An information-packed synopsis of the science, approaches, and methods for effective soil vapour characterization at contaminated lands. In the webinar, we describe key recent developments for the soil vapour conceptual site model, preferential pathways and investigation approaches and methods. Drawing upon current research, guidance, and practice, the webinar provides a broad perspective on current practices and common questions, but also highlights jurisdiction-specific protocols and guidance including BC Provincial and Canadian federal regulations and guidance.

Leading practitioners will illustrate challenges and best practices in metal leaching and ARD. The focus of the workshop will be field-scale research and operational experience. Case studies will be drawn from mine sites around the world. This year’s workshop will again be completely virtual. To allow for a similar number of presentations, while recognizing the challenge of a virtual environment and the pressures of the workday, we have chosen to split the workshop into three half day sessions. While we will greatly miss the opportunity to meet in person, this format offers us the ability to broaden our reach through an increased number of registration spots and to facilitate speakers and attendees from around the world. As such, we ask that you inform peers and colleagues who may not have previously attended. We hope to return to in-person in 2022. Registration will open in October. Please check the BC/MEND Metal Leaching/Acid Rock Drainage Workshop website (https://bc-mlard.ca/) for program updates and to view previous presentations.
