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.

FEATURED PROJECTS

Treatment of PFAS-Impacted Water Using a Mobile Enhanced Contact Plasma System, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base,

Dayton, OH

GSI and Clarkson University designed and constructed a mobile plasma treatment system for destruction of PFAS in groundwater. The first-of-its-kind field demonstration was conducted at Wright-Patterson Air Force base and funded by the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC). The system successfully treated hundreds of gallons of PFAS-impacted groundwater, targeting PFAS precursors, long-chain PFAS (PFOA and PFOS), and several short-chain PFAS in the source water. This project demonstrated the efficacy of the enhanced contract plasma reactor for treatment of PFAS and co-contaminants and provides the Air Force with an alternative treatment method to costly disposal options.

Long-Term Methane Emissions Rate Quantification and Alert System for Natural Gas Storage Wells and Fields,

Multiple facilities (Utah and U.S. Gulf Coast)

GSI and Utah State University employed a novel combination of measurement methods and technologies to detect and quantify average annual methane emissions from natural gas storage wells, including i) above-ground equipment leaks, and ii) ground level seepage from underground leaks near the wellbore. Representative emission factors for storage well components (e.g., valves, flanges, vents) were developed to support EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory and related reporting. A novel in-ground network of sensors was deployed to monitor thermal signatures of below-ground seepage near selected wells, a technology which may serve in the future as a cost-effective early warning system for subsurface natural gas leaks.

Improved Management of 1,4-Dioxane-Contaminated Sites,

Multiple facilities (United States).

GSI was the principal investigator of SERDP-sponsored project that developed an improved basis for decision making and management of 1,4-dioxane contaminated sites. The project was completed with team members from Rice University and UCLA using a combination of data mining, modeling, and bench-scale and field-scale studies. It established that 1,4-dioxane plumes are generally dilute and frequently similarly sized or shorter than co-occurring chlorinated solvent plumes. The study also provided evidence for attenuation, suggesting there is less risk of uncontrolled 1,4-dioxane plumes than originally anticipated. The results also generated insights on source zone characteristics, including the finding that at some sites, much of the remaining 1.4-dioxane mass may be present in low-permeability regions of the aquifer. As a result, conventional treatment may not be cost-effective or technically practical, and alternative, lower-cost management strategies such as natural attenuation may be more effective than previously thought. This research helped change the conventional conceptual model for how this emerging contaminant behaves following its release to the environment.
