ITRC's two-part V***r Intrusion (VI) Mitigation Training will kick off next week with Session 1 being held on Thursday, March 14th from 1:00-3:00 PM EST. Our featured trainers include: Kelly Johnson, P.G., David Folkes, Emma Hong Luo, Jennifer Borski, Eric Blodgett, and Marek Ostrowski.

While the training makes every effort to keep the information accessible to a wide audience, it is assumed that the participants will have some basic technical understanding of chemistry, environmental sciences, and risk assessment. As with other emerging contaminants, our understanding of v***r intrusion mitigation continues to advance. This training provides the participants with information on areas where the science is evolving and where uncertainty persists.

We're excited to announce that Dr. Bridger Ruyle, Postdoctoral Fellow at the Carnegie Institution for Science at Stanford, will be a keynote speaker at our Annual Meeting on April 10, 2024!

His talk will demonstrate how artificial intelligence tools can be leveraged to identify the pathways and timescales of PFAS migration away from contaminated sites into downgradient drinking water resources.

Register now to join Dr. Ruyle and hundreds of others from the ITRC community at the Annual Meeting in Long Beach! https://itrcweb.org/events/2024-annual-meeting

ITRC is excited to announce the release of our Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) Guidance!

ITRC's new MAR Guidance provides a basic understanding of MAR and its applications through the presentation of:

- A model of the MAR process illustrating the four key components of MAR and their interaction.

- An overview of the applications of MAR and its role in addressing climate change impacts through sustainability and resilience in water resources management.

- Information on the key components of MAR and the critical considerations for each component in the design of a MAR project.

- Case studies illustrating the various applications of MAR.

ITRC is excited to announce the release of our Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CEC) Framework!

The ITRC CEC Framework is comprised of a white paper and four associated fact sheets. These materials were developed to help environmental regulatory agencies and other stakeholders identify examples of CEC monitoring programs; evaluate potential hazard by systematically applying key CEC characteristics; communicate real and perceived risk from CEC to the public; and understand how laboratory analytical methods can be used in the identification process.

Join us today for our Sustainable Resilient Remediation (SRR) free Online Webinar from 1-3:15 pm ET!

Sustainable resilient remediation (SRR) is an optimized solution to cleaning up and reusing a hazardous waste site that limits negative environmental impacts, maximizes social and economic benefits, and creates resilience against increasing threats. The objective of the ITRC Sustainable Resilient Remediation (SRR-1) is to provide resources and tools for regulators, stakeholders, consultants, and responsible parties to help integrate sustainable and resilient practices into remediation projects.
