Groundwater in Fractured Bedrock April 12, 2011

Underground Storage Tanks

This one-day course focuses on practical aspects of groundwater in the fractured sedimentary bedrock of the Newark Group (Brunswick Aquifer), where thousands of sites have been impacted by industrial contaminants. Remedial activities at such sites are usually impaired by oversimplified notions regarding groundwater flow and contaminant migration, as well as by the use of inadequate hydrogeologic characterization methods. The course is intended for geologists, hydrogeologists, environmental professionals, licensed site remediation professionals (LSRPs), remediation engineers, regulators, and corporate site managers responsible for the investigation and remediation of complex bedrock sites. Participants will have an opportunity to improve their understanding of the hydrogeologic framework best used to represent sedimentary bedrock sites. Illustrated by real-world examples, students will learn practical methods to conduct a rapid remedial groundwater investigation, or re-evaluation of problem sites. Attendees are expected to be familiar with basic concepts of contaminant hydrogeology.

Groundwater in Fractured Bedrock

Optional Day of Lab Exercises May 26, 2011

• •

• •

Fracture flow basics and differences with porous media Various conceptual flow models applied for groundwater in bedrock, and how their use influences apparent groundwater flow direction, velocities, plume delineation & remediation outcomes at contaminated bedrock sites Dominant role of certain bedding fractures in sedimentary bedrock, and harmful consequences of using inadequate conceptual models of groundwater flow A step-by-step approach to fracture flow characterization, using geological, geophysical, and hydraulic methods at unexplored sites, and sites with numerous wells Expedited characterization of contaminated groundwater in bedrock by means of temporary test holes, in-well flow tracing, flow sampling and packer testing. (Procedures, advantages and pitfalls of this practical dynamic approach to comprehensive bedrock characterization)

Course Code: EW0108CA11 • •

How to conduct remedial investigations and groundwater cleanups at DNAPL and LNAPL Sites Plume delineation and CEA determination at fractured bedrock sites

Instructors Andrew Michalski, Ph.D., CGWP, P.G., LSRP, a Principal at Michalski and Associates, specializes in groundwater consulting. He has over 30 years of academic and consulting experience conducting groundwater investigations at hundreds of sites. In addition to publishing seminal papers on groundwater occurrence and movement in fractured bedrock of the Passaic Formation, Dr. Michalski developed practical bedrock hydrogeologic characterization tools that will be discussed in this class. He received a M.S. in Mine Hydrogeology and a Ph.D. in Technical Sciences from Cracow, Poland, and held senior technical positions with The Whitman Companies, TRC, and the Earth Technology Corp. He also taught an undergraduate hydrogeology course at Rutgers University for nine years. Richard Britton, P.G., LSRP, is Vice President at Whitman, specialists in environmental engineering and hydrogeology. Mr. Britton manages site investigation projects for Whitman and has lectured on, and implemented, conventional and innovative remediation technologies at numerous sites in New Jersey. Mr. Britton received his B.S. in Geology and Chemistry, and his M.S. in Environmental Science from Rutgers University and is the past president of the Association of Engineering Geologists.

Underground Storage Tanks

May 3, 2011

Fee: $265 Multi-fee: $245 Late fee: $290 (after 4/19) The NJ Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) regulates Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) and requires the professionals who work on them to be trained, certified and recertified every three (3) years. Effective November 4, 2009, a regulated UST owner or operator who “initiates remediation” (see N.J.A.C. 7:26C-2.2(b)) on or after this date is required to engage the services of a Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP). The services of a Certified Subsurface Evaluator, or a LSRP for cases that “opt-in” to the LSRP Program, are required for regulated UST remediation initiated prior to November 4, 2009. All other categories of service, including closure, are in place. *For more information and clarification on how the LSRP Program affects UST requirements, please call Wayne Howitz from the NJDEP at 609-984-1351. If you work on USTs, you need this course! Whether you are becoming certified for the first time or just need to recertify, you will get the regulatory information you need to stay current with New Jersey’s UST requirements and help your clients or employer avoid potential penalty liability.

Course Code: EW0201CD11 Who Should Attend? Anyone working on USTs needs a good understanding of the applicable regulations and guidance, especially tank owners, consultants, engineers, contractors, health officers, geologists, soil scientists and attorneys. If you are renewing your certification, you must take a NJDEP-certified course within one year prior to renewal. Professional engineers and plumbing contractors, exempt from the certification examination, must attend the course within one year of certification.
