On 24 February, a half-day long trip to the Colbert Landfill will be made to look at the hydrogeology and the groundwater remediation strategy at the site. This will usually be done in context with the lecture topic, and follow example problems in the textbook. All of the case studies involve real data, collected as part of real research or consulting projects and from which regulatory policy or decisions have been made. A cover letter should accompany the report. Reports will be graded on the basis of grammar, organization, style and readability, as well as content.
All reports are due in an acceptable form pending an incomplete grade for the course.
