Please note: This course is open to DTSC staff only. If you would like to attend a similar class please email or call us to request a course offering in your area.

Overview: This course provides participants with an improved understanding of soil, vapor, and groundwater remediation technologies, their applicability, and limitations. Sixty-four presumptive remedies for organic and inorganic contaminants in soil, vapor, and groundwater will be presented. The Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable (FRTR) screening matrix provides a foundation for the course sections. Participants will learn effective soil, vapor, and groundwater remediation strategies, and the strengths and weaknesses of each technology.
