Geologists Complete Your ASBOG Surveys

Tom Gillespie, P.G. and one of PA's representatives on the Association of State Boards of Geology (ASBOG), which develops the PG licensing exam, has informed PCPG that surveys regarding the exam have been sent to select PA Geologists. PA PGs were randomly selected to receive the survey via the U.S. Mail. The survey will be used in 2010 to analyze content domains for future ASBOG exams. Please complete your surveys and return them to ASBOG.

Industrial Sites Reuse Funding Available

Due to the slowdown in the economy, the typical backlog for Industrial Sites Reuse (ISR) funding from the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) has disappeared. Although the recent State Budget cut approximately $500,000 previously appropriated for environmental assessments under Act 4, money has been transferred from Growing Greener II to the ISR Fund. Additional Information.
