Two of RVE’s thought leaders took the stage to present on critical issues facing the industry:

Creating a Stormwater Authority—Everything You Need to Know
Presented by: Vanessa Nedrick, PE, MSEM (co-presented with Warminster Municipal Authority)

In this session, Vanessa explored the complexities of establishing a stormwater authority. Partnering with the Warminster Municipal Authority, she discussed the strategic steps necessary for forming and managing a stormwater authority, including administrative, engineering, regulatory compliance, funding and long-term planning. With stormwater regulations becoming increasingly stringent, Vanessa’s insights proved invaluable for municipalities looking to improve flood control, water quality and infrastructure resilience.

Getting the Treatment Right—Pilot Study for an 80 MGD PFAS Surface Water Treatment Plant
Presented by: Mark A. Hubal, PE, BCEE

Mark took on one of the most pressing issues in water treatment today: PFAS contamination. His presentation focused on a groundbreaking pilot study for an 80-million-gallon-per-day (MGD) surface water treatment plant designed to address PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in drinking water. Mark provided a detailed overview of the study, from conceptual design to operational testing, demonstrating the innovative approaches used to ensure safe, clean water. The session sparked significant interest as PFAS remediation remains a top priority for water authorities across the country.
