Although I’m sure that some of you have these rules memorized from previousCLU-IN events, let’s run through them quickly for our new participants.

Please mute your phone lines during the seminar to minimize disruption and background noise. If you do not have a mute button, press *6 to mute #6 to unmute your lines at anytime. Also, please do NOT put this call on hold as this may bring delightful, but unwanted background music over the lines and interupt the seminar.

You should note that throughout the seminar, we will ask for your feedback. You do not need to wait for Q&A breaks to ask questions or provide comments. To submit comments/questions and report technical problems, please use the ? Icon at the top of your screen. You can move forward/backward in the slides by using the single arrow buttons (left moves back 1 slide, right moves advances 1 slide). The double arrowed buttons will take you to 1st and last slides respectively. You may also advance to any slide using the numbered links that appear on the left side of your screen. The button with a house icon will take you back to main seminar page which displays our agenda, speaker information, links to the slides and additional resources. Lastly, the button with a computer disc can be used to download and save today’s presentation materials.

With that, please move to slide 3.

Potential monitoring application

• Leaches under LANDFILLS

• Fuel leaks from GAS STATIONS

• Leaks HAZARDOUS WASTE from tanks, storage lagoons and sensitive factories of potential pollution

• On line monitoring and control of REMRDIATIONefficiency

* The monitoring system may be installed under existing active facilities with minimal disturbance
