NICOLA will be welcoming the Interstate Technology Regulatory Council to deliver in person updated LNAPL (Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids) training based on the ITRC guidance: LNAPL Site Management: LCSM Evolution, Decision Process, and Remedial Technologies, focusing on connecting the science to managing LNAPL sites and helping you:
After this training, the expectation is that you will have the skills and understanding to use ITRC science-based resources to improve decision making at your LNAPL sites.
It is recommended that participants have a general understanding of hydrogeology and some familiarity with petroleum contaminated sites. The courses will build on your existing LNAPL knowledge and outline the framework for making LNAPL remediation and management decisions. This is an excellent course for early to mid-years professionals and those of all levels of experience working to manage land on behalf of the oil and gas industry.
Course Content will help practitioners better understand how to:
- To improve understanding related to the LNAPL Conceptual Site model (LCSM) for characterization and addressing site concerns;
- Illustrate how to leverage the LCSM in decision-making throughout the remedial process;
- Establish appropriate LNAPL remedial goals and specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely (SMART) objectives for identified LNAPL concerns that may warrant remedial consideration;
- Select remedial technologies that will best achieve the LNAPL remedial goals for a site, in the context of the identified LNAPL concerns and conditions;
- Describe the process for transitioning from active to passive LNAPL strategies (e.g. Natural Source Zone Depletion – NSZD) as the site moves through investigation, cleanup, and beyond; and
- Evaluate the implemented remedial technologies to measure progress toward an identified technology-specific endpoint.
The training course will be delivered by the following ITRC trainers:
- Jared Champagne: Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality
- Tom Fox: Colorado Division of Oil and Public Safety
- Richard Spiese: Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, Waste Management Division
- Matt Lahvis: Shell Projects and Technology (US)
- Lisa Reyenga: GEI Consultants
