SWEP-CT Brownbag: Emerging Contaminants

On behalf of SWEP, we cordially invite you to a brown bag lunch presentation by Richard Desrosiers (GZA) regarding per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and other associated emerging contaminants.  Where are they, what are the implications, and how will they shape your practice?

There is no cost for this members-only event.  Cookies and soda will be provided, but please bring your own lunch.  Space is limited, so please be sure to register.

Richard Desrosiers is a CT Licensed Environmental Professional and a licensed Professional Geologist (NH and TN).  Mr. Desrosiers has 33-years of environmental experience focusing on understanding complex geologic, hydrogeologic and geochemistry related to soil and groundwater contamination.  His  responsibilities have included the assessment and remediation of metals and volatile organic compounds including a site that has impacted one square mile utilizing state of the art investigation techniques including high resolution site characterization, RCRA/CERCLA hazardous waste investigations/closures; developing in-situ innovative technologies to remediate groundwater contamination; and developing high yielding groundwater supplies in both the surficial and deep bedrock aquifers. He has provided depositions and expert testimony for bench and jury trials.  Mr. Desrosiers is currently involved with two Interstate Technology & Regulatory Council (ITRC) teams “Optimization of In-Situ Remediation and Injection Strategies” and “Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)” and was an active member on the recently published ITRC “Characterization and Remediation in Fractured Bedrock” document.
