A granular activated carbon-based fluidized bed bioreactor (FBBR) has been added to remove nitrate\, hexavalent chromium\, and carbon tetrachloride. Initial analytical results indicated the microorganisms reduced many of the contaminants to less than cleanup levels. However\, shortly thereafter\, the FBR experienced operational upsets\, including carbon carry over\, over production of microbial extracellular polymeric substance (biofilm) materials\, and over production of hydrogen sulfide. As a result\, detailed investigations were undertaken to understand the functional diversity and activity of the microbial community in the FBBR over time. Molecular analyses were performed on the microbial community extracted from the biofilm within the bed and from the inoculum\, to determine functional dynamics of the FBBR bed over time and following operational changes. Results indicated that molecular tools can be powerful for determining functional diversity within FBBR-type reactors. Coupled with micronutrient\, influent\, and effluent chemistry evaluations\, a more complete understanding of the balance between system additions (nutrients\, groundwater) and biology can be achieved\, increasing long-term predictions of performance. These analyses uniquely provide information that can be used to optimize the overall performance\, efficiency\, and stability of the system both in real time and over the long-term\, as the system design is altered or improved and/or new streams are added. \nBio\nDr. Hope Lee is formally trained in environmental microbiology and oceanography.  Hope has experience in management and technical oversight of multiple DOE and DoD projects\, specializing in the development and validation of microbial characterization and monitoring tools for use in environmental remediation. During the past 15 years\, Hope has been involved on numerous multi-agency teams focused on the characterization\, performance evaluation\, and optimization of remedial strategies at contaminated sites. Hope is currently the technical lead and manager of the Soil and Groundwater Program at PNNL.

The Opalinus Clay is characterized by a low permeability and is\, therefore\, an excellent barrier against radionuclide transport. However\, the accumulation of waste generated gas in the underground repository and migration through the engineered barrier system (EBS) and into the host rock is a critical component within the safety assessment of the proposed deep repositories in low-permeability formations. Nagra has developed a comprehensive program to characterize gas flow in low permeability formations. This includes laboratory programs for characterization of hydraulic and geomechanical properties of the clay and full-scale experiments at the Underground Research Laboratories (URL) in Switzerland – the Mont Terri URL and the Grimsel Test Site (GTS). The presentation will provide an overview of the deep repository concept and describes selected field experiments and numerical analyses associated with gas migration through clay\, which have been conducted in collaboration with other agencies and international research organizations. \nBio:\nRainer Senger’s professional experience encompasses water-resources investigations\, reservoir characterization studies\, and site characterization and performance assessment of potential waste sites in the US\, Canada\, Switzerland\, France\, Israel\, and Japan. He has also been involved in water resources investigations and responsible for developing groundwater availability models for several of the major aquifers in Texas. He has performed various deterministic and probabilistic assessment studies and has been involved in a variety of investigations for hydrogeological characterization and geosystems modeling of potential nuclear waste repository sites. In the area of site characterization\, Rainer specializes in two-phase flow phenomena associated with migration of waste-generated gas from a potential waste repository\, which includes coupled two-phase hydromechanical processes.\nEducation:\nPh.D. Geology\, The University of Texas at Austin\, 1989\nM.A. Geology\, The University of Texas at Austin\, 1983\nB.A. Geology\, University of Karlsruhe\, Germany\, 1979 URL:/event/ce-seminar-overview-of-deep-geologic-waste-disposal-concepts-and-associated-rd-programs-in-underground-research-laboratories-in-switzerland/ LOCATION:West 131 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160219T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160219T160000 DTSTAMP:20260702T152616 CREATED:20160126T003644Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160126T003644Z UID:1674-1455894000-1455897600@tricities.wsu.edu SUMMARY:Faculty and Staff - The Future of Higher Education DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker Barbara Holland will be presenting “The Future of Higher Education” URL:/event/faculty-and-staff-the-future-of-higher-education/ LOCATION:East Auditorium\, 2710 Crimson Way\, Richland\, WA\, 99354-1671\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160222T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160222T150000 DTSTAMP:20260702T152616 CREATED:20160115T185913Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160115T185913Z UID:1642-1456146000-1456153200@tricities.wsu.edu SUMMARY:Writing Placement Exam DESCRIPTION:To meet graduation requirements\, all students must pass an English composition course. The writing placement exam is designed to help you fulfill this requirement by identifying the course that best matches your skills. \nThe writing placement exam is administered in a two-hour session. You will write two essays\, one argumentative and the other self-reflective. \nRegistration is required.
