Naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORMs) in groundwater are more common than many small systems realize. In this training, Thomas Ballard of Southeast Hydrogeology, PLLC explains how geology, geochemistry, and system operations drive uranium, radium, and radon occurrence—and shows practical ways for small water utilities to assess risk, design smarter wells, and choose cost‑effective compliance strategies. **What you’ll learn The NORMs basics: uranium, radium, and radon sources, decay chains, exposure pathways, and health risks. Key regulations for community water systems: MCLs for combined Ra-226/228 (5 pCi/L), gross alpha (15 pCi/L, excluding Ra and U), uranium (30 µg/L), beta/photon emitters (4 mrem/yr), and the current status of radon (no federal MCL; proposed dual standard not adopted). Geologic settings with higher risk: granites, gneiss, schist, black shales, phosphate-rich rocks, and volcanic/rhyolitic terrains; why local variability matters. Redox and water chemistry controls: why oxic, high-bicarbonate water mobilizes uranium (U(VI))—and how calcium–bicarbonate complexes keep U in solution. Hydrogeologic impacts of pumping and irrigation: how downward gradients and recharge chemistry can increase uranium at depth over time. Siting and design to avoid treatment: presiting assessments, vertical profiling, flow logging, discrete sampling, mass balance, and sealing problem zones. Modifying existing wells: targeted grouting/liners, pump intake adjustments, and verification sampling to regain compliance. Nontreatment strategies: blending, source substitution, seasonal operations, and monitoring programs. **Treatment options and tradeoffs: Radon: aeration (preferred for POE) vs. GAC, performance, O&M, and waste considerations. Uranium/radium: ion exchange (anion for U, cation for Ra), RO/nanofiltration, lime softening (for Ra), specialty adsorptive media—plus pretreatment, breakthrough control, and waste disposal. Ongoing O&M: establishing KPIs, corrosion control after treatment, waste handling plans, operator training, and continuous improvement. Case study: Eastern San Joaquin Valley—strong U–bicarbonate correlation in oxic water, effects of agricultural pumping, and a practical blend of profiling, blending, and targeted IX to stay below MCLs. **Who this video is for Managers and operators at small water utilities Consulting engineers and hydrogeologists supporting groundwater systems Public works staff evaluating new wells, blending plans, or treatment upgrades **Key takeaways Geology sets the stage; geochemistry and operations control mobility. Profile vertically and design wells to avoid high-uranium/radium zones. Start with blending and source management; choose treatment only when needed and matched to your waste/O&M capacity. Track KPIs and trends—don’t rely on single snapshots. **About the presenter Thomas Ballard, Southeast Hydrogeology, PLLC—consulting and training for small water utilities on groundwater, well design, and compliance operations. **Support and contact Questions or project needs?
