3.00 Credits
This course covers many subtopics within the broad fi eld of geology. Students will learn the theoretical background, and practical applications of the science. Topics include internal earth forces, geological materials and resources, surface processes, and geologic waste disposal. Geology has important applications to environmental management, and these applications will be highlighted in the class. Geology is a descriptive science so students will learn a great deal of new vocabulary, and will come to understand the mechanisms and results of continuous change to our planet. Class 3, Credit 3

Laboratory to accompany 0630-370, Environmental Geology. Lab includes fi eld trips to signifi cant local geologic features and mines. (Credit or coregistration in 0630-370) Class 2, Lab 3, Credit 1
-
3.00 Credits
This course will cover most subdisciplines within the broad fi eld of hydrology. Students will learn the theoretical background, and practical applications of selected aspects of the science including the hydrologic cycle, surface water calculations, vadose zone fl ow, ground- water hydraulics, groundwater monitoring, water chemistry and ground- water contaminant transport. The class culminates in an investigation of a mock contaminated site in which the students apply aspects of all of the above mentioned topics. Hydrology has important applications for environmental managers, and these applications will be highlighted in the class. (0630-370, 372) Class 3, Credit 3
-
3.00 Credits
Laboratory to accompany 0630-380, Introduction to Hydrology. The lab focuses on fi eld and computational techniques. Field activities include stream gauging in Oatka Creek and well installation. (Credit for or coregistration in 0630-380) Lab 3, Credit 1
-
4.00 Credits
This course will provide a practical knowledge of Federal and State environmental permitting processes and procedures. Regulatory requirements will be reviewed with emphasis placed on the major programs in New York State, including Water, Air and Solid and Hazardous Waste. Students will become familiar with the environmental review and audit as a part of the application process. Discussion will introduce the environmental permit as a management tool for the environmental professional. The use of facility audits, development of proper information for permit applications and negotiation of permit terms and conditions will be explored as means to assure compliance with State and Federal statutes. The course will also explore the consequences of non-compliance with regulations by presenting enforcement options available to government agencies. (Open only to fourth-year environmental management majors with department approval) Class 4, Credit 4

Delineates and describes the sequence of events required in remedial investigations (RI), feasibility studies and corrective actions at hazardous waste sites. Explains the process fl ow logistics, concepts and rationale behind each RI action. Investigates the strategies, technologies and methodologies commonly in use for site investigation and characterization and corrective action. Explores current issues of "how clean is clean " and "Superfund" liability. Studenlearn to develop conceptual site characterization plans; effective solicitations for RI proposals; review and evaluate work plans, procedures and operations plans, and contingency plans. (Open only to fourth-year environmental management majors or with departmental approval) Class 4, Credit 4
-
