| Gareth
Owen
will lecture on site characterization with a focus on conceptual
model development, field data quality control, and the path
and process of site characterization. Mr. Owen will also lecture
on contaminated site project management issues with a focus
on remedial and risk management planning/costing and remedial
optimization. |
| Jeff
Daniel, P. Eng, P.E. is
a Senior Principal with Geosyntec. Mr. Daniel has over 28 years
of experience in the surface water and environmental fields.
During his career, Mr. Daniel has focused on the investigation
and cost-effective remediation of sediment projects of varying
sizes, including a project in the central US where over 2 million
tonnes of material has been removed and over 5 miles of waterway
restored; the Willow Run Creek Site in Michigan which involved
the removal of approximately 370,000 cubic yards of contaminated
sediments and surrounding impacted soil, and a sediment dredging
design project on the Ottawa River which included dredging of
over 225,000 CY of impacted sediment and dewatering using geotextile
tubes. Mr. Daniel managed a recently completed sediment assessment
and remediation project in West Virginia where a monitored natural
recovery remedy with limited capping was implemented which reduced
the overall cost for the project by over 90% compared to the
initially anticipated cost. Mr. Daniel has presented courses
on sediment management and naturalized restoration in the United
States and Canada. Mr. Daniel will lecture on Sediment Remediation
Technologies and Restoration Approaches. |

Rick
McGregor, M.Sc., MBA, P.Geo, is the President
of InSitu Remediation Services Ltd and has over 28 years’
experience in groundwater and soil assessment and remediation.
Mr. McGregor has worked in over 30 countries and has authored
numerous papers on groundwater assessment and remediation.
He holds a M.Sc. from the University of Waterloo in hydrogeology
and geochemistry and is a Certified Ground Water Professional
in Canada and the United States. Mr. McGregor will lecture
on in situ groundwater remediation techniques and strategies.
Christopher
Pare, P.Geo, is a geologist with Dragun Corporation.
Mr. Pare has 30 years of experience in site assessment and
remediation projects in Canada and the United States related
to contamination in soil, groundwater, surface water, sediments,
and vapours. Mr. Pare utilizes high resolution site characterization
techniques and a wide range of remediation technologies to
help his clients negotiate and achieve regulatory closure.
His experience includes one contentious project that ended
up in a State Supreme Court. Mr. Pare will lecture on ex
situ groundwater remediation techniques and strategies.

Dr.
David Reisman, currently a Senior Consultant and
Technical Advisor and the previous Director, Engineering Technical
Support Center, National Risk Management Research Laboratory,
U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. Mr. Reisman worked
for the U. S. Government from 1976-2012 with the National
Park Service (Park Ranger), the National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (Information Specialist), and in many positions
with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). He served
for several years as a Temporary Advisor to the World Health
Organization (WHO) in Geneva, Switzerland, authored many environmental
health criteria documents for both EPA and WHO, and published
over 50 peer-reviewed journal articles, many in the area of
remediation and mining influenced water treatment. David holds
a Masters Degree in interdisciplinary environmental sciences
from Miami University, and has completed additional graduate
work in engineering at the University of Cincinnati. For over
15 years, David assisted in the development of risk assessment
guidance for the EPA Office of Research & Development
in the waste, ambient and drinking water and hazardous air
pollutants areas. As Director of the EPA's Engineering Technical
Support Center for almost 15 years, David worked on several
hundred hazardous waste sites, conducted treatability and
pilot technology studies, and assisted EPA regional personnel
and contractors in site characterization, soil remediation,
technology selection and treatability study design. David
is the recipient of many Government awards and has received
several medals for his outstanding work in supporting EPA's
regional personnel. Dr. Reisman will lecture on soil remediation
principles, technologies and techniques.

Outdoor
demonstrations of site characterization and remediation
technologies will be held at a location near the course venue from
10 a.m. to 3 p.m. EDT. Full-scale soil and groundwater remediation
technologies, and drilling, geophysical, and sampling and analysis
equipment will be demonstrated. The temperature in early June in
Toronto ranges from 10-22 C. Attendees should have appropriate apparel,
such as rain gear, casual work clothes, and good walking shoes.
Cameras are permitted.
To ensure a quality delivery of information, online participants
will instead be able to view the demonstrations at a later date.
