May 14 @ 9:00 am - 4:15 pm

$75 – $250

We hope you can join us at the Westford Regency Inn and Conference Center in Westford, MA on Wednesday May 14 for a hands-on workshop exploring site characterization techniques. Through presentations and interactive demonstrations, participants will learn about soil, groundwater, soil vapor, and hydrogeologic data collection, including high-resolution site characterization (HRSC) tools. The afternoon features hands-on rotations demonstrating field equipment and HRSC.

Experienced professionals will benefit from revisiting core principles and lessons learned, while new and junior staff will gain valuable foundational knowledge. This workshop also provides a great opportunity to network with state regulatory staff and consultants.
