Subject Matter Expert: Mark Knarr, P.E., CDT, CEM, LEED AP BD+C, PMP, CCEA, GPCP
In In-Situ Groundwater Bioremediation, you'll learn ...
- What is in-situ groundwater bioremediation and how does it work
- Advantages and disadvantages of in-situ groundwater bioremediation
- Site characteristics and constituent characteristics that influence the potential effectiveness of in-situ groundwater bioremediation
- How to quickly assess whether in-situ groundwater bioremediation will likely be effective at a particular site
Overview
To meet the Ohio Board's intent that online courses be "paced" by the provider, a timer will be used to record your study time. You will be unable to access the quiz until the required study time of 150 minutes has been met.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency confirmed nearly 3,000 new releases from underground storage tanks (USTs) during fiscal year 2010, bringing the cumulative total to 491,572 releases since 1984. Although progress has been made in cleaning these sites, over 96,000 of them still require remedial action. These UST leaks pose a grave threat to human health and the environment by contaminating groundwater and soil.
This course provides an overview of in-situ groundwater bioremediation, which can effectively degrade organic constituents that are dissolved in groundwater. The course is intended for engineers who wish to expand their knowledge of alternative methods of groundwater treatment.
Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Initial and detailed evaluation to determine viability of in-situ groundwater bioremediation
- Influence of site characteristics: hydraulic conductivity, soil type, microbial presence, and groundwater properties
- Influence of contaminant characteristics: chemical structure, toxicity, and solubility
- Placement of extraction, injection, and monitoring wells
- Phases of operation: start-up and normal
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 20 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
