Rhodes Trussell, PhD, PE, BCEE, NAE Founder, Trussell Technologies Title: Evidence to Practice: From Water Treatment to Direct Potable Reuse Rula Deeb, PhD, BCEEM, PMP Senior Principal, Geosyntec Title: Advancing Remediation Technologies to Address Ever Challenging Emerging Pollutants: Lessons for PFAS Leon Downing, PhD Global Practice and Technology Leader, Black & Veatch Title: From Waste to Resource: Using the Best Science to Improve Nutrient Removal and Recovery #autumnsummit #environmentalengineer #environmentalscience #boardcertified #watertreatment #potablereuse #remediation #pollutants #pfas #wastewater Black & Veatch Geosyntec Consultants Trussell

Tag someone who is not yet Board Certified to let them know if they become an AAEES member, their application fee for Board Certification will be waived! AAEES Board Certification is the next step in a life-long career in environmental engineering and science. https://lnkd.in/eN9MEa3Y

Join us for this interactive meeting December 4th at NOON Eastern to sit down with our Executive Director, Professor Daniel B. Oerther, PhD, PE, BCEE, BCES so you can learn all about becoming #BoardCertified with the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists! https://lnkd.in/eTty9zJy Have you ever thought about Board Certification but aren’t sure where to start? Or perhaps you’ve taken a look and are worried about studying for the written exam?  Or maybe you’re not sure if your work history is sufficient to make you eligible? Let us help to remove some of the (unneeded) mystery from the process of Board Certification! #boardcertified, #environmentalengineer, #environmentalscience

Join us for our next webinar on Wednesday, October 23rd at NOON Eastern / 9 AM Pacific. This webinar is titled “Total GIS for Pipeline Route Evaluation.” FREE to all AAEES Members. $40 fee for non-members. https://lnkd.in/gdF26iem The Peace River Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority (PRMRWSA) is expanding its regional interconnecting pipelines to serve the growing needs of its member utilities, customers, and partners.  As a component of this program Kimley-Horn was authorized to perform a Feasibility and Routing Study for the Regional Integrated Loop Phase 2B and 2C Pipelines Project. In performing this routing study, the goal was to make the evaluation and ranking of alternative routes through this largely urban area on the SW coast of Florida as objective and quantitative as possible.  The key was to establish non-direct cost criteria, that is, factors that do have a cost, but the cost is hard to define, and not directly related to construction, therefore identified as “non-direct” costs.  The team collected, combined, and evaluated GIS data from multiple sources (Sarasota County, Charlotte County, City of North Port, FDOT, SWFWMD, FDEP, and property appraisers) into a custom GIS database a GIS Total Model).  Field reconnaissance was performed to augment the GIS data with additional information not available in agency GIS data bases.  The possible route alternatives were prescreened and broken down into manageable route segments for detailed analysis.  Each segment was analyzed for intersections with pertinent GIS information and a calculated score for non-direct cost factors was determined for each segment as well as the comparative direct cost.  The individual segments were then combined into feasible routes providing maximum regional benefit.  The shortlisted routes were then ranked by the resulting score for regional benefit, non-direct cost, and direct cost.  The result was a robust and defensible quantitative analysis and ranking of alternatives for approval of the member utilities.  The development of a GIS Total Model and a quantitative approach to analyzing and assembling route segments provided a defensible selection of the most beneficial route for a new 42-inch potable water regional transmission main through a 32-mile urban alignment with a projected cost of over $200 million.   #boardcertified #environmentalengineering #environmentalscience #wastewater #pipeline #groundwater #wastewatertreatment
