NAPA and the State Asphalt Pavement Associations (SAPAs) invite you to join us on Thursday, October 5, at 12:30 PM ET for this important and timely webinar.
Members must register and attend live. This webinar will not be available on demand.
While we encourage any interested members to attend, the information presented in this webinar will be especially pertinent to:
· environmental and legal representatives of mix plant operators
· contractors involved in airport maintenance activities
PFAS, Airport Pavements, and Environmental Justice: Managing Risk
PFAS, also known as ‘forever chemicals,’ continue to garner media, community, and EPA attention. Because airport fire-fighting foam contains high levels of PFAS, the impact of such materials on airport pavements continues to be investigated. Coupled with an emphasis on environmental justice (EJ), the asphalt mix production industry is increasingly being scrutinized – during operations and when (re)permitting or siting a new mix plant, as illustrated by a number of recent high-profile cases.
Of immediate concern, contractors on airport milling jobs must understand how to manage potential liability and risks associated with handling such pavement materials. And plant owners/operators should understand their legal rights when addressing agency, EJ, and community concerns associated with facility emissions, especially since EPA is increasingly funding community air monitors.
Attend this webinar to listen to and ask questions of expert attorneys who will help your company navigate these uncertainties.
Why attend?
1. Understand the regulatory and litigation landscape regarding PFAS.
2. Learn about ways to manage PFAS liability and risk through contract modifications and/or best management practices.
3. Recognize how environmental justice might impact mix plant siting and operations.
4. Understand property rights when confronting adverse community or agency reaction to your operations.
5. Question the attorneys for more pertinent and detailed information.
