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.
