[EXTERNAL]: Contaminated Site Remediation & Redevelopment Program's PFAS Interim Soil Standards Training

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's (NJDEP's) Contaminated Site Remediation & Redevelopment Program (CSRRP) will be providing detailed training on the release of interim remediation standards for soil and soil leachate for perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid and its ammonium salt (GenX) in accordance with the Remediation Standards at N.J.A.C. 7:26D-6.

The training will be held on Thursday, November 10, 2022 from 9:00 AM to 11:30 am online only via GoToWebinar (see registration details below). The training will cover the development of the standards as well as the use of calculators to generate AOC/site-specific standards for PFAS.
