Point to Point Environmental (P2P) recently hosted 19 students from Georgia College in Milledgeville to an UST active remediation site located in Milledgeville, Georgia. Students from the ENSC 2000 Environmental Methods and Measures class, instructed by Dr. Christine Mutiti, joined P2P staff onsite during a quarterly groundwater monitoring event.
The students were presented with a morning of hands-on training including a demonstration of the basics of a groundwater sampling event, depth-to-water / free product gauging, vacuum readings, proper decontamination procedures, and an overview of the operations and maintenance of the Multi-Phase Extraction (MPE) remediation system located onsite.
Students were thrilled to have the opportunity to also meet Ronald Wallace, Program Manager II from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division’s Underground Storage Tank Management Program (USTMP) who joined the group onsite. Mr. Wallace discussed potential employment opportunities within the USTMP and the benefits of student membership within the AIPG. The event was organized by Georgia College alumni and P2P employees Brian Mainor (’15) and Raliegh Burch (’14).
