Description: In this 2-day course, attendees will learn the basic principles of contaminant geohydrology, fate and transport, and groundwater remediation. This course will cover the scope of the groundwater contamination problem in the United States, the drivers that mandate addressing these problems, and the technical constraints and practical solutions to remediate these problems. Participants will be exposed to basic concepts of hydrogeology and contaminant transport in groundwater. Participants will also learn the status of remedial technologies employed by remedial practitioners to cleanup groundwater contaminated with the most common inorganic, organic and persistent contaminants such as fuel hydrocarbons, metals, 1,4 dioxane, perchlorates and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Case studies and active engagement with the attendees will be used to reinforce the points presented in lecture. Understanding the topics covered will provide attendees with a current and better-informed perspective on the practice of groundwater investigation and remediation.
CEC's: 13 Technical CEC's
Intended Audience: This course is refresher training for scientists and engineers engaged in remedial planning and implementation and as a comprehensive overview of regulations, policies, and remediation practices for non-technical facility managers, municipal planners, real estate developers, and attorneys that employ environmental remediation professionals to support their respective projects and clients.

About the InstructorMichael Taraszki
 A Professional Geologist and a Certified Hydrogeologist in California, Mike has been performing hydrogeologic investigations since 1992 and managing multi-million dollar projects since 2008 (as a Project Manager Professional since 2010). Most of his experience has been in southern California but has also worked in northern California, Nevada, and New Hampshire. He has provided technical, legal, and strategic project support for clients with soil/groundwater remediation projects; performed site- and basin-scale hydrogeologic assessments; conducted aquifer tests to assess hydraulic parameters; constructed numerical and analytical groundwater flow models and mass transport models to support remedial designs; evaluated water chemistry data (including stable isotopes) to facilitate development of conceptual models of groundwater flow systems; modeled contaminant transport in the vadose zone; and installed/developed extraction, injection, and monitoring wells and piezometers. His experience includes projects conducted for large-scale industrial and manufacturing clients, local and regional water resources and environmental agencies, and federal DoD agencies (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force). Mike has a BS in Geosciences from Penn State University and a Masters in Geology/Hydrogeology from the University of South Florida.
