Re Justin and Glass Factory Brownfield conditions.
Is there contamination of anything other than “broken glass” and in what condition would that contaminate be? ..

In regards to mitigation measures for the redevelopment of brownfield sites, the two design options that I am most familiar with, is to install a 40mil impervious linear and or install 3′ of clean fill.

Nick, I cannot believe that you did not give Mark the credit he deserves for his whole interim period. I never thought i would see you make a mistake, especially an easy one such as rounding.

Oh & GO BISON on Friday!!!!!!!!

oh and nick, mark has actually been interim director for about 1.6 years now… no big deal, you were pretty close i guess…

Thanks! you should have seen the play in game, it came down to the last seconds… Im not the biggest basketball fan in the world but that was pretty exciting. Not bad for some North Dakota land grant school, eh? We probably wont make it past the first round but hey, pretty fun stuff nontheless.

Michael we need to get the recent projects page up and going. Maybe we post a project every weds? Or a series of project images? Let me know what you think since obviously run this show. Oh and by the way, turn on your phone!

Michael; Thanks for the update. I thought the LA program was strong when I was a student. Clearly, it’s healthy and gaining ground with every passing year.

yes. im only going to remark on some of the changes that i have experienced in my almost 4 years here at NDSU but im sure now that the group has grown, other past and present students will have things to add.

I graduated in May 2008 with my BLA and emphasis in Natural Resource Management. I am considering getting my master’s in Natural Resource Management.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how an MNRM degree would help or not really effect my job hunt?
Thanks!

I am currently working on my senior cap stone B.S. – LA project , which is a brownfield site ( old glass manufacture). I was curious to see if any one had any unique mitigation techniques or could refer me to a few good case studies.

No rush, best of luck on the exam.
