and Mexico for the past 9 years. Theseevaluations provide insightful case studies for the short course.

TWO-PHASE EXTRACTION METHODS:APPLICATIONS AND ENHANCEMENTS FORGROUNDWATER AND SOIL REMEDIATIONMehmet Pehlivan, PG, CHG, Leighton Consulting, Inc, Irvine, CAJames A. Jacobs, PG, CHG, Environmental Bio Systems, Mill Valley, CA

This in-situ remediation workshop is intended for project managers, consultants,geologists, hydrogeologists, engineers, and industry, agency, and government repre-sentatives who perform or evaluate different clean up techniques. Attendees will gainan understanding of how two-phase and multiphase extraction can be applied in thefield, as a stand alone remediation method or in combination with chemical oxidation,surfactant flushing, pH adjustment, metals stabilization, and bioremediation.Participants will be able to make intelligent decisions in selecting remediation alter-natives related to two-phase extraction and will understand how vacuum-assistedextraction methods work in subsurface.

The course will begin with a brief discussion of two-phase extraction; a fundamentaldescription of two-phase flow application in groundwater remediation; an overview ofthe differences between two-phase extraction, multiphase extraction, dual-phaseextraction, soil vapor extraction, and bioventing; information on using two-phaseextraction to supplement bioremediation, chemical oxidation, or other in-situremediation methods; discussion of a display model of two-phase extraction wells;and a presentation on water and vapor-flow characteristics in the well during two-phase extraction. In subsequent segments the course will cover comparativeevaluation of nonproprietary and proprietary two-phase methods, VOC stripping, andpilot-test design and implementation of two-phase extraction. Information will beprovided on available equipment (blowers, vapor treatment unit, water-polishing units)and related costs and on data collection and analysis. The ability to predict theextraction efficiency of specific contaminants (e.g., MTBE, BTEX) is important to thedesign but is complicated due to characteristics of two-phase flow friction losses, anduncertainty related to subsurface characteristics. A literature review will be presentedon available methods and their abilities and limitations to correlate mass transfer effi-ciencies during two-phase extraction. Case studies will be presented on several sitescontaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons including MTBE, chlorinated hydrocar-bons, and/or LNAPL and encompassing a variety of lithological units. A cost discussionof two-phase extraction as a stand-alone remedial technology or as a supplement tochemical oxidation or other in situ methods will be presented. The optimal range foreach of those technologies will be discussed in terms of site characteristics,contaminant properties, contaminant concentrations, and clean-up goals. Attendeesare encouraged to bring their project information for discussion of the viability of atwo-phase extraction pilot test.

Workshop 10 (9:00 am – 12:00 pm)

CLASSIC AND EMERGING TECHNIQUES INENVIRONMENTAL FORENSICSI.G. Petrisor, Haley & Aldrich, Costa Mesa, CAJulie K. Sueker, Blasland, Bouck & Lee, Inc., Golden, COHelder Costa, Haley & Aldrich, Inc., Boston, MAMichael J. Wade, Wade Research, Inc., Marshfield, MAJean Christophe Balouet, Environmental International, Le Perreux-sur-Marne, France

In the emerging field of Environmental Forensics, information and techniques from avariety of unrelated scientific disciplines are usually required to establish pollutionsources/age and finally allocate and manage site liabilities. The current workshop willpresent the general principles of environmental forensic investigations focusing onseveral classic and emerging techniques with high potential in forensics investigations(theory and applications). New advancements in such methods illustrated bysuccessful case studies will be included.

Techniques based on chemical fingerprinting and those based on isotopic (stableand/or radioactive) analyses could be considered classic as they have proven perfor-mances in forensics investigations. Several case studies, involving PAHs andchlorinated solvents contamination, where chemical fingerprinting and isotopicanalyses were efficiently applied for tracking contamination to finally manageliabilities, will be discussed. An analytical testing approach will be described for inves-tigation of a release of new jet fuel suspected of mixing into a jet fuel releasedocumented to have occurred 10 years previous. Newly-developed chemical indiceswere calculated to determine the degree of similarity among samples analyzed.

Emerging forensics techniques that may use recent advances in molecular microbiol-ogy for reconstructing contaminant release events will be pointed out. Data fromsuccessful applications of microbiological emerging techniques in both criminalforensics and environmental site assessment will be discussed emphasizing futureapplication opportunities.

Another emerging forensic technique that will be discussed is dendroecology or theuse of tree rings to age-date environmental contamination. Dendroecology is a uniquemethod to age date contamination events (with precision to the year), characterizecontaminated plumes, measure plume transfer rates, establish spatial-temporal plumemapping. Dendroecology it is also the only method available today that allow todistinguish multiple releases. It is also cost-effective without the use of expensivedrilling. Several recent forensic investigations in which dendroecology was success-fully used to track chlorinated solvents and different petroleum products will bepresented.

Workshop 11 (8:30 am – 5:00 pm)

SPECIALTY SEMINAR ON USEPA/ITRCVAPOR INTRUSION GUIDANCE UPDATE

This special workshop will be an all-day seminar consistent with and similar in formatto previous workshops held at the AEHS Conferences in San Diego, CA since 2004.The USEPA has proposed integrating the OSWER guidance (2002) with the morerecent ITRC (2007) practical guide. The Agency is also supplementing this guidancewith technical papers on relevant vapor intrusion related topics and data gatheredsince 2002. This approach will be the subject of a comment period for regulators, andactive VI workgroup members, prior to the public comment period. This Seminar willprovide regulators and involved stakeholders with an opportunity to hear summariesof this approach and to provide comments concurrently with feedback from a panelof experts. The seminar will begin with a presentation on how the USEPA (2002)guidance can be used within the more recent framework set forth in the ITRC’spractical guide (2007). The USEPA and ITRC will present together on this integratedapproach and provide some hypothetical case examples. Additional topics willinclude presentations on (1) the updated contents of the USEPA indoor air vaporintrusion database describing how this data is documented, formatted and used by VIsite investigators; and (2) a summary of the Agency’s compilation of indoor air“background” values. The seminar will conclude with an expert panel addressing anddiscussing comments provided by regulators, the public, and other meeting attendees.


Posters may be viewed throughout the day on Tuesday, March 11th and Wednesday, March 12th. Authors will be available for individual discussion attheir posters from 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm on their assigned day. Please refer to the schedule below.

TheAssociation for EnvironmentalHealth and SciencesThe Association for Environmental Healthand Sciences was created to facilitatecommunication and foster cooperationamong professionals concerned with thechallenge of environmental protection andcleanup.
