Using The OSWER Source Book
The OSWER Source Book provides a consolidated listing of training courses and technology transfer
resources of potential interest to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), State, and local personnel
concerned with solid and hazardous waste management. The OSWER Source Book is comprised of seven
sections:
• Training
The Training section contains information on solid and hazardous waste management training.
Course listings include course title, content, and registration information and are organized by
subject categories (e.g., health and safety, enforcement, treatment technologies). A matrix of
training courses, organized by subject and course level, and an alphabetical listing of courses by
title are available to assist you in locating courses of interest.
• Ground-Water Training Matrix
This matrix can be used to locate and research training courses on the subject of ground water.
The matrix catalogs available ground-water training and tabulates each course's coverage of ten
ground-water subjects.
• On-Scene Coordinator/Remedial Project Manager (OSC/RPM) Support Program
The OSC/RPM Support Program section provides information for OSCs and RPMs and their
supervisors on training opportunities and other activities related to OSC/RPM professional
development.
• Publications
This listing of selected relevant EPA publications includes publication title and number,
audience, and ordering information. This section is organized by program office and an
alphabetical listing of publications by title is provided.
• Videos
This listing of selected relevant EPA videos includes video title, format, audience, content, and
ordering information. This section is organized by program office and an alphabetical listing of
videos by title is provided.
• Information Systems and Software
The Information Systems and Software section is a collection of technology databases, expert
systems, electronic bulletin boards, and software. Listings include each system's purpose and ele-
ments, software and hardware requirements, and registration information. This section is orga-
nized by program office and an alphabetical listing of information systems by title is provided.
• Superfund Technical Support Program
The Superfund Technical Support Program section provides information on technology-based
assistance available to OSCs and RPMs and their supervisors through the Office of Research and
Development (ORD) laboratories.
The Technology Innovation Office (TIO), Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) of
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) produced this catalog. An important function of the
office is to coordinate the technical training available to EPA employees involved in programs pertaining
to solid and hazardous waste. OSWER funds contribute to course procurement and delivery to meet many
of these training needs.

Foreword
The OSWER Source Book consolidates information on the numerous training
courses, publications, videos, and information systems and software sponsored by
the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) and others. The
Technology Innovation Office (TIO) has compiled these technology transfer
resources to assist EPA, State, and local personnel, and others concerned with solid
waste management, hazardous waste remediation, emergency response, and
chemical and emergency preparedness.
The Training section of The OSWER Source Book provides descriptions of courses
of interest to EPA and State CERCLA and RCRA personnel. The course
descriptions are organized by subject categories (e.g., community relations,
enforcement, risk assessments, treatment technologies). A Matrix of Training
Courses (see pages 20 and 21) is provided to assist you in locating courses by
subject and level of difficulty.
Each OSWER program office and other EPA offices have identified publications
and videos that would be particularly useful to CERCLA and RCRA staff, and
State and local officials concerned with hazardous and solid waste issues. The
collections of publications and videos are organized by program office. Information
on innovative technologies can be found under the Technology Innovation Office
(TIO) heading of these sections.
We have also assembled descriptions of Federal information systems and software
including technology databases, expert systems, and electronic bulletin boards. The
technology databases include bibliographical and technical information on the uses
of various remedial action technologies, and the expert systems aid decision makers
in selecting remedial action alternatives. The electronic bulletin boards provide
users with information on how to access agency technology transfer systems, and
relevant conferences and seminars. These listings are also organized by program
office.
If you have suggestions on The OSWER Source Book, please send your comments
with the evaluation form on page 351.

Introduction
Introduction
Using the Training Section
This section of The OSWER Source Book provides descriptions of training courses that are currently
available or are expected to be offered in fiscal year 1991 (October 1, 1990 - September 30, 1991).
The course descriptions include course title, content, and registration information and are organized
by subject categories (e.g., community relations, enforcement, risk assessments, treatment
technologies). A Matrix of Training Courses (see pages 20 and 21 of this section) is provided to
assist you in locating courses by subject categories (as indicated across the top of the matrix) and
course level (as indicated in the left column). The page reference for each course listing is also noted
in the matrix. The training courses are listed alphabetically by title on pages 25-27.
Course level is defined as Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced. Beginner level courses have no
prerequisites and are developed for individuals with less than six months experience at the Agency
who have a minimal technical background in the subject area. Intermediate level courses may specify
prerequisites, require a minimal level of technical proficiency or knowledge in the subject area, and
more than six months experience at the Agency. Advanced courses offer expert-level training for
experienced staff. If you have a question as to which level of instruction is appropriate for your
background, contact the individual indicated as the contact for the course listing.
On a quarterly basis, the Technology Innovation Office (TIO) issues the Quarterly OSWER Training
Calendar. Please consult the Quarterly OSWER Training Calendar to determine the dates and
locations of training courses listed in this section. Additional scheduling information also may be
obtained by calling the course contact, or the EPA Headquarters or Regional Training Representative
(see pages 11-13) in the Region where the training is being delivered. The Quarterly OSWER
Training Calendar is distributed to all EPA Regions and to individuals by request. To request the
Quarterly OSWER Training Calendar, please complete the order form on page 351 or contact the
EPA Technology Innovation Office directly:
Office of Solid Waste ai*d Bmergeiwjr
Technology Innovation OfSee (OS-MO)
401M Street, S.W, '
You can also obtain information contained in the Quarterly OSWER Training Calendar and The
OSWER Source Book by accessing either of two computer bulletin boards: the OSWER Electronic
Bulletin Board System (BBS) and the Hazardous Materials Information Exchange (HMIX). (See
pages 301 and 341 of the Information Systems and Software section.)

Training Registration
Application for Courses
You may pre-register for a scheduled training delivery by calling the individual designated as the
training course contact, or the EPA Headquarters or Regional Training Representative in the Region
where the training is being delivered (see pages 11-13 for the listing). Applicants should then submit
an SF 182 Form, "Request, Authorization, Agreement and Certification," if required, to their EPA
Institute Headquarters or Regional Field Representative (see pages 16 and 17 for the listing). The
Headquarters or Regional Training Representative can inform you as to whether or not an SF 182
Form is required.
Approval and Confirmation of Registration Application
Registration applicants are approved immediately upon pre-registration, provided space is available.
Applicants whose approval would make class enrollment exceed established ceilings may be placed
on a waiting list, with final decision on acceptance for enrollment deferred until a time specified by
the course contact. Some courses may require applicants to possess specific experience or
qualifications to attend the course; these prerequisites are noted in the course descriptions. Course
attendees are responsible for their own travel and lodging.
Cancellations/Substitutions
If you are unable to attend a course for which you are registered, please notify the course contact,
or the Headquarters or Regional Training Representative in the Region where the training is being
delivered, either by phone or in writing as soon as possible. OSWER training courses often have
waiting lists and failure to cancel in advance means that another applicant will not be able to attend
the course. Substitutions are at the discretion of the course contact.

needs.
This course provides detailed descriptions of the geophysical techniques that are currently
applied to locating and mapping contaminants: locating the top of the water table, defin-
ing the stratigraphy, and general site characterization work. Components of each system,
theory, application, QA/QC, and interpretation are discussed. The course's main purpose
is to provide RPMs and OSCs with practical knowledge to recognize appropriate methods
and field techniques to insure cost-effective and meaningful data. Part of this course de-
monstrates the use of a simple PC-based program called the "Geophysical Advisor," which
is an expert system developed by EMSL-LV to help site managers plan, develop, and
decide on a site-specific geophysical strategy. The course is essentially a slide presentation

Ground-Water Training Matrix for EPA Regional Personnel*
Introduction
EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) provides ground-water related training to
EPA Regional personnel who implement the RCRA and CERCLA programs. In 1989, OSWER conducted
a survey of government and commercial ground-water training courses and inventoried available ground-water
training courses. The report identified and evaluated a total of 112 ground-water related training courses.
Drawing from the 1989 survey, this section of The OSWER Source Book provides a listing and content
evaluation of ground-water courses that could be useful to CERCLA Remedial Project Managers and On-
Scene-Coordinators, RCRA Permit Writers, and technical enforcement personnel.
The course evaluation project divided the field of ground-water science into ten general subject areas:
hydrogeology, monitoring well technology, contaminant transport, sampling and analysis, ground-water
monitoring, remedial technologies, ground-water modeling, vadose zone monitoring, geostatistics, and applied
geostatistics. Within each subject area, specific training topics of concern to EPA professionals were
identified. Exhibit 1 lists the ground-water training topics evaluated, organized by subject.
Exhibit 2 organizes the 112 identified ground-water training courses by subject area. Exhibit 2 gives each topic
area covered in a course a content rating on a scale of 0 to 4. The course content ratings are based on the
review of course materials submitted by the course sponsors. Some sponsors provided a complete set of
materials for review, whereas others provided only brochures or advertising fliers. The completeness of course
materials reviewed clearly effects the accuracy of the course content ratings. Although all training materials,
brochures, and books submitted by sponsors were reviewed to determine course content and level of
instruction, the reviewers did not attend the courses, and therefore Exhibit 2 does not provide judgements about
training quality. Note also that the evaluation project was conducted in the fall of 1989 and changes to the
courses may have occurred since then.
Exhibit 3 contains information needed to contact course sponsors and obtain registration materials. Courses
are listed in alphabetical order by sponsor.
How to Use This Matrix
To locate an appropriate training course, begin by using Exhibit 1 to determine which subject area(s) contain
the specific training topics you are interested in. Once you have identified the appropriate subject area(s),
turn to the corresponding tables in Exhibit 2. Exhibit 2 assigns each course an overall elementary,
intermediate, and advanced training level based upon the course's average coverage of the topics evaluated.
After selecting several courses of interest, use the course identification number, found in the first column of
Exhibit 2, to locate the administrative information in Exhibit 3. By contacting the course sponsor you can
obtain additional information about the course.
As an example of the course selection process, to locate an introductory course on ground-water monitoring
that covers well design and installation, well siting, and contamination migration, you would first identify in
Exhibit 1 the appropriate subject area(s) that cover the identified topics. According to Exhibit 1, the courses
in Exhibit 2-B (Monitoring Well Technology) and in Exhibit 2-E (Ground-Water Monitoring) cover the
desired topics. Taking into consideration the possibility for a course to overlap subject areas, you would select
3-4 courses from Exhibits 2-B and 2-E at the elementary and intermediate levels. For this example, you may
have selected three courses:
#18 Hydrogeology and Well Technology;
#36 Ground-Water Monitoring and Restoration; and
#52 Ground-Water Monitoring and Sampling for the Newty Practicing Ground-Water Professional.
* This section of The OSWER Source Book is based upon a ground-water training needs analysis,
summarized in the report Meeting the Ground-Water Training Needs of Regional Personnel.
The OSWER Source Book 111
-------
Qitound-(=Wa.teii
Having selected a few courses for further consideration, you then turn to Exhibit 3 to locate the administrative
information for the selected courses using the identification number given in Exhibit 2. Exhibit 3 provides
the name of the sponsoring organization, cost information, and a contact person to call for additional
information. The final selection of a training course should be based on any additional information received
from the course sponsor.
The choice of a specific training course should be based upon your interests, needs, and responsibilities.
Review information from several courses prior to registration. Conversations with past course participants
can provide invaluable information regarding course quality and content.

OSC/RPM Support Program
For the past several years, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has been actively involved in improving
the progress of Superfund cleanups. EPA believed that the most direct approach to increasing Superfund
cleanups was to improve the knowledge and skills of the employees directly responsible for managing them.
EPA also wanted to encourage these vital people to remain with the Agency, sharing EPA's commitment to
improving the environment.
The catalyst for this increased effort to improve the progress of Superfund cleanups was external Agency and
Congressional attention to Superfund, specifically, the General Accounting Office's Report to Congress and
subsequent Congressional hearings (conducted in 1987 and chaired by Senator Frank Lautenberg, D.NJ).
Senator Lautenberg recommended that people involved in hazardous site/incident management be provided
specialized training. EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) subsequently developed
the OSC/RPM Support Program (Support Program), which was designed to improve the recruitment, training,
and retention of Superfund On-Scene Coordinators (OSCs) and Remedial Project Managers (RPMs).* As
the foundation for this program was being laid, Headquarters communicated frequently with experienced
Regional OSCs and RPMs to ensure that the proposed initiatives developed would in fact be relevant to the
needs of the people involved in managing cleanups.
OSC/RPM BASIC TRAINING ACADEMY
The Support Program has been operating for approximately two years and has been successful in reaching many
of its goals. For example, the OSC/RPM Basic Training Academy, started in 1989, was established to improve
and maintain the quality of the work force through a structured training program. Its objective is to provide
comprehensive basic training to newly-hired OSCs and RPMs. They are enrolled in the Academy within the
first six months of their start date as an OSC or RPM. The Academy is presented in three, two-week sessions
(Sessions A, B, and C) and one, one-week Hazardous Materials Incident Response Operations (health and
safety) training course. The courses in Sessions A, B, and C are taught primarily by experienced OSCs and
RPMs. Nominations to the Academy are solicited by Headquarters. Waste Management Division Directors
or Environmental Services Division Directors nominate newly hired OSCs and RPMs to the OSC/RPM Basic
Training Academy by completing the nomination form (see page 140).
While the Academy provides an introduction to a wide variety of topics and issues that OSCs/RPMs need to
know, attendance at the Academy should not preclude obtaining more extensive training. For example, while risk
assessment is discussed in the Academy, OSCs/RPMs needing training in communicating risk assessment
should attend the existing course, Risk Communication Training. Additionally, OSCs/RPMs requiring more
than an introduction to ground-water fundamentals should attend existing, more advanced ground-water
courses.
SUPERFUND UNIVERSITY TRAINING INSTITUTES (SUTI)
Specialized training is offered to OSCs and RPMs through the Superfund University Training Institutes (SUTIs).
The SUTIs are developed through the combined technical and academic expertise of EPA's environmental
research laboratories and certain universities. SUTIs offer training in emergency response, site management,
legal issues, transport and fate of contaminants in ground water, site characterization, and treatment
technologies.
An OSC is the principal Federal on-scene official and is responsible for all levels of a removal action.
An RPM manages a Superfund remedial action at a National Priorities List site and is held accountable for
total project management.
Th» OSWER Source Book 137
-------
Support
Plans are underway for a SUTIs Assistance Contacts, a resource that provides experienced OSCs and RPMs
the opportunity to contribute to the development and review of SUTI training materials. The SUTIs
Assistance Contacts will also assist in identifying qualified OSCs and RPMs who can help develop and review
course materials, and serve as instructors for SUTI courses.
MENTORING
On-the-job training is provided through the Support Program's formal Mentoring process, which involves
teaming experienced and newly-hired OSCs or RPMs. Mentoring helps bring newly-hired employees up to
speed quickly, allowing them to make significant contributions to the cleanup effort earlier than if they were
functioning on their own. OSCs and RPMs are usually assigned mentors after completing the first, two-week
session of the Basic Training Academy.
OSC/RPM SPECIAL RECOGNITION AWARDS
The Support Program recognizes and rewards the outstanding achievements of OSCs and RPMs through Special
Recognition Awards at the Regional and National levels. For the Regional Notable Achievement Awards,
OSCs and RPMs are nominated and selected by their Regions. The Regional awards include five categories:
Regional OSC of the Year;
Regional OSC Peer of the Year;
Regional RPM of the Year;
Regional RPM Peer of the Year; and
Regional Superfund Team of the Year.
There are also Regional Merit Awards, including OSC Peer of the Quarter, RPM Peer of the Quarter, and
"On-the-Spot" Awards.
National Notable Achievement Awards occur at the national level, where each Region's nominees are reviewed
by a National Awards Panel. The Panel selects the "best of the best" in each of the National Notable
Achievement Awards categories:
National OSC of the Year;
National RPM of the Year;
National OSC Supervisor of the Year,
National RPM Supervisor of the Year; and
National Superfund Team of the Year (two awards are presented).
Recipients of the National Notable Achievement Awards are invited to EPA Headquarters, where they are
honored in a special ceremony.
The Regional and National Notable Achievement Awards are provided exclusively for OSCs and RPMs, except
for the Superfund Team of the Year awards. These are designed explicitly to allow for Regional and National
recognition of the exemplary efforts of staff (in addition to OSCs and RPMs) who are involved in a Superfund-
related team activity. These teams might include attorneys, paralegals, or clerical staff contributions within
a group effort; teamwork with the U.S. Coast Guard; and other examples of exceptional team efforts.
STRUCTURED TRAINING AND EVALUATION PROGRAM (STEP)
The Structured Training and Evaluation Program (STEP) component of the Support Program is designed to
recognize different levels of professional accomplishments achieved by OSCs and RPMs based on training,
experience, and performance. These levels provide a progression through which OSCs and RPMs can gain
recognition for their continuing career development. There are four levels of recognition in STEP: Basic,
Intermediate, Advanced, and Master. Specific criteria in the categories of training, experience, and
performance provide goals for achievement of each recognition level. As OSCs and RPMs gain more training
and experience in their jobs, they attain recognition at higher levels of STEP. Each year, OSCs and RPMs
138 Th* OSWER Source Boo*
-------
will be given the opportunity to attain recognition at the next higher STEP level by providing documentation
that they have successfully fulfilled the criteria. OSCs and RPMs are awarded STEP certificates in recognition
of their achievements, to reward them for their career development and to encourage them to continue gaining
valuable experience and training.
OSC/RPM CAREER LEVEL UPGRADED
To further enhance their opportunities and encourage OSCs and RPMs to remain with EPA, the Support
Program, working with EPA's Office of Human Resources Management, was successful in obtaining the GS-13
career level for OSCs and RPMs. Formerly, this level was available only to employees with supervisory
responsibilities. OSCs and RPMs now have the opportunity for promotion to Grade 13, based on the
complexity of their technical responsibility.
FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES
Although EPA is understandably proud of the accomplishments of the OSC/RPM Support Program, we are not
willing to rest on these achievements. Currently, plans are underway to provide additional training and career
enhancement opportunities through a Professional Development component. This will focus on providing
OSCs and RPMs with access to information and guidance on the availability of job-related opportunities in
continuing education, rotational assignments (intra-Regional, inter-Regional and beyond), and national and
international hiatuses. In addition, we will continue to seek the advice and opinions of OSCs and RPMs to
ensure that the Support Program remains effective and provides OSCs and RPMs with the opportunities and
encouragement that mean the most to them.

non-volatile analytes such as metals. The second half demonstrates
the use of the Zero-Headspace Extractor, which is needed when
volatiles are of concern. Both sections pay close attention to the
variations in the procedure based upon waste composition —
whether it is 100% solid, 50% solid, and/or multiphasic.

This is a documentary-style video which chronicles research on the
analysis of difficult to filter wastes for mobility and teachability.
Oily wastes, for example, have been known to clog filters in Method
1311 evaluations. This video shows the development and use of soil
column tests to model the behavior of these wastes in a landfill
environment. It further documents efforts to modify the TCLP to
better predict that behavior. Finally, the video provides instruction
on how to perform the modified method. This video complements
the training video for Method 1311, but can be viewed by itself.

milestone data related to the RI/FS, ROD, RD, and RA. In
addition, CleanLAN contains data provided by EPA such as site
description, location, remedial event data, and milestone data. The
structure of CleanLAN is similar to the WasteLAN structure, and
includes operable units, events, subevents, and milestones
information.
CleanLAN is an on-line system that is menu-driven. The pro-
spective user must obtain a CleanLAN account. Access is restricted

managers in implementing their responsibilities under the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act.
SYSTEM ELEMENTS
The current CAMEO MAC v. 3.0 is an updated version of CAMEO
II that takes advantage of HyperCard 2.0 and contains an expanded
chemical database, with response information and recommendations
for over 3,300 chemicals and synonyms. CAMEO MAC also
includes an enhanced version of the air dispersion model, Areal
Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres (ALOHA v. 5.0), to be used
integrated within the CAMEO MAC or as a stand-alone program
on an Apple Macintosh computer. CAMEO also has the capability
of importing chemical release information from the SARA Title III
Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) database.
In addition, a CAMEO DOS v. 1.0 version, modeled after CAMEO
MAC, is also available. CAMEO DOS shares the Title III
emergency planning capabilities and functions, and also contains the
expanded chemical database. However, while CAMEO DOS can
conduct hazard and vulnerability analyses, it does not include
ALOHA CAMEO DOS does have the import/export capability of
CAMEO MAC and data can be exchanged between the DOS and
MAC versions. CAMEO DOS also contains a new mapping
module, Mapping Application for Response, Planning, and Location

Superfund Technical Support Project
OVERVIEW
The Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER), Regional Superfund Offices, and the Office
of Research and Development (ORD) established the Superfund Technical Support Project (TSP) in 1987 to
provide technology-based assistance to Regional Remedial Project Managers (RPMs) and On-Scene
Coordinators (OSCs) through ORD laboratories. The Project consists of a network of Regional Forums and
six specialized Technical Support Centers (TSCs) located in ORD laboratories and at OSWER's
Environmental Response Branch office. The TSP aims to meet four objectives:
• Provide technical support and assistance to Regional staff;
• Improve communications among Regions and ORD laboratories;
• Ensure coordination and consistency in the application of remedial technologies; and
• Furnish high-technology workshops and state-of-the-science information for RPMs and OSCs.
Technical Support Centers
Technical Support Centers provide technological support and assistance through telephone communications,
site visits, document review, technology evaluation, information clearinghouses, the OSWER Electronic
Bulletin Board, demonstration projects, publication of reports and journal articles, and technical workshops.
There are six TSCs providing these services to OSCs and RPMs. The centers provide technology-based
assistance in several areas:
Monitoring and site characterization;
Ground-water fate and transport;
Engineering and treatment;
Exposure and ecorisk assessment;
Emergency response, remedial and removal technologies; and
Health and risk assessment.
Regional Forums
Technical Support Forums are comprised of one or more technical specialists, and RPMs or OSCs from each
of EPA's ten Regions. Regional technical personnel have established Forums in Ground-Water Fate and
Transport and Engineering. Forum members provide information to OSC/RPMs in their Regions regarding
TSP efforts, research undertaken by the Centers, and problems and successes experienced by other Regions,
including the application of remedial technologies at Superfund sites. Forum representatives provide support
in several ways:
• Working to improve communications among the Regions, TSCs, headquarters personnel, and
existing EPA technical programs;
• Identifying specific technical issues and needs, and working with the Centers to address these
issues in order to facilitate successful completion of Superfund site remediation;
• Acting as a technical resource to the Regions and the centers; and
• Routing technical assistance information to Regional colleagues.
Tho OSWER Source Book 345
-------
Technical Assistance Requests
Questions regarding technical information sources or other brief requests may be directed to any of the
Technical Support Centers. If more substantial assistance is required, call your Regional Forum representative
to discuss your technology-related problems. Your Regional Forum representative will help you initiate a
technical assistance project or site visit from the appropriate TSC.
Projects requiring a commitment of resources from a TSC may be initiated through a telephone conversation,
but must be followed up with a written request to the Center director. Copies must also be forwarded to the
TSP Project Manager and to the Regional Branch Chief. Once authorization has been received, the TSC team
member will work directly with the OSC or RPM requesting assistance.
Each site is limited to a ceiling of $50,000 in extramural support through the TSP, unless special written
approval is granted from the TSP Project Manager.1 Additional funding from the Regions is encouraged -
site-specific Regional funds allocated through the Superfund Comprehensive Accomplishments Plan (SCAP)
may be used. The TSCs are responsible for establishing budgets and tracking expenditures for each request
at each site. This is important information for determining the level of potential cost recovery for each site
and ensuring that the limited resources available under the TSP are equitably distributed among the Regions.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT CENTERS
