Unexpected Creosote Contamination – When a CSM Isn’t Enough

This session is a case study in what can go wrong even when all the boxes appear to have been “ticked” in your desk study information checklist.  We will go through the desk study information which proves that hindsight is 20/20 and then also summarise the site works and remediation undertaken onsite following on from the discovery of an unexpected area of creosote contamination that was decommissioned and buried with no written record.

We will conclude the session with audience driven questions and answers. Please email me at elearning@landandgroundwater.com with any detailed aspects of the subject you would like to see addressed.
