Recently EPA Victoria released Publication 702 to provide guidance on planning sampling of waste soils. The publication includes a number of statistical tools that can be employed to characterise the concentration of contaminants within a decision unit. .
The presentation provides an overview on the statistical tools that are contained in Publication 702 and provides an overview of tools that are not included but should be considered. To provide context the presentation will cover background and practical application of the common statistical tools that can be employed to establish a representative concentrations for a domain / volume of interest.

Audience:
The presentation is aimed at contaminated land professionals and assumes that attendees are familiar with basic statistical concepts and understand the principals of domain development, sampling design, analysis and data interpretation applied to waste soil characterisation. While other professionals in the environmental industry may find the course useful the course focus is limited to contaminated site application and case studies and hence may miss some context for other fields.
Presenter:
