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.

Green Remediation Best Management Practices Fact Sheets
As was mentioned at NARPM (see below), green
remediation (or greener cleanups) remains a priority
for the program. 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.

EPA Superfund staff and managers, including the Tech Support Project meeting (where all 3
Forums convene) and the Branch Chiefs meeting. 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.

the United States oversees a cluster of states. 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.

EPA Decision To Develop Drinking Water Regulation for Perchlorate Could
Create Liability for DoD
(From NDCEE Newsletter, Summer / Fall 2011)
On February 2, 2011, the EPA announced its
decision to move forward with the development of
a regulation for perchlorate under the Safe
Drinking Water Act (SOWA). 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.

(From NDCEE Newsletter, Spring / Summer 2011)
The NDCEE will be demonstrating a pilot-scale fuel reclamation system at the Manchester Fuel
Depot (MFD), WA to reclaim residual fuel from Navy vessels being prepared for overhaul
or decommissioning. Because this fuel is contaminated with sediment, water, and/or lower grade
petroleum constituents like lubricating oils, marine gas oil, or lower grade diesel fuels, it cannot
immediately be placed back into defense fuel stocks.

Gardenroots: A Citizen Science Program to Empower Communities Neighboring
Contamination
(By Monica Ramirez-Andreotta, University or Arizona)
aaraenroorA
The Dewey-Humboldt, Arizona Garden Project
(Editor's Note: Region 9 and the STLs have had a long and positive relationship with the
Superfund Research Program, including folks at the University of Arizona. 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

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.

Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) Blog
(Posted on June 15, 2011 in ORD's "Science Wednesday" Blog)
A couple of months ago, I was asked to be a judge at the Intel International Science and
Engineering Fair (ISEF) in Los Angeles. 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

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. Fire-
breathing robots didn't make the cut, but a device built using a discarded laundry basket and duct
tape to harness wind power via the Bernoulli Effect for use in a third world country did.

It was certainly tough knowing
that out of this group of brilliant
kids, only one of them would be
awarded the prize. 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). Among this crowd, I felt humbled.

This 2011 Intel ISEF was a great experience and certainly restored any faith I had lost on today's
kids and their ability to excel at science, technology, engineering and math. And I'm proud that
EPA is playing a part in recognizing them!

New CLU-IN Contaminant Focus Area on Characterization and Remediation of
Contaminated Fractured Rock Media
This new area features a discussion of fractured rock characteristics and available tools to aid in
the delineation of contaminants found in fractured rock. The remediation section is broken into
various technologies with references on how they are used in fractured rock situations and
provides example sites where the technology has been applied. View and use at http://www.clu-
in.org/firacrock . Also, the fractured bedrock project profile database has been updated and now
includes about 238 site profiles.

New Triad Profiles available on the Triad Resource Center Website
New Triad profiles have recently been added to the User Experiences section of the website.
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.

In Small Doses: Arsenic
Researchers from the Dartmouth Toxic Metals Research Program have created a 10-minute
video for the general public on the subject of arsenic. 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.

New CLU-IN Characterization and Monitoring Focus Area on Passive (no purge)
Samplers
Passive sampling can be defined in the broadest sense as any method based on the free flow of
contaminant molecules from the sampled media to a receiving phase in a sampling device.
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.

New Resources posted to the SURF USA Website
The Sustainable Remediation Forum (SURF) was initiated in late 2006 to promote the use of
sustainable practices during remedial action activities with the objective of balancing economic
viability, conservation of natural resources and biodiversity, and the enhancement of the quality
of life in surrounding communities. Several new documents were posted to the SURF website.

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. ,
