The Environmental Benefits of Wash Plants on Long Island

Paul K. Boyce, PE, PG, President and CEO of PW Grosser, is joined by Chris Wenczel, PG, Senior Project Manager and PFAS SME, for part two of their PFAS discussion focused on the liabilities, operational challenges, and regulatory pressures now facing facilities. Chris explains how changing state and federal designations, legacy product use, wastewater pathways, and sampling decisions create new considerations for schools, hospitals, commercial properties, and water suppliers. The conversation highlights the discovery stage the industry is still navigating, the significance of awareness and communication planning, and the technologies and policy shifts shaping what comes next. This episode offers a clear, grounded look at how organizations can evaluate past use, understand potential impacts, and prepare for a rapidly evolving PFAS landscape.

PFAS Landscape Emerging Risks, Enforcement, and Facility Preparedness – Part 2

Host Paul K. Boyce, PE, PG, President and CEO of P.W. Grosser, speaks with Chris Wenczel, PG, Senior Project Manager, about the long history and quiet spread of forever chemicals, per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), across modern products and infrastructure. In Episode 73 Part 1, they trace how firefighting foams, floor finishes, and cleaning practices helped move PFAS from industrial sites into everyday settings. The discussion highlights early gaps in health research, including the reality that serious study did not begin until roughly 2015, and contrasts the current federal drinking water level of 4 parts per trillion with wastewater concentrations reported as high as 229,000 parts per trillion. As Chris notes, “we do not find out that something is harmful until we are down the road and it is already in the environment,” a pattern that shapes how regulators and communities now respond.
