A Preview - The In-Situ Aqua TROLL 600 Multi-Meter

A Preview - The In-Situ Aqua TROLL 600 Multi-Meter   "It doesn't matter if the glass is half full or half empty  if you think you can make a better glass." - Unknown   If you've been reading my newsletters over the years you'll know periodically we review various environmental equipment for environmental sampling.  We've reviewed most of the popular water quality multi-meters on the market. Back in 2014 we reviewed In-Situ's SmarTroll. I concluded at the time that, although it did not meet everything I could wish for in a meter, it was a very good meter and at the time my favorite meter. You can review that article  here . Things have changed, and I now have a  new favorite meter. It's the  Aqua TROLL 600 meter , also made by In-Situ. Last month we took advantage of In-Situ's "try before you buy" demo program. They told us this would be an "early demo" because although the multi-meter itself was complete in its fi...

Groundwater Elevation and Contaminant Levels, Correlation, or Causation.How can you tell?

Groundwater Elevation and Contaminant Levels, Correlation, or Causation.    How can you tell? "The obvious is that which is never seen until someone  expresses it simply." -Kahlil Gibran Over the years I've heard a lot of explanations regarding groundwater elevations and subsequent increases and/or decreases in contaminant levels and the presence and disappearance of free product. I've heard people argue that increasing water levels increase contamination, and I've also heard the opposite. Some people believe that increasing water levels causes free product to disappear and that decreasing levels cause it to re-appear (which is counter-intuitive to a lay person). The question or debate is (all other things being equal): does groundwater elevation have an effect on contaminant levels? Furthermore, does groundwater elevation have an effect on the presence or absence of free product? These are a question of correlation or causation. I've been d...

Game Changer - Remediation May Be Over Rated

Image
"You can't help but... with 20/20 hindsight, go back and say,   Look, had we done something different, we probably   wouldn't be facing what we are facing today." - Norman Schwarzkopf Selecting a remedial approach can be a complicated task. The process is based on identifying desired clean-up goals, sensitive issues that could affect a remediation strategy (e.g. proximity to drinking water wells, surface waters, other sensitive receptors or public perception/relations), and  costs. Each site presents different decisions and uncertainties regarding remediation options. However, the process of deciding which corrective action to take should be relatively the same at each site. The four main steps are 1) delineation, 2) risk evaluation, 3) feasibility, and 4) cost.  The individual parameters and details of each step will differ for each site, but the process will be the same.The companies that understand the process and also work to keep it simple end up...
