The CH2M Hill Distinguished Lecture, "Cleaning Up Sediments Without Throwing Mud," will be presented by Richard G. Luthy, the Silas H. Palmer Professor and Chair of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University.

Dredging's ability to achieve sediment cleanup goals depends on improving and intensifying monitoring data and on favorable site conditions. Dr. Luthy and research colleagues are participating in the field evaluation of activated carbon deployment in the Grasse River in New York. They anticipate demonstrating that activated carbon amendment is an effective non-removal management strategy for reducing the bioavailability of PCBs in sediments.

Dr. Luthy's lecture is hosted by Virginia Tech's Via Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and made possible by a gift from CH2M Hill, Inc.
