Soils and Site Evaluation for Septic Disposal Systems and Stormwater BMPs

October 7, 8, 14 or 15, 2010

Every day, you will spend equal time moving between lectures in the classroom to soil pits in the field, evaluating soils using your eyes, hands, and nose. You will observe, record and evaluate the site-specific soil characteristics required to write and support a complete soil log, as well as evaluate the soil and landscape data to determine design input. Most importantly, you will develop the necessary tools to determine whether a site is right – legally and practically -- for a septic system or stormwater runoff Best Management Practices (BMPs) facility.

Be prepared to leave with mud on your boots!

In just three days, you will learn: • Fundamentals of soil-forming processes and soil water movement – the core skills for wetland design, soil remediation and septic installation; •

The difference between infiltration and percolation; and,

•

How to be more efficient and effective in choosing where to test and site BMPs and septics.

To give you a real feel for the soil, you can choose to extend your training with field trips to the plains of Burlington County or the hills of Morris County, or both! Please be sure to bring your own soil-probing tools, and dress appropriately for hands-on activities in soil pits!

NOTE: Munsell Soil Color Charts are strongly recommended for this course. Purchase one on your own, or through our office for $125.

Featured Topics: • Soil Physical Properties: Soil Texture & the Textural Triangle • Soils and Geology of New Jersey • New Jersey Regulatory Requirements for Site Evaluation • Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) • County Soil Survey Reports and Web Soil Survey • Soil Physical Properties: Soil Structure, Texture and Color • Soil Physical Properties: Coarse Fragments and Consistence • Permeability Testing and Unique Local Soil Formations • Perched Water and Indicators of Seasonal High Water Tables • Soil Morphology of Septic Effluent • Soil Suitability and Safety in the Pits • Infiltration: What Works and What Doesn’t • Field Determination of Mottling (Redoximorphic Features) • Horizon Nomenclature / Restrictive Horizons • Tips for Writing and Reviewing Soil Logs Health Officers/Registered Environmental Health Specialists The health and safety of the public depends on your site evaluations. As a permit provider, you must be familiar with all aspects of soil science to make a reliable assessment. Learn some of the warning signs in soil profiles and soil logs. Increase your efficiency in the field while earning continuing education credits towards your HO/REHS license.

Engineers and Scientists In today’s economy, every decision must be precise and cost effective.

Clients are demanding accurate soil evaluations and will search for the most qualified provider. Back up the services you provide with the expertise gained from attending our course. Using the Soil Survey (now online!) is only the initial step. With the growing number of malfunctioning infiltration basins, identifying on-site soil characteristics, understanding soil processes, and interpreting results are essential to avoiding costly design revisions.

Faculty Coordinator Marilyn Mroz, PE, President of Cushetunk Technical Services, Inc. and former NRCS staffer, has a unique gift for soils instruction while standing nose-deep in a soil pit. She will be assisted by a team of soil scientists from around the state.

Stormwater Management September 29, 30 and October 1, 2010 $825 registration fee; $775 multiple Course Code: EW0302CA11 Managing stormwater runoff is becoming more complex every day. In order to comply with New Jersey’s statewide stormwater management rules, all types of professionals, including engineers, project reviewers, and developers need to acquire broader knowledge and new skills.

This three-day course is designed to address these needs by presenting the most pertinent and up-to-date information on the scientific and regulatory aspects of stormwater management in New Jersey.

The course will cover the content of New Jersey’s Stormwater Management Rules, including those portions dealing with groundwater recharge, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), nutrient removal and stormwater quantity control.

Presentations on the NJDEP’s BMP manual, the New Jersey Groundwater Recharge Spreadsheet (NJGRS) and Nonstructural Strategies Points System (NSPS) will be part of the program. The course will conclude with a discussion of stormwater facility maintenance techniques and the steps needed to develop the required maintenance plans.

Featured Topics: • New Jersey’s Stormwater Management Rules, including groundwater recharge and stormwater quality requirements •

The evaluation, selection and design of appropriate stormwater management practices and facilities

•

The design of groundwater recharge facilities using the NJDEP’s Groundwater Recharge Spreadsheet

•

Methodologies to address the NJDEP’s stormwater quality requirements

• • •

Computation of runoff volumes, rates, and hydrography using NRCS methodologies, including TR-55 How to incorporate maintenance, safety, and aesthetic considerations into facility design The design and evaluation of nonstructural stormwater measures using the New Jersey Nonstructural Points System (NSPS)
