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 the near future. The course descriptions
include course title, content, and registration information. The following paragraphs describe
how to locate a particular course and where to obtain scheduling information.
The course descriptions are organized by subject area, for example, CERCLA-Related,
Enforcement, or RCRA-Related. Course descriptions are listed alphabetically within their
primary subject area. A list of cross references to additional training is also provided at the
conclusion of each subject area to identify courses listed under other subject areas that may
cover relevant information.
A Matrix of Training Courses (see page 7) lists courses by level (Beginner, Intermediate,
Advanced) within subject areas to assist you in locating a particular course. Subject areas
and course levels appear in boldface print, centered above a listing of all relevant training
courses and their page numbers. As appropriate, an individual course may be listed under
several subject areas to reflect multi-disciplinary content.
Course descriptions indicate the course level as Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced.
Beginner-level courses have no prerequisites and are developed for individuals with a
minimal technical background in a subject area. Intermediate-level courses may specify
prerequisites, require a minimum level of technical proficiency or knowledge in a subject
area. Advanced courses offer expert-level training for experienced staff. If you have a
question as to which level of instruction is appropriate, contact the individual listed as the
contact in the course description.
To determine the dates and locations of training courses listed in this section, consult the
Quarterly OSWER Training Calendar. The Calendar is issued by the Technology Innovation
Office (TIO) every three months and is distributed to all EPA Regions and to the Association
for State and Territorial Solid Waste Management OfHcials (ASTSWMO) for subsequent
distribution to States. To request the Calendar, contact the EPA Technology Innovation Office:
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response
Technology Innovation Office (OS-HOW)
Washington, DC 20460
Scheduling information can also be obtained by calling the course contact provided for each
description or the appropriate EPA Headquarters, Subject Area, or Regional Training
Representative listed on pages 2-6. In addition, scheduling and other training information is
available by accessing either of two computer bulletin boards: the Clean-Up Information
Bulletin Board System (CLU-IN) and the Hazardous Materials Information Exchange (HMIX).
See pages 151 and 168 of the Information Systems and Software section for more information
on these computer bulletin boards.

information on regulated hazardous waste facilities, generators and
transporters.
2. Permitting/Closure/Post-Closure (PMT/CL/PC) - Tracks information on
the status of permit applications for hazardous waste facilities.
3. Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement (CM&E) — Tracks and
maintains data on inspections, violations, enforcement actions, and return
to compliance.
4. Corrective Action (CA) - Supports the permit writing and enforcement
program coordination necessary for an effective corrective action
program.
5. Program Management (PM) — Supports the State, Regional, and national
management and evaluation needs of the RCRA program.
6. Facility Management Planning (FMP) — Supports the development and

Explain the importance of PA and SI decisions in the overall context of site
assessment. Teach how to efficiently conduct PA and how to test site hypotheses
made during the PA at the SI.
EPA Regional offices, State programs, contractors and others who are required to
conduct preliminary assessments and site inspections under Superfund
Participants will be involved in evaluating 2 example sites. During the first day,
participants will learn how to efficiently collect PA data, and how to use PA tools
such as look-up tables, criteria lists, and score sheets to develop a site-specific
hypothesis. All 4 exposure pathways - ground water, surface water, soil
exposure and air — and unique characteristics for evaluating each will be
explained. Participants will also evaluate sources, and become familiar with
making critical judgments on the likelihood of release, and whether or not
human health and the environment is impacted by releases from the site. During
the second and third days, participants will learn how to re-create and test PA
hypotheses and design a sampling strategy to test those hypotheses. The course
emphasizes strategic sampling strategies for all 4 exposure pathways.
Participants will also learn the HRS requirements driving the structure of an SI
and become familiar with evaluating analytical data and some aspects of SI
scoring. Particular emphasis will be placed on sampling strategies to evaluate
the surface water pathway. The course provides a brief overview of PA-score
and Prescore.

The course focuses on the development of sampling plans, the types of
equipment suitable for hazardous materials sampling, and procedures for safely
collecting samples. Several topics are discussed: sampling planning and
development; equipment needs and procedures for sampling containerized
materials, surface water/lagoons, sediments/sludges and soil/ground water;
shipping samples; soil gas sampling; geophysical techniques; and quality
assurance considerations. Instructional methods used are lectures, group
discussions, demonstrations, and field exercises. The hands-on use of multi-
media sampling equipment is emphasized. The course is consistent with the EPA
protocol and guidance documents, A Compendium of Superfund Field Operations

Ground-Water Training Matrix Training iM
In 1989, OSWER conducted a survey of government-sponsored and commercially-offered
ground-water training courses to inventory available training. The report, entitled Meeting
the Ground-Water Training Needs of Regional Personnel, identified and evaluated a total of 112
ground-water related training courses that could be useful to CERCLA Remedial Project
Managers and On-Scene Coordinators, RCRA Permit Writers, and technical enforcement
personnel.
Because the conclusions drawn from this survey are based upon dated information, this
section has been condensed to contain only administrative information. Specifically, Exhibit 1
on the following pages provides important information for identifying these additional
sources of ground-water training including the name of the sponsoring organization, cost
information, and a contact person to call for further information. Courses are listed in
alphabetical order by sponsor. Again, because the survey that formed the basis for the
Exhibit was performed in 1989, you are advised for planning purposes to first contact the
organizations listed to determine if the courses are still offered, at what price, and other
important details.
The choice of a specific training course should be based upon your interests, needs, and
responsibilities. Review information from several courses prior to registration. The final
selection of a training course should be based on any additional information received from
the course sponsor.

program. This unique training forum is implemented by the
Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Solid Waste and
Emergency Response (OSWER), Technology Innovation Office (TIO).
Introduction The CEC offers a flexible approach to proven training applications, and
restructures existing Superfund training efforts to better meet the needs of
experienced Superfund staff, as well as the needs of Federal agency, State, and
local personnel.
The CEC:
• Provides training to participants with various levels of experience by
building a foundation of Superfund knowledge for newly hired OSCs and
RPMs, as well as providing more advanced training in specific areas for
experienced Superfund staff
• Provides the participants with the ability to take courses that are of
particular interest to them when they need the courses most
• Continues to encourage EPA staff to exchange ideas, learn new ways of
solving problems, and develop a wider spectrum of working relationships
• Minimizes the participants' time away from the office by offering topical
coursework that will be one week or less in length.
Structure The CEC begins with the Fundamentals of Superfund course which provides a
general introduction and overview of the Superfund program. At the next
level, the CEC presents comprehensive coverage of the various Superfund
processes, including Removal Process, Remedial Process, Enforcement Process
and Community Relations. At a third level, the CEC will provide more
specific technical training in areas including hydrogeology, treatment
technologies, and federal facility enforcement.
Fundamentals
of Superfund
Course
This introductory session is designed to provide newly
hired site/incident managers and other environmental
professionals with an overview of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) and the National Contingency Plan (NCP).
Other topics include response activities and responsibilities,
discovery and notification, remedial investigations/
feasibility studies (RI/FS), record of decision (ROD), and
remedial design/remedial action (RD/RA). An overview of
enforcement topics including CERCLA liability, identifying
potentially responsible parties (PRPs), settlement tools,
ensuring adequate PRP response, and authorities and
liabilities are also covered during this session.

The session is designed for RPMs and other environmental
professionals with 1 to 3 years of experience who are
responsible for or need to know about remedial response
activities under CERCLA. This session covers CERCLA and
the NCP, site characterization strategies, oversight of PRP-
lead RI/FS, ARARs, risk management decision making,
ground-water and soil policies, Superfund decision
documents, options for RD/RA, the Superfund Accelerated
Cleanup Model, Superfund contracting issues, and the
Superfund long-term contracting strategy.
This session is designed for OSCs and other environmental
professionals with 1 to 3 years of experience who are
responsible for or need to know about removal response
activities under CERCLA. This session will discuss removal
program policy and guidance including tools for removal
site management and on-site and off-site waste disposal
options. Enforcement topics to be covered include access,
PRP response, takings and disposition of property issues.
Other subjects to be discussed include removal contracting
issues, the Superfund Accelerated Cleanup Model, and oil
spill response.
This course is designed to provide site/incident managers
with an understanding of the legal and policy issues that
are an integral part of Superfund. The course begins with
an enforcement overview and continues with Superfund
liability and PRP search reviews. The course will also
discuss administrative and judicial law involvement in
Superfund. An in-depth, 2-day negotiation skills workshop
is also presented.
This course is designed for Regional and State site/incident
managers, enforcement personnel, community relations
coordinators, and other staff who need to know the
requirements for community involvement under CERCLA.
The session covers concepts and skills to use when working
with citizens, local elected officials, the media, responsible
parties, and other members of the public. These skills can
be useful in holding public meetings, building good media
relations, and enhancing conflict management. Practical
exercises are used to inform trainees and elicit discussion.
Interactive group exercises and videotaping allow
participants to combine "survival skills" with the strategic
planning and teamwork that are required by actual
situations. This course is also offered separately from the
CEC under the title of Community Relations in Superfund:
Concepts and Skills for Response Staff (see page 22).

Future The CEC's curriculum will continue to expand with a series of specialized
Directions training topics. These sessions will enable participants to
acquire training in specialized areas such as treatment technologies (including
innovative technologies) and Federal facilities enforcement.
After a trial period, TIO will also analyze the CEC's effectiveness in order to
determine the feasibility of continuing to hold the training at its present
location and establishing another CEC location on the Wes*- Coast.
Location The CEC is held at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina.
State-of-the-art training techniques and facilities are used to maximize training
effectiveness. Innovative training concepts such as interactive videos,
computer-based training, and multimedia presentations are used to enhance
the delivery of the training. Some sessions will also use advanced
telecommunications capabilities to enable participation in CEC courses from
other locations. For example, video-teleconferencing will be available to
reduce Federal and State staff travel needs.

known to clog filters in Method 1311 evaluations. This videotape 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 videotape provides
instruction on how to perform the modified method. This videotape

These videotapes provide guidance on the purpose and structure of RCRIS,
and how to use the various components of the system. RCRIS tracks
information on facilities that generate, transport, and/or treat, store, and
dispose hazardous waste. The system supports program activity using six
major modules:
1. Handler Identification (HID) — Tracks and maintains descriptive
information on regulated hazardous waste facilities, generators and
transporters.
2. Permitting/Closure/Post-Closure (PMT/CL/PC) - Tracks information on
the status of permit applications for hazardous waste facilities.
3. Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement (CM&E) — Tracks and
maintains data on inspections, violations, enforcement actions, and return
to compliance.
4. Corrective Action (CA) — Supports the permit writing and enforcement
program coordination necessary for an effective corrective action program.
5. Program Management (PM) — Supports the State, Regional, and national
management and evaluation needs of the RCRA program.
6. Facility Management Planning (FMP) -- Supports the development and
analysis of facility management plans.
The goal of the videotapes is to provide a general overview of RCRIS and
training on data entry, reporting, and reconciliation procedures. One copy is
available at the EPA Headquarters library; another copy is available through
OSW.

CERCLIS is a database that helps EPA Headquarters and Regional personnel
with site and program management by assisting the process of planning,
budgeting, and tracking site assessment, remedial, removal, and enforcement
steps. Regions use uploads from WasteLAN to report through CERCLIS to
Headquarters on the status of major stages of cleanup at sites. CERCLIS
information is available to members of the public through the FOIA process or
from the National Technical Information Service.
CERCLIS maintains an inventory of abandoned, inactive, or uncontrolled
hazardous waste sites. CERCLIS contains information summarizing evaluations,
cleanup steps, and negotiation and cost recovery enforcement activities taken at
each site. CERCLIS includes data on operable units, events, subevents, some
technical and chemical information, enforcement activities, milestones, remedies,
and financial information.
CERCLIS is an on-line system that is menu-driven. A mainframe account and
CERCLIS authorization are required. Access is restricted to EPA Superfund
personnel.
CERCLIS is implemented on EPA's mainframe under System 2000 (S2K) and data
is accessed through COBOL, SAS, FOCUS, and S2K reports. The mainframe can
be accessed through a dedicated line or dial-up, and a variety of communications
packages support these alternatives.
A terminal or personal computer may be used to connect to the mainframe via a
modem dial-up or a dedicated line incorporating either a controller or an SNA
gateway.

CleanLAN was developed to automate data sharing between the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) and EPA for Superfund sites. CleanLAN assists the
process of planning, budgeting, and tracking remedial cleanups. EPA data
applicable to CleanLAN is entered in WasteLAN, uploaded to CERCLIS, and
downloaded to CleanLAN. USACE data applicable to EPA is uploaded from
CleanLAN through CERCLIS to the appropriate Region's WasteLAN.
The CleanLAN audience includes EPA Regional Superfund managers and
USACE managers for sites where EPA has assigned remedial cleanup
responsibility to USACE.
CleanLAN contains USACE project level data such as Project Type and Key,
District and Division name, and Project Narrative and 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 milestone information.
CleanLAN is an on-line system that is menu-driven. The prospective user must
obtain a CleanLAN account. Access is restricted to USACE project managers and
EPA Superfund personnel.
CleanLAN is implemented using FoxPro under MS-DOS 3.3.
Currently, CleanLAN is maintained in a local area network (LAN), ideally with
an entire file server reserved exclusively for CleanLAN and providing at least
20M of hard disk space. Three LANs are interconnected: two in Omaha and one
in Kansas City. Workstations should be 100% IBM-compatible with at least a
monochrome or CGA monitor, and a minimum of 640K RAM.
USACE Project Managers and EPA Superfund staff should see the System
Administrators in their respective District/Division or Regional Offices for
CleanLAN access.

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, 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,

OSC/RPM Support Program
Support Programs
Overview
Career Level
Upgrade
OSC/RPM
Support Program
The workforces at the Federal, State and local levels
have been faced with an increasing demand for
personnel who are skilled in the various disciplines
encompassing environmental science and management.
Managers of the Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA) Superfund Program, encountering the impact of
these demands, recognized that continued Program
success would require special attention be directed
towards the recruitment, training, and retention of the Agency's
hazardous waste site/incident managers. EPA was facing personnel
shortages in key technical areas and high turnover among its On-Scene
Coordinators (OSCs) and Remedial Project Managers (RPMs). OSCs respond
to immediate threats to public health and the environment and RPMs
manage the long-term cleanup of contaminated waste sites. EPA's Office
of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) subsequently
developed the On-Scene Coordinator (OSC)/Remedial Project Manager (RPM)
Support Program (Support Program), which was designed to improve the
recruitment, training, and retention of these individuals.
To ensure that the Support Program would accurately address
recruitment, retention and training issues, key EPA employees were
involved both in setting objectives and participating in the strategic
planning of activities that would meet those objectives. A group of
advisors who could clearly define the needs of OSCs and RPMs as well as
contribute to identifying ways to meet those needs was convened. Those
advisors - consisting of representative OSCs and RPMs from each Region
— worked with Headquarters staff focusing on training needs; initiatives
that would provide recognition for professional skills and accomplish-
ments; rewards for outstanding efforts OSCs and RPMs make on behalf of
Superfund; and a career ladder that would encourage OSCs and RPMs to
remain with Superfund.
Teamwork was integral to the design and development of the Support
Program. The internal coordination of efforts that occurred among
OSWER staff, Regional Superfund managers and staff, and the Office of
Human Resources Management (OHRM) provided a solid beginning to a
dynamic, flexible program for OSCs and RPMs.
The Support Program consists of the following components, each
designed to address some aspect of OSC/RPM recruitment, training or
retention.
Much of the Support Program's success is attributable to the broad range
of issues its components have addressed. For example, one of
the first major accomplishments of the OSC/RPM Support Program was
improving the career track for OSCs and RPMs. OSWER, working with
OHRM, successfully obtained the GS-13 career level. OSCs and RPMs
now have the opportunity for promotion to Grade 13 based on the
complexity of their technical responsibility. In the past, this level was
available only to employees with supervisory responsibility. By working
to provide OSCs and RPMs with this opportunity for career
advancement, the Support Program has provided a significant
contribution to Superfund's personnel retention efforts.

Support Programs
OSC/RPM Support Program
Mentoring
Special
Recognition
Awards
Formalized on-the-job training is provided through the Support
Program's Mentoring process. Mentoring helps bring newly-hired
employees up to speed quickly, providing them with structured on-the-
job training and allowing them to make significant contributions to the
cleanup effort earlier than if they were functioning on their own. A
guide that explains how the Mentoring process works and defines the
roles and responsibilities of all parties to the process is provided to each
mentor and protege prior to their teaming. A checklist of activities that
the mentor should involve the protege in during the Mentoring process is
included in the guide.
The OSCs' and KPMs' outstanding achievements are recognized and
rewarded through the Special Recognition Awards. This occurs at two
levels: regionally, through the Regional Notable Achievement Awards,
and nationally, through the National Notable Achievement Awards.
Recipients receive recognition through cash awards, certificates and
ceremonies.
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
Regional Superfund Teams of the Year (two teams per Region).
Recipients of Regional awards are honored in a special ceremony with the
Regional Administrator.
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 /ear
National RPM Supervisor of the Year
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 with
the EPA Administrator.
The Regional and National Notable Achievement Awards are awarded
exclusively to OSCs and RPMs, except for the Superfund Team of the
Year awards. Superfund Team awards provide Regional and National
recognition of the exemplary efforts of additional staff involved in
Superfund activities. These team members may include attorneys,
paralegals and clerical personnel from EPA.

The Structured Training and Evaluation Program (STEP) provides
recognition for the professional growth of OSCs and RPMs. Specific
criteria in the categories of training, experience, and performance provide
foals for achievement and recognition. The STEP process, including level
esignations, is undergoing review for possible modification.
The most recently developed Support Program component concentrates
on providing OSCs and RPMs with information on
opportunities for continuing their professional growth through rotations,
assignments, and/or attending courses offered by universities and other
learning centers. For those OSCs and RPMs interested in rotations or
assignments, The Guide to Professional Development provides highlights of
Federal regulations to be aware of before pursuing an assignment. The
Guide also provides a continuing education course listing on a variety of
hazardous waste courses available through universities and other
resources across the United States.
Another unique facet of this component is the development of an
OSC/RPM skills data base. The data base will provide EPA managers
and other staff with a resource of technical expertise in the many areas of
hazardous waste management.
The Support Program also provides support for OSCs' and RPMs'
professional organizations — the National On-Scene Coordinators
Association (NOSCA) and the National Association of Remedial Project
Managers (NARPM).
Advanced-level training is offered to OSCs and RPMs through the
Superfund University Training Institutes (SUTIs). Courses are developed
through the combined technical and academic expertise of the EPA Office
of Research and Development laboratories and specific universities. OSCs
and RPMs with topic-specific expertise are also encouraged to participate
in the development and instruction of the SUTIs. SUTIs offer courses on
emergency response issues, treatment technologies, transport and fate of
contaminants in ground water, and site characterization. The courses run
from 2% to 5 days in length. For additional information, contact the
individual SUTI directors listed below.

OSC/RPM Support Program Support Programs
Future During the three years that the OSC/RPM Support Program has been
Opportunities operational, hundreds of Superfund professionals have participated in the
various training and career enhancement opportunities offered. The
Support Program has evolved from a concept to an independent,
successful program. The goals established in 1987-88 have been met, as
evidenced by an increase in the average number of years that OSCs and
RPMs have been in their positions and a decrease in the annual turnover
rate.
At the root of the Program's past success and future directions is a firm
commitment to actively seeking and incorporating the input of OSCs and
RPMs. This input is necessary to help ensure that Program components
continue to provide effective and meaningful support. As other needs

Superfund Technical
Support Project
Direct Technical Assistance for RPMs and OSCs
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, five
specialized Technical Support Centers (TSCs) located in ORD
laboratories, one TSC in the Office of Radiation Programs, and one TSC
at OSWER's Environmental Response Team. The objectives of the TSP
are to:
Provide the opportunity for Headquarters, Labs, and Regions to address
specific needs of Regional technical staff by providing them with state-of-
the-science technicafassistance
Improve communications among Regions and ORD and OAR laboratories
Ensure coordination and consistency in the application of remedial
technologies
Furnish nigh-technology demonstrations, workshops and state-of-the-science
information for RPMs and OSCs
Facilitate the evaluation and application of alternative investigatory and
remedial techniques at Superfund sites.
Technical Technical Support Centers provide support and assistance to Regional staff
Support through telephone communications, site visits, document review, technology
Centers evaluation, information clearinghouses, the OSWER Cleanup Information
Bulletin Board, demonstration projects, publication of reports and journal
articles, and technical workshops. There are seven TSCs providing these
services to OSCs and RPMs through the TSP. The Centers provide technology-
based assistance in the areas of:
Monitoring and Site Characterization
Ground-Water Fate and Transport
Engineering and Treatment
Exposure and Ecorisk Assessment
Emergency Response, Remedial and Removal Technologies
Health and Risk Assessment
Radiological and Chemical Assessment.
Technical
Support
Forums
Technical Support Forums are comprised of one or more technical specialists,
RPMs, or OSCs from each of EPA's ten Regions. Two Forums have been
established to date: Ground-Water Fate anaTransport and Engineering. Forum
members provide information to OSCs/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:
• Channel communications among the Regions, TSCs, Headquarters
personnel, and existing EPA technical programs
• Identify specific technical issues and needs, and work with the Centers to
address these issues in order to facilitate successful completion of Superfund
site remediation
• Act as a technical resource to the Regions and the Centers
• Route technical assistance information to Regional colleagues.

Superfund Technical
Support Project
Support Programs
Project
Accomplish-
ments
The Technical Support Centers have provided technical assistance on over
1,400 projects in response to Regional requests, as well as responded to
hundreds of telephone inquiries. These projects have included various types
of technical assistance such as:
• Reviews of contractor workplans and reports (e.g., risk assessments, models,
RIs, FSs, and RDs)
Treatability studies (e.g., bioremediation, S/S, soil washing, incineration)
Selection and evaluation of remedial technologies
Development and review of sampling plans, application of models,
interpretation of data
Application of innovative technologies and field studies
Development of technical workshops and training
Preparation of "Issue Papers" to address specific Regional technical needs
identified by the Forums.
Project The TSP is accessed by a telephone call or letter to one of the Center Directors.
Inquiries Any Regional staff member involved in the Superfund program can contact the
Centers directly or with the assistance of a Forum member in their Region.
The Center Director will discuss your problem, and if substantial assistance is
needed to solve the problem (e.g., more than two person-days of effort), he or
she will initiate a TSP project. All such projects must be formally requested by
the Regional recipient in writing.
Project Each site is limited to a ceiling of $50,000 in extramural support through the
Funding TSP, unless special written approval is granted from the TSP Project
Manager.1 Additional funding from the Regions is encouraged using site-
specific Regional funds that have been allocated through the Superfund
Comprehensive Accomplishments Plan (SCAP). The TSCs are responsible for
establishing budgets and tracking expenditures for each request and 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.
Project A Superfund Technical Support Project Guide is available which contains
Brochure more detailed information on initiating a technical assistance request, project
tracking, follow-up, and special procedures. This Guide is available from any
TSC, Forum member or support project contact listed on the following pages.
Selecting Projects implemented under the Superfund program require a vast array of
a Technical technical knowledge and expertise. This expertise is made available by the
Support Technical Support Centers to all RPMs and OSCs in support of their Superfund
Center projects. Prior to initiating a technical assistance request, the appropriate
receiving TSC should be determined. The following table lists seven broad
areas of technical expertise and the corresponding Centers that provide this
expertise through the TSP.
To determine the current TSP funding status of a specific site, contact your Forum member or the TSP Project
Manager. This information is also available through the OSWER Cleanup Information Bulletin Board.
