Webcast 5. IDDE: From Detection to Prevention - Tracking Illicit Discharges

Speakers:
Kimberly Buss, Senior Environmental Resources Specialist, OC Stormwater Compliance
Managing an IDDE program that covers 950 square miles of urbanized Southern California landscape with a population of more than 3 million people is a challenge, especially when you have a network of 400 miles of regional flood control channel and 42 miles of coastline to protect. The Orange County Public Works (OCPW) IDDE team relies on teamwork and partnerships with local, state, and federal agencies to help prevent, detect, track, and respond to illicit discharges in Orange County, CA. This talk will cover how training and coordination on a regional scale helps minimize environmental impact when larger spills and releases occur. Attendees will learn how the sharing of data and information, and the use of technology, assist with the prevention, detection, and response to illicit discharges.

This presentation will provide a road map of steps to take before deciding on a specific course of action and technology to be employed for PFAS management. We will explore the various commercialized technologies, and their pros and cons. We will then delve deeper into the various media that may be employed for PFAS management, the relative media costs under different conditions, and disposal options. This will allow a stakeholder to build a PFAS treatment system effectively, economically, and most of all safely, while remaining compliant with these new regulations.
