groundwater in fractured bedrock, underground storage tanks & hydrogeology courses

2
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 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! Program Topics 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.

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.

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.

This course is eligible toward PDHs for PennsylvaniaProfessional Geologists and New Jersey Professional Engineers.

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.
