DESCRIPTION:

    2 hours

Naturally occurring, or geogenic, contaminants are widespread in New Jersey at concentrations above the NJDEP standards. Discerning whether these concentrations are geogenic or anthropogenic is critical for LSRPs and environmental practitioners. This course reviews State-wide groundwater results from the New Jersey Private Well Testing Act as well as public and private soil and rock studies to enhance participants' awareness of geogenic contaminants. Case studies will develop understanding and practical skills in geogenic contaminant management within the NJDEP regulatory context.

*Please note: PDH's may be considered as qualifying continuing education credit for Professional Engineering, Geology and Land Surveying licensure in New York State in accordance with NYSED Commissioner’s Regulations Section 68.14 (i)(2)(iii). The licensee is responsible to ensure that the course material contributes to professional practice in engineering, land surveying, and/or geology as such practice is defined in sections 7201, 7203 and 7204-a of Education law.
