Keeping Pace^® with Analytical Services

Recently, I had the pleasure of hosting our most recent PFAS Webinar: Biosolids Analysis for PFAS: Challenges, Considerations, and Options. This webinar featured Paul Jackson, Pace® Environmental Compliance and Emerging Contaminants Program Manager, and Nick Nigro, Pace® PFAS Product Manager. The webinar was viewed by hundreds of attendees who asked some insightful questions, both at the end and offline. In this post, I’ll overview what Paul and Nick discussed and recap some of the highlights that might be most useful to our Pace® clients. 

On September 17, EPA issued a press release that included, among other things, an update on the liability issues regarding passive receivers. Since this issue impacts many of our clients, I’ve been getting calls and questions, asking for my perspectives. Now that several weeks have passed, I’ve had time to consider the matter and wanted to provide some encouragement for those clients that qualify as passive receivers of PFAS.

The U.S. EPA recently proposed an Information Collection Rule (ICR) focused on PFAS in wastewater influent, effluent, and biosolids. This post will cover the critical highlights for Pace® customers. For a deeper dive, you can watch the webinar on-demand.
