These workshops are sponsored by the Center for Environmental
Research Information, Cincinnati, OH.

Background and Purpose

The workshops are being presented to introduce the "Handbook
on QA/QC Procedures for Hazardous Waste Incineration" being
developed  for EPA  by one of  its  contractors.   The  primary
audience for the  handbook and subseguently the workshops  is
EPA RCRA permit writers  and permit applicants for hazardous
waste  incinerators.   Additionally,  however,  the  workshop
potentially will have a diverse audience  -- engineers,  chemists,
environmental scientists, plant managers, and  EPA staff of all
levels.   The workshops on  QA/QC Procedures for Hazardous
Waste Incineration will involve explanations of, and exercises in,
process monitoring, sampling, and analytical activities, after first
defining  the Data Quality Objectives (DQOs) needed for testing
and sampling hazardous waste incinerators, including procedures
during the trial burns.  QA/QC procedures shall be defined for
those  pollutants  normally associated with emissions  from an
incinerator, such as POHCs,  PICs, metals, particulates,  dioxins,
furans, acid gases, and combustion gases.
