EnvE 326
Environmental Site Assessment
Description
Protection of human/ecological receptors from contaminant exposure. Key topics: risk management frameworks (guideline setting/use of standards for air, water, and soil); environmental investigation strategies (sample program design and collection techniques, data interpretation); environmental site assessment standards; conceptual contaminated site modeling; contaminant transport calculations. Case studies.Prerequisite: ENV E 220. Credit cannot be obtained for both ENV E 322 and ENV E 326.
Learning Outcomes
- Use risk management frameworks to identify quality standards and endpoints for environmental design processes.- Describe common sources of subsurface contamination and associated contaminant characteristics.
- Explain the purpose and general methodology of Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments (ESA).
- Design an ESA plan to investigate a contaminated site.
- Use environmental investigation protocols to design sampling programs, guide sample collection, and data interpretation.
- Develop a conceptual site model through the preparation of soil cross sections, groundwater elevation contour maps, groundwater flow calculations, and contaminant transport calculations.
