Purpose
The purpose of this seminar will be to evaluate the
interrelationship between key components of the proposed
ground-water monitoring system. These components
include interpretation of the regional and local hydro-
geological systems, monitoring well design, drilling tech-
niques, well construction techniques and materials,
sampling devices and techniques, and data interpretation.
During the seminar impacts of various hydrogeologic
systems will be discussed relative to their effects on
critical components of ground-water monitoring system
design and implementation. Emphasis will be placed on
communicating lessons and experiences gained during
the design and installation of these systems at hazardous
waste facilities.
Speakers will discuss techniques for conducting hydro-
geologic chaiacterizations, monitoring system design,
monitoring well installations, and ground-water sampling
and analysis This seminar will demonstrate the intricacies
and interrelationships of the construction and sampling of
ground-water monitoring systems. It will be a principal
goal of the seminar to identify situations for use of the
various components of the system, highlighting the
positive benefits of each component and its interface with
other system components.
A workbook geared to address problems associated with
determination of hydrogeologic system description and
design of monitoring systems will be available to
attendees. It will include background material on monitor
mq objectives, hydrogeologic systems and principles, the
bel'fwior of ' untair'nants, monitoring tools, site investi-
gallons !'•••• c iiole construction techniques, monitoring
well .if:;; j.i, and sampling and analysis tissues.
T> i seminar will be presented by experts in the field of
design and implementation of ground-water monitoring
systems. Speakers will have practical, hands-on under-
standing of hydrogeologic systems, well design and
installation, sample collection, and sample analysis.
These two-day seminars are intended for those with a firm
background in hydrogeologic investigations and site
characterizations. Presentations will focus on how to
handle problems encountered in varying situations, in-
cluding identification of procedures that can be used in
problem resolution.
The meetings are open to federal and state personnel
responsible for permitting and compliance of hazardous
waste management facilities, as well as facility owner/
operators and their representatives responsible for com-
plying with ground-water monitoring requirements.
Registration and Hotel Information
There is no fee for attending these workshops. Since
registration will be limited to the space available, the
attached registration card should be completed and mailed
as soon as possible. A letter confirming your preregistra-
tion at the workshop of your choice will be sent to you.
