The conference, which had its beginnings in petroleum contaminated soils supported by a few interested parties when we first began in 1990, has evolved to encompass a broad range of important contaminants in different media. It has drawn interest from around the world and has been supported by an impressive array of dedicated professionals serving on the Scientific Advisory Board and from other organizations who have provided the necessary resources. Appreciation goes out to the many Sponsors and Supporters who have generously contributed to our conferences throughout the years.On September 15, 2009, The Association for Environmental Health & Sciences (AEHS) announced the official launch of the AEHS Foundation. In order to better define and showcase our scope and breadth of engagement, AEHS activities have moved under the auspices of the AEHS Foundation. Recognizing that the core values of AEHS are fundamentally for the public good and that results rely heavily upon the efforts and energy of our members, it was a natural transition to create a non-profit entity. Moving forward, the AEHS Foundation will continue to build upon a global network and offer members education, training, and scientific experiences. AEHS membership and journals, Amherst Scientific Publishers, and the International Society of Environmental Forensics will also be facilitated by the AEHS Foundation.It is my pleasure to announce that the AEHS Foundation (formerly AEHS) has assumed the management of the International Conference on Soils, Sediments, Water, and Energy which is held annually on the campus of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. This new arrangement will clear up the confusion which has long existed between the two events, as well as enhance the logistical coordination, reduce costs, and provide more resources for pre and post-conference activities. This change will also benefit AEHS Foundation members by offering a special registration rate at the UMass conference in addition to this conference.Attendees who registered for the West Coast conference before March 1st had the opportunity to become a member of the AEHS Foundation for the current calendar year. Members receive either the Journal of Phytoremediation, Human & Ecological Risk Assessment, or Soil and Sediment Contamination as a primary journal (as selected on your registration form). Please note that you have the option to add either or both of the other journals for a fee of $65/additional journal/year. Members will automatically receive hard copies of their journal(s) and online access (including access to back issues). Please see the Foundation website (www.aehsfoundation.org) or contact the office for details.The AEHS Foundation is pleased to announce the continuation of the International Society of Environmental Forensics (ISEF) whose mission is to provide an international forum dedicated to the consolidation and exchange of information related to environmental forensics. The Foundation and ISEF have presented fourteen highly successful workshops on environmental forensics over the past 8 years. Please check our website for future workshop postings.The Foundation and Society are committed to serving its membership and providing an essential forum for ideas, discussion, and debate as well as solutions to a wide array of environmental problems. I hope you find that this year’s conference is one of the ways we fulfill this goal. Sincerely, Paul T.

Grosse, U.S. EPA, Office of Research and Development, Cincinnati, OHIncreasing attention has been given to understanding the impacts of subsurface vapor contaminant migration into overlying buildings. Many of these impacted structures are residences and manufacturing facilities where current and future occupants can face undesirable health risks. The science of determining, characterizing, and manag-ing these risks is constantly evolving and much remains to be done in assisting regu-lators, consultants, and other decision-makers to make informed decisions in assess-ing and mitigating the problem and reducing these risks. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Office of Research and Development (ORD) has been very proactive in providing technical assistance and support to the EPA program office (Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response [OSWER]), EPA regional offices, other federal agencies, state regulators, and other interested parties who are dealing with vapor intrusion issues. As part of this effort, EPA will hold a 1-day workshop that will provide a general update on the status of EPA’s Vapor Intrusion Guidance efforts, as well as information on some of the most recent significant findings and advancements from technical support activities com-pleted to date. This support comes from research studies, demonstration projects, field studies, commercial cleanups, and data analyses. Many of the con-tributors to these efforts have been investigating vapor intrusion for nearly two decades and continue to advance the science of under-standing this vexing problem. Most of the information to be presented during this workshop will focus on the more significant findings contained in the following OSWER–generated documents:Background indoor air Concentrations of Volatile organic Compounds in north american residences: a Compilation of Statistics and implications for Vapor intrusionEPa’s Vapor intrusion Database: Preliminary Evaluation of attenuation FactorsConceptual model Scenarios for the Vapor intrusion Pathway. In addition, information derived from recent and ongoing studies will be pre-sented to complement the main program agenda, including an opportunity for discussion and questions and answers.See http://www.aehsfoundation.org/20th-annual-conference.aspx for the link to the detailed agenda and registration.8:00 Electricity generation from Phenol Biodegradation in microbial Fuel CellsHaiping Luo and Song Jin, University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY; Guangli Liu and Renduo Zhang, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China8:30 generation of Sustainable Biogenic methane from gas-depleted Coal SeamsRobert Craig and Robert Kindle, Alternative Energy & Environmental Solutions, LLC, Sheridan, WY 9:00 making microbial Sense of Carbon Dioxide Sequestration: opportunities for Sustainable Sequestration and Energy gainSong Jin and Patricia Colberg, University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY9:30 Synergism between Semiconductor minerals and microorganisms on Pollutants Degradation and Carbon Dioxide FixationYan Li and Anhuai Lu, Peking University, Beijing, China10:00 Break10:30 urban runoff Strategies: adapting to the mS4 Permit and implementing nPDES regulationsKaren Holman, Port of San Diego Environmental Services Dept, San Diego, CA 11:00 Storm Water 101Kris McFadden, City of San Diego, Storm Water Department, San Diego, CA 11:30 Selection of Statistical Tools to Contrast Enterococcus Bacteria Contamination on Beaches; an application in Santa monica Bay, CaliforniaElizabeth Erickson, Rebecca Chou and Chawn Y.
