TRRP Training: 2022 Program

presented by: GSI Environmetal Inc.

Texas Risk Reduction Program regulations (TRRP; 30 TAC 350) establish consistent risk-based protocols for assessment and response to soil, groundwater, or surface water impacts associated with environmental releases of regulated wastes or substances.

Presented by GSI Environmental Inc., this popular and informative training series is a must for professionals who need a working understanding of TRRP and those needing to stay up-to-date with the latest TCEQ TRRP guidance and policies.

TRRP Training Course (2 Days): Provides an overview of the TRRP framework and step-by-step training on property assessment and response action procedures established under the TRRP rule

Attendees will become acquainted with rules, key guidance and policies covering affected property assessments, protective concentration levels, and response actions. The course material presents strategies for efficient project management in compliance with TRRP and explains the various report forms adopted by TCEQ.

PFAS Screening in Soil by Combustion Gas Analysis with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy

Chase W. Holton, PhD, PE co-authored  a new article published this week in Analytical Chemistry titled, “PFAS Screening in Soil by Combustion Gas Analysis with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy.”

Co-authors include Junli Wang, Jordyn Dashiell, Diego Castellano, Mingrui Song, Haley Grable, Lauren Edwards, Plabon Islam Turzo, and David Hanigan.

The article explores a combustion-gas analytical approach for PFAS screening in soil, offering a field-deployable method that can support rapid site characterization. By using FTIR to selectively quantify SiF4, the method helps address a key challenge in total PFAS analysis: distinguishing PFAS from inorganic fluorine interference.

This work reflects the kind of applied research that helps move environmental investigation tools forward, especially for contaminated sites where faster screening can support better decision-making.

Congratulations, Chase, on this publication!
