ESCI 453: Science and Management of Contaminated Sites
Using site documents and the Model Toxics Control Act, decisions will be made on how to clean up a Washington State contaminated site. Included in this process will be discussions on the methods used to characterize the extent of chemical contamination and available remediation techniques. Economic, social, regulatory, and scientific considerations will be included. A proposal for cleanup in the form of a Cleanup Action Plan (CAP) and a proposal for work to be conducted in ESCI 454 will be produced by students.
Offered in 7 of the 26 listed terms (Winter 2021 to Winter 2027).
