SESOIL and AT123D Modeling for VAP Certified Professionals

SESOIL and AT123D Modeling for
VAP Certified Professionals

Introduction to SEVIEW 7.1

ABOUT THE SEMINAR
SESOIL and AT123D Modeling ESCI, LLC is offering a four-hour training seminar. The purpose of this course is to demonstrate the use of the SESOIL and AT123D models for the development of site-specific cleanup objectives of contaminated soil under the Ohio's Voluntary Action Program (VAP). Attendees will receive 4.0 hours of PDHUs.

The cost of this course is $150.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

- Hydrogeologists
- Engineers - Regulators
- Project Managers

The overall goal of the course is to provide exposure to practical methods for the development of site-specific cleanup objectives. Those experienced in modeling will benefit from an introduction to the capabilities of SEVIEW 7.1.

The SESOIL and AT123D models were used by the Ohio EPA to develop default soil cleanup objectives. To ensure adequate protection of groundwater quality throughout the state the default soil cleanup objectives were based on the worst case scenario. Essentially the default soil cleanup objectives represent a first cut. Application of such conservative cleanup concentrations would likely result in costly remedial actions that may not be warranted. Environmental consultants can use SESOIL and AT123D to develop site-specific soil cleanup objectives based on site properties. For most locations this will result in higher soil cleanup concentrations while maintaining protection of groundwater quality. In other cases it may indicate that a serious threat to groundwater exists. The SEVIEW software is used by regulatory agencies and consultants throughout the world, including the Ohio EPA.

SEVIEW 7.1
As with the previous course training will focus on the use of the ESCI SEVIEW software. However the capabilities of SEVIEW have been greatly enhanced. New features in version 7.1include:

Graphical depiction of soil and groundwater sources on a base map

Addition of points of compliance

Multiple contaminant sources (any combination of soil and groundwater)

Ability to toggle contaminant sources on/off without rerunning the models

Capabilities to export model results (both data and graphs)

Creation of SEVIEW project files containing all input and output files

Enhanced version of SESOIL and AT123D

SEVIEW can now be used to perform groundwater modeling using AT123D. As with previous versions the SESOIL vadose zone model can also be used on its own or linked to AT123D.

You will receive a course handout of the entire presentation and a certificate of attendance. Although this is not a hands-on course you can contact ESCI to schedule a 1.5 hour phone based training session using the trial version of SEVIEW 7.1

Instructor
Robert Schneiker, P.G., President
ESCI, LLC., Madison, WI
Mr. Schneiker has been in the environmental groundwater consulting industry since 1982. He is the designer and developer of the SEVIEW modeling software that includes enhanced versions of the SESOIL and AT123D models. SEVIEW is used by regulators and consultants around the world, including the Ohio EPA. In 1992 he performed SESOIL modeling for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The results were used to establish baseline regulatory soil cleanup standards protective of groundwater quality. He has presented papers on modeling in the United States and the European Union. Mr. Schneiker has conducted numerous training seminars for consultants and regulatory agencies. Mr. Schneiker is a registered professional geologist in Wisconsin.
