New Technologies for Remediation Site Characterization

2.0 PDHs 

In this EnviroClass, you’ll learn about the advancements in groundwater characterization, remediation optimization, and groundwater basin management. Below is more information about our speakers and what they are teaching on this EnviroClass.

Presenters:

Rick Cramer, Sr. Principal Geologist, Geosyntec Consultants

Janet Castle, President, Eagle Synergistic Optimizing Technologies

Hannah Anderson, Executive Administrator, Eagle Synergistic Optimizing Technologies 

With more than 30 years of experience focused on defining the subsurface heterogeneities that underly complex contaminated groundwater sites, Rick Cramer believes that a representative geologic model and a critical, quantitative understanding of contaminant processes is the most efficient approach to solving complex remediation problems.

During his tenure in environmental consulting, he developed and established the Environmental Sequence Stratigraphy (ESS) technology as a best practice in the environmental industry. ESS is a geology-focused method to define subsurface contaminant migration pathways that dramatically improves CSMs and groundwater remedial design and implementation effectiveness. ESS is the standard for the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) base-wide CSM program and is considered a best practice for CSMs by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Rick received his Bachelors of Science degree in geology from University of the Pacific, and his Master of Science degree in geology from U.C. Davis.

Janet Castle has over 20 years of experience utilizing geophysics, petrophysics, geology, hydrology, and geochemistry to optimize sites. She is a PG and president of Eagle Synergistic Optimizing Technologies which focuses on High Resolution Site Characterization and Subsurface investigations, Remediation, Geophysics, Geotechnical, and more. Other specialized areas of expertise include working with geochemical data to correlate soil and groundwater samples to HRSC subsurface imaging data, including a portable onsite lab grade GC and 3D modeling. As a geologist and petrophysicist, she has developed optimized strategies for various types of sites, including commercial, Superfund, EPA, Oil & Gas, and DOD sites with Eagle’s 8(a) designation. She recently helped upgrade the investigative methods for PFAS sites and is actively engaged in the rapidly evolving world of PFAS science and regulations. Her education is in geophysics and petroleum geology at the University of Houston and Colorado School of Mines.
