Superfund Site Remediation
Interim Directory
Winter 1989

This directory was developed by Ronald G. Wilhelm of the Technology Staff in the
Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response. Appreciation and thanks to Regional
staff and the Office of Research and Development for review and comments. In
addition, special thanks to Environmental Management Support, Inc., for their aid in
preparing this directory.

Preface
Technical assistance is a priority in the Superfund program and a highlight of the
Administrator's 90-Day Management Review of Superfund. The Office of Solid Waste
and Emergency Response and the Office of Research and Development provide numerous
opportunities for technical assistancesome multi-faceted and others directed to specific
topics. This Interim Directory of Technical Support Services was prepared in response
to the Administrator's Review and the need to make such technical assistance more
widely available.
The goal of this Directory is to enable EPA field staff to quickly identify the existing
technical support services that will be most useful for their specific problem. Rather than
an exhaustive inventory of all sources of technical information, this Directory highlights
the significant OSWER and ORD technical assistance programsthose that have proce-
dures in place to process requests for assistance (e.g., answering a technical question,
providing staff to work on the problem, or referring callers to the appropriate source).
The Directory will allow users to access the most information with the least effort.
A revision to this Directory is planned in late spring 1990 to better integrate the many
sources of technical and policy assistance from throughout OSWER and ORD.

experienced user to conduct searches and download technical information without going
through the ATTIC system operator. The ATTIC system operator is available to respond to
information requests from users that do not have communications capabilities or do not wish
to conduct their own searches. The core of the ATTIC system is the ATTIC Database, a
keyword driven system that contains technical information in the form of abstracts or report
summaries from a variety of sources including the SITE Program, States, industry, NATO,
DOD/DOE, RODS, and Treatability Studies.
Other databases contained in the ATTIC system that can be directly accessed by a user
include the:
RREL (Water) Treatability Database
RSKERL Soil Transport and Fate Database
EPA Library Hazardous Waste Collection Database
Cost of Remedial Action Model
Geophysics Advisor Expert System
Access to the on-line ATTIC system is controlled by a log-in ID and password available from
the ATTIC system operator. Technical information requests can also be made directly to the
system operator. The ATTIC system operator can be reached at (301) 816-9153.
Also accessible through ATTIC is the:
Computerized On-Line Information Systems (COLIS)
COLIS is a part of RREL's Technical Information Exchange (TDQ. The three COLIS
databases currently in operation are listed below.
Case History File: Information on site characteristics, response methods, costs, and
cleanup problems related to spills, waste sites, and underground storage tank
management
Library Search System: Free-form searching through catalog cards and full length
abstracts of documents in the TIX library. Users may conduct literature searches
using their own keywordsthey are not limited to a standard set of keywords
