Applied Hydrogeologic Site Characterization & Monitoring Well Construction for Environmental Professionals
05/13/2008 - 05/15/2008
Austin, TX
This three day training course is intended to introduce environmental professionals to Applied Hydrologeologic principles and prepare the attendee to manage and develop Site Characterization activities. These principles will be presented by the trainer in a clear manner to students who have little to no previous knowledge of hydrogeology. Conceptual real-world discussions and visual aids will help in dispelling common misconceptions of groundwater. Hands on exercises will allow the student to apply this conceptual understanding to practical use. In-class exercises will include calculating hydraulic gradient, flow direction, flow volume, and flow velocity; water table contouring, designing monitoring wells, constructing geologic profiles from well logs, and investigating contaminated sites based on case study data. The course is structured in a manner that the student will be able to understand hydrogeologic reports, prepare work plans and implement field studies. The attendee will further understand regional groundwater hydrology and how it relates to their local environment. The class is intended for environmental professionals who are not hydrogeologists, but would benefit from a practical understanding of environmental hydrogeology.

Sixth International Conference on Remediation of Chlorinated and Recalcitrant Compounds
05/19/2008 - 05/22/2008
Monterey, CA
The technical scope will focus on innovative application of existing and new technologies/approaches for characterizing, treating, and monitoring chlorinated and other recalcitrant compounds in various environmental media. The program will emphasize field applications and case studies, but many presentations will address laboratory, pilot, and modeling studies of innovative remediation and rational site-closure approaches. Presentations will address the full range of technologies—physical, chemical, biological, and thermal—that can be used to remediate sites contaminated by chlorinated solvents, PCBs, pesticides, heavy metals, explosives residues, and other recalcitrant compounds. Risk, regulatory, and site management issues associated with these technologies will be discussed.
