Course
Description
Princeton Groundwater's Remediation Course
is the most comprehensive course on
remediation available. Every aspect of this
important subject is covered, from
three-dimensional hydrogeochemical
characterization, through practical details
of all remediation technologies, to
computer-simulated remedial alternatives
such as Natural Attenuation, Pump &
Treat, Funnel & Gate, Interceptor
Trenches and complete Hydraulic Containment
using barriers and capping. The course also
covers many essential topics which are not
found in any other courses or books. For
example, most professional hydrogeologists
consider heterogeneity to be the single most
important |
|
factor that influences remedial performance. Many
remedial systems have failed because the spatial
variability of the site’s hydrogeology was not
accounted for in the site hydrogeological
conceptual model, yet this topic is not covered in
other courses.
Throughout the U.S. there are thousands of
examples where poor hydraulic and chemical
characterization of an aquifer, source, and plume
have resulted in unacceptable remedial
performance, yet it is uncommon for these topics
to be covered in depth in available remediation
courses and books.
Finally, cost effective designs depend on the
capability to evaluate the feasibility of many
alternatives in a short time. Models are an
important tool in this analysis, yet the software
packages to do this are not taught concurrently in
other current remediation courses. |
Who
Should Attend
The course is designed for groundwater
geologists, engineers, hydrologists, and
microbiologists working as project managers,
regulators or consultants to industry or
government. Some technical background and
experience in groundwater contamination
problems is presumed. Those who have taken
Princeton Groundwater’s The Groundwater
Pollution and Hydrology Course should be
well prepared as this course is the next
step. The emphasis is on acquiring a
comprehensive working knowledge of the
concepts, principles and professional
practices underlying groundwater
remediation. |

Course
Objective
The objective of this course is to teach
remediation from the key methodologies to
collect hydrogeochemical data, through
selecting and designing remediation systems
based on geological and biological effects
and air/water carriers. In addition,
participants will use computers to simulate
remediation hydrology, groundwater pathways,
capture zones, mass transport, natural
attenuation, and alternative remediation
designs. |
 |
|
|
|
|
The Remediation
Course uniquely integrates the topics of
heterogeneous geohydrology, aquifer / source /
plume characterization, remediation technologies
/ strategies / designs, and computer simulation
software.
The result is the premier course on remediation.

Course
Schedule
The class will meet from 8:00 A.M. to 11:30
A.M. and from 1:00 P.M. to 4:30 P.M. Monday
through Thursday with a half-hour break at
9:30 A.M. and 2:30 P.M. Monday extends to
5:45P.M.. and Tuesday extends to 6:30P.M..
Friday begins at 8:00 A.M. and the course
ends at 12:30 P.M. Due to the exceptional
amount of material, there will be two night
sessions on Wednesday (6:00 P.M. to 8:30
P.M.) and Thursday (5:30 P.M. to 9:30 P.M.).
The Wednesday evening session will show
practical case studies of remediation
designs from pilot studies to detailed final
designs. Thursday evening is a hands-on
computer laboratory session where students
will learn remediation applications of
modeling software. Friday morning continues
the hands-on computer laboratory session
from 8:00 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. when the course
ends. |
