by Christopher M. Palmer

This second edition features new and expanded coverage of contaminant hydrogeologic investigations. It presents a practical approach to completing investigations and stresses the basics of collecting data that can withstand regulatory scrutiny and achieve remediation. Based on "real world" problems, Principles of Contaminant Hydrogeology, Second Edition focuses on applications, and in particular on applications to small- and medium-sized firms, for which speed, accuracy, and cost are all crucial factors in the site assessment and closure process. It takes you step-by-step through the investigation, and includes client-consultant-regulator interaction, budgets, ethics, and data extrapolation for solving problems.
