There are tools – and then there are Scorpion tools, the rock-solid, dependable machines every drilling and mining operation needs for success. Visit Booth 218 to see the Scorpion hydraulic makeup/ breakout tongs that can breakout tools and joints, easily service DTH hammers, and keep your business running – faster and safer than manual tools. After all, time is money. See how Scorpion can save both.

Welcome to the 2012 Groundwater Expo Welcome to the 2012 NGWA Groundwater Expo. This is the premier event for the groundwater industry, so immerse yourself into the Expo experience. The beauty of the Expo is that it is vastly different from year to year, but can still feel the same. By this I mean that there is comfort in seeing distant friends, picking up as though only a day has passed instead of a full year. But then there is anticipation of meeting new friends. There is the opportunity to visit the Exhibit Hall floor, to question the status quo, to ask the difficult question, to hear from the decision maker the rationale for the “why,” and, finally, to determine what are the real opportunities for your business. The Expo is education. Whether sitting in a class, discussing issues in informal sessions, or “complaining” in down time, the Expo is the perfect setting to listen, learn, question, and resolve. The Expo is your opportunity to be actively involved in the National Ground Water Association. Please register as a delegate and come to the Delegates Meeting. Please participate as an active member. And please exercise our wonderful American privilege—vote. The Expo is all about interaction. Welcome. Enjoy.

John W. Pitz, CPI

Smith electing to sponsor him in 2009. In spite of his successes—on and off the links—Gainey’s work ethic, commitment to family, and desire to give back to fans is both honest and refreshing. It’s something not typically seen in today’s ego-driven, look-at-me sports world. Gainey will be joined by his friend and one of golf’s most entertaining personalities, Golf Channel analyst and former PGA Tour professional, Charlie Rymer. Rymer is host of the Golf Channel show “Morning Drive” and is very familiar with Gainey’s personal story.

NGWA’s Hydrogeologic Guidelines for Large-Scale Geothermal Heat Pump Installations Tuesday, December 4, 1:30–2:30 p.m., Room N 116 1 CEP

NGWA has a strong interest in the growing use of geothermal heat pump systems and wanting these systems to work well, while protecting the groundwater resource from contamination. Association volunteers developed simple, yet responsible guidelines for conducting an appropriate hydrogeologic investigation of a site being considered for a large-scale (commercial) geothermal heat pump installation. NGWA considers guidelines to be the “how to” or methods on a broad topic—more detailed than a best suggested practice in terms of needed skills and competencies. The purpose of the guidelines is to provide guidance on how to determine the hydrogeologic properties of a proposed site and how the HVAC system designer can use that hydrogeologic information in the design, and how the design can then be more useful in developing the specifications of the project, ultimately resulting in optimal system performance and groundwater protection. This is of special interest to the Geothermal Energy Interest Group. Presenter—Kevin B. McCray, CAE, National Ground Water

An Innovative Air-Rotary Drilling Technology That Lets You Drill Right Through Caving Overburden Tuesday, December 4, 9:15–10:15 a.m., Room N 103 1 CEP

Many bedrock formations have a thick overburden composed of sand, silt, clay, and remnant boulders of the bedrock. Often, this overburden is unstable and caves in before casing can be installed in the borehole. A drill rig that can advance a steel casing with the air-rotary drill bit can overcome these caving overburden conditions. The casing keeps the hole open, while the hammer bit drills through the boulders in the overburden. This technology is applicable to drilling water supply wells and to drilling geothermal boreholes in a loop field. Presenter—Todd Giddings, Ph.D., PG, Todd Giddings and

Improving Water Well Management: Pulling It All Together Tuesday, December 4, 9:15–10:15 a.m. , Room N 115 1 CEP

Regardless of region, water supply and water quality are affected by many common site characteristics and land use patterns. Most fouling within well systems occurs as a result of biological and mineral accumulations, usually involves some level of physical blockage, and is frequently a result of site specific and regional characteristics. Common well problems exist due to the character of the source water, well design, and usage patterns. Water monitoring and site assessment can be valuable tools to identify changes. Knowledge of some interrelationships between land use, its effect on groundwater and surface water interaction, and its impacts on aquifer recharge may assist water managers in anticipating stressors and demands on their water systems.

Hydraulic Fracturing: A Litigator’s Perspective and What Your Business Needs to Know About Potential Liability Tuesday, December 4, 4–5 p.m., Room N 108 1 CEP

This presentation addresses the potential impact of hydraulic fracturing on potable water supplies from the unique perspective of a litigator defending energy companies against allegations of personal injury, property damage, and medical monitoring. Lawsuits alleging exposure to hydraulic fracturing fluids, chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing process, and naturally occurring compounds (including manganese, iron, and radon) are becoming more common, capturing the attention of plaintiffs’ firms big and small. The presentation will further address preventive measures that can be taken to avoid groundwater contamination and potential civil (and regulatory) liability. Best practices for water use will also be addressed from a litigator’s standpoint. Presenter—Nathan B. Atkinson, Spilman Thomas & Battle

Real-Time Monitoring System for Evaluating Long-Term Variability in Methane in Domestic Water Wells in Pennsylvania Thursday, December 6, 10:30–11 a.m., Room N 101/102 0.5 CEP

Naturally occurring methane is present in many domestic water wells in northeast Pennsylvania. A significant amount of data is currently being collected from baseline sampling conducted prior to any drilling activity. However, gaps remain in understanding the natural temporal variation in methane concentrations in these wells. This is of significant importance in assessing claims of gas migration when there is nearby anthropogenic activity. This presentation will discuss a research project implemented to gain an understanding of the long-term variability of methane in domestic water wells. Real-time remote monitoring and data trend analyses are being used to understand natural dissolved methane fluctuations in groundwater and correlations between methane headspace concentration in the well annulus and other physical and chemical

parameters that could correlate to changes in headspace concentration. Barometric pressure, water use, water quality, well recharge, water-level fluctuations, and pump cycling are examples of the variables monitored. Initial results will be presented. Presenters—Charles B. Whisman, PE, Denise N. Good, PE,

and Richard Wardrop, PG, Groundwater & Environmental Services Inc.; Debby McElreath and Charles Olmsted, PG, CPG, Chesapeake Energy Corp Selecting a Dissolved Oxygen Sensor and How to Collect the Best Data Tuesday, December 4, 2:45–3:45 p.m., Room N 115 1 CEP

There are several different types of dissolved oxygen sensors available for groundwater sampling and monitoring. The sensor options include polarographic, galvanic, and optical. Each sensor type detects dissolved oxygen using different methodologies; therefore, there are several advantages and disadvantages associated with each sensor type. An understanding of how these sensing methods differ can help determine which sensor is best suited for a specific application, particularly when there are certain contaminants present in the water. This workshop will explain how each technology measures dissolved oxygen, the advantages and disadvantages associated with each, and how to collect accurate, reproducible data. Presenter—Laura St. Pierre, YSI Inc.

Using NGWA Best Suggested Practices to Address Water Quality Issues Tuesday, December 4, 1:30–2:30 p.m., Room N 115 1 CEP
