WELCOME

Dear Conference Attendee,

Welcome to the 22nd Annual International Conference on Soil, Water, Energy, and Air. The conference, which had its beginnings in petroleum contaminated soils supported by a few interested parties when it first began in 1990, has evolved to encompass a broad range of important contaminants in different media. It has drawn interest from around the world and has been supported by an impressive array of dedicated professionals serving on the Scientific Advisory Board and from other organizations who have provided the necessary resources. Appreciation goes out to the many Sponsors and Supporters who have generously contributed to our conferences throughout the years.

In 2010 the AEHS Foundation assumed the conduct of the Annual International Conference on Soils, Sediments, Water, and Energy held every Fall on the campus of the University of Massachusetts. Last October’s conference, the 27th Annual, was a tremendous success and we invite you to consider joining us next October in Amherst. Between the West Coast and East Coast conferences, the Foundation will reach over 1200 environmental professionals annually! You will continue to see subtle changes as the two conferences co-evolve taking on the best aspects of each.

We are very excited about the Foundation’s new online education program. The Foundation launched its first course in September 2010 and has offered new courses each semester. We will continue to expand course offerings and distribute CEUs and certificates upon completion. Check our website for new course offerings and schedules.

Attendees who registered for the West Coast Conference before March 1st had the opportunity to become a member of the AEHS Foundation for the current calendar year. Members receive the International Journal of Phytoremediation, Human & Ecological Risk Assessment, or Soil and Sediment Contamination as a primary journal (as selected on your registration form). Please note that you have the option to add either or both of the other journals for a fee of $65/additional journal/year. Members will automatically receive hard copies of their journal(s) and online access (including access to back issues). Please see the Foundation website (www.aehsfoundation.org) or contact the office for details.

The AEHS Foundation is pleased to announce the continuation of the International Society of Environmental Forensics (ISEF) whose mission is to provide an international forum dedicated to the consolidation and exchange of information related to environmental forensics. The Foundation and ISEF have presented fourteen highly successful workshops on environmental forensics over the past ten years. Members of ISEF receive the journal, Environmental Forensics, discounts to ISEF workshops, and other unique benefits. Please check our website for membership information and future workshop postings.

The Foundation and Society are committed to serving its membership and providing an essential forum for ideas, discussion, and debate as well as solutions to a wide array of environmental problems. I hope you find that this year's conference is one of the ways we fulfill this goal.

Sincerely,

Paul Kostecki, Ph.D. President

March 19, 2012 MONDAYWorkshop 7 8:30am – 5:00pm, Pavilion Recent Advances to VI Application & Implementation: A State-of-the Science Update

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Offices of Research and Development (ORD) and Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) continue to collaborate on providing technical assistance and support to EPA regional offices, other federal agencies, state regulators, and other interested parties who are managing risks associated with indoor air vapor intrusion

(VI) from contaminated subsurface sources. This support comes from research studies, demonstration projects, field studies, commercial cleanups, and data analyses. In addition, EPA is in the process of developing new national guidance for addressing VI sites. As part of their effort to keep the public informed of these developments, EPA will hold a one-day workshop on updates to the developing federal guidance including technical papers and the latest findings from intensively studied research sites.

The first workshop session will describe and discuss components of the developing federal guidance, including the Conceptual Model Scenarios paper, the VI Database paper, and the Lessons from Radon Studies paper. The next session will focus on the latest research observations from intensively studied homes and larger buildings by ORD and other research programs. Research at these sites is providing additional understanding on how VI can vary over time, across a specific site, and within buildings, and has collected new information on how radon and chemical VI are similar or different within a specific building scenario. This will be followed by a discussion of the state of the science on VI mitigation, including green mitigation options, monitoring, and the evolving understanding of mitigation system costs, performance, and benefits. The workshop will conclude with an overview of the status of the developing guidance and an in-depth panel discussion on the latest challenges faced in vapor intrusion, and will include time for audience feedback and questions for the panel.

Admissibility of Scientific Evidence in CourtIoana G. Petrisor, Ph.D., Cardno ENTRIX, Los Angeles, CA Kevin C. Mayer, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, Los Angeles, CA Jeffrey L. Caufield, Esq, Caufield & James LLP, San Diego, CA

There is an increasing emphasis on civil litigation, particularly in the environmental and toxic tort arenas, as states, municipalities and private attorneys general seek additional sources of revenue from parties potentially responsible for soils, groundwater, surface water and air pollution. Such litigation places extraordinary importance on the development and admissibility of expert opinion testimony in the presentation of complex scientific issues to the court and jury. Over the years, a variety of mechanisms, in both state and federal courts, have emerged by which a party can often successfully challenge the admissibility of, or place limitations on, the opponent’s expert witness testimony. The workshop will include a “Mock Trial” which will demonstrate “live” how experts can be cross-examined and attacked related to their foundation. Following the Mock trial, the mechanisms for challenging admissibility, referred to here as the “Eight Gates of Expert Testimony,” will be explained and applied in the context of environmental contamination and toxic tort litigation. From a scientific perspective, the focus will be on the legal vulnerability of various types of scientific evidence, each of which may be challenged in court. In this context, a good understanding of both the legal basis for potential exclusion of scientific evidence and of various factors establishing reliable methods provides the key to successful admission of the evidence in the court.
