SESOIL and AT123D Massachusetts Training Seminar
MA LSP Course Number: 1385
8 Technical non-DEP Continuing Education Credits

Environmental Software Consultants, Inc.
Presents training on:

Development of
Site-Specific Impact to Ground Water
Soil Remediation Standards
Using SESOIL & AT123D


ABOUT THE SEMINAR
This course will cover the use of the SESOIL and AT123D models. These models were used by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) to develop default soil cleanup objectives. Consultants can use these models to develop site-specific soil cleanup objectives in Massachusetts. Focus will be given to the use of SESOIL and AT123D in the SEVIEW transport and fate modeling software. SEVIEW is used by regulatory agencies and consultants throughout the world, including the MassDEP.

The cost of this one-day course is $350.





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 6.3.

SEVIEW is a comprehensive program that includes both SESOIL and AT123D along with climatic and chemical databases. Results for the SESOIL and AT123D models are presented in graphical reports. SEVIEW links SESOIL to the SUMMERS, BIOSCREEN, AT123D, and MODFLOW/MT3D groundwater models. SEVIEW also links BIOSCREEN to AT123D.

Consultants and regulatory agencies around the world use SEVIEW.

PREREQUISITES
A basic knowledge of the MS Windows is recommended. Modeling experience is beneficial but not required.

Instructors
Michael J. Barden, President
Geoscience Resources, Inc., Albuquerque, NM

Mr. Barden provides consulting on natural attenuation, risk assessments, and soil and groundwater modeling. Mr. Barden was previously a senior hydrogeologist with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) where he was responsible for development of the soil cleanup regulations, application of risk-based corrective actions, and natural attenuation. He also provided technical support on the transport and fate of contaminants and on soil and groundwater modeling. Mr. Barden has worked extensively with U.S. EPA’s Soil Screening Guidance. He is a nationally recognized expert on SESOIL and is a co-author of “The New SESOIL User’s Guide”. Mr. Barden is co-chair of the ASTM task group for developing guidance for remediation by natural attenuation and a member of the National Research Council committee on intrinsic remediation.

Robert Schneiker, M.S., P.G., President
Environmental Software Consultants, Inc., Madison, WI

Mr. Schneiker has been in the environmental groundwater consulting industry since 1982. He is the sole 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 and was selected as the best tier 2 modeling software available by an independent review. 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 in the US. This training is accredited by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and meets specifications of continuing educational credits for the Voluntary Action Program in Ohio. He is a registered professional geologist in Wisconsin.

Michael Kulbersh, LSP, P.HG., C.G./P.G
U.S. Army Corps. of Engineers, MMR, MA

Mr. Kulbersh assisted in the design of the multiple SESOIL source version of AT123D. Mr. Kulbersh has over 20 years of experience in the environmental arena as a geologist/hydrogeologist for CDM Inc./Stone and Webster (Shaw Group Inc.) and most recently at the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers. Mr. Kulbersh is a Licensed Site Professional (LSP) in Massachusetts and a registered geologist in Maine, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania and is also a registered hydrogeologist with the American Institute of Hydrology (AIH). Additionally, Mr. Kulbersh developed and has presented (non-DEP Technical) Course 1290 – Groundwater Flow and Contaminant Transport to the LSP community in June 2005.
