Groundwater Modeling Management and Application for Decision Making course:
The primary Course objective is to teach decision-makers, managers, regulators and others how to recognize, evaluate and then manage sources of model error within a decision-making framework; what can be reasonably expected from modeling analyses; and how to ask appropriate questions of the modeler(s) that make the decision making process an informed one.
The Modeling Management Course is an 8 hour CEU-approved short program for Environmental Professionals with a broad range of skills, but focused on those who makes project- and management-level decisions on the basis of models. This is NOT a model development or calibration instruction course, though even experienced modelers will benefit from exposure to the latest information on identifying and evaluating sources of errors in groundwater (and other) models.
The Modeling Management Course provides a unique opportunity to learn how to evaluate existing groundwater (and other) models, identify their potential for error, and implement methods that can mitigate the impacts of modeling error on decision making and defensible data collection.
Field Methods for Comprehensive Expedited Site Characterization:
This is a comprehensive one and one-half day course designed to enhance professional awareness of advances in methods used to assess environmental impacts resulting from the release of petroleum containing methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and Other Fuel Oxygenates.
Field Course Outline
Day One -
Classroom Session
Is devoted to
classroom style, technical presentations designed to provide students with
detailed exposure to state of the art technologies and field methods currently
being utilized to successfully characterize the impacts of MTBE and other
fuel oxygenates at active gasoline release sites including:
| Expedited
Site Characterization
& Multi-Level Wells |
| Geoprobe
Sampling Issues |
| Field
GC/PID and /MS Methods |
| CPT

(GC/PID and /MS methods for fuel oxygenates) |
| Station
Two - Cone Penetrometer with SmartProbe |
| Station
Three - Multi-level Bundled Nested Well Installation |
| Station
Four - Multi-level Bundled Nested Well Flow Through Cell Sampling (including
field analytics for TEA's and bubble strip sampling for gasses) |
| Station
Five - Pneumatic Slug Testing of Small Diameter Well Points |

MTBE & TBA: Comprehensive Strategies for Assessment and Remediation of Acute Environmental Impacts
Download the 4 hour course prospectus
4 Hour Short Course Info:
| This is a 4 hour CEU short course for the Environmental Professional. You will receive detailed exposure to tested advanced strategies for employing specific methods, processes and technologies for the assessment and remediation of acute environmental impacts stemming from the release of oxygenated motor fuels. |
| Solutions via Applied Science Associates has designed this half-day training course to enhance your professional awareness of all technical issues related to acute impacts of MTBE and TBA. A balanced program offering both theoretical and tested field based examples covering site characterization, remediation, and technology implementation is presented. This course has been approved by several state boards of engineering/geology in fulfillment of continuing education units (CEUs). |
| This class is designed primarily for the environmental professional and their immediate management and technical support staff. However, state regulators, federal project managers, industry representatives, and community stakeholders will benefit greatly from the in-depth technical and case study–based curriculum. |

Spotlighted Course Instructor: Michael Hyman, PhD
Dr. Mike Hyman is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Microbiology at North Carolina State University, Raleigh. Mike has 20 years experience in the characterizing microbial biodegradation processes and the isolation and characterization of novel bacterial strains. Mike holds a B.Sc. from University College, London (UK), a Ph.D. from Bristol University (UK) and an M.B.A. from Oregon State University. Mike has published 50 papers in peer-reviewed journals and has served as PI or CoPI on over $3 million of grant funds. His research experience includes studies on microorganisms active in the nitrogen cycle (nitrifying and nitrogen-fixing bacteria) as well as microorganisms involved in the degradation of chlorinated solvents, fumigants, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, ethers and gasoline components. His current research focuses on the biodegradation of MTBE, TBA and other ethers and the role of cometabolism in hydrocarbon biodegradation processes. Mike has extensive experience in interacting with the environmental engineering community and USEPA and has served as a classroom trainer with the ITRC “MTBE and Other Fuel Oxygenates team” for over 2 years.
