PFAS Sampling Assistance and Treatment Options
Keystone, Colorado
Project Purpose
AE2S worked collaboratively with Snake River Water District (SRWD) to develop an investigation of the level of PFAS contamination in SRWD facilities and design a treatment alternative to meet the proposed PFAS regulations. In addition, AE2S is assisting SRWD in obtaining CDPHE PFAS SB 20-218 Grant funding.
AE2S developed a three-phase approach which included the development of a Sampling Analysis Plan (SAP), sample collection, and a PFAS Treatment Feasibility Study.
Sampling Analysis Plan
The SAP outlines the methodology and plan for lab analysis. Sample collection will happen over the course of a year and will include sampling at eight wells, as well as two entry points post-treatment.
PFAS Treatment Feasibility Study
The PFAS Treatment Feasibility Study includes identification and analysis of treatment alternatives. The configuration of pressure vessels at SRWD’s Base 3 WTP will be able to accommodate PFAS Treatment. Capital and life cycle costs, as well as site layout options, will be developed for the recommended alternative.
