ABSTRACT
This event, the second in a four-part series of AEG Mesozoic rift basin talks, features the Culpeper Basin of Virginia.  This presentation explores the Culpeper Basin’s geologic history and highlights the stratigraphic and structural characteristics that generally regulate groundwater flow within the basin.  A comparison of the Culpeper Basin to other rift basins along the eastern seaboard will be followed by a Conceptual Site Model case study from site characterization and remediation activities conducted at an EPA Superfund site within the Culpeper Basin.

BIOGRAPHY
Jesse Drummond, PG is a research geologist and environmental consultant with the Site Characterization and Remediation group at EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc., PBC.  Over the last 9 years, he has contributed to structural geologic and hydrogeological evaluations at fractured bedrock sites in NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, and VA.  Most recently, his project work in the Culpeper Basin of Virginia has incorporated concepts from others’ previous and ongoing research within the Newark Basin (and other Mesozoic rift basins) due to the extensive similarities that have resulted from the basins’ shared geologic history.  Additional areas of research and professional interest include 3-D geologic modeling and the application of sequence stratigraphic concepts to site characterization and remediation projects.
