WA Energy Forum
Low Temperature Geothermal
Harvesting & Storing Energy in the Subsurface
Thursday, May 31
11:30am - 1:00pm
EnviroIssues
101 Stewart St., Ste. 1200
Seattle, WA 98101    

Join NEBC’s Energy Forum, Washington for a discussion on the fundamental concepts of Groundwater Heat Pump (GWHP) systems and Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES).  These methods use the thermal properties of water, soil, and rock, and the hydraulics of groundwater, to transfer thermal energy to and from the subsurface.  In a typical GWHP system, thermal energy can be extracted from groundwater for heating buildings or injected into groundwater for cooling buildings. The water is then pumped back into the ground. In an ATES system, groundwater can be heated or cooled and injected into the aquifer for recovery later in the year.

Speakers:

Peter Schwartzman, Principal Hydrogeologist, Pacific Groundwater Group

Linton Wildrick, Associate Hydrogeologist, Pacific Groundwater Group


Lunch will be provided. There is no charge, but please RSVP so we’re sure to order enough food. Forum activities are informal and open to all. Join us and be part of the conversation.

June 2012
Green Remediation - Understanding & Reducing a Projects' Environmental Footprint
Green Remediation - Understanding & Reducing a Project's Environmental Footprint
Wednesday, June 6
11:30 am - 1:00pm
Harborside
1200 Westlake Ave. N
Seattle, WA 98109

Cleaning up a contaminated site usually requires the use of energy, water, and other resources, thereby creating an environmental footprint of its own. Green Remediation is the application of technologies and approaches that reduce a cleanup project’s environmental impact. The U.S. EPA has developed a methodology for evaluating a project’s environmental footprint – in order to reduce it, and to improve the project’s outcome under any regulatory program.

Kira Lynch of EPA Region 10’s Office of Science and Policy will discuss the agency’s Clean and Green policy as well as the recently published Methodology for Understanding and Reducing a Project's Environmental Footprint report, and how the formalization of green remediation methodology compliments EPA’s broader portfolio of remediation policies.

Nick Garson of Boeing’s EHS Remediation Group will discuss Boeing’s sustainable remediation program and, through the use of two case studies, how Boeing was able to apply green remediation technology and practices in order to comply with EPA’s Clean and Green policy.


Speakers:

Kira Lynch, U.S. EPA Region 10 Office of Science and Policy

Nick Garson, P.G., Boeing EHS Remediation Group
