Explore various waste management methods such as landfills, landfarms, composting, resource recovery, incineration, waste-to-energy systems, solidification, stabilization, vitrification, air-sparging, pump-and-treat systems, and bioremediation. Implement knowledge and technical skills acquired in the Water Resource Technology program to solve real-world waste management challenges. Collaborate with peers to select, develop, and execute a sampling plan, site investigation report, and corrective action or closure strategy based on an instructor-provided scenario. Submit the required state operating registration or permit to demonstrate regulatory competence and team-based problem-solving. Lecture: 3 credits (45 contact hours).
