Releases can result from accidents and discharges at facilities where chemicals are hariUed 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, die 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. Tbt 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 stud.es demonstrate; and exercises using field instruments. Participants are provided with fundamental mformanon about die subject of the course. Complemented by work experience and individual effort U* courses prov.de a foundat.cn upon which individuals can further refine and develop their own knowledge and skills m a variety of response activities.

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 notifytfle registrar prior to the starting date of the course will jeopardize an applicant's chances to attend future courses. 1 ------- Applicants who are External Providers, Superfiind 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 Environmental Response Training Centers 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 Contacts. These locations are generally not arranged before die Schedule of Courses is printed, and courses are rarely held at the Regional Training Contact's office. Contact the Training Registrar's office for course locations (for courses in Regions 1 and 6, contact the Regional Training Contact 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. Personnel from EPA, other federal agencies, and state and local government do not pay tuition for ERTP courses. Tuition for university staff, community HAZMAT teams, and students is also waived. Personnel not directly employed by a government agency (e.g., private industry, contractor, or unemployed) pay tuition according to the fee schedule listed below. Checks should be made payable to die U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and must be received at least 2 weeks prior to the course. Do not send checks with applications: wait until receiving an acceptance letter from die Training Registrar before making payment.
