Greetings LAGS Members and Friends!
Please join us this upcoming Tuesday, February 21, for our monthly
LAGS meeting. We have an excellent speaker, and refreshments will be
served!
Help sculpt the future of LAGS by serving on the club's Board. Your
ideas are needed to keep the club active, vibrant, and dynamic. A
couple of our current Board members must step down, so we encourage
anyone with interest to step up to the Board. The time commitment is
minimal -- a couple hours per month is all we request. Voting will
take place at Tuesday's meeting.
February's Speaker is Thomas McCrory, PG
Talk Title: In-Situ Remediation of Chlorinated Volatile Organic
Compounds Using Injected Micro-organisms, or, What To Do When the Work
Plan Doesn't Work.
Abstract: The project took place at Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base,
which is located on the coast of North Carolina northeast of
Wilmington. The amphibious tractor battalion storage, maintenance and
training center is located next to Courthouse Bay on the New River
about two miles from the Atlantic Ocean. A dissolved phase
groundwater plume of chlorinated volatile organic compounds was
migrating from the maintenance area towards the bay. The selected
remedy was the injection of specially grown micro-organisms to promote
in-situ biodegradation of the plume. The talk describes the details
of the project as designed and focuses on challenges and solutions
when implementing the work plan.
Speaker Bio: Thomas A. McCrory, P.G., received a bachelor's degree in
biology from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a master's degree in
geology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. During the
1980s he worked as an exploration and mining geologist for a small
mining company and as a precious metals specialist for a brokerage
firm. Since 1990 he has worked as an environmental geologist. He is
currently employed by Navarro Research and Engineering and lives in
Los Alamos with his wife Marlene and his twin sons Scott and Steven,
who are juniors at LAHS.
