Registration open for the Remediation and Risk Management Webinar Series
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), in partnership with the American Institute of Professional Geologists and the Michigan Association of Environmental Professionals, is excited to launch the new Remediation and Risk Management Webinar Series. This webinar series is dedicated to helping environmental professionals stay informed about issues and trends that affect remediation and risk management efforts. Each month, EGLE will host a 1-hour webinar that will tackle a topic of interest to environmental professionals and others interested in environmental remediation and risk management.
Each webinar will include a presentation by a diverse selection of environmental professionals and allow time for questions from attendees. Information on the first two webinars in the series is listed below. Recordings of each webinar will be available on the Series webpage. More webinars will be added throughout the year. Registration is available at Michigan.gov/EGLEevents.

Upcoming webinars in the series
January 27, 12:00 - 1:00 PM EST
Conceptual site models (CSMs) are a written or pictorial representation of an environmental system and the biological, physical, and chemical processes that determine the transport of contaminants from sources through the environmental media to environmental receptors within the system. Learn what this means from a regulator's perspective and how CSMs play a role in the review of compliance submittals. The webinar will review CSM basics, as well as information and tools that may be available for CSM construction. Every contaminated site has a story to tell, so know your audience and write a great script.
February 25, 12:00 - 1:00 PM EST
Part 1: PFAS Sampling: Results of a Cross-Contamination Study
Can per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) be transferred from common products used during sampling? There is the potential for PFAS to be present in many products that are routinely used in the environmental field. This presentation will show the results of a study performed investigating the potential for cross-contamination from a number of commonly used products. Knowing the types of PFAS that may leach off of a particular sampling material may also be helpful in the forensic evaluation of sample data. Analytical results will be presented along with experimental observations and recommendations.
Part 2: Effects of Variable Analytical Parameter Suites on the Identification of PFAS Sources
Evaluation of the relative composition of individual PFAS compounds in surface water and groundwater samples can be an effective method to identify the source(s) of PFAS in these media. The list of PFAS compounds that laboratories are able to detect and the list of analytes required by various regulatory agencies continues to expand. As a result, the number of compounds that can be used to “fingerprint” samples is variable with time and with location. Attendees will learn about the efficacy and limitations of using PFAS analytes as fingerprints for source identification and delineation.
Each webinar qualifies for 1 CEH/PDH.
Additional webinars coming soon.
