In this informative session, you’ll receive updates on recently funded Environmental Research & Education Foundation grant research on the generation and origins of leachate management system fouling materials, often referred to as “flubber” or “black goo.” You’ll also learn about prevention and remedial techniques and tools to address both of these fouling materials.
