The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has a noble charge of taking care of the public and protecting people from environmental hazards of all kind. So you can imagine the honor I felt when I was able to help coach them from a regulatory perspective during TAKING THE MYSTERY OUT OF THE SUBSURFACE classroom training intensive.
I hold this team in the highest regard. Each person was well prepared for my arrival and asked some of the most thoughtful questions, ever. They take their job seriously and were on a mission to learn during my time, but I also appreciated their lighthearted nature during the course. It made the day super fun for me, and I could easily tell they were having fun too.
I created a couple of new exercises for this specific training dedicated to regulators who USE soil borings instead of CREATING them. The process of evaluating someone else's soil borings for reliability isn't new, but the 3-step metrics that we used during the course seem like a useful method because it takes away the subjectivity of it, and allows objectivity.
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania is a great town with some great, great people on a noble mission. Keep up the great work.
