WELCOME FROM THE A&WMA PRESIDENT

Chris Nelson 2018 A&WMA President

Gale F. Hoffnagle, CCCM, QEPTRC Environmental Corporation ACE General Chair

Lee D. Hoffman, Esq.Pullman & Comley LLC ACE Co-Chair and Technical Program Vice Chair

Welcome from the Conference Chairs It’s been 43 years since the Annual Conference & Exhibition was held in New England so we are especially glad to welcome you. We expect that you will have a wonderful time here because there are so many things to do and see in the area. We hope that you have planned that special New England vacation that you dreamed of around the conference. Please enjoy our Science Center which is directly across from the Connecticut Convention Center. Enjoy all the tastes of Hartford that are within easy walking distance or catch the Dash bus to get around easily. Don’t forget the Hartford Yardgoats baseball team which will be playing nearby all four nights of the conference.

We know you will have an exceptional knowledge experience at the conference this year with the EPA Assistant Administrators in the plenary session, the New England Commissioners and Air Directors in two of our panels, plus sessions, courses, the exhibit, and so many other opportunities to learn, share and grow this week.

We hope to see you and say hello in person.

Welcome to the A&WMA Annual Conference & Exhibition in Hartford!

I’m excited you chose to join us for our Association’s largest annual event. The Annual Conference & Exhibition (ACE) is our chance to (re)connect with colleagues, learn from topical experts, and see the latest technology in the Exhibition Hall. You can also take a deep dive into transportation issues at the Critical Review or attend a networking event to meet new colleagues. If you’re looking for the hot spot for dinner or drinks, track down a local host committee member, A&WMA Board or Council leader, and ask what is happening that night. The ACE is large and busy but we want everyone to feel like they are connected and fully engaged.

Our Association’s Core Purpose is to improve environmental knowledge and decisions by providing a neutral forum for exchanging information. You are at ground zero for the effort this week. Take the opportunity to listen with other members and attendees from different geographies, organizations, and specialties. Start a conversation on a critical issue and see where we agree and where we need to work for compromise and win-win solutions. Close a business deal or learn about an innovative technology or make a new friend. At the end of the week, if you have any great stories from Hartford (or any past ACE events!), please send them to me. I always love a good A&WMA anecdote. Thanks for attending the Hartford ACE and for your contributions to A&WMA.

Over the last hundred years, the automobile was responsible for major social and economic trends in land use, housing, commuting, and personal mobility. The number of registered onroad vehicles in the United States grew from 8,000 in 1900 to an estimated 268 million as of 2015. By 1950, more than half of the U.S. population lived in metropolitan areas, and by 2000 over 80 percent of the U.S. population were in urban areas. Most of this growth was in the suburbs. By 1960, a larger share of metropolitan populations was in suburban areas than in central cities. From 1950 to 2016, road miles increased by only 25 percent,

whereas vehicle miles traveled (VMT) increased by 690 percent. As the growth in VMT outstripped growth in road mileage, congestion has increased.

By 1970, onroad vehicles were major contributors to national emissions of three pollutants, comprising 35 percent of nitrogen oxides (NOx), 68 percent of carbon monoxide (CO), and 42 percent of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Total U.S. emissions from onroad vehicles in 1970 was 7.4 million tons of NOx, 88 million tons of CO, and 13 million tons of VOCs. Growing recognition of their impact on the environment resulted in the inclusion of the first national vehicle emissions standards in the 1970 U.S. Clean Air Act. U.S. vehicle emissions of CO, NOx, VOCs, and particulate matter have declined steadily in the last two decades despite continued growth in VMT. Today, the United States is one of the most motorized nations, at 821 vehi-cles per 1,000 people in 2015, and continues to have more vehicles than any other country.

The 48th Annual A&WMA Critical Review focuses on answering the following key technical and policy questions regarding trends in onroad transportation energy and emissions, motivated by the factors identified above:• What are the historic trends in onroad vehicle technology, fuel efficiency, and emissions?• How effective are onroad fleet fuel economy and vehicle emissions standards?• What are the current trends in onroad vehicle technology and operation that affect energy use and emissions?• Are real-world onroad fuel economy and emissions consistent with fuel economy and emissions regulations, respectively?• What are the emerging challenges and opportunities related to onroad vehicle energy consumption and emissions?• What are the advances in measurement and monitoring of onroad vehicle energy consumption and emissions, and what new capabilities do these advances enable?• What are the impacts of onroad transportation on public health and the environment?• How can exposure to onroad transportation-related air pollution be managed?

The full-length review will be published in the June 2018 issue of JA&WMA.

48TH ANNUAL CRITICAL REVIEWTuesday, June 26, 9:00 am - 11:45 am • Ballroom B

Trends in Onroad Transportation Energy and Emissionsby H. Christopher Frey, Ph.D., F. A&WMA, F. SRA

About the AuthorThe 48th Annual A&WMA Critical Review is written and presented by Dr. H. Christopher Frey, the Glenn E. Futrell Distinguished University Professor of Environmental Engineering in the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering at North Carolina State University. Dr. Frey is a Fellow of the Air & Waste Management Association (A&WMA) and of the Society for Risk Analysis (SRA), is currently serving on the Board of Directors of, and is Vice President of, A&WMA, and was President of SRA in 2006.

Dr. Frey is an internationally recognized expert in transportation energy use and emissions. Dr. Frey’s early work on modeling of second-by-second vehicle energy use based on vehicle-specific power was influential in the design of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Motor Vehicle Emissions Simulator (MOVES), which also estimates energy use rates for many vehicle technology and fuel combinations. He has pioneered the measurement and modeling of onroad and nonroad vehicle activity, energy use, and emissions based on 1-Hz field measurements using portable emission measurement systems (PEMS). Since 1999, Dr. Frey has measured vehicle activity, energy use, and emissions using PEMS, amassing data for over 250 vehicles.

Dr. Frey served as a member and chair of the U.S. EPA Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC), has chaired CASAC Review Panels on Nitrogen Dioxide, Ozone, and Lead, and has served on CASAC Review Panels for Carbon Monoxide, Ozone, and Sulfur Oxides. For the IPCC’s National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Program, he served as an expert and Lead Author for the chapter on uncertainties for the 2006 IPCC Guidelines on National Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories, and in 2016 was an invited expert regarding updates to the 2006 Guidelines. Additionally, he was a technical contributor to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s 2010 Report to Congress regarding Transportation’s Role in Reducing U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions.

Thank you to John Bachmann for his invaluable assistance in the preparation and editing of this year’s Review.

Invited DiscussantsFollowing the presentation, a panel of invited experts will critique the presentation and offer their views on the topic. This year’s invited discussants are:

• Alberto Ayala, Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District• Susan Collet, Toyota Motor Engineering and Manufacturing North America• Rashid Shaikh, Health Effects Institute• Eric Stevenson, Bay Area Air QualityManagement District• Michael P. Walsh, Independent Consultant, International Council on Clean Transportation

Join the DiscussionComments also will be solicited from the floor and from written submissions to the Critical Review Committee Chair. The Chair will then synthesize these points into a Discussion Paper that will be published in the October 2018 issue of JA&WMA. Comments should be submitted in writing to Sam Altshuler, at [email protected] by no later than July 31, 2018.

Attend the Critical Review Committee Meeting on Tuesday, June 26, from 3:00 pm–4:00 pm in room 26.

Perspectives on EPA Priorities 2018-2019Track: MINI/REGURoom: Ballroom B

6/26/2018, 1:20 PMPanel – TCC: REGChair: David Jordan, ERM

As we enter the second year of the Trump administration, questions persist over the EPA’s priorities and the path the agency will pursue over the next three years. The Clean Air Act sets forth specific mandates that the agency must continue to address while it evaluates whether to reverse or revise certain actions from the previous administration. Bill Wehrum, Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation for EPA will provide comments on EPA’s priorities as a part of the keynote address for the conference. This panel will provide an opportunity for key interest groups to discuss pending EPA rulemaking actions and to discuss EPA’s stated objectives over the coming months. A representative of state/local air agencies, an industry representative, and a repre-sentative of an environmental advocacy group will be provided an opportunity to comment on EPA’s priorities as a part of this panel.

6/26/2018, 1:20 PMPanel – TCC: CCI/REGChair: Maebeth Lopez, LSA AssociatesVice Chair: Michael Hendrix, LSA Associates

The Association of Environmental Planners (AEP) Climate Change Committee reviewed a database of over 600 climate ac-tion plans adopted by cities and counties in the State of California to determine the successes and challenges local governments encountered in the implementation of the plans. The Commit-tee then selected fifty climate action plans considered California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) qualified plans for an interim review. Finally, the Committee focused on nine climate action plans for in-depth reviews that included a review of each specific greenhouse gas reduction strategy within these plans and moni-toring mechanisms to determine which ones were the most suc-cessful in reducing emissions. This panel will summarize climate action planning within California including the definition of CEQA “qualified” plans. The AEP Climate Change Committee review of 600 climate action plans will be summarized, including how many of these plans incorporated monitoring, the range of effort in implementation and monitoring of the plans including average an-nual staff hours, and what measures within these plans were the most successful as well as conditions that were found to impede success. The panel will then characterize the nine climate action plans that were reviewed in greater detail and summarize the differences between climate action plans adopted by large urban cities, versus rural communities and the variations of climate action plans within the various regions and economic sectors in California. Finally, the panel will provide an overview of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) climate action planning support and resources available to local jurisdictions

to assist them in the development and implementation of local climate action plans. The panel will conclude with recommenda-tions on how the BAAQMD support and resources as well as the best practices in climate action planning developed by AEP can be replicated nationally.

New Source Review (NSR): Issues and Recent DevelopmentsTrack: REGURoom: 17

6/26/2018, 4:00 PMPanel – TCC: REGChair: Gary McCutchen, RTP Environmental Associates, Inc.Vice Chair: Ken Weiss, ERM

New Source Review (NSR) permitting (which includes nonattainment major NSR permitting, Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permitting, and minor NSR permitting) continues to be affected by EPA policy and court decisions regarding implementation of the programs, including the PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards, the aggregation rule, and other issues. The year 2018 has already brought two major NSR policy shifts from the new administration into the picture: one regarding the role of EPA in reviewing a source’s emissions projections and the other addressing project “netting”. Additional policy shifts are in the works. A panel of experts spanning local, state, and federal permitting authorities will discuss major developments in NSR, point out ways that facility operations could be affected by these developments, indicate what may lie ahead, and identify issues that remain unsettled.

6/26/2018, 4:00 PMPanel – TCC: WMRChair: J. Christopher Baird, Perkins Coie LLP

Now that much of the low-hanging fruit has been addressed, we are left with larger and more complicated contaminated sites with many private and public stakeholders. At some contaminated sediment sites, the cleanup levels for upland soil can differ by an order of magnitude depending on whether the state or federal government is in charge or even which regulatory regime applies to the cleanup. This panel will share its experience in addressing hot topics in contaminated site remediation at these complicated sites, including:• How do we determine how clean is clean, especially at sites,

like large sediment sites, with a high risk of recontamination?• How do we make sure that all the stakeholders, including

citizens groups, government agencies, and regulated entities work together to achieve reasonable remediation?

• As detection limits creep lower, what do we do about new potential hazards, like perfluorinated chemicals, at sites that are already undergoing remediation?

6/26/2018, 4:00 PMPanel – TCC: AAMChair: Jen Cowman Moore, 3M CompanyVice Chair: Abhishek Bhat, Ramboll

Emissions monitoring technology is evolving at an incredible pace. With new uses for sensors and technology (like drones), there is an abundance of data that the public can use to monitor ambient air quality. How does this technology compare to “tried and true” monitoring technology that industries use to demonstrate compliance with regulations? This panel will provide an overview of the different types of monitoring equipment available and new technologies that are changing the way industries, regulators and citizens are measuring air emissions. Each panelist will describe what pollutant their sensor or technology measures and will explain how it works. They will discuss emission sources that commonly use this equipment and how the collected data are used. Panelists will also review new or unique uses of their technology. The monitoring technology that will be reviewed during this session includes drones, satellites, wearable monitors, fence line monitoring and FTIR/GC. All panelists will follow the same agenda, allowing attendees to make comparisons across different technologies. This will be a great introductory panel presentation for all attendees but is focused on reaching the student/young professional attendee.

Evironmental Priorities and Challenges in New England - The Commissioners’ PanelTrack: MINI/REGURoom: 12-13

6/27/2018, 8:00 AMPanel – TCC: REGChair: Mark Sussman, Murtha Cullina LLPVice Chair: Alexandra Dunn, EPA

In these times of constrained state and federal budgets, and significant policy changes at the EPA, what are the priorities and challenges faced by the state and federal environmental agencies? How are the state and federal regulators working together, and where will they focus their limited resources? While the current federal administration has announced that it is pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord, proposing to repeal the Clean Power Plan, and roll back vehicle fuel efficiency standards, the New England states are continuing to focus on reducing greenhouse gas emis-sions. In addition, some of the New England states are suing EPA over its air pollution policies. What is the ongoing relation-ship between EPA Region 1 and the states? Is the debate at the na-tional level over climate change and clean air standards affecting the cooperative state/federal approach to environmental protec-tion in New England? This panel of distinguished regulators will address these questions and more during the panel discussion.

Advancing Circular Economy via Sustainable Materials ManagementTrack: SUSTRoom: 15

6/27/2018, 8:00 AMPanel – TCC: SRCChair: Chih Chao, Cantech Environmental ServicesVice Chair: Ning Ai, University of Illinois at Chicago

To achieve the goal of circular economy, it is vitally important that a sustainable materials management system be set up to enhance the material and energy use efficiency and minimize the unnec-essary extraction of resources from the earth, with an objective of preserving the natural assets for use by future generations. Under the sustainable materials management scheme, optimization of material-energy-water nexus and ensuring economic and social viability are a key to assess the plausibility of the proposed circular economy approach. This panel will address the complex issues involved in pursuing circular economy via sustainable materials management. Four presentations covering different angles will be covered. Systems for industrial material-energy synergy for industrial production will be presented by Chih Chao with illustrations from eco-industrial parks. Ning Ai will present local solutions to material-specific resource management using food waste and retired electric vehicle batteries to discuss emerging programs and the distinctive policy needs to support local solutions. Issues of zero waste policies, economies, system development and partnership building along with challenges and opportunities will be presented and discussed by Maggie Clarke. The final presentation by Reid Lifset will focus on industrial ecology and circular economy, describing their history and the prospects for their fruitful interaction.

How Clean is Clean When the Risks Keep Changing – Impact of New Toxicology on Legacy Chemical RemediationTrack: WAST/H&EERoom: 16

6/27/2018, 8:00 AMPanel – TCC: WMR/HEEChair: William Rish, ToxStrategies, Inc.

Managing risk at contaminated sites is challenged by changes in our understanding of the underlying toxicology of chemicals over time. The purpose of this panel discussion is to provide an update on the current changes to the toxicology of several chemicals that frequently drive site remediation decisions and costs, including trichloroethylene (TCE), hexavalent chromium (CrVI), and ben-zo(a)pyrene (BaP). The impact of these changes on decisions about “how clean is clean?” will be discussed. The toxicology of TCE is currently being reevaluated by EPA under TSCA, while the current interpretation is driving remediation reopeners based on vapor intrusion, including the evacuation of buildings in some cases. A top U. S. Air Force (USAF) risk assessor will discuss alternative toxicology interpretations underpinning the current TCE risk controversy, how current EPA action levels are driving actions to address the vapor intrusion pathway, and efforts to revise the biological/toxicological model for inhalation of TCE to improve upon the EPA action levels. One of the Principal Inves-tigators of a comprehensive multi-year research effort into the mode of action of CrVI carcinogenicity following oral exposure will discuss the results, as well as recent regulatory efforts to incor-porate these data into the regulatory decision-making process on environmental cleanup. BaP can be one of the primary drivers of site cleanup efforts, especially at manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites. EPA recently completed a re-assessment of the toxicology of BaP, resulting in a less potent oral cancer slope factor, more potent inhalation unit risk, and for the first time, toxicity criteria protective of non-cancer effects. The implications of these changes

How the Insurance Industry is Handling the Uncertainties of Climate ChangeTrack: CLIMRoom: 22

6/27/2018, 10:20 AMPanel – TCC: CCIChair: C. Flint Webb, LeidosVice Chair: Lee Hoffman, Pullman & Comley, LLC

The purpose of insurance is to protect against rare but catastrophic events. Climate change is already increasing the frequency and intensity of: storms, wildfires, floods, and droughts all of which will require that the actuarial tables be adjusted for common forms of property insurance. A recent insurance industry study found that in 2016 there were 25% more major “loss events” than the ten-year annual average. Climate change is also affecting the health insurance industry with new risks from tropical diseases as vectors such as mosquitos expand their range. This panel will discuss how the insurance industry is calculating the increased risks and how they are compensating for them in their insurance products. The industry is currently examining the use of a variety of tools including increasing the use of analytics in making price determi-nations, incentivizing resilience measures through premium discounts, encouraging local governments to invest more in resilience to climate change effects, and improved uses of climate modeling. There are trillions of dollars estimated to be at stake due to the effects of climate change by the year 2100.

6/27/2018, 1:35 PMPanel – TCC: REGChair: John Evans, RTP Environmental Associates, Inc.Vice Chair: Gary Saini, RTP Environmental Associates Inc.

Since January of 2017 the new EPA administration has focused its efforts on regulatory reform. Changes have included withdrawal of the Clean Power Plan, several major changes to New Source Review policy, withdrawal of the Once-In-Always-In policy, and new interpretations of Title V citizen petition review standards. While the initial focus has been on the regulatory side, there have been a number of calls for changes to some of the major environmental laws including the Clean Air Act. Understanding the impact of these changes and the procedures under which they were enacted is critical to industry, state agencies, consultants, and attorneys. The panel will review these developments and explain how these changes will be implemented “on the ground.” In addition, the panel will provide updates on legal challenges to these regulatory reform efforts. Finally, the panel will look ahead at what is expected in the future both in terms of regulatory and statutory reforms.

US EPA Tools and Methods for Quantifying the Emissions-related Health Benefits of Energy Efficiency and Renewable EnergyTrack: H&EE/AQES/POWRRoom: 22

6/27/2018, 1:35 PMPanel – TCC: HEE/AAE/PWRChair: Denise Mulholland, EPA

Proponents of energy efficiency and renewable energy (EE/RE) often assert qualitatively that health benefits and the related economic value of health benefits from emissions reductions are an important rationale for EE/RE policies/projects. Health and related economic benefits, however, are not routinely or consis-tently evaluated when analysts quantify the benefits of EE/RE in practice. This may be because analysts are not sure about the appropriate method for quantifying benefits or may not have access to affordable tools and resources for quantifying them. To address this gap, EPA has developed a suite of free, us-er-friendly, and peer reviewed tools and resources for evaluating the emissions, air quality and public health benefits of EE/RE pro-grams. This panel will include an introduction plus three presenta-tions that will describe the tools and resources, including:• EPA’s AVoided Emissions and geneRation Tool (AVERT)

enables users to estimate the NOx, SO2, CO2 and PM2.5 emission reductions of EE/RE programs at the county, state, regional or national levels.

• The Co-Benefits Risk Assessment (COBRA) Health Impacts Screening and Mapping Tool enables users to quantify the localized air quality impacts, health effects, and related

economic value from changes in criteria air pollutants. • Using both tools, analysts can develop simplified health benefits

per kilowatt-hour (BPK) factors that can be used as basic rules of thumb. EPA has developed a set of region- and technolo-gy-specific monetized health benefits-per-kilowatt hour ($/kWh) reduced or displaced by EE/RE.

The experts on this panel will discuss the permitting implications of PM2.5 precursor and other modeling issues, including the difficulties involved in assessing the impacts of precursor emission changes on attainment strategies. This will be discussed from both a national and state level and both technical and legal issues will be identified. EPA’s decision to consider all precursors as contributing to PM2.5 concentrations has added to the complexity of attainment plans in areas designated PM2.5 nonattainment. At a minimum, states must take precursors into account or, where the option exists, demonstrate that the precursor does not contribute significantly to PM2.5 concentrations. In addition, the permitting implications of EPA’s recently revised Appendix W regarding dispersion modeling will be discussed.

How Does It Work? – Environmental LawTrack: YPRO/REGURoom: 116/27/2018, 1:35 PMPanel – TCC: REGChair: Jen Cowman Moore: 3M Company

To the non-lawyer, environmental law may seem hard to define. It is a field that greatly impacts how the regulated community does business, how regulators enforce rule making, and how citizens have a voice in the rule making process. Each perspective is necessary to weight the impacts of changing environmental requirements against the ability to implement and evaluate the legality of those requirements. This panel will provide an overview of the different types of practices of environmental law. Each panelist will describe their area of expertise, the basis of this practice, who their typical client is, and what regulatory/professional challenges they face in their practice. Panelist will also review new or unique aspects to their practice. The environmental law perspectives that will be reviewed during this session include government agencies, industries, and environmental groups. All presenters will follow the same agenda, allowing attendees to make comparisons across different aspects of environmental law. This is a great introductory panel presentation for all attendees but is focused on reaching the student/young professional attendee.

Historically industry has been leery of environmental groups and other non-governmental organizations (NGOs). In today’s world, those same groups can play a key role in helping industrial operations develop sustainability goals relating to social and environmental concerns. NGOs also play a critical role in helping to develop quantifiable metrics by which to gauge the industry’s progress toward those goals. In order to demonstrate the importance of this relationship in the success of an industrial sustainability program, this panel will comprise a group of professionals that deal with these interactions. Panelists will discuss how NGO and industry collaborations can help shape industrial sustainability programs.

Environmental Crisis Management and Risk Assessment/Environmental Justice Case StudiesTrack: H&EERoom: 22

6/27/2018, 4:00 PMPanel – TCC: RAMChair: Donald C. Bluedorn II, Babst Calland Clements & Zomnir, P.C.

Donald C. Bluedorn II was Special Environmental Counsel for Freedom Industries, Inc. regarding the January 2014 MCHM release to the Elk River in Charleston, WV. He will share some of his experiences with the Freedom matter and other environ-mental crises, and present a practical road map for navigating environmental crisis management and environmental disaster issues.

Following the first presentation, Joseph Sabato of Epsilon Associ-ates, Inc. will make a presentation on the use of risk assessment in an enhanced environmental justice analysis, including a case study. The concept of environmental justice (EJ) initially focused on “the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people, regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environ-mental laws, regulations and policies.” More recently, the concept of EJ has shifted in some states (Massachusetts and California) to require a comprehensive multipollutant health burden analysis. This presentation will focus on how the principles of risk assessment (Hazard Identification, Dose/Response, Exposure Assessment and Risk Characterization) can be utilized to address this requirement, utilizing a case study of a new combined heat and power facility to document how to conduct an enhanced environmental justice analysis. By using the risk assessment framework in an enhanced EJ analysis, it enables the public to understand the risks from the project in context with everyday exposures and identify the effectiveness of potential mitigation strategies.

Challenges in Siting and Permitting Renewable Energy ProjectsTrack: REGU/POWR/WASTRoom: 17

6/27/2018, 4:00 PMPanel – TCC: PUB/PWR/WMBChair: Lee Hoffman, Pullman & Comley, LLC

The development of renewable energy resources has long been held as a fundamental method for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from anthropomorphic sources. The recent Paris Agreement is now recognized by 176 countries as one of the guiding documents for greenhouse gas reductions across the globe. Even though the United States has decided to remove itself from the Paris Agreement, many of the states in the U.S. continue to have greenhouse gas emission reduction goals. For 29 of those states, those goals are documented, in part, by the development of renewable portfolio standards. Twenty-nine states now have such standards which require utilities and/or electricity providers to sell a specified percentage or amount of renewable electricity to their customers. Failure to meet such renewable portfolio targets often result in the imposition of penalties, which, when levied against utilities, cannot always be recovered in ratemaking proceedings. Given the zero to low emission profiles of most renewable energy projects, coupled with their environmental benefits, it would be presumed that the siting of such renewable energy projects would be welcomed by environmental groups, regulators, and the communities and states which they would serve. Frequently, however, this is not the case, as renewable energy projects are met with claims of inefficient use of land, disproportionate use of natural resources and “NIMBYism” from communities in which the projects are located. This panel, con-sisting of a developer of renewable energy projects, an expert on the technical aspects of permitting and siting of projects and a permitting lawyer, will examine the various challenges that may befall renewable energy projects and what can be done to ensure that such projects are permitting and sited appropriately.

Mitigating Climate Change Through Sustainable Materials ManagementTrack: MINI/CLIM/SUSTRoom: 12-13

6/28/2018, 8:00 AMPanel – TCC: CCP/SRCChair: Andy Bray, Northeast Waste Management Officials’ Association (NEWMOA)Vice-Chair: Minal Mistry, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality

Each stage of a product’s life cycle - from raw materials extraction to manufacturing, transportation, use, and “end-of-life” management - consumes energy and result in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Many states and local governments have policies that focus on end-of-life, through expanding recycling and waste diversion; however, significant reductions in GHG emissions through sustainable materials management (SMM) are best achieved by focusing on production and consumption. A better shared under-standing of the “embodied energy” and associated GHG impacts of categories of products and commodities is needed to inform policies and practices and enable more effective action by state and local governments, as well as businesses and individuals. The panel will review the body of work on climate change mitigation through SMM with emphases on: efforts to quantify the aggregate lifecycle impacts of materials through consumption-based emis-sions modeling; analyses of the attributes of specific high-impact products and commodities; states’ actions to mitigate the impacts of materials use; and research into industrial reuse to capitalize on the embodied energy of materials.

The case for systematic management of corporate environmental efforts and impacts has been made. Corporations have shifted their priorities toward mitigation efforts, with success. Recent de-cades have seen a significant increase in corporate adoption of voluntary environmental management programs, based on national and international standards. As we look toward the future, it is clear that we must continue to grow capable professionals that not only understand the challenges but also grasp the systems and methods of strategic, corporate-driven environmental risk management. More recent topics of concern to the environmental engineering profession have included pollution prevention, sustainability, health and hazard risk management and optimiza-tion. To address shortcomings of educational programs, new environmental engineering curriculum that is responsive to the

modernization of the profession will be presented to better prepare the environmental engineers of today and the real world professional challenges they will face in the near future.

Efforts to understand and exploit the unique properties of na-noscale materials increasingly bring nanotechnology into the laboratory, the factory, and the product life cycle. But as researchers and market participants race to realize the promise and potential of nanotechnology, risk assessment is challenged to keep up. In this rapidly evolving sphere, it is important to understand the principles that define legal obligations and give rise to legal liabilities. This program will explore the applicability, limitations and uncertainties of statutes, regulations, standards and practices as potential sources of liability associated with nanotechnology. Exposure, risk and applicable legal requirements will be examined through the life cycle from the workplace, to practical applications and uses, to end-of-life considerations. The program will analyze potential sources of legal liability and explore conclusions and best practices to anticipate, avoid and manage liability.

Air Permitting Problems and SolutionsTrack: REGURoom: 12-13

6/28/2018, 10:00 AMPanel – TCC: REGChair: Paul Siebert, Weston Solutions, Inc.

This panel will discuss permitting issues and permit conditions that are prone to problems from various industry, government, and environmentalist perspectives. Air pollutant emission sources are generally required to obtain construction and operating permits from state or local air quality agencies, or directly from the EPA. Generally the issuing agency will provide an opportunity for a facility to review and comment on draft permit conditions. Taking advantage of that opportunity is essential to ensure the best permit. Particular permit conditions that may present problems are: inflexible conditions that do not provide for real world variations; emission limitations that cannot be routinely or consistently achieved in practice; monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting conditions that require excessive effort; and stack testing require-ments that are of questionable value yet costly. These and others may require substantial effort, yet produce little environmental benefit. On the other hand, permitting agencies and environmental advocacy groups may perceive different problems with permit conditions. The panel will discuss alternative conditions and other

remedies. Although modification of permit conditions is within the exclusive purview of the permitting agency, permitting agency personnel may have little familiarity with local issues or the difficulty of complying with some permit conditions. Facility personnel should strive to explain inherent difficulties and costs of troublesome permit conditions, so they can be changed before final issuance. Similarly, the public should take advantage of its opportunities to inquire and comment on a proposed permit based on their familiarity with the locality or specific issues.

6/28/2018, 10:00 AMPanel – TCC: REG/AAEChair: Chris Nelson, 3M CompanyVice-Chair: Andrew Willing, 3M Company

The panel session will cover the review of air toxics / hazardous air pollutant emissions and potential impacts during permitting for new or modified sources. Many state and local agencies have policies for air toxics review and these policies vary greatly between jurisdictions. Panelists will explore the following questions and more: How do states decide which pollutants are of interest? How do states decide which projects should be reviewed? What quantitative and qualitative risk assessment approaches are used to determine when pollution control or operating limits are added to permits? Are programs typically policy or rule-based? How, and how often, are programs reviewed and updated? What best practices exist to optimize public health protection and regulatory efficiency? Planned panelists will come from both the public and private sectors, providing attendees with diverse viewpoints and facilitating discussion. Environmental professionals can attend to learn more about specific programs and general approaches that they can apply in their own areas of influence and expertise.

Environmental Inspections and Enforcement - How to Prepare for Inspections and How to Respond to InspectionsTrack: REGU/INDURoom: 14

6/28/2018, 10:00 AMPanel – TCC: REG/PIMChair: Lee Hoffman, Pullman & Comley, LLC

Whether they are announced or are unscheduled, visits by state and federal inspectors and regulators are understandably some of the most stressful situations faced by EHS professionals. The EHS professional and his/her management want to demonstrate their commitment to environmental compliance, however, the breadth of issues covered by some inspections, coupled with a lack of advance knowledge of the issues the inspector wishes to delve into greater detail, often leaves EHS professionals and their management flustered at best, and may result in fines or additional penalties at worst. Preparation is key to surviving an inspection by EPA or state personnel. While the facility often has advance warning that the inspector will be visiting, so that disruption caused by an inspection can be minimized, that is not always the case. The key to successful inspection results involves establishing procedures for handling government inspections of your facility ahead of time, and following those procedures when an inspector arrives. Doing so will help ensure that the inspector receives correct information and will minimize disruption to your facility. This panel will demonstrate the “dos and don’ts” of responding to environmental inspections, with real-world examples taken from actual inspections. In order to make for a more lively presentation, the panelists will play the role of the environmental inspector and the EHS professional whose facility is being inspected. After the panelists demonstrate what should/should not be done when responding to an inspection, the panel will shift to concrete examples that facilities can take to ensure that their inspections provide regulators with the information they need to determine the facility is in compliance. We will discuss: the roles of audits in facility inspections, how to interact with inspectors when they visit the facility, ensuring that you document the inspection correctly, and what to do after the inspection is completed. Additional time will be made available for a robust question-and-answer session.

State and local agencies have specific programs to assess concentrations of air toxics / hazardous air pollutants and determine potential public health outcomes. The panel session will review various modeling and monitoring approaches, with the goals of improving attendees’ general knowledge and specific understanding of methods. Panelists will explore questions related to air quality modeling and monitoring. Modeling topics may include: What tools exist to analyze potential public health risks from air toxics? What assumptions are built into those tools? What health benchmarks are used and how are they derived? How are (modeled) exceedances of risk thresholds / health benchmarks addressed? What qualitative considerations are made, if any? Is the general public actively involved in any part of the process, and if so, how? Monitoring topics may include the use of cheaper and more accurate sensors, and public & private entities collection of more ambient data on air toxics concentrations, and may consider the following questions: What do the results mean and (how) do you act on it? What

best practices exist? Is the general public actively involved in any part of the process, and if so, how?

Advanced Environmental Due Diligence with ASTM Site Assessment StandardsTrack: REGURoom: 14

6/28/2018, 1:30 PMPanel – TCC: REGChair: Christopher McCormack, Pullman & Comley, LLC

Environmental due diligence is a common feature of transactions involving real property and business entities. Purchasers conduct due diligence to understand liability risks and compliance costs associated with properties and businesses. Lenders and insurers look to the due diligence process to underwrite loans and policies. Regulators and courts scrutinize the thoroughness of due diligence to determine eligibility for certain statutory defenses. Despite its importance, environmental due diligence frequently means different things to different people. A sophisticated property developer may be comfortable with lesser certainty, but a risk-averse purchaser may have little tolerance for even slight risk. A seller personally familiar with a site’s history may instinctively resist more than limited investigation. Information that satisfies one person as a “clean bill of health” may leave another with a lengthy list of questions. Standardization or even a common vocabulary can be elusive. Environmental assessment standards provide a frame of reference for the due diligence process. ASTM International’s Committee E50 on Environmental Assessment, Risk Management and Corrective Action oversees several standard practices and guides that outline concepts, terminology and procedures for common assessment tasks. The most familiar of these is E1527-13, “Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process,” which the EPA has endorsed by regulation as a means of performing the pre-purchase “all appropriate inquiry” required to qualify for certain liability protections under the federal Superfund law. Beyond Phase I, other ASTM standards provide a range of due diligence tools that support systematic analysis of environmental conditions and risks, and facilitate communication among diverse stakeholders by defining standardized procedures and nomenclature. This panel will explore the ASTM standards development process, review standards particularly useful for conducting

environmental due diligence, and highlight current developments in environmental assessment standards.

BACT Development and ImplementationTrack: REGU/INDURoom: 12-13

6/28/2018, 1:30 PMPanel – TCC: REG/PIMChair: John Evans, RTP Environmental Associates, Inc.Vice Chair: Steven Weber, Parker, Poe, Adams & Bernstein, LLP

The Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) pre-construction permitting program has a number of core requirements including the requirement for Best Available Control Technology (BACT). The statutory and regulatory definition of BACT has remained effectively unchanged since the initial development of the PSD statute and regulations in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. However, because of the case-by-case nature of determining BACT, the decisions made by permitting authorities are often the subject of considerable public review and scrutiny and frequently form the basis for legal challenges to PSD permit actions. This panel of experts will provide insight into the latest BACT issues including how to implement the clean fuels language of BACT and still provide operational flexibility; what does it mean to “redefine the source;” how to address startup/shutdown/ malfunction (SSM) in the BACT context; how best to draft enforceable BACT limits, and to what extent do programs like MACT and Title V impact BACT determinations.
