groundwater in fractured bedrock, underground storage tanks & hydrogeology courses
DESCRIPTION
Rutgers is offering several environmental training courses in Spring 2013, including Groundwater in Fractured Bedrock on April 2, 2013, Underground Storage Tanks on May 7, 2013, and Practical Applications in Hydrogeology on May 9-23, 2013. Classes are taught by industry experts and NJDEP representatives and are approved for a variety of continuing education credits. See brochure or visit http://www.cpe.rutgers.edu/programs/environmental.html for course details and registration information.TRANSCRIPT
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 oversimplifi ed notions regarding groundwater fl ow 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 and following the NJDEP’s new technical guidance document on groundwater investigation in fractured bedrock (released in March 2012), students will learn practical methods to conduct a expedited remedial groundwater investigation, or re-evaluation of problem bedrock sites. Attendees are expected to be familiar with basic concepts of contaminant hydrogeology.
Please feel free to bring your problem site information for informal class discussion!

InstructorsAndrew Michalski, Ph.D., CGWP, 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 ten years.
Richard Britton, P.G., LSRP, is Senior Vice President of Geological Services 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.

Whether you are becoming certifi ed for the fi rst 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.
Who Should Attend?Anyone working on USTs needs a good understanding of the applicable regulations and guidance, especially tank owners, consultants, engineers, contractors, health offi cers, geologists, soil scientists and attorneys. If you are renewing your certifi cation, you must take a NJDEP-certifi ed course within one year prior to renewal. Professional engineers and plumbing contractors, exempt from the certifi cation examination, must attend the course within one year of certifi cation.

Practical Applications in Hydrogeology May 9, 16 & 23, 2013Fee: $765 Multi-fee: $735 Late fee: $795 (after 4/26) Lab - May 30, 2013 - $225 Course Code: EW0103CA13
From Darcy’s Law to DNAPL, the fi eld of hydrogeology can be mystifying. As an environmental professional, you need to make sense of the scientifi c principles and jargon and, most importantly, put them into practice in the fi eld. This informative program will familiarize you with the theory and practice of hydrogeology, including guiding principles, basic mathematical principles, the identifi cation of problems, the application of diff erent groundwater models, and the limitations of those models. The structure of the course allows you to analyze assigned problems during the week between lecture sessions.
Program TopicsDarcy’s Law – the basic mathematics of fl ow-through porous media• Basic concepts – hydraulic conductivity, transmissivity, well yields• Flow to wells in leaky and non-leaky confi ned aquifers, wells near streams • and boundaries, and the concept of leakageFlow to wells in unconfi ned aquifers and the concept of delayed yield• Determination of hydraulic properties of aquifers, theory and solutions of • aquifer testsThe behavior, transport and remediation of contaminants in porous media• The use of modeling techniques in solving groundwater problems• Geologic and chemical controls on contaminant plume behavior• How to interpret laboratory data• Guidelines for the investigation and remediation of LNAPL and DNAPL• How to design successful supply, remedial, and injection wells• New in situ remedial technology and strategies• Recent advances in understanding of biodegradation of petroleum products • and chlorinated solventsDiscussion of NJ groundwater cleanup standards and the USEPA guidelines • for setting groundwater cleanup criteria
Gain Hands-on Experience!Students have the option of signing up for an optional 4th day of class (May 30, 2013 - additional fee of $225 required) where they will gain personalized instruction devoted to well design and aquifer pumping tests. There will be instruction in the management of pumping test data and the management and evaluation of laboratory data.

Please Note: The NJ Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) regulates Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) and requires the professionals who work on them to be trained, certifi ed/recertifi ed every three (3) years. When a person has notifi ed the NJDEP of a discharge from an UST on or after November 4, 2009, that person must retain a LSRP when addressing regulated USTs. LSRPs may work on unregulated USTs (remediation or otherwise), but LSRPs are not required to be hired to remediate discharges from unregulated USTs. Certifi ed Subsurface Evaluators may still be retained to remediate discharges from unregulated USTs without the supervision of a LSRP. The certifi cations for all other categories of UST services (i.e., installation, closure, tank testing, and corrosion protection) still require the refresher course. The person responsible for conducting the remediation of a discharge from an unregulated UST who uses a Certifi ed Subsurface Evaluator to remediate that discharge is required to employ an individual working for a business fi rm certifi ed in the category of UST subsurface evaluation pursuant to the UST rules at N.J.A.C. 7:14B-16.
