Introduction
Groundwater
quality is a national priority issue of
immense and ever-growing proportions.
The Federal government has passed
strict, comprehensive and long-term
legislation such as the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA),
the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA), the Safe
Drinking Water Act and the Pollution
Prevention Act. Many state governments
have passed even stricter regulations to
protect groundwater quality and to clean
up currently polluted aquifers. |
 |
|
These
laws and regulations affect all sources of
groundwater contamination, including chemical
industries, gasoline stations, industrial
landfills and lagoons, refineries, hazardous
solid waste management units, municipal and
private solid waste activities, nuclear waste
disposal practices, mining practices and
pesticide/fertilizer agricultural practices.
In addition, many state laws, banks and
insurance companies require groundwater
quality site assessments before commercial
property can be financed or sold. The
magnitude and extent of the problem is
reflected in EPA’s National Priorities List,
which now numbers over 1300 sites, with an
average cleanup cost of over $20 million per
location. This list grows each year as new
sites are added through state and federal
groundwater programs.
Hundreds of lawsuits against private
industries, such as the Woburn, Massachusetts
case involving the leukemia deaths of several
children (documented in the book and film, A
Civil Action), have brought a public awareness
and determination which has rarely been seen
in past environmental issues involving water
and air pollution. A measure of this concern
is the vigorously enforced state and federal
regulations which cover all aspects of the
problem from prevention to cleanup.
The tens of billions of dollars being spent
on groundwater pollution problems in the U.S.
has made it the number one priority among
environmental issues. In Europe, over $5
billion per year is being spent to reverse the
current damage done by groundwater pollution
and to prevent groundwater contamination. |
|
Who Should Attend
The course is designed for groundwater
hydrologists, geologists, engineers, chemists,
environmental scientists, state/federal regulators,
project managers, compliance/regulatory program
managers for industry.
The emphasis is on acquiring an extensive working
knowledge of the concepts, principles and
professional practices underlying groundwater
pollution, hydrology and remediation. Although some
areas are necessarily surveyed in the interest of
time, technical depth is the norm in the majority of
sessions. Like any short course, some experience is
helpful but not necessary as the course teaches
basic principles before dealing with more advanced
topics. The course succeeds in significantly
enhancing the technical skills of all the
participants without losing the neophytes and
without boring those with 15 years of practical
experience. This is the highest rated course in the
industry - no course teaches so much! |
Groundwater Short Courses
The widespread
interest in groundwater has seen the
offering of many two- and three-day training
courses dealing with various aspects of the
problem. There are no one-week
courses (equivalent to 9 afternoons for the Online version of the course) covering all aspects. The advantages of a longer course
include time to cover and absorb more
aspects of this expanding field and the
opportunity for in-depth technical learning.
Groundwater legislation, natural
attenuation, risk assessment, wellhead
protection techniques, multi-level monitoring systems, high resolution site characterization techniques, LNAPLs/
DNAPLs, remediation alternatives, PFAS/PFOS, emerging contaminants and
applications of computer modeling have grown to such
an extent in the last several years that
intensive one-week courses are needed to adequately
cover all of these new developments. |

Most groundwater
professionals prefer in-depth knowledge that they
can apply as soon as they return to work. They
also prefer a 3-ring course binder which is written and
carefully covered in a textbook fashion and which
will serve as a familiar guide and resource manual
after the course. For those who are willing to
take nine afternoons out of their busy schedule, the
course meets these preferences with unparalleled
technical information and applied knowledge.

Course Description
The course is the only 38-hour course being
offered in the U.S. or Europe which comprehensively
covers all aspects of groundwater pollution,
hydrology and remediation from theory to practice. The instructors
are recognized as the top six leading experts and
teachers in the field and collectively have over 200
years of practical experience. The course is the
established standard among groundwater training
courses and for this reason has consistently had the
largest attendance of all courses offered anywhere dealing with groundwater hydrology, contamination and remediation.
Over 1300 pages of lecture notes have been
written specifically for this course.
Practical aspects are particularly emphasized
through the study of illustrative case
histories of groundwater contamination and
remediation developed by
Geosyntec
and others. Based on the results of several
hundred projects, these lectures stress a
practical approach to cleanup which is
acclaimed by industry and regulators alike.
One of the most widespread and difficult
problems in groundwater contamination and
remediation today is dense non-aqueous phase
liquids (DNAPLs). Dr. Cherry will present the
fundamental concepts
underlying the occurrence, behavior and
movement of DNAPLs in sedimentary deposits,
aquitards
and fractured hard rocks. |

The course will also cover the latest theory and
applications of ASTM's RBCA (Risk Based Corrective
Action), including Monitored Natural Attenuation and
Tiers 1, 2 and 3 in assessing groundwater
contamination and establishing cleanup criteria.
Over 1600 slides are shown throughout the entire
course. Among groundwater professionals, the
Princeton Course is considered a must course of
outstanding educational value. |
In-Person 4.5 Day Course Schedule (Same material for the Online version taught over nine afternoons)
With some exceptions, the class generally
meets daily from 8:00 A.M. to
11:30 A.M. and from1:00 P.M. to 4:30
P.M. Monday through Thursday with
half-hour coffee breaks at 9:30 A.M.
and 2:30 P.M. and lunch from 11:30 A.M. to
1:00 P.M. Friday begins at 8:00 A.M. and the
course ends
at
1:00 P.M. with a
break at 10:00 A.M. After a short break,
Monday extends until 6:00 P.M. Due to the
exceptional amount of material, two early
evening sessions will be
held on Tuesday (4:45 P.M to 8:00
P.M.) and Thursday
(4:45 P.M. to 6:30 P.M.). The early Thursday
evening session is Lecture 3 on DNAPLs (
fractured rocks) and also an open session with
Professor Cherry where participants may
discuss particular DNAPL problems and/or the
course material (in the Online version, Professor Cherry as well as all instructors are live in the Q and A sessions after each lecture). |
