REGION 9 NEWSLETTER
Winter 2009, Edition 46
Happy New Year! It's not only a new year, but you may heard about a new Administration too?!
That certainly is exciting news for us here at EPA. Now that science is coming out of the dark
again, I expect more tech support requests to start flooding in! If the local Superfund tech
support staff is too busy or unable to meet your needs, please don't hesitate to ask me for ORD
assistance. The Tech Support Centers have experts in many fields and are waiting to assist you.
If you are an EPA Superfund RPM or RCRA site manager, it's a valuable resource that is yours
for the asking. Don't hesitate to call me for details.
This version of the quarterly newsletter is again packed with many examples of ways to conduct
our activities more sustainably (diesel emissions reductions, green remediation, etc.) and also
some ideas that are not necessarily new, but just smart (e.g., Triad and the new ETV MMR
Center). There is also the opportunity to take advantage of some excess materials used at the
Selma groundwater treatment site in Region 9. See that news under the "Local" section.
Please take a look at the rest of the items in the newsletter and thanks for your attention!

Summary of National Forum on Vapor Intrusion
(Held January 12-13, 2009 in Philadelphia, PA)
Thanks to all who attended our successful conference earlier this month! We met our goal of
about 350 people from across the United States, including Federal agencies, state and local

governments, community activists and other impacted residents, property developers and
property reuse personnel, private consultants and vendors, and responsible parties undertaking
response. This Forum was structured on dual tracks with common sessions. We had technical
presentations on sampling, assessment, risk, and engineering. There were also case studies
illustrating a cross section of vapor intrusion issues from the perspective of community
stakeholders, Brownfields, EPA, and states. We had two breakout sessions: one on community
issues and one on government programs. The Community Stakeholder Breakout presented areas
and issues of interest for community groups, residents, developers and possibly local
government. The Government Stakeholder Breakout pertained to internal issues of program
implementation, policy and guidance. We also had close to 30 poster presentations.
Thank you to all who supported our conference, including ORD's Office of Science Policy,
OSWER's Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation, and ORD's NERL and
Land Research Program. Thanks also go out to the "champions" of the Monday evening poster
session, including HydroGeoLogic, Inc., CH2MHill, Sullivan International, and Pontarolo
Engineering.
The following website has presentation material and speaker bios, and we hope to have
Proceedings completed and posted here by early March 2009:

Update on Green Remediation
The Engineering Forum recently completed a 3-part online seminar series on green remediation
called "Green Remediation: Opening the Door to Field Use". These seminars were first offered
during the National Association of Remedial Project Managers (NARPM) meeting held in
Portland in July, 2008. The online seminars were extremely popular, with well over 100 lines
(phone and streaming audio) reserved for each of the sessions. Many lines often served multiple
people in an office, so the count is actually much higher. The Engineering Forum is planning
another full-day green remediation session at NARPM this coming June in Atlanta, so if you are
attending, be sure to look for this session! Archives for this seminar series are available at:
http://cluin.org/live/archive.cfm . The topics covered were:
Session A - Introduction and Carbon Calculus: A RCRA Case Study
Session B - Green Remediation Tools and Examples
Session C - Green Remediation Tools and Examples

Remember that many of the tools and guidance for green remediation are available here:
http://cluin.org/greenremediation/. There are a number of new tools that have recently been
posted to this page. They include the following:
- Best Management Practices Toolkit (guidance documents, etc.)
http://cluin.org/greenremediation/subtab b 1 .cfm
- Contracting and Administrative Toolkit
http://cluin.org/greenremediation/subtab b2.cfm
- Decision Support Tools (34 calculators and models)
http://cluin.org/greenremediation/subtab b3.cfm
- Partnering Tools
http://cluin.org/greenremediation/subtab b4.cfm
This CLU-IN platform serves as EPA's primary vehicle for sharing information about green
remediation (GR) and inspiring novel ways to employ GR best management practices. Since its
Earth Day 2008 introduction, GR Web has grown to accommodate the new user-friendly
"toolbox" of best practice, contracting, decision-making, and partnership tools (as described
above); 22 brief "profiles" of green remediation strategies already used at specific sites; nearly
80 key documents or related organizational links; and a mechanism for requesting GR details or
technical assistance. GR Web's technical information focuses on holistic sustainability of
existing or anticipated remedies; guidance and policy issued by government agencies; integration
of renewable energy resources; green strategies for design, construction, and operation of
remedies; and treatment system optimization resulting in green cleanups. Again, find it here:
http://clu-in.org/greenremediation/
EPA continues to work on green remediation issues, both policy and technical. There is
collaboration going on internally between programs and also with agencies outside of EPA.
Here is a list of those groups that are currently active and working to advance green remediation
best practices. It is obviously a very active field at EPA! More detail on each of the workgroups

Regulatory Insight: Europe's New Approach to Chemical
Regulation Has Broad Impact
(From National Defense Center for Energy and Environment Newsletter, Summer/Fall '08)
(Note: This is not typical material for this newsletter, but is something that is very insightful
and with a new Administration, may someday affect the EPA's regulatory outlook.)
Prior to 2006, Europe's legislative framework for chemical substances was an ineffective
patchwork of approximately 40 different directives and regulations. There were different rules
for "existing" chemicals, those on the European market before 1981, and "new" chemicals, those
introduced to the market after 1981. While new chemicals had to be tested before they were
placed on the market, there were no such provisions for the nearly 100,000 existing chemicals.
As a result, there was a significant lack of information available about the effects of the majority
of existing chemicals on human health and the environment. Furthermore, the burden of
performing risk assessments of chemicals was on governmental entities rather than the
businesses that manufactured, imported, or used the substances.
To address these shortfalls, the European Commission (EC) issued the regulation on the
Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH). Replacing
the patchwork of 40 other laws, it entered into force on June 1, 2007. The law puts the burden of
proof on the chemical producer or importer (into the EU), not on public authorities or
downstream users, to show that industrial chemicals and substances used in everyday products
are safe. http://www.ndcee.ctc.com/newsletters/NDCEE-Newsletter Summer Fall08.pdf

New Tools and Technologies
ORD Research Snapshot: Reducing Subsurface Hexavalent Chromium to
Harmless Trivalent Chromium Through Injection of Ferrous Iron
(Thanks to Kathleen Graham, Region 8 STL)
Below is a link to an ORD Research Snapshot describing a new method of reducing Cr(VI) to
harmless Cr(III) in groundwater or soil via injection of ferrous iron. It is simpler and less
expensive than installation of a permeable reactive barrier, and at the site where it was
implemented, major reductions were seen within a year. This research and pilot project were
conducted by ORD's National Risk Management Research Laboratory, and resulted in a patented
process. More information can be found at the following intranet site:

ETV Materials Management And Remediation Center Solicits Stakeholders
Materials
Management and
Remediation Center
ETV recently announced the addition of a new Materials Management and Remediation (MMR)
Center. The MMR Center, operated in cooperation with Battelle, verifies materials management
technologies, including for recycling, beneficial use of waste materials, recovery of useful
components of waste, and treatment to minimize disposal requirements (e.g., containment,
volume, cost); and technologies to remediate contaminated land and ground water, such as that
found at Superfund sites and other properties where industrial or commercial activities have
resulted in a legacy of hazardous constituents that limit future use of the property. The MMR
Center is currently soliciting stakeholders to help guide verification activities in these areas.
ETV stakeholders assist the program by helping develop protocols for verification testing,
prioritizing the types of technologies to be verified, and implementing outreach activities to the
customer groups they represent.

ETV Verifies Diesel Emission Controls
(Edited from NRMRL News of Nov 6, 2008)
Developing a new environmental technology is one thing; getting it accepted in the marketplace
is another. To help bridge this gap in 1995, the EPA created the Environmental Technology
Verification Program (ETV). Its goal is to verify the performance of commercial-ready
environmental products, thereby helping to speed their entry into the marketplace. Through six
non-profit verification centers, ETV provides uniform, controlled, and objective testing of
technologies in all media-air, water, and land-that support EPA's goal of a cleaner and healthier
environment. A notable example is the ongoing verification of 11 innovative diesel retrofit
(upgrade) technologies designed to reduce particulate matter, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and
carbon monoxide emissions from diesel engine exhaust.
Background
Diesel engine in a dynamometer test cell: Diesel engines in trucks and buses are popular because
they are durable and provide good fuel economy. But they are a serious environmental challenge
because the more than 11 million diesel-powered vehicles currently on U.S. highways emit
significant quantities of air pollutants. Diesel emissions contribute to ozone levels that prevent
many communities from meeting national minimum standards for ambient air quality, and
contribute to forestry and crop losses. Further, the particulate matter in diesel exhaust is linked to
many respiratory and cardiovascular diseases; EPA has determined that diesel exhaust including
particulate matter is a likely carcinogen.
Private-sector developers have responded with a variety of innovative retrofit technologies for
trucks, buses, and non-road equipment. To assist with its entry into the marketplace, the ETV
program, in cooperation with its Air Pollution Control Technology Center, is providing
independent, quality-assured data on the performance of some of these technologies. They
involve three basic approaches, Exhaust Treatments, Retrofit Fuels, and Crankcase Filtration
Systems.
Exhaust Treatments
Exhaust systems such as Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs), Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOCs),
and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems are devices that are installed in the exhaust
system, similar to a muffler. The DPFs trap particulate matter and burn it in the exhaust stream.
The DOCs reduce particulate matter, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide emissions by
STL Newsletter Archives:
http://www.epa.gov/osp/hstl/hstlnewsletter.htin
-------
Resion 9 STL Newsletter - Winter 2009
converting them to water vapor and carbon dioxide. The SCR systems reduce nitrogen oxide
emissions by converting them to harmless nitrogen gas.
Retrofit Fuels
Retrofit fuels include fuel reformulations and fuel additives that modify the properties of diesel
fuel, allowing it to burn more cleanly.
Crankcase Filtration Systems
Crankcase filtration systems work by capturing the "blowby" (unburned) diesel gases and
removing their particulate matter through the use of filters before routing them to the engine
intake.
The goal of the ETV diesel retrofit testing is to determine the percent of emission reduction
achieved for particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide, compared
to the percent emissions of the same engine without the retrofit technology. ETV does not verify
performance claims. Rather, it provides a credible, highly quality-assured data set on technology
performance, which is "verified" to be correct. It is then up to others to evaluate the
vendor/manufacturer's claim in light of the data. For example, a diesel retrofit vendor would
probably take its data set to the National Clean Diesel Campaign, sponsored by the EPA's Office
of Transportation and Air Quality, for review and posting to its verified technology list.
In addition to the verification reports and statements, the ETV process also includes the
development of test/quality assurance plans, and verification protocols (uniform testing for a
specific category of technologies).
Selected Outcomes
The ETV diesel retrofit program calculated some potential environmental benefits based on
adoption of the tested technologies at selected market penetration rates. Using EPA's regulatory
impact analysis data for diesel fuel sulfur control requirements*, and assuming 10 percent market
penetration of the first seven verified diesel retrofit technologies, the following outcomes can be
calculated over a seven-year period:
- 9,000 to 31,000 tons of particulate matter would be reduced.
- $4.4-$ 15.5 billion (in 1995 dollars) would be saved through the prevention of adverse health
and environmental effects.
- 680-2,400 deaths could be avoided.
- Cities and states would be assisted in meeting national air quality standards, especially in the 10
areas of the country now at risk for exceeding particulate matter standards and the 45 areas at
risk for exceeding ozone standards.
A full reporting of outcomes, actual and projected, can be found in Environmental Technology
Verification (ETV) Program Case Studies, Demonstrating Program Outcomes

Rapid Site Characterization (RSC) - Streamline Investigations, Save Money, and
Reduce Restoration Timeframes

The Air Force
or Engineering and the Environment
TechrmlQgy+ Transfer
(Note: I've included this so readers can see that Air Force and EPA both consider the Triad
approach an important component of waste site cleanups.)
Rapid Site Characterization (RSC) is an accelerated procedure for delineating contamination at a
site. Often referred to as the Triad approach or accelerated site characterization, it is part of the
Air Force's increased efforts to utilize a performance-based management (PBM) approach for
environmental restoration. RSC has gained wide acceptance by the regulated community.
Components of RSC (e.g., dynamic work strategies and field test kits) have even been included
as Best Management Practices in the US EPA's Green Remediation: Best Management Practices
for Surface Excavation and Surface Restoration. It is a results-oriented approach for delineating
contamination that incorporates systematic planning and logic to design a dynamic field strategy
for developing an accurate conceptual site model. The process effectively expedites delineation
of contamination at complex sites using systematic project planning, dynamic work strategies,
and real-time data analysis. The goal of RSC is to reduce uncertainties in site characterization
and contaminant delineation. AFCEE/TDV can assist Air Force project managers with
successful implementation of RSC/Triad by providing tools that help managers:
Identify data needs and Data Quality Objectives (DQOs) to manage uncertainties
strategies
Identify project goals, considering issues such as site reuse plan, likely remedies, and exit
gies
Identify potential data management and real-time data measurement tools

Provide management tools for tracking data, stages, costs, and activities.
RSC, if implemented properly, can streamline investigation activities, save money, and reduce

Mechanisms of zero valent iron during passive
treatment of acid rock drainage
The Superfund Basic Research Program (SBRP) is a network of university grants that are
designed to seek solutions to the complex health and environmental issues associated with the
nation's hazardous waste sites. The research conducted by the SBRP is a coordinated effort with
the Environmental Protection Agency, which is the federal entity charged with cleaning up the
worst hazardous waste sites in the country. More can be found at their website:
http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/supported/sbrp/ . Each month, they highlight some of their
research. One recent story from last month (December 2008) was from research done at the
University of Arizona on treating acid rock drainage from mines. That story follows.
Background: Abandoned mines and mine tailings from metal ore mining generate large
quantities of acidic rock drainage (ARD). ARD is formed by the accelerated weathering of
metal-sulfide-rich rocks that are exposed to oxygen by mining activities. The resulting plumes
are not only highly acidic (due to sulfuric acid formed from sulfide mineral oxidation), but also
contain high concentrations of heavy metals (e.g., Cu, Zn, Pb). ARD lowers the pH of water to
levels toxic to aquatic flora and fauna, disrupting the ecosystem at all levels.
Because ARD is typically generated at remote sites where the parties responsible for the
contamination are difficult to pinpoint, viable solutions for the treatment of ARD must be low-
cost and low-maintenance. Often, passive treatment systems such as constructed wetlands and

permeable reactive barriers (PRB) are used. Many passive treatment strategies rely on the
activity of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), which utilize sulfate as a terminal electron acceptor
in the absence of oxygen. PRBs for treatment of ARD generally use organic substrates as
electron donors.

Triad Use at Naval Base San Diego Saves an Estimated Six
Years and $3 Million for Site Investigation
(Edited from Tech News and Trends, January 2009)
The U.S. Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southwest (NAVFAC SW) used the Triad
approach to collect an integrated hydrogeologic and chemical dataset for expediting and
optimizing characterization of a volatile organic compound (VOC) plume at Naval Base San
Diego (NBSD), CA. The 295-acre "IR Site 22" was identified in 2003 when VOC concentrations
reaching 100 mg/L were reported in an upgradient well as part of a remedial investigation at
"NBSD IR Site 4." As a result, NAVFAC SW initiated investigative actions to identify potential
sources of VOC contamination in ground water, determine whether the source(s) were caused by
Navy activities, and delineate VOCs in ground water.
Triad implementation provided an expedited high-density dataset and a refined CSM in near-real
time, resulting in cost avoidance estimated at $3 million and schedule savings of approximately
six years. The Navy continues to work with regulatory stakeholders in developing a remedial
strategy for IR Site 22.

Serious Scientists Gather 'Round...
An Ode to Science at EPA
By Mike Gill (sorry, I couldn't help myself...)
"We will restore science to its rightful place " - President Barack Obama, January 20, 2009
Now that Barack is on our side
Let's rethink those apps for pesticides
Again, it's all about compliance
Enforcement, clean air, and yes, it's SCIENCE!
This President, he makes no bones
About our health, clean water, and homes
He knows that citizens are his clients
Not industry, no! It's about the SCIENCE!
That's right, Obama knows the score
About kids and bugs and bunnies, for sure
No longer do we have to act in defiance
When we make our decisions based on SCIENCE!
More reasons to ride your bike!
