Course Reviews (4.6/5):

Overview: This course provides participants with an overview of the recent technological developments in high-resolution site characterization (HRSC) and environmental molecular diagnostic (EMD) tools as they pertain to optimizing site restoration. The course provides an updated perspective on contaminated site management and how both HRSC and EMD fit into an overall site management strategy.

This course is immediately followed by the Remediation Principles and Technologies course (REM-402) in Renton, WA, May 2 - 3, 2018, which is recommended for those seeking an improved understanding of the sixty-four presumptive remedies recommended by the Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable.
