High Resolution Characterization and Remediation of Petroleum-Impacted Carbonate Aquifers in Kentucky

Michael Albright, KY DWM

Many UST sites in Kentucky are located within the four distinct karst areas underlying the Commonwealth. Karst geomorphology and hydrogeology create unique challenges to effectively characterizing contaminant location and extent as well as characterizing flow dynamics at these sites. Traditional characterization of UST releases in karst terrain involves the initial collection of soil samples (saturated and unsaturated) and groundwater samples from the water table aquifer. Monitoring wells are often installed in rock without adequate knowledge of the karst geomorphology and hydrogeology specific to the point of installation. Monitoring wells thus installed typically provide insufficient information regarding contaminant mass in the epikarst, in solution-enhanced fractures, and in well-developed karst conduits. To address this insufficiency, surface geophysical methods such as two-dimensional electrical resistivity imaging, refraction micro tremor, frequency domain electromagnetic conductivity, and low- frequency electromagnetics are used to identify potential bedrock monitoring well locations. Once the borehole is established, geophysical methods, including caliper, gamma log, borehole resistivity, optical televiewer, acoustic televiewer, and heat-pulse flowmeter are employed. Combining these methods increases well-placement efficiency, which supports effective site characterization and remediation.

Insurance Class

Chase Noakes, AST Environmental

This presentation will focus on the Remediation Products Incorporated’s (RPI) Approach (“The Approach”) to contaminated site closure, this philosophy/methodology is applicable and effective in a wide distribution of unconsolidated and consolidated geologic formations and hydrogeological regimes. Details of The Approach and selected case studies will be highlighted for the audience.

Drill Rig Maintenance

Paul Haynes, Epiroc

As the economy continues to improve and the workload increases, it is even more important to keep your equipment properly maintained. This keeps the equipment at an efficient operating level and available to use when needed, eliminating unscheduled down time. This course will touch on some of the basic maintenance needed on drill rigs and other equipment. In addition, we will briefly touch on the Cost of Doing Business. Without knowing operating cost, you cannot effectively determine what you should be charging to receive a fair price for your work.

Kentucky Water and Monitoring Well Construction Standards and Practices Recent Regulation Updates and Their Impact on Certified Well Drillers

Scotty Robertson, P.G., Water Well Driller Certification Program Coordinator, Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet, Division of Water, Watershed Management Branch, Groundwater Section

This Class will concern to the Kentucky Administrative Regulation changes that were promulgated January 3, 2020, resulting from 2019 update to Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) 223.400-460 and their impact on Water Well and Monitoring Well Driller Certification and Well Construction Standards and Practices: 401 KAR 6:320, 401 KAR 6:310 and 401 KAR 6:310.

Grouting: Should I be Grouting & What I should Know

Mark Whittle, Baroid

This class will discuss grouts, methods, reasons we should grout and more.

What is Direct Imaging?

Jonathan Wiley, Stock Drilling, Inc.

An Introduction to various Direct Imaging Technologies and Standard Operating Procedures for Subcontractors on advancing Direct Imaging tooling with a Geoprobe®.

(This is a repeat class.)

Kentucky Well Record Submittal via eForm.

Caroline Chan, P.H.D., Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet, Division of Water, Watershed Management Branch, GIS/GDA Section

KRS 223.440, 401 KAR 6:310 and 401 KAR 6:350 require that a certified water well driller submit to the Cabinet documentation of any well construction, modification, or abandonment within sixty days of completion of the activity. Since 2008, drillers have been able to electronically submit installation records via an eForm. For the past few years, IT staff have been working with Division of Water staff to develop an upgraded eForm that will allow electronic submittal of not only installation records, but also well modifications and abandonments (plugging’s). Learn how the upgraded version will make your job easier.
