PG Review Course for the Practicing Geologist & ASBOG® Exam Candidate scheduled for August The components of this two-day seminar scheduled for August 24-25 are aligned with the general subject areas contained in the ASBOG® Geologist Examinations. This is also a popular course for individuals interested in fulfilling continuing education requirements tied to license renewal. The two-day course provides 900 minutes of qualifying continuing education. ASBOG® Exam Dates October 6, 2017 March 16, 2018 October 5, 2018 March 15, 2019 October 4, 2019 March 20, 2020 October 2, 2020  PCPG is finalizing the details for a June 9th field trip focusing on carbonates and karst in the York area. We are working through access arrangements and itinerary logistics but it looks like we will be able to visit an operating quarry, an area of active sinkhole development, a day-lighted pinnacled bedrock surface and an underground tour of an operating mine. We'll board a motor coach in the morning at a hotel close to York and end the day with a picnic-themed meal at about 4:00 PM. Our last field trip was the geology and history of the Gettysburg Battlefield and it was a beautiful day afield that was enjoyed by all. Space will be limited to one motor coach so stay tuned for more details if you want to be assured of a seat. Vapor Intrusion Guidance Seminar Slides Available Posted 7 February: PADEP’s Land Recycling Program partnered with the PCPG to conduct one-day training sessions on the new vapor intrusion guidance that became effective January 18, 2017. Color slides and exercise materials from the final session in Malvern (held January 10, 2017) can be found on the PADEP’s Vapor Intrusion web page. Visit PADEP VI to examine and/or download the materials. PCPG responds to irresponsible call for hydraulic fracturing moratorium
Posted 28 November: PCPG's official response statement to the PA Medical Society's recent call for a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing in Pennsylvania is available for download. The society’s 300-member House of Delegates unanimously approved a resolution at its annual meeting in October calling for the fracking moratorium, registry and research. As stated previously in PCPG's 2014 Shale Gas Statement, oil and gas exploration and production, utilizing hydraulic fracturing, can and is done in an environmentally responsible manner and provides a great benefit to the Commonwealth. We encourage PCPG members to download the response statement, write personal notes to your local state house and state senate members, and provide a copy of PCPG's official response. |
