               ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE TRAINING PROGRAM

The Office of Emergency and Remedial Response (OERR) is responsible for the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency's (EPA) program for protecting the public and the environment from releases or potential releases of
hazardous materials. Releases can result from accidents and discharges at facilities where chemicals are handled
or disposed of.  Releases of hazardous materials may require an immediate response by government officials
to control the incident. In addition, extensive investigation and restoration actions that extend over a long period
of time may be required.

As  part of EPA's comprehensive program for protecting the public  and the environment from hazardous
materials, the Emergency Response Division of OERR has developed the Environmental Response Training
Program (ERTP).  The courses in this program are designed for personnel who respond to emergencies or who
investigate and clean up abandoned hazardous waste sites. Training is provided in safety and health as well as
in the various technical operations needed to identify, evaluate, and control hazardous substances that have been
released.

The courses developed by EPA's Environmental Response Team, and presented by contract personnel, last from
1-5 days.  These courses emphasize the  practical application of lecture material through problem-solving
sessions, case studies, demonstrations, and exercises using field instruments. Participants are provided with
fundamental information about the subject of the course. Complemented by work experience and individual
effort, the courses provide a foundation upon which individuals  can  further refine and develop their own
knowledge and skills in a variety of response activities.

The selection of students for EPA courses is made 6 weeks prior to the starting date of the course.  Make
sure applications are either faxed or mailed to the Training Registrar's office prior to the date the selections are
made so they will be included in the pool of applications. After the selections are made, students who are
accepted into a class will receive an acceptance letter and information relative to attending the course.  Students
who are not selected will receive a notification letter and can notify the Training Registrar if they would like
to be placed on a waiting list for the  course.

Employees from EPA, other federal agencies, state and local government are given first priority to attend ERTP
courses.  Applications from private sector employees are considered on a space-available basis.

Students must be notified of their acceptance before attending any ERTP course. Walk-ins who have not
been notified of their acceptance will be asked to leave.

Note: If a student is accepted for a  course, but is unable to  attend, the Training Registrar must be notified
      immediately in order to notify applicants from the -waiting list. Failure to notify the registrar prior to the
      starting date of the course will jeopardize an applicant's chances to attend future courses.

-------
Applicants who are External Providers, Superfund contractors, or members of state or local emergency planning
commissions (SEPC/LEPC) must indicate this information on their application, not just in a cover letter or on
a fax transmittal sheet (the latter are often separated from the applications for processing).

Course Locations

ERTP courses are offered in each EPA region and at the ERTP Training Facilities located in Cincinnati, Ohio,
and Edison, New Jersey. The courses offered in each region and at each training center are listed in the course
catalog.

City and state locations for courses are determined by the Regional Training Coordinators.  These locations are
generally not arranged before the Schedule of Courses is printed, and courses are rarely held at the Regional
Training Coordinator's office.  Contact the  Training Registrar's  office  for course locations (for courses in
Regions 1 and 6, contact the Regional Training Coordinator directly).

Class Attendance

ERTP courses are used to meet certain regulatory or educational requirements. Therefore, students are required
to attend full-time.  Students who miss any  session of a course will not be awarded a course certificate of
completion.
Credit for Attending Courses

The successful completion of ERTP courses allows participants to receive credit that can be used to advance
their professional careers. The types of credit available are:

    •  Continuing Education Unit (CEU)

    Organizations using the criteria established by the Council on Continuing Education may award Continuing
    Education Units (CEUs) for their training courses. CEUs are a means whereby qualified, noncredit granting
    organizations are provided a uniform and standardized system for measuring their courses. CEUs are used
    by  students to demonstrate their continuing interest in life-long learning and education.  Each course
    description lists the CEUs associated with the course.

    •  American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH) Certification Maintenance (CM) Points

    The American Board of Industrial Hygiene, after evaluating an organization's training courses, may award
    ABIH Certification Maintenance (CM) Points for industrial hygiene-related courses.  ABIH CM points are
    used by industrial hygienists to demonstrate their continuing education activities in their field.  Each course
    description lists the ABIH CM points associated with the course.                  *

                                            4 Days

This course provides participants with the fundamentals of human health and ecological risk assessment as
applied to the Superfund cleanup process. The course, as stated in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA) Superfund Risk Assessment Guidance Manual, is specifically designed for Superfund risk assessors, risk
assessment reviewers, remedial project managers, and risk managers.  The course is based on the following
EPA documents:  Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund:  Volume I - Human Health Evaluation Manual
(Parts A, B, C, andD) &nd Ecological Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund:  Process for Designing and
Conducting Ecological Risk Assessments.

The risk assessment process is presented in three stages:  baseline risk assessment, development of preliminary
remediation goals, and evaluation of cleanup alternatives.  In addition, the following topics are discussed:
applicable statutes, regulations, and guidance; data collection and evaluation; exposure assessment; toxicity
assessment; risk characterization; principles of ecological assessment; ecological risk assessment guidance for
Superfund; and ecological assessment methods.  Current technical  and information resources will also be
discussed.

Instructional methods include lectures, class  discussions, and group exercises.  In addition, a case study will
be used throughout the course to demonstrate the practical applications  of the risk assessment guidance.

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

    •     Identify the applicable statutes, regulations, and guidance pertinent to human health and ecological
          risk assessments under Superfund.

    •     Describe each of the four steps of the baseline risk assessment process.

    •     Identify and describe ecological assessment methods used to evaluate the effects of contaminants on
          the  ecosystem.

    •     Perform  a  baseline  risk  assessment and an  ecological assessment  using EPA's risk assessment
          guidance  documents.

Note:  Calculators are highly recommended.

            INTRODUCTORY  PRELIMINARY  ASSESSMENT TRAINING
                                            2 Days

This course provides  participants with an introduction to the Superfund site assessment process  and the
fundamentals of the preliminary assessment phase of this process as it applies to both non-federal and federal
facility sites. The site assessment process is used to screen hazardous waste sites for inclusion on the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency' s (EPA) National Priorities List and to prioritize sites for further investigation
and remediation.  Participants will receive the background necessary to perform preliminary assessments and
to develop preliminary site scores. The course is designed for individuals with little experience in the initial
evaluation of hazardous waste sites.

The course format is based on the EPA document entitled Guidance for Performing Preliminary Assessments
Under CERCLA, and on any other EPA documentation currently available. The focus is on implementing EPA
preliminary assessment guidance rather than on emphasizing the mechanics of scoring sites using the Hazard
Ranking  System.  The  site assessment process is currently  under  review by the U.S. EPA; therefore,
modifications to reflect these changes will be made with the concurrence of the U.S. EPA.

Topics to be discussed include  an overview of the site assessment process; the fundamentals of the Hazard
Ranking System; data collection strategies; site reconnaissance and documentation procedures; site, source, and
waste characterization techniques; groundwater, surface water, air, and soil exposure pathway analyses; and
preliminary assessment scoring  methodology, and the Federal Agency  Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket.

This course  is immediately  followed by the 2-day Introductory Site Inspection Training course. It is highly
recommended that students  request both courses when registering.  Each day, the Preliminary Assessment
course begins at approximately  8:00 a.m. and ends at 5:00 p.m.

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

    •     Describe how the outcome  of the site assessment process affects the placement of non-federal and
          federal facility hazardous waste sites on the National Priorities List (NPL).

    •     Understand the relationship of the Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket to the
          NPL.

    •     Define key  phrases related  to preliminary assessments.

    •     Conduct a preliminary assessment data search and develop a site reconnaissance plan.

    •     Perform preliminary assessment site scoring.

Note: Scientific calculators  are required.
