Minnesota’s PFAS Megaplume(s): Lessons Learned From 15 Years Investigating and Addressing Legacy PFAS Waste Sites

On-Demand Webinar Recording

Virginia Yingling is  a senior hydrogeologist for the Minnesota Department of Health and will  discuss the work she and others have done since 2003 to investigate  four legacy PFAS waste disposal sites that have contaminated over 160  square miles of groundwater (that’s American for over 400 km²).   She will also discuss their efforts to remediate the PFAS source areas  and address the contaminated drinking water of over 140,000 residents.   This session will help you to understand how the unique chemical and  physical properties of PFAS affect their environmental fate and  transport, which can result in widespread surface water and groundwater  contamination and complicate their remediation.
