ObjectiveThis presentation will provide a discussion on sustainability in groundwater remediation, from environmental, economical, and social angles.
DescriptionConventional environmental groundwater remediation methods usually include physical means to clean up contamination sources, such as excavation, pump, extraction, bury, and burn. Coming into 21st century, the remediation industry starts to emphasize sustainability in site cleanup, which requires consideration of lower use of resources and energy (e.g., lower emission) and resource conservation. In a design of site remediation, the factors such as energy, resources, climate change, green technology, safety and risk evaluation, cost benefit, and public acceptance may be considered. Sustainability is evaluated based on environmental, economic, and social considerations. This presentation will evaluate first cost analysis using case study in Los Angeles Region, which used 179 closed cases of active remediation since 2012. The average cost of cleanup with all methods is about $887,438 per site. Cost for individual remedial method such as soil vapor extraction is also analyzed. For example, cost for average soil vapor extraction is about $926,173 per site, which is higher than the average cost per site. The presentation also discusses the relationship between the cleanup goal and sustainability. Some individual site remedial methods, including soil excavation, groundwater pump and treat, soil vapor extraction, thermal enhancement, dual-phase extraction and air sparging, vapor barrier installation, chemical and biological in-situ treatment, monitoring natural attenuation, and phytoremediation, are also evaluated per the perspective of sustainability.

ObjectiveTo cover Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) for storage tanks: Should I use it? Will the regulations accept it? What can go wrong? What are the pros and cons? Can I trust it?
DescriptionThe concept of Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) was popularized by API 580 & 581. The complex requirements make RBI implementation opaque, hard to understand and audit for compliance. The talk will cover the history & background, what the industry feedback is, conditions under which it should be allowed, and basic guidelines to validate the methodology for applying RBI to tanks.

ObjectiveAttendees will learn the current state of CERS Data Transfer (EDT) and explore the value and potential of moving to real-time communications.
DescriptionMost CUPAs use CERS EDT to download submittals and to upload inspections/violations (CME). For these CUPAs, the exercise is typically done once a day or once a week. In some cases, it's on-demand. These were the standards and expectations established when CERS was first built. In fact, the technology would also allow for real-time transfer, meaning that new inspections would be posted immediately. New submittals would arrive upon submission.
