brian.oram@wilkes.edu
1) Soils and Infiltration - Field Experience in Measuring and Evaluating Infiltration, Permeability, and Insights into BMP Selection - (1/2 day lecture - 1/2 day field)
2) Soils and On-Site Wastewater Disposal - Field Experience in Evaluating Soil Probes, Surface Hydrology, and Insights into Wastewater Disposal System Selection - (1/2 day lecture - 1/2 day field)
3)Hydrology and Water Quality - Developing a water budget and field experience documenting stream flow, measuring water quality, real-time water quality data collection and retrieval, installing pressure transducers, slug testing, pumping tests, double ring infiltrameters, pan evaporators, and more.
4) Water Well Construction - We will actually drill one new well (bedrock or unconsolidated well) - Review construction standards, material selection, evaluate a camera survey, measure water quality in the field, and develop a groundwater flow map.
5)Private Well Owner Programs - Hydrology, Well Construction, Water Quality, Groundwater, Common Water Quality Problems in YOUR Area. Workshops are set-up customized to the specific water quality issues or concerns for your Group. Many workshops are conducted in coordination with the Carbon County Groundwater Guardians. Workshops have been conducted for county government, local agencies, watershed groups, lakes associations, and other private citizens groups.
Is there something else you may be peak your interest or help your company retrain or train you field staff, let us know. We can coordinate training in the following areas: Laboratory Water Quality Testing and QA/QC, Watershed Assessments, GIS and GPS, Field Geology, Energy Conservation, Wetlands, and more.
