Purpose
Hotel Information
                                    Trainers
Permeable reactive barriers are one of the most exciting
new developments in treating contaminated ground-
water. Their rapid deployment has created a demand for
more information on their effectiveness and cost as well
as remaining implementation issues. EPA's National
Risk Management Research Laboratory, Subsurface
Protection and Remediation Division, and the
Technology Innovation Office, in cooperation with the
Remediation Technologies Development Forum and the
Interstate Technology Regulatory Cooperation Work
Group, have developed a 1 1/2-day training course on
the use of permeable reactive barriers for remediating
and managing contaminated groundwater. Training ses-
sions will be held in ten EPA regional cities throughout
the country between June 1999 and September 2000.

Audience	
The training course is designed to assist professionals in
the regulatory community in overseeing the design,
implementation, and monitoring of groundwater reme-
dies that involve the deployment of  permeable reactive
barriers. Industry professionals and consultants will ben-
efit from the updated technical information presented as
well as the interaction with regulators and  other profes-
sional colleagues.
