Region 9 STL Newsletter - Spring 2011 5-EPA United State? Environmental Protection Agency OFFICE OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SUPERFUND AND TECHNOLOGY LIAISON (STL) REGION 9 NEWSLETTER Summer 2011, Edition 56 Welcome to this quarter's STL Newsletter! On national topics, you can read about some important conferences (NARPM and the Sustainable Remediation conference at UMass) and locally (within Region 9), I've included a summary of some work being done by the University of Arizona on a metals uptake study ("Gardenroots") and the Intel Science and Engineering Fair in LA, where ORD provided recognition to some emerging scientists. It's not your standard tech support or haz waste cleanup, but interesting issues just the same! Also in this issue are pieces on other recent workshops, green remediation fact sheets, and links to plenty of new documents and upcoming events. All of these ORD related issues are important, but to me, the tech support available to EPA staff through ORD is still the most important connection between ORD and the regional offices. As I mentioned last month, you can read about that here: (http://www.epa.gov/tio/tsp/download/tech support center assistpdf) or call me. Just to let you know, we are working on an "Expertise Directory" that will includes contacts from the three Forums for many of the technical issues that RPMs and others deal with on a daily basis. We hope to get that posted by next issue. Who knows - a national expert on radioactive soil cleanups might be sitting right next to you! Enjoy the rest of the summer.

One of the easiest and most sensible ways to make your remedy "greener" is to use best management practices to reduce resource use and cost. A number of BMP guidance fact sheets have been written recently, with more being release. Here is a screenshot of what is out there now and available from the clu-in website found at: http://cluin.org/greenremediation/ . As you can see, they cover standard remediation issues, such as pump and treat, SVE and excavation. New fact sheets include one on USTs as well as renewable energy.

Just trying to keep up with the offerings of NARPM itself can be a challenge with its multi-track agenda! But it is a very valuable meeting for RPMs and others working in the Superfund program. A number of excellent plenary speakers kicked off each day, including Jim Woolford, Reggie Cheatham (FFRO), Bill Rice (the Region 7 Deputy Regional Administrator, Ellen Manges (Community Engagement Initiative), and OSWER AA Mathy Stanislaus. Each offered up their thoughts on the state of the Superfund program. But I think the speaker that had the attention of more people than most was Yolanda Sanchez, with her fast paced talk about how RPMs need to make the proper connection between tech training and learning how to work with people (including those we serve). The talk surely captured my attention and was very thoughtful! Some of the other plenary highlights included: - Budget cuts are coming, but the Program Office wants to protect the pipeline budget, which is used for cleanups. - NARPM may change from an annual meeting to a less frequent schedule due to budget issues. - EPA appreciates present State assistance on cleanups, but management see problems down the road for future obligations, as they have budget problems too. - Green Remediation is still a goal, but we are not quite there yet. There will be new guidance this year on footprint methodologies, best management practices, and issues related to GR and remedy selection. - Important guidance development on the horizon includes revising the Hazard Ranking System to include vapor intrusion and updates on Institutional Controls. - Community Engagement is still a priority for the program, including transparency. But remember that this is about listening, and not necessarily consensus. - Federal Facilities challenges include budget cuts, transparency and maintaining stewardship. RPMs and other attendees were there to get a mix of many types of training, and once again, many members of the 3 Forums (Ground Water, Federal Facilities and Engineering) pitched in to provide many training options. To even try to summarize the agenda for NAPRM would be too much for this newsletter! But here are two important links to information about the conference.

AMHERST GREEN CHEMISTRY HUMAN HEALTH ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE This conference was the final in a series of 4 annual conferences co-sponsored by EPA's OSRTI. Speakers, exhibitors and participants represented 32 states and 9 countries. Keynote speakers included the EPA Region 1 Regional Administrator Curt Spalding, John Warner, the Director of the Warner Babcock Green Chemistry Institute and Chris Portier, Director of NCEH and ATSDR. Dr. Warner's thought provoking talk discussed the need to change the university paradigm of training chemists in a vacuum. Chemists learn how to create useful chemicals to benefit society, but typically are never trained on the health effects of their products. It's an obvious gap that needs to be filled if we want to eventually have a clean(er) environment. The other main message of the conference was that if we want to be truly sustainable, life cycle considerations need to be taken into account for all processes. The sessions covered many issues, including: Policy and Guidance Green Chemistry Application Integration of Sustainable Principles Brownfields (Redevelopment and Ecological Reuse) Sustainable & Innovative Technologies Case Studies / Lessons Learned Children's Health Impacts Emergency Response Community Impacts and Funding Sources and Allocations.

Risk Management Researchers Support State Cleanup Projects (From NRMRL Monthly, dated May 3, 2011) Hydraulic dredging of the Ottawa River is under way in Toledo, Ohio. The barge shown here holds the booster pumps to help move the sediment to the Hoffman Road Landfill. EPA regional and state offices often call upon laboratory-based researchers whenever scientific or engineering assistance is needed for state remediation projects. Whether these involve hot-spot landfills, contaminated ground waters, polluted lakes, or Superfund sites, EPA risk management researchers bring their expertise to bear on local cleanup and restoration projects. Background EPA regional and state officials are the front-line troops of the U.S. EPA regulatory mission.

For example: Region 5, the Great Lakes Region based in Chicago, administers federal environmental regulations in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ohio. Since all pollution is local, regional regulators work cooperatively with state and local project managers on remediation projects. They, in turn, frequently rely upon scientists in EPA's National Risk Management Research Laboratory and with specialists in the laboratory's Engineering Technical Support Center who often act as a link between researchers and site managers.

The decision to undertake a national standard for perchlorate reverses an earlier decision and comes after a review by EPA and independent scientists of the most recent science on perchlorate. And because public water systems likely will be required to clean up the contamination once a NPDWR is finalized, DoD may face liability challenges.

Over the years, we've arranged a number ofwebinars and seminars together and also have collaborated on research planning activities. Another collaborative effort is called "Gardenroots" and involves a metals uptake study in neighborhoods near some mines in Arizona, whose cleanups are being managed by Region 9 staff. This project is not only assisting with the cleanup, but doing so directly with the community, one ofSuperfund's goals. Thanks for Monica Ramirez- Andreotta's work, as well as EPA RPMs Leah Butler (former) and Monica O'Sullivan (present). In addition, ORD's Office of Science Policy contributed financially to this study. This next entry describes the progress at the site and was shared by Monica.) In partnership with the Town of Dewey-Humboldt, Arizona, Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the University of Arizona's (UA) Yavapai Cooperative Extension Office, Gardenroots has accomplished the following objectives: Objective 1: Determine the uptake of arsenic and lead in popularly grown vegetables in Arizona in a greenhouse with soil mixtures that have varying arsenic and lead concentrations. Soils collected from a residential area neighboring the Iron King Mine and Humboldt Smelter Superfund Site in Dewey, Humboldt, Arizona were used in a greenhouse study to determine uptake of arsenic and lead in popularly grown vegetables, and to evaluate the possible health risks to the local population. In this controlled environment, bush bean, lettuce, radish and onion were grown in three different soil treatments, and harvested to evaluate the accumulation of metals in the edible tissues of these vegetables. The three soil treatments were: 1) Dewey- ^ Humboldt, AZ residential soil with background levels of arsenic and lead, mixed with 25% o^ garden soil (control treatment); 2) Dewey-Humboldt, AZ residential soil with elevated arsenic ฃ STL Newsletter Archives: http ://www. epa. gov/osp/hstl/hstlne wsletter. html ------- Region 9 STL Newsletter - Spring 2011 and lead levels, mixed with 25% garden soil; and 3) Dewey-Humboldt, AZ residential soil with elevated arsenic and lead levels, mixed with 25% garden soil and 10% mine tailing waste from the Iron King Mine. Objective 2: Build a Citizen Science (CS) program that will successfully incorporate and empower a cadre of community gardeners in the scientific process to determine the levels of metals in the vegetables grown in Dewey-Humboldt, Arizona home gardens. Gardenroots has built a CS program that has successfully incorporated 40 community members. In March 2011, Gardenroots hosted three training sessions in Dewey-Humboldt, Arizona, and trained 40 citizen scientists in how to properly collect their water, soil and vegetable samples. At these 2-hour trainings, gardeners were given a "Gardenroots Instructional Manual", which included guidelines and a short primer on properties of soil, water and vegetable samples, and care to be taken to minimize contamination. Then step-by-step details were provided describing sampling locations, number of samples, depth of sampling, amount of sample, storage, preservation etc. In addition to the manual, each participate received a kit with all the necessary tools and sampling supplies to properly collect, and store samples. The following community engagement and outreach opportunities have been offered so far to Gardenroots participants: "Gardening Seminar for Beginning Vegetable Gardeners" that explained soil amendment and preparation, fencing, irrigation, and pest management/crop protection, and more (May 2011). "A Community Health Talk" regarding the contaminants of concern found at the Iron King Mine and Humboldt Smelter Superfund Site (June 2011). This project was made possible by USEPA's Office of Research and Development, UA Superfund Research Program, UA/NASA Space Grant Graduate Fellowship, and the UA Water Sustainability Program.

We all have busy schedules and I almost said no, but what a mistake that would have been! This week (May 10-11) I did attend and what an experience it was to be there. The students in attendance had so much talent that I'm glad I chose to attend! I'm Mike Gill and work in the EPA Region 9 office in San Francisco as a liaison between the Superfund staff working on Superfund hazardous waste cleanups and the researchers in our EPA labs nationwide. I was there in LA with two colleagues, Ned Black from the San Francisco office and Melissa Anley-Mills from ORE) in Washington, DC. Our goal was to find one project that best promoted environmental restoration, preservation and sustainability. The winner was to receive the EPA Patrick J. Kurd Sustainability gnljf 4ne' Award. We all had the opportunity to review many worthy projects and hopefully encourage the kids to continue to pursue a lifetime of scientific curiosity and even study in the field of environmental science and engineering. And what talent they have! The memorable impressions from attending ISEF were many, including both extravagant and simple posters, binders filled with journal articles and hand-written lab notes. The sheer number of renewable energy projects was impressive. In his 2011 State of the Union speech, President Obama articulated our national renewable energy goals. They are that 80% of our energy should come from renewable sources by 2035. These kids definitely got the message and are ready to contribute their talent towards meeting that goal. Two things that met the goal of sustainability for us were projects constructed using "re- purposed" materials (leftovers) and when it was clear that the students considered the complete STL Newsletter Archives: http ://www. epa. gov/osp/hstl/hstlne wsletter. html QJ M nj DH ------- Region 9 STL Newsletter - Spring 2011 life cycle of their project. It was important that projects try to avoid any unintended consequences. In addition, the simpler a project was, the more elegant it tended to be.

There were about 1500 projects presented, but only 299 abstracts fell under our categories of interest, which included environmental management and environmental sciences. From these, we narrowed it down to 59 posters to review on Day 1 (sans kids) and then 10 "semi-finalists", who we interviewed on Day 2. I was thrilled to be in the company of all of these brilliant students, but also humbled to be among the cadre of judges. Some represented military services (e.g., Office of Naval Research) and other government agencies like NOAA and EPA. But many were from professional societies, such as the Society of Experimental Test Pilots, the Coalition for Plasma Science and CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research).

These profiles are concise summaries of successful Triad projects and are backed by a database that can be searched using various criteria such as contaminant, remedial phase, and technology category. Triad is an innovative approach to data collection and decision-making for hazardous waste site characterization and remediation, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Triad Resource Center Website (http://www.triadcentral.org/) is a central location for information about the Triad Approach. The website also offers a wide range of information about the use of the Triad including access to the Triad Community of Practice (CoP), Triad technical resources and guidance, and user experiences on the use of Triad at federal and private sites. For additional information or to add a Triad profile, contact Cheryl Johnson at Johnson. Cheryl@epa. gov.

Funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Superfund Research Program, the film brings home findings of research on arsenic in well water by identifying high-concentration areas in New England and offering pointers for residents relying on wells for their drinking water. To educate residents about health problems associated with arsenic and what they can do to protect themselves, Dartmouth provides links to additional information from EPA and the U.S. Geological Survey, as well as to state agencies that offer well-water testing for as little as $10.

Depending upon the sampler, the receiving phase can be a solvent (e.g., water), chemical reagent, or porous adsorbent (e.g., activated carbon). While there are many different designs for passive samplers most have a barrier between the sampled medium and the receiving phase. The barrier determines the sampling rate that contaminants are collected at a given concentration and can be used to selectively permit or restrict various classes of chemicals from entering the receiving phase. There are three generic forms of passive (no purge) samplers: thief (grab) samplers, diffusion (equilibrium) samplers, and integrating (kinetic) samplers. All are deployed down a well to the desired depth within the screened interval or open borehole to obtain a discrete sample without using pumping or a purging technique.

Several new documents were posted to the SURF website. View or download at: http://www.sustainableremediation.org/library/guidance-tools-and-other-resources/ SURF Canada Formed The mission of SuRF Canada is to establish a Canadian network group to promote 'sustainable remediation' that aims to give systematic consideration to the three dimensions of sustainability (social, economic and environmental), in decision-making about rehabilitation of and management of contaminated sites. The network will bring together public and private organizations and launch an information and awareness initiative in Canada. , CN View or download more information at http ://www. surfcanada. org/ g, STL Newsletter Archives: http ://www. epa. gov/osp/hstl/hstlne wsletter. html ------- Region 9 STL Newsletter - Spring 2011 RECENT DOCUMENTS, DATABASES, ETC.
