DESCRIPTION: This 1-day course is intended to provide technical personnel a comprehensive understanding of Long-Term Monitoring Optimization (LTMO), its place as part of comprehensive remediation optimization and its potential cost savings during long-term site operation and maintenance. Basic concepts and terminology will be integrated with hands-on instruction using the Monitoring and Remediation Optimization System (MAROS) software. The course will include a series of detailed case studies and software exercises. Participants will be shown how to incorporate MAROS to help develop robust and cost effective characterization and/or remediation decisions. Course attendees are expected to have a general technical background or understanding of environmental site management and contaminant hydrogeology.

IMPORTANT: This is a computer software course. Participants should bring a laptop and USB drives, although sharing of laptops will be encouraged during the course. The laptop should have the operating systems Win-XP or Vista and Excel 2003, Excel 2007 or Excel 2010 must be installed. A link to the software will be emailed to each registrant following registration and prior to the course. NOTE: There is no charge to obtain and download this software onto your computer.

This course has been approved by the LSP Board for 8.0 hours of "technical" continuing education credits (Course #1438) and will be submitted for CT-LEP and NYPE credits. This is a new course that has not been previously offered.
