Special topics include Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (LNAPL) remediation (mechanical extraction, chemical treatment in situ, biostimulation), and retail gas station raze and rebuild work in NYC&rsquo;s five boroughs. The laboratory component will cover mapping science topics, including topographic and geologic maps, aerial photograph interpretation using a stereoscope, fire insurance maps, and an introduction to GIS. Laboratory topics also include a full review of minerals and rocks (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic) utilizing the City College geological specimen collections. It will also include hazardous materials basic training as designated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Part of the laboratory time will be devoted to in-class report writing and field-trips to real properties in New York.</div> No publisher Angelo Lampousis, PhD EAS 2011-01-24T17:20:00Z Course http://forum.sci.ccny.cuny.edu/people/science-division-directory/alampousis/environmental-site-assessments-graduate <div>The lecture component of this course will present in detail the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards related to Environmental Site Assessments, and the recently adopted and/or anticipated amendments.
