Contaminated Site Clean-Up Information (CLU-IN): Internet Seminar Video Archives

This presentation introduces the viewer to borehole geophysical tools commonly used in hydrogeologic investigations. These tools include gamma, temperature, conductivity, caliper, borehole video, acoustic and optical televiewers, heat-pulse flowmeter, and borehole deviation. Examples and case studies follow illustrating the usefulness of data obtained through the utilization of these tools, especially when used to design packer tests and multi-level discrete-zone sampling strings...

This is a two-part webinar series featuring presentations delivered at the Spring 2018 FRTR Meeting. The meeting?s goals were to identify and discuss case studies where remediation technologies were successful for a variety of soil and groundwater systems; and to share experiences and lessons learned that contributed to the operation of these successful remediation technologies...

Environmental geophysics investigates the geophysical response to natural and anthropogenic materials, processes, and alterations, which impact human health and ecosystems within the near surface of the earth. This presentation will cover biogeophysics, geophysical characterization and monitoring of contaminant plumes and remediation, groundwater ? surface water interactions, using geophysics for conceptual site model (CSM) development, and online resources soon to be available at epa.gov...

A mishap, as defined by EM 385-1-1, Safety and Health Requirements Manual-USACE-ARMY is any unplanned, undesired event that occurs during the course of work being performed. This includes, accidents, incidents and near misses. Reporting requirements and timelines are specific to the type of incident and are often confused by safety personnel. The result is that many times the required timelines are not met...

Environmental contamination can disrupt life as usual. Community members may feel stress for several reasons, including health and financial concerns. Join this webinar to learn more about stress, how it can affect health, and why environmental contamination can cause it. We?ll offer practical tips and tools for acknowledging stress with community members and helping them cope...

Sites contaminated with dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) and DNAPL mixtures present significant environmental challenges. Despite the decades spent on characterizing and attempting to remediate DNAPL sites, substantial risk remains...

This Superfund Research Program (SRP) Progress in Research webinar series highlights promising research from SRP Centers awarded grants in 2017. In this session, awardees Boston University, Texas A&M University, and University of California, Davis, will describe their research projects, accomplishments, and next steps. The Boston University SRP Center explores the long-term impacts of early life exposure to Superfund chemicals in humans and wildlife...

Chemical contaminants in soil and groundwater can volatilize into soil gas and migrate through unsaturated soils of the vadose zone. Vapor intrusion (VI) occurs when these vapors migrate upward into overlying buildings through cracks and gaps in the building floors, foundations, and utility conduits, and contaminate indoor air. If present at sufficiently high concentrations, these vapors may present a threat to the health and safety of building occupants...

Optimization activities can improve performance, increase monitoring efficiency, and support contaminated site decisions. Project managers can use geospatial analysis for evaluation of optimization opportunities. Unlike traditional statistical analysis, geospatial methods incorporate the spatial and temporal dependence between nearby data points, which is an important feature of almost all data collected as part of an environmental investigation...
