Welcome to the 7th Washington Hydrogeology Symposium! Our venue at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center in Tacoma, Washington, offers an upscale meeting place surrounded by beautiful mountain and water views and a wide variety of dining, shopping, and museum-going opportunities. We have assembled a program of 60 talks and 22 poster presentations this year, including such topics as Geochemistry and Contaminant Mobility, Water Rights Mitigation, and Ground and Surface Water Interactions. e W have exciting field trips, ranging from the Hydrogeologic Implications of Removing the Elwha River Dams to Hydrogeology of the San Juan Islands. Five workshops will be presented, including Subsurface Heterogeneity and a Well Driller Session good for continuing education credits. We also have two panels this year that will discuss Critical Areas Ordinances and Professional Licensure. At this year’s Symposium, opening remarks will be provided by Jay Manning, Director of the Washington State Department of Ecology. Keynote speakers will include Dr. Richelle Allen-King, State University of New York at Buffalo, a leader in the study of geochemical processes on the fate and transport of contaminants in ground and surface waters; Dr. Ingrid Verstraeten, U.S. Geological Survey, International Water Resources Branch, Reston, Virginia, and Dr. Gary S. Weissmann, University of New Mexico, whose expertise includes detailed geological characterization of subsurface heterogeneity in aquifers and petroleum reservoirs. Our Exhibitors offer a wide variety of state-of-the-art data collection, analysis, and reporting solutions and highlights of important programs and services. Our Sponsors deserve a special Thank You during these especially difficult economic times. Through their generosity, our sponsorship goals were exceeded and the Symposium continues to be able to offer this meeting at a very affordable price. Please join us in thanking our Sponsors listed on the back cover of the Program. The Symposium provides a unique opportunity to connect with other professional hydrogeologists, geologists, and hydrologists from throughout the Pacific Northwest. On behalf of the 7th Washington Hydrogeology Symposium Steering Committee and myself, Welcome! We hope that you will have a productive and enjoyable few days at the Symposium and that you will make plans to join us again in 2011.
