Dear all
I would like to draw your attention to a conference to be held at the BGS
in Keyworth on the 9th April 2002 titled:
NAPL CONTAMINATION: INVESTIGATION AND REMEDIATION
This one day meeting (schedule below), organised by the Hydrogeological
Group of the Geological Society, will bring together both the practical and
theoretical aspects of NAPL contamination. This conference gives a
tremendous opportunity for those in this profession to benefit from hearing
many of the most prominent practitioners and theoreticians in this field.
Four main topics will be covered during the day, source zones,
physiochemical properties, remediation approaches and the risk and economic
aspects. This meeting should be applicable to anyone with an interest in
non-aqueous phase liquid contamination of soil or groundwater.
Pre registration is essential as lunch will be provided. To register for
the conference you should send your contact details and a cheque made out
to the Hydrogeololgical group of the Geological Society for 15 pounds (geol
soc member) or 25 pounds (non member) to cover lunch and refreshments to
Ruth Davison, Golder Associates, Landmere Lane, Edwalton, Nottingham, NG12
4DG, [log in to unmask]
