Site Management through CSM Development Enhanced with 3DVA: This course describes using project life-cycle conceptual site models (CSMs) to manage sites more effectively, and the use of 3-Dimensional Visualization and Analysis (3DVA) to enhance CSM development. This course emphasizes the foundational importance of the project life cycle CSM for understanding and communicating site conditions, guiding characterization and remediation activities, remedy selection and design, and making progress toward cleanup goals. This course stresses CSMs as an essential project management tool to be regularly reviewed and updated as part of Smart Scoping and systematic project planning activities.
The instructors will review practical tools and techniques for improving CSMs using 3DVA applications. 3DVA can assist site teams with facilitating advanced data analysis by integrating complex datasets into a comprehensive visual model of the site geology, hydrology, and contaminant chemistry. Additionally, 3DVA can help resolve technical discrepancies between project stakeholders and support decision-making based on a unified understanding of site conditions. Course explains the benefits of 3DVA for CSM development, data gap identification, and remedy optimization supported by lessons learned from Superfund optimization and technical support programs, case studies, and project highlights.
Course objectives include learning to:
- Obtain and organize the necessary information to develop a robust and realistic CSM and consider the benefits, limitations, and applications of tools like 3DVA throughout the Superfund project life cycle.
- Develop a baseline CSM and maintain it as a “living” representation to 1) guide site activities, 2) use as an effective communication tool to explain site conditions and to resolve technical discrepancies among the project team and stakeholders; and 3) identify data gaps, site priorities, and potential completion strategies.
- Discuss tools and collaborative datasets to support the development of robust 3DVA conceptual site models reinforced by case studies and lessons learned from the Superfund optimization and technical support programs
- Access CSM and 3DVA technical guidance, resources, and support available to RPMs and project teams.
