Symposium Description: The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) invites you to the Remediation Technology Symposium – 2008.

This multi-day symposium will present current technology used in site characterization and remediation. The target audience is DTSC cleanup staff, other state and local agency staff, cleanup consultants, interested Brownfields developers, and community members impacted by contaminated sites.

The Symposium will provide a survey of characterization methods needed for successful remedial design, including the TRIAD Approach for both investigation and remediation phases. It will also link characterization methods for successful remedial design with in-situ chemical remediation. Methods will include: Membrane Interface Probe (MIP) for remedial design data; treatment walls, oxidation methods, and in situ reductive methods. The second day will cover in-situ bioremediation, in-situ thermal treatment, and ex-situ treatment including: Soil Vapor Extraction and Pump and Treat. The second day will conclude with a Panel Discussion. The third day will include field demonstrations by vendors of equipment and products at a Sacramento location

This symposium is free and open to the public. It will be offered live in Sacramento and by webcast. It will be available later on DTSC’s webpage and on DVD. Registration is required for on-site attendance, and space is limited to 250 persons. Webcast attendees are encouraged to register as well to receive notification of future symposia and information updates. May 16, 2008 is proposed as a day of field demonstration of equipment and technologies. It will not be webcast and will be limited to the first 200 persons that register.
