A Comparison of Groundwater Sampling Methods

ABOUT THIS WEBINAR:
Purging and sampling methods and protocols have evolved over the past thirty years, from 3 – 5 well volume purging to low-flow purging and sampling to "no-purge" and passive sampling approaches. This webinar provides an overview of these various groundwater sampling methods and technologies and examines the benefits and limitations of each. The presentation includes guidance on the suitability of various purging and sampling methods for different hydrogeologic settings and monitoring program types.

PRESENTATION WILL INCLUDE:
• History of traditional purging methods
• Problems with the traditional methods
• Purging evolution: low-flow purging and sampling
• Low-flow samples: what do they represent?
• Advantages of low-flow purging and sampling
• Passive and No-Purge sampling methods and devices
• Passive and No-Purge: advantages and limitations
• Comparison of LFPS and Passive/No-Purge methods
• Monitoring well bias and limitations
• Multi-level sampling systems – advantages and limitations

WHO SHOULD ATTEND? 
• Facility Environmental Managers
• Engineers
• Environmental Specialists
• Plant Utility Workers
• Engineering Firms
• Operating Firms
• Consultants and Regulators

A question and answer session will immediately follow the presentation.  An expanded presentation file will also be available.

About the Presenter:

David Kaminski is Senior Vice President of QED Environmental Systems and a frequent presenter on groundwater sampling technology to organizations, universities, and regulatory agencies worldwide. He has been awarded four U.S. patents for developing new devices and methods for groundwater sampling applications and is an instructor at the Princeton Groundwater Pollution & Hydrology course (www.princeton-groundwater.com)

Over the past 30 years, he has published several papers on groundwater sampling practices and sampling system design and has presented these topics at over 100 conferences, seminars and field courses. Now, he will be sharing his knowledge in the field of groundwater monitoring and site investigation tools with all who attend the webinar.
