This course will focus only on the VSP modules that are applicable to Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) sites. Transect survey design, target area detection and delineation, anomaly density geostatistical mapping and estimation, and post-cleanup verification sampling methods will be covered. No previous VSP experience required.
VSP Background Information:
VSP is a software tool for determining the right number and locations of samples or surveys and performing statistical assessments to support confident decisions. With a user base of over 5000 users and sponsored by DOE, EPA, DoD, CDC, UK-AWE and DHS, VSP is becoming the environmental sampling design and statistical analysis system of choice endorsed by regulators and many stakeholders. Methods are available for sampling of soils, water, groundwater, sediments, buildings, wells, and unexploded ordnance sites. Each of these courses will use VSP 5.4 or later. Due to the nature of these very hands-on courses, seating is limited to 25 per course.
