This course is part of a series and is preceded by the Fundamental Contaminant Chemistry Workshop (CHEM-403A), October 25, 2010, and the Contaminant Chemistry and Transport in Soil and Groundwater Workshop, October 26 - 27, 2010. Attendees are encouraged
to request the full workshop series when registering. Courses will begin each day at 8
A.M. and end at 5 P.M. Attendees will be given the opportunity to apply the course
Intended Audience: This course is intended for environmental professionals seeking
an improved understanding of the science and best practices associated
with implementing monitored natural attenuation.
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand and apply the core principles of natural attenuation policy and science during the remedy selection process;
- Select appropriate water quality parameters for analysis and understand the relevance of each parameter with regard to natural attenuation processes;
- Determine whether site geochemistry is favorable for natural attenuation;
- Assess whether geochemical changes suggest that natural attenuation has occurred in the past;
- Understand microbial processes and how to enhance them for improved biodegradation rates; and
- Compile and present site data to demonstrate whether monitored natural attenuation is a reasonable remediation strategy for a contaminated site.
Prerequisites: Familiarity with general contaminant chemistry and transport is essential. Completion of CHEM-403A and CHEM-403B or similar coursework is strongly recommended.
Course Materials: Attendees
will receive a binder containing workshop proceedings and reference material.
Continuing Education Units: 1.5 CEU's
Registration: Early bird rate $545/$445 until July 16, 2010; $595/$495* thereafter

What to Bring: Pen
or pencil, scientific calculator, coffee mug, and a water bottle (to reduce waste). Please wear comfortable clothes
appropriate for the prevailing weather. Lunch will be on your own. There are numerous restaurants within walking distance. Drinks and snacks will be provided each day.
About the Instructor: Erick McWayne has over fifteen years experience with soil, groundwater, and geophysical
investigations for the characterization of contaminant transport and fate, and remediation; and has been teaching contaminant chemistry, transport, natural attenuation, and hydrogeology for the past nine years.
As an environmental consultant, Mr. McWayne served as a project manager for
remedial investigation and feasibility studies at numerous Department of Defense
and other contaminated sites.
He currently serves as Executive Director of the Northwest Environmental Training Center and teaches workshops in transport and fate, environmental chemistry,
and hydrogeology across the country.
