Roux to Sponsor & Present at 35th AEHS West Coast Conference
Monday, March 16–Thursday, March 19 Roux is a proud sponsor of the Association for Environmental Health and Sciences (AEHS) Foundation 35th Annual International Conference on Soil, Water, Energy, and Air. During the conference, members of the Roux team will moderate and present during multiple platform and poster sessions. This prestigious event has united environmental professionals for over three decades, fostering a sense of community, igniting groundbreaking collaborations, celebrating new scientific achievements, and spotlighting environmental regulation programs.
On Tuesday, March 17, Roux’s Kathleen Buxton, PG joins Wendy Piret and Todd Smyrl of Catawater to present a Platform Session entitled “Why So Salty? Minimization of Dig-and-Haul Practices for Soil Remediation of Chlorides and Other Constituents Utilizing Proven Topical Biocatalyst Technology Applications” from 9-9:30am. As outlined in our earlier post, Roux and Catawater will present a technically-focused evaluation of alternative remediation strategies for chloride-impacted soils that reduce reliance on excavation while lowering the overall project carbon footprint.
Ms. Buxton will also be featured as the Session Chair of Platform Session 04: Bioremediation, taking place from 1:30-5pm on Tuesday. This session features six insightful presentations, discussing topics such as biodegradation of chlorinated solvents, biochemical remediation of soil, and multi-barrier injection approaches.
The same day, as part of a Poster Session, Roux’s Mauricio Escobar, PG, Mike Goh, PE, and Mariya Borovska will present on “Alternative Design for a Vapor Intrusion Mitigation System for a Large Warehouse: Overcoming a Barrier to Redevelopment” from 3-6pm. This poster session presents a case study of a former steel mill property in Rancho Cucamonga planned for redevelopment with volatile organic compound impacts, including chloroform. To reduce costs on this $7.5 million estimated redevelopment, yet provide adequate protection for future building occupants, Roux designed a partial vapor intrusion mitigation system to protect a 300,000 SF section of the warehouse building directly above the delineated subsurface chloroform impacts.
