PFAS, Due Diligence, and Real Estate Development

Milhouse — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 16:21:42 +0000

PFAS, or Per and Polyflouroalkyl Substances, has become a “hot topic” for environmental groups and legislators and other stakeholders, lenders, and property owners. Increased scrutiny has funded more research indicating the overwhelming case that PFAS are indeed the “forever chemicals”. Scientists have identified traces of these chemicals in the blood of almost every person, animal, and waterway on our planet – yet, it is still relatively “unregulated”. With pending legislation in more than one-third of the states, PFAS is creating uncertainty for properties that are being acquired or being assessed for valuation. The recently updated ASTM standard has provided some well-needed standardization, but given the wide range of legislative positions, it is likely to remain an important topic for discussion among environmental consultants, regulators, developers, lenders and attorneys for some time.

It’s Time to Get the Lead Out

Ellen Bremseth — Fri, 23 Sep 2022 13:30:00 +0000

Exposure to lead in drinking water can have devastating health consequences. The safest solution is to remove all lead pipes, fixtures, and solders from our drinking water distribution system. This will require significant planning, funding, community outreach, and political will. We can address this lingering public health crisis with a clear vision for lead-free water systems and a heightened sense of urgency. We must prioritize replacing our outdated lead service lines with modern infrastructure to provide clean, safe drinking water for all. What’s needed now are leaders to ensure it is prioritized and done with urgency to protect the health of our current and future generations.

Milhouse’s VP of Gas Engineering, Samuel Miller, PE, writes a resource for engineers in the design space on how federal and municipal regulations can affect natural gas design. Regulation and Natural Gas Design focuses on four main points: natural gas regulations and historical events, critical factors that affect natural gas design, impacts of variations in regulation, and current solutions to improve information accuracy on natural gas design drawings. It is important that design engineers do their part by understanding the regulations that are in place to best balance cost-effective and safe designs.

Evolution of the Modern Grid

Ellen Bremseth — Mon, 16 May 2022 14:00:00 +0000

As we enter a purely digital world, grid technology is slowly following. New technologies bring accuracy,
speed, decreased costs, and increased capabilities. As with anything the benefits come at a price. Networked systems present an opportunity for cyber-attacks, new testing methods need to be adopted, and there needs to be continuous improvement of storage and upkeep of logic settings for every Intelligent Electronic Device (IED). If recent history tells us anything, the future grid will be 100% digital and smart. The real question that remains is, how long before this technology is fully deployed in the United States?
