Course Catalogue.

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

• Understand the phased structure of Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), Risk Assessment (RA) and Remediation requirements
• Support your projects using the necessary Environmental Chemistry knowledge
• Understand the basics of fate and transport of contaminants in porous media
• Construct a Conceptual Site Model and devise a Sampling and Analysis Plan
• Evaluate and select appropriate remediation technologies for contaminated soil and groundwater

Description
The environmental condition of properties is an important issue in redevelopment, financing, and transactions. All stakeholders must be aware of potential environmental liabilities. This detailed three-day course provides information on approaches and methodologies based on Environmental Chemistry required for assessing and remedying contaminated soil and groundwater through the phased structure of ESA, RA, and remediation.

Applicable Environmental Chemistry concepts and principles, along with fundamentals of soil and groundwater properties and fate and transport of contaminants in porous media, will be provided to be employed in the standard procedures outlined in phased structured ESA, including sampling and analysis, Human Health RA and exposure control. Conventional and innovative soil and groundwater remediation methods will be discussed, along with cleanup requirements.

Case examples will be introduced and worked on by participants as the topics are covered.

Who Should Attend
Environmental Engineers and Technologists • Project Managers • Regulatory personnel (federal, provincial and municipal) • Geologists • Consultants and Soil Scientists
