Are you a water utility manager, operator, or environmental professional struggling to navigate the complex landscape of PFAS contamination. "PFAS Management, Sampling, and Treatment for Small Water Systems" is a comprehensive online course designed specifically to equip you with the essential knowledge and practical tools needed to safeguard your community's water supply.

Are you a water utility manager, operator, or environmental professional struggling to navigate the complex landscape of PFAS contamination? "PFAS Management, Sampling, and Treatment for Small Water Systems" is a comprehensive online course designed specifically to equip you with the essential knowledge and practical tools needed to safeguard your community's water supply. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often known as "forever chemicals," present a unique and pressing challenge for small water systems. With the EPA's latest National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) guidelines coming into effect, staying compliant is more critical than ever.

This in-depth course takes you from the foundational chemistry of PFAS to advanced treatment and mitigation strategies. You will explore the sources and occurrence of PFAS, understanding how these persistent chemicals enter and move through groundwater systems. We will dive into hydrogeologic fundamentals and geochemical controls to give you a clear picture of PFAS fate and transport. Furthermore, the course offers actionable insights into well design, Vertical Aquifer Profiling (VAP), and optimization strategies, including the strategic blending of water sources.

You will also gain a thorough understanding of the "Big Three" treatment technologies: Granular Activated Carbon (GAC), Ion Exchange (IX), and Reverse Osmosis/Nanofiltration (RO/NF). Using our fit-for-purpose matrix, you'll learn how to select the most cost-effective and efficient treatment for your specific system. Finally, master the strict sampling protocols, QA/QC essentials, and compliance timelines required to meet EPA standards. Enroll today to secure your water system's future against PFAS contamination.

            <p>Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) present a complex and rapidly evolving challenge for water utilities across the United States. For small water system operators and managers, navigating the intricacies of PFAS chemistry, identifying environmental sources, and understanding the mechanisms of fate and transport in groundwater are critical steps in safeguarding public health. Furthermore, recent updates to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) mandate strict compliance timelines and stringent Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs). This necessitates a comprehensive understanding of both the regulatory framework and the hydrogeologic fundamentals that dictate how these persistent compounds migrate into and through local aquifers.</p>

<p>To address these operational and regulatory demands, this curriculum provides a rigorous, step-by-step approach to PFAS management tailored specifically for the constraints and capabilities of small water systems. The course explores strategic well design and optimization techniques, including Vertical Aquifer Profiling (VAP) and the strategic blending of water sources, to effectively mitigate contaminant concentrations. Additionally, operators and managers will receive an in-depth comparative analysis of primary treatment technologies—such as Granular Activated Carbon (GAC), Ion Exchange (IX), and Reverse Osmosis/Nanofiltration (RO/NF)—utilizing a fit-for-purpose matrix to guide appropriate technology selection. By concluding with stringent sampling protocols, quality assurance measures, and a clear implementation roadmap, this program equips utility professionals with the technical expertise required to achieve and maintain full regulatory compliance.</p>
