Luncheon Description:
The majority of PFAS presentations at conferences discuss treatment technologies. However, there are several steps before jumping to treatment that should be taken to plan for PFAS. This session provides municipalities with techniques that can be used to develop a PFAS management plan, engage in the national conversation of PFAS, stay up to date with regulations, and facilitate the PFAS conversation with stakeholders.
The session will present:
-Fate and transport of PFAS in wastewater treatment processes to better understand which regulatory drivers may impact utilities on a case-by-case basis
-Techniques to PFAS Sampling to ensure accurate results
- What to do with the samples once they are received.
- Next step strategies for utilities with PFAS in effluent or biosolids
- Industrial discharge and pretreatment programs
- Committees that utility personnel can engage with to take part in the PFAS conversation nationally
- Location for information on PFAS regulations nationally on a state and federal level, including pending regulations
This session raises the awareness of other steps and options other than PFAS removal technologies, and helps water reclamation utilities form their own plan for PFAS management.

Presenter: Teigan Gulliver, P.E, West Region Biosolids Lead/HDR
Teigan Gulliver is a Wastewater Project Manager for HDR with 17 years working in Water and Sanitation. Teigan received the MWH/Association of Environmental Engineering & Science National Best Master’s Thesis Award, studying the fate and transport of microplastics in wastewater treatment processes. As Chair of HDR’s cross-sector PFAS Practice Group, Vice Chair of WEF’s PFAS Task Force, and a founding member of WEF’s Microconstituents Community, she works to unite professionals across disciplines to develop holistic strategies for addressing the complex challenges posed by emerging contaminants.
