MAWEA Quarterly Meeting – PFAS March 18, 2021 10 AM to 12:30 PM
The MA DEP has started a conversation with stakeholders on establishing limits for wastewater biosolids / sludge. The first call was in September 2020 and the next call is to be scheduled. New NPDES permits include PFAS testing for wastewater influent, effluent, and biosolids. Acceptance Of Suitability (AOS) land appliers of biosolid products are already testing for PFAS compounds. PFAS have been found in some biosolids. If PFAS are present in household sewage or industrial wastewater, they can make their way to the wastewater treatment plant. From there they can concentrate during the production of biosolids / sludge. Some biosolids have been sampled across the United States for PFAS. Limits on PFAS compounds in biosolids will have a profound impact on how biosolids / sludge will be disposed of in the future and will directly or indirectly affect your facility. The best way to be prepared for these changes is to be informed.
MAWEA is pleased to announce PFAS IN Wastewater Training on March 18, 2021 from 10 AM to 12:30 PM 2.5 TCH’s will be given for attendance
