New SMoCS courses at Huxley

The new Science and Management of Contaminated Sites (SMoCS) courses started today. Almost 40 students from Environmental Sciences, Environmental Studies and Journalism are enrolled. The students are in for a great quarter as we learn about the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA), which is the Washington State regulations through which some contaminated sites are cleaned up. We are focusing on the Everett Shipyard (ESY) site this quarter.` I'll have occasional posts about the course here.
