Tier 2 Training Workshops

This workshop, taught by co‐authors of the Alberta Tier 2 Soil and Groundwater Remediation Guidelines, offers guidance and practice in the calculation and application of Tier 2 guidelines. The training provides opportunities for identification and discussion of technical and process issues related to Tier 2, data evaluation and hands‐on modelling of Tier 2 guidelines. Participants are assumed to have a working knowledge of the Tier 1 & 2 guidelines.

The material covered in the workshop comprises: an overview of the Tier 1 & 2 guidelines; presentation of the technical methodology, process and regulatory requirements for Tier 2 guideline adjustment; discussion of data requirements for Tier 2 and how to ensure data are appropriately collected; demonstration of Tier 2 modelling methods for groundwater transport and vapour intrusion; and hands‐on practice  in Tier 2 guideline calculation and implementation using actual contaminated site case studies.
