MODERN MANAGEMENT OF RISKS AT LNAPL SITES
2019-03-19 - 2019-03-20 | Québec
Introduction:
A revolution has occurred over the last decade with best practices for managing risks at LNAPL sites.

Ten years ago we were using the thickness of LNAPL in wells to measure remediation progress, we thought that LNAPL bodies only decayed very slowly, and didn’t appreciate the importance of methanogenic reactions or understand how sheens and seeps work. Since then a body of work by top environmental researchers and practitioners, with contributions from both short course presenters, has revolutionized how we think about LNAPL sites and how we should control their risk.
This short course will describe these dramatic changes in the LNAPL world through thoughtfully-designed lectures, interactive question and answer sessions, illuminating in-class exercises, and a lively participant panel discussion.
The foundation of the course is the recent update of: “Managing Risk at LNAPL Sites, 2nd Edition” (Bulletin 18 from the American Petroleum Institute) by Dr. Tom Sale. For the field of remediation, the 2003 1st edition was a best seller. Fifteen years later, critical new knowledge has emerged offering the promise of better LNAPL solutions so that over 80 percent of the cited references in the 2nd edition are new and have been published since release of the 1st edition.
This course is designed to introduce participants to new strategies through new paradigms, emerging technologies, and more sustainable solutions for managing LNAPL sites.

Remarkable opportunities are open today to those versed in modern concepts and tools for LNAPL sites.
Conversely, little time is left for managing LNAPL sites per past practices.
