MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: Treatability Studies Contractor Work Assignments
O>>A, I*'
FROM: Henry L. Longest II, Director
, Office of Emergency and Remedial Response
TO: Superfund Branch Chiefs, Regions I-X
Purpose
The purpose of this memo is to require that all future
remedial and removal work assignments involving treatability
studies contain a provision requiring the contractor to send a
copy of the treatability study to the Agency's Superfund
Treatability Data Base which is being developed by the Office of
Research and Development (ORD) . In addition, you are also
directed to send a copy of all treatability studies performed to
date and which are readily available, to this central repository.
Background
The Agency has initiated a treatability study program to
facilitate the performance of and improve the quality of
treatability studies performed in support of the Superfund
program. The establishment of a Treatability Data Base is an
important part of this program if we are to utilize this
information to aid in the selection of remedies and the planning
of future treatability studies. A centralized repository for
treatability studies is not currently in place and knowledge
gained from treatability studies is not efficiently communicated.
ORD is developing a repository for the studies to aid us in this
area.
This repository will provide information to aid in remedy
selections on a site-specific basis, improve future planning for
treatability studies, and further our knowledge of technologies
on a national basis. It is our intention to minimize Regional.
resources required to maintain the data base in the future by
requiring the contractors to assume responsibility for sending
treatability studies to the central repository. The treatability
studies collected as a result of this effort will ensure that
information available reflects current Superfund experience.
-------
The treatability study information as well as other pertinent
technical information, will be available to the Regions and
contractors through the Alternative Treatment Technology
Information Center (ATTIC) in FY 1990. Please contact Mike
Mastracci at FTS 475-8933 (mail code RD-681 at the U.S. EPA HQ).
Implementation
Work assignment managers and project officers for- removal
and the remedial projects are to include a provision in all future
work assignments requiring that copies of treatability studies be
sent to the following address:
Attn: Ken Dostle
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Superfund Treatability Data Base
ORD/REEL
26 W. Martin Luther King Drive
Cincinnati, Ohio 45268
The work assignment should also require that the
treatability study report provided to ORD be a separate and
complete document which is a camera-ready master copy. We are
also collecting treatability studies retroactively as well. You
are directed to send copies of all treatability studies that are
readily available to the address identified above.
The Agency is also developing detailed guidance on planning
and performing treatability studies with the first of these
planned for distribution in early FY-90. Today's memo will be
updated in the future to require that contractors comply with
these guidances as well. Your assistance with the development
and implementation of this program is appreciated. '.Please
contact Robin Anderson at FTS 382-2446 or Scott -Maid at
FTS 382-4671 if you have question or comments on the application
.of this requirement to the remedial or removal program
respectively.
