GENERAL INFORMATION The Bioremediation Symposium is a forum for sharing research results, practical experiences, and opportunities associated with advances in bioremediation and sustainable remediation. Designed for and presented by scientists, engineers, regulators, remediation site owners, constructors, and other environmental professionals representing universities, government agencies, consultants, and R&D and service firms from around the world, the 2019 Symposium technical program will present information on the development, implementation, use, and results of advanced tools for assessment and monitoring, as well as the challenges of applying bioremediation at various types of complex sites. Several sessions will focus on treatment technologies for emerging contaminants, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). 4

Panel Discussion—Tuesday, Track A
How Are We Going to Effectively Manage PFAS Risks and Liability?
Moderator
Dave Woodward (Wood)
Panelists
TBD
Discovery of emerging contaminants at already established remediation sites can have a significant impact on the
schedule, cost, and effectiveness of ongoing remedial programs. Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are
particularly challenging and not like other emerging contaminants we’ve dealt with before for several reasons. Their
widespread use, high solubility and lack of biological attenuation make them a much more challenging problem to
address. Social media has also only served to exacerbate public concerns associated with PFAS impacts. Limited,
inconsistent, and rapidly changing promulgated health criteria also contributes to the challenge in managing PFAS.
This panel will assemble a diverse group of panelists, who have varying perspectives and potentially opposing
viewpoints related to the overall management of PFAS and their impact on public health, the environment, and our
remediation industry. Following a brief introduction from the moderator, each panel member will present key factors
they believe will allow us to balance PFAS risks against the significant potential PFAS financial liabilities. Several
specific questions will be developed and provided to the panelists in advance.
