HSL for Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Soil and Groundwater - a Refresher

The HSLs and the NEPM have been out for over 5 years. The HSLs at the time were considered ground-breaking as it was the first set of semi-site-specific screening criteria published in Australia. The application of the HSLs were noted to be more complex than previous screen criteria used. A series of training sessions were run in 2013 with the release of the NEPM to assist consultants and industry learn how to properly use the HSLs and the pitfalls to avoid. This session is a truncated version of the training as a refresher for those who participated in the original workshop and as a good introduction for those new to the industry.  We will conclude the session with an audience driven question and answer session.
