Impact/Purpose:
Presentation to be given at the Community Engagement Meeting in Fayetteville, North Carolina. EPA’s Remediation Research Activities…Wastewater Treatment PFAS treatment in model wastewater treatment reactors Evaluating PFOS fate during activated sludge treatment PFAS in wastewater residuals and effluent Evaluating nine wastewater treatment facilities for treatment of PFAS (+ CECs) Fate of PFAS during land application of biosolids Evaluating the fate of common wastewater related contaminants including PFAS PFAS occurrence and fate during direct potable reuse (DPR) Evaluating the fate of PFAS (+ CECs) during wastewater treatment plants in three DPR facilities PFAS from source water to drinking water Evaluating the impact of wastewater treatment on downstream drinking water treatment including PFAS (+ CECs). Occurrence and impacts of PFAS in complex mixtures: Emerging Contaminants in Surface Waters : Evaluating 40 impacted surface water bodies to evaluate complex mixtures of CECs, including PFAS Collaboration with USGS Emerging Contaminants in the Great Lakes and their impacts on wildlife Evaluating forensic approach for source allocation or identification Evaluating passive sampling approaches Includes bioassays and adverse outcome pathway related studies Collaboration with GLNPO (GLRI), USFW, USGS, USACE, NOAA, and academia PFAS along the Ohio River Evaluating PFAS in the Ohio River Anticipated to start in Spring 2019 to capture low- and high-flow events Collaboration with ORSANCO.
