1 A Short Course in Contaminated Fractured Rock Hydrogeology and Geophysics An Eight Hour Geophysics Course Offered Through the Environmental Professionals' Organization of Connecticut Date: Nov 19, Nov 20, 2013 (one-day course, offered twice) Classroom Location: 330 (Nov. 19), 304B (Nov 20) Student Union Building, University of Connecticut, Storrs (Parking at North Parking Garage) Onsite Location: USGS Branch of Geophysics, 11 Sherman Place, Unit 5015, University of Connecticut, Storrs CT (Parking near USGS) Organizers: Dr. Fred Day Lewis (USGS), Dr. Lee Slater (Rutgers University) Instructors: Carole Johnson (USGS), Dr. Gary Robbins (U. Conn.), John W. Lane, Jr. (USGS) Course Summary Contamination in fractured rock presents unique challenges for remediation and clean-up efforts. For example, DNAPL contamination remains a long-term, persistent problem at many fractured rock sites in the U.S. At such sites, contaminant mass often resides in the much lower permeability matrix blocks between fractures (immobile porosity). Fluid samples taken from wells primarily represent the mobile porosity produced by the fracture networks and therefore often fail to accurately quantify contaminant mass. For similar reasons, remedial technologies involving injections of fluids and amendments can be ineffective as they may only reach the mobile pore network. This one-day course will provide environmental professionals, consulting hydrogeologists, and engineers with a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in hydrogeological, borehole geophysical and cross-borehole geophysical techniques for the characterization of contaminated fractured rock aquifers. The course will be taught by a team of experts in fractured rock investigations from the USGS, Rutgers University, and U. Connecticut with examples taken from their work at contaminated federal and industrial facilities across the U.S. The short course will include field demonstrations of a small bedrock well field for USGS research on the U. Connecticut campus. Emerging technologies will be showcased for the characterization of contaminated fractured rock aquifers. 1
