• Put Biosolids Contaminated with PFAS in Context – Learn about the history of biosolids use, the role EPA plays in their promotion as a soil nutrient and stabilizer, and what’s known and not known about them. And, why that makes you vulnerable.
• Understand the Federal Regulatory Environment – The webinar will cover federal laws and regulations affecting both current and legacy biosolids uses, explain the potential role and practical implications of the draft Biosolids Risk Assessment now under review by the Trump Administration, summarize the status and likely outcomes of pending legal challenges involving EPA, manufacturers, wastewater treatment facilities, transporters, and land appliers, and discuss how the designation of PFOA and PFOS as Superfund hazardous substances are expected to impact liability, site investigations, and remediation.
• Navigate the Patchwork of State Biosolids Regulations – With more and more states enacting their own biosolids laws from outright land and product bans to a focus on controlling the upstream sources of PFAS in wastewater in permits, what do you need to know and how should you prepare for potential public and media reputational threats.

In this webinar we were pleased to have special guest speaker Mary Gade, President of Gade Environmental Group LLC and former Region V Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Director of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. Her presentation discussed navigating PFAS regulatory challenges surrounding biosolids at the federal and state levels.
