CIVE 712 Remediation Engineering
An advanced course on the remediation or cleanup of contaminants present in the subsurface (i.e. vadose zone soils and aquifers). Topics will include: (i) Subsurface characterization (i.e., determining porous media properties and contaminant delineation); (ii) Setting remediation endpoints based on environmental risk; (iii) Predicting natural attenuation of groundwater contaminants using bioenergetics models for the no-remedial-action scenario; (iv) Designing extraction?well arrays for contaminated soil vapor and groundwater recovery for pump-and-treat systems; (v) In situ treatment technologies (e.g., permeable reactive barriers (PRBs), in situ reactive zones; and (vi) Long-term monitoring, performance evaluation, and costs of site remediation.
