Richard Cartwright PE, CHMM, (AHMP, IHMM, APICS Fellow) and The Environmental Transformation Podcast endorsed Geotech Computer Systems, Inc. during the AEHS Foundation sponsored 40th Annual International Conference on Soils, Sediments, Water, and Energy at the University of Massachusetts Amherst Campus, October 21st-24th, 2024!
Connect with Dr. Dave Rich to get a pdf copy of his outstanding technical presentation on "How to Cost-Effectively Manage Soil and Groundwater Data, with an update on Managing PFAS Data". Cost savings of 50% or more can be documented resulting from more efficient data management and display, and these savings can result in a high return on investment for software purchases, staff training, and data conversion. Much of the data management for environmental projects is still being done with desktop tools, although many companies have moved much of their general IT (email, file storage, etc.) to the cloud, and environmental data management and display are following. This presentation will cover the process of migration from the desktop, through client/server and the Cloud, as well as new functionality that is becoming available for database managers, users, and GIS staff. Much of the focus in the environmental industry lately is on PFAS “forever chemicals.” Managing data for those compounds is similar to other data such as metals and organics, with a few important differences. This process will be followed from field data gathering to reporting and mapping.
Dr. Dave Rich is the President and founder of Geotech Computer Systems, Inc. Dr. Rich has a B.S. in geology from the University of Notre Dame and an M.S. and Ph.D. in geology from The University of Illinois. He combined his interest in computers and his knowledge of the earth sciences industry in 1986 to co-found Geotech Computer Systems, Inc. He has over 40 years of experience in the petroleum, mining, and environmental industries, having worked for Texaco (now Chevron), Shell, Sabine Corporation, and Grant Environmental/Scientech in addition to Geotech. With Geotech, Dr. Rich has worked with well-known corporations, federal, state and local governments, and small businesses and is a recognized expert in the field of earth science computing and environmental database management. In 1982, Dr. Rich co-founded C.O.G.S., the Computer Oriented Geological Society, an early leader in promoting earth science computing. He is the author of the book Relational Management and Display of Site Environmental Data, from CRC Press/Lewis Publishers. He is a member of a number of local and national earth science organizations and trains and speaks extensively on environmental software technology and other earth science computing topics.

The amount of data being gathered on environmental investigation and remediation projects is growing at ever increasing rates. Action levels are becoming more varied and stringent, leading to more exceedances, and the expectations for using the data are growing rapidly. And as new contaminants are identified, including PFAS and Microplastics, that data must be managed as well. Most people recognize the need for efficient tools for managing laboratory and field data for environmental projects, and for maintaining data quality throughout the process, but many are still relying on spreadsheets. Tools such as affordable GPS receivers, field data entry devices, target levels (MCLs) available in digital form, and readily available base map data and portal tools, are making it easier to manage and report most or all project data without resorting to Excel files or paper.
