SECTION NEWS Michigan Section Workshop
In honor of the Michigan Section’s 40th Anniversary, the 7th annual technical workshop attendees received commemorative red T-shirts and wore them for the group photo!
The Michigan Section hosted their 7th Annual Environmental Risk Management Technical Workshop June 13-14, 2017 at the Ralph A. MacMullen Conference Center. This year’s sold out workshop in northern Michigan featured the topic - Characterization for Remedy Decisions. Case studies highlighting the latest in characterization techniques including high resolution, modeling, augmented reality conceptual site mod- els, and many more used to make deci- sions for remedies that will mitigate risks and exposure to contaminants. Many different exposure pathways were highlighted including drinking water, vapor intrusion, groundwater /surface water interface, and direct contact with contacts.
A strong theme that the Michigan Section promotes as part of this work- shop in partnership. The section pro- motes partnership among consultants, contaminated property owners, regula- tors, and other interested parties to solve the complicated environmental prob- lems posed by releases of contaminants.
Many of the case studies are presented jointly by the project partners.
In addition to the case studies, a panel discussion focused on the importance of water to business and the economics of risk kicked off the workshop. Field demonstrations featuring laser induced flourescence, vapor pin installation, drone applications, and sediment sam- pling techniques, and augmented reality conceptual site model gave attendees the opportunity to experience these things first hand.
As part of the section’s promotion of partnership, the workshop is structured to encourage networking. The workshop is hosted on the site of a conference cen- ter that was formerly a Department of Natural Resources Camp in the woods. This remote location and the social mixer that the section hosts complete with campfires, refreshments, and an all geologist band create an ideal setting for building relationships. The Michigan Section hosts the workshop during the third week in June every year and invites our AIPG colleagues from sister sections to join us.
