Wednesday March 10 2021 (100 PM EST)Effective Stormwater BMP Operation and Maintenance for Permit Compliance
REGISTER
Sujit Ekka is the National Municipal Stormwater Leader in AECOMrsquos Environment Business Line Sujit plays a key role in management and delivery of multi-million-dollar multi-disciplinary stormwater and water resources engineering projects Sujit brings a breadth of experience in evaluation design construction inspection and maintenance of traditional stormwater control measures aka BMPs and innovative green stormwater infrastructure practices He is passionate about proper operation and maintenance of stormwater BMP assets for improving water quality reducing life-cycle costs and maintaining permit compliance Sujit is a registered Professional Hydrologist and a Licensed Professional Engineer in Virginia and North Carolina
OUR SPEAKER SUJIT A EKKA PE PH
NPDES Permits often require Stormwater Control Measures (or BMPs) for treating post-construction stormwater runoff from urban development sites Permittees include both public and private entities BMP construction often requires a significant capital investment on the part of the owner If not inspected and maintained properly these devices can cease functioning resulting in significant rehabilitation and restoration costs to bring devices back into compliance With growing emphasis on urban stormwater management regulatory agencies are requiring permittees to properly inspect and maintain their stormwater treatment devices as well as comprehensively document the associated activities and process The AECOM team has assisted private industry Federal Government State Departments of Transportation and municipalities with effective program development inspection operation and maintenance of these critical stormwater assets

Wednesday March 17 2021 (1100 AM EST)PRISMreg (PRedictive Integrated Stratigraphic Modeling)
REGISTER
JUNAID SADEQUE PHD Dr Junaid Sadeque is a recognized subject matter expert in sequence stratigraphy and sedimentology As a Senior Geologist at AECOM he plays a pivotal role in applying sequence stratigraphic concepts for predicting contamination flow paths and developing CSMs Over the past 10 years he has taught numerous professional courses in applied sequence stratigraphy both locally and internationally His strong background of previously working for the oil sector helps him bring in fresh and cutting-edge concepts of geology to the environmental world
RYAN SAMUELS Ryan Samuelsrsquo education and career have focused on extrapolating sedimentological and stratigraphic information from cores and well-logs for sequence stratigraphic analysis Prior to joining AECOM he was in the petroleum industry conducting sequence stratigraphic analysis in the Denver Basin Powder River Basin and Gulf of Mexico Now as a lead stratigrapher at AECOM he is successfully applying his technical skills to develop comprehensive integrated Conceptual Site Models and guide the design of cost-effective remedial strategies
OUR SPEAKERS JUNAID SADEQUE PHD amp RYAN SAMUELS
Predictive Integrated Stratigraphic Modeling (PRISMreg) is an innovative state-of-the-art methodology that provides a detailed understanding of the subsurface geology to better predict the fate and transport of contaminants at complex sites Unlike traditional methods of subsurface investigation which often fail to properly address the subsurface heterogeneity PRISMreg leverages Environmental Sequence Stratigraphy (ESS) and other best practices in geology and geophysics to create detailed cross sections of sediment layering that are consistent with known depositional patterns These cross sections are then combined with hydrology and chemistry data to build fully integrated comprehensive CSMs that can be used to develop more effective investigative and remedial strategies

OUR SPEAKERS JOSH COLLINS AECOM PETER BRUSSOCK PHD PWS CP THE ELM GROUP INC
Corrective actions at complex sediment sites are often mired in decades long characterization design and regulatory review processes that are inefficient frustrating and delay the implementation of the selected remedy Establishing an adaptive management remedial framework at a site can often expedite remedy implementation allow for optimization of
the remedial approach and reduce overall program cost This webinar will provide a high-level overview of what an adaptive management framework looks like at a sediment site touch on the regulatory communityrsquos interest in adaptive managementearly action and present two case studies where it is currently being successfully implemented

Tuesday March 30 2021 (100 PM EST)Indoor Air Measurements at Large Industrial Buildings ndash VI Attenuation Factors and Seasonal Variability
REGISTER
Mr Eklund is the Director of the Air Quality Practice in the Americas and the Global Practice Leader for Vapor Intrusion at AECOM He has a BS in Chemistry and 42 years of experience
Mr Eklund is the author of approximately 20 journal articles 30 US government publications and 50 peer-reviewed papers in conference proceedings He has served as a testifying expert in US State and Federal Court as well as for permit hearings enforcement actions and international arbitration proceedings
OUR SPEAKER BART EKLUND
Two questions of frequent interest for vapor intrusion studies are 1) what attenuation factor is reasonable to assume for large industrial buildings and 2) how many rounds of testing are needed to adequately characterize sub-slab soil gas An on-going investigation at a major industrial facility in the Midwestern US provides insights to these questions which will be presented in this webinar The testing has been underway for approximately five years Paired sub-slab and indoor air data have been collected at over 700 unique
locations across 77 buildings Over 1600 sample pairs have been analyzed for 65 target analytes resulting in a data set of over 100000 data pairs Various volatile chlorinated compounds were detected in the sub-slab samples (eg PCE TCE CFC-12) For each sampling event at each building a building-specific attenuation factor (α) was developed Results are presented for 166 building-specific attenuation factors generated to date

Across Canada and the US many large infrastructure project teams rightly consider public and Indigenous concerns but if not done well it can sometimes lengthen the overall project timeline AECOMrsquos Social Strategy process is designed to help stakeholders and clients understand the balance between social environmental and economic considerations thereby clarifying choices and leading to enhanced social consent
The growing push for businesses to demonstrate their commitment to environment social and governance (ESG) principles increases the importance of achieving social consent Our experts discuss how a successful ESG process increases the certainty of project implementation improves relationships with regulators and affected communities and leads to reduced cost and risk

Tuesday March 30 2021 (100 PM EST)Indoor Air Measurements at Large Industrial Buildings ndash VI Attenuation Factors and Seasonal Variability
REGISTER
Mr Eklund is the Director of the Air Quality Practice in the Americas and the Global Practice Leader for Vapor Intrusion at AECOM He has a BS in Chemistry and 42 years of experience
Mr Eklund is the author of approximately 20 journal articles 30 US government publications and 50 peer-reviewed papers in conference proceedings He has served as a testifying expert in US State and Federal Court as well as for permit hearings enforcement actions and international arbitration proceedings
OUR SPEAKER BART EKLUND
Two questions of frequent interest for vapor intrusion studies are 1) what attenuation factor is reasonable to assume for large industrial buildings and 2) how many rounds of testing are needed to adequately characterize sub-slab soil gas An on-going investigation at a major industrial facility in the Midwestern US provides insights to these questions which will be presented in this webinar The testing has been underway for approximately five years Paired sub-slab and indoor air data have been collected at over 700 unique
locations across 77 buildings Over 1600 sample pairs have been analyzed for 65 target analytes resulting in a data set of over 100000 data pairs Various volatile chlorinated compounds were detected in the sub-slab samples (eg PCE TCE CFC-12) For each sampling event at each building a building-specific attenuation factor (α) was developed Results are presented for 166 building-specific attenuation factors generated to date

Across Canada and the US many large infrastructure project teams rightly consider public and Indigenous concerns but if not done well it can sometimes lengthen the overall project timeline AECOMrsquos Social Strategy process is designed to help stakeholders and clients understand the balance between social environmental and economic considerations thereby clarifying choices and leading to enhanced social consent
The growing push for businesses to demonstrate their commitment to environment social and governance (ESG) principles increases the importance of achieving social consent Our experts discuss how a successful ESG process increases the certainty of project implementation improves relationships with regulators and affected communities and leads to reduced cost and risk
