lake management, soils and site evaluation for septic systems and stormwater bmps – fall 2011
DESCRIPTION
Lake Management and Soils and Site Evaluation for Septic Systems and Stormwater BMPs are among the environmental training courses offered by Rutgers in Fall 2011. The Lake Management course will give you the training you need to properly investigate and diagnose lake quality problems, as well as the tools to develop and implement cost-effective, restoration measures. The Soils and Site Evaluation course will help students understand how water moves through soil in order to properly design septic systems and stormwater basins. See brochure for details.TRANSCRIPT

Soils and Site Evaluations for Septic Disposal Systems and Stormwater BMPs
October 3, 4 and 5, 2011$695 before 9/19/11; $725 after; $645 multiple
Course Code: ES0301CA12
Thousands of septic systems and stormwater basins malfunction for the same reason: failure to understand how water moves (or doesn’t move!) through soil. You cannot hope to design and build these structures without a down-and-dirty understanding of these soils. That’s what this hands-on course is all about.
Every day, you will spend equal time moving between lectures in the classroom and 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 (BMP) facility.
Day one and day two will be held on campus in New Brunswick, with day three off-campus and in the field. No matter the location, be prepared to leave with mud on your boots!
In just three days, you will learn:
• Soil fundamentals for successful septic system design and installation, stormwater BMP design, and other applications, ` such as wetland design and soil remediation;
• Necessary components for estimating seasonal high water table; • Differences between infiltration and percolation and how to
maintain infiltration; and, • How to be more efficient (and effective!) in choosing where to
test and site BMPs and septics.
***NEW for 2011*** Why Basins FailKnow what to look for, and how to avoid some common causes of failure on your next project! Proposed changes to NJDEP septic regulations will also be discussed!
Additional Featured Topics:• Soil Physical Properties: Soil Texture and the Textural Triangle• Determining Soil Texture by FEEL• Soils and Geology of New Jersey• New Jersey Regulatory Requirements for Site Evaluation • Inner Workings of Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs)• County Soil Survey Reports and Web Soil Survey• Soil Physical Properties: Soil Structure and Color• Permeability Testing: Where and How• Why Soil Morphology Matters: Septic Effluent• Soil Suitability and Safety in the Pits• Unique Local Soil Formations of New Jersey• Infiltration: What Works and What Doesn’t• Field Determination of Mottling (Redoximorphic Features)• Horizon Nomenclature/Restrictive Horizons• Tips for Writing and Reviewing Soil Logs
Attention Professionals
Health Officers/Registered Environmental Health Specialists The health and safety of the public depends on your site evaluations. 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. Using the Soil Survey (now online!) is only the first step in evaluation a site. Get fast in the field, too. With BMP requirements, knowing the soil limitations at rhe beginning can prevent costly design revisions down the road. This course has been submitted for New Jersey PE Continuing Professional Competency credits.
Faculty CoordinatorMarilyn 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.

Whether you are a lake manager, a lake resident, an ecologist or an engineer, this popular two-day course is for you. From small ponds to large lakes to drinking water reservoirs to fishing lakes, if you want your lake and watershed management efforts to be successful, you need a technically sound foundation. This course will give you the training you need to properly investigate and diagnose lake quality problems as well as the tools to develop and implement cost-effective, restoration measures.
Led by Dr. Stephen Souza, President, Princeton Hydro LLC and other industry professionals, you will be guided through the benefits and pitfalls of all of the most commonly implemented lake and pond management measures. The new, interactive nature of the course will provide attendees with the opportunity to discuss the specific issues and problems impacting the condition of your own waterbody. The course also provides for “hands-on” problem solving and in-class application of the featured course topics.
Past Participants say:“From defining diagnosing to choosing a path of action, this course and approach is excellent!”
“[Lake Management] provides a perfect background of all topics pertaining to lake management.”
“Comprehensive view ... with good depth of detail.”

Stormwater Management Course Code: EW0302CA12 October 5, 6 and 7, 2011
Managing stormwater runoff from land development is becoming more complex every day. In light of New Jersey’s recently adopted statewide Stormwater Management Rules, engineers, reviewers, developers and others will need to acquire both greater 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.
This course will cover the recently adopted NJDEP Stormwater Management Rules, including those dealing with groundwater recharge, TSS and nutrient removal, and stormwater quantity control. A presentation of the new NJDEP BMP Manual, Groundwater Recharge Spreadsheet (NJGRS) and other technical aspects of the new rules will also be included. The course will conclude with a workshop problem that applies the information and techniques presented to a sample development site in accordance with the new NJDEP Rules.
