ITRC Decision Framework for Applying Monitored Natural Attenuation Processes
to Metals and Radionuclides in Groundwater - March 10, 2011,11:00AM-1:15PM
EST (16:00-18:15 GMT). Sites contaminated with metals and radionuclides present
unique challenges to the development of effective remedial alternatives that also
provide long-term protection to human health and the environment. The high costs of
ongoing conventional treatment, total removal, and/or management combined with the
scale of potential health and environmental risks make it important to evaluate
attenuation-based remedial alternatives. This training and the associated ITRC
Technical and Regulatory Guidance document, A Decision Framework for Applying
Monitored Natural Attenuation Processes to Metals and Radionuclides in Groundwater
(APMR-1, 2010), is intended for anyone involved with evaluating, investigating,
remediating or managing a site that involves metal and radionuclide contaminants in
groundwater. This training and document provides: introduction to key attenuation
processes for metals and radionuclides; information on incorporating MNA into remedial
alternatives for metals/rads; and an overview of the decision framework on MNA for
metals and radionuclides in groundwater within the larger evaluation framework of a
contaminated site. For more information and to register, see http://www.itrcweb.ora or

ITRC LNAPL Training Parts 1, 2, and 3 - March 22, 23, and 24, 2011. Light
non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs) are organic liquids such as gasoline, diesel, and
other petroleum hydrocarbon products that are immiscible with water and less dense
than water. LNAPLs are important because they are present in the subsurface at
thousands of remediation sites across the country, and are frequently the focus of
assessment and remediation efforts. Part 1 of this training course explains how LNAPLs
behave in the subsurface and examines what controls their behavior. Part 1 also
explains what LNAPL data can tell you about the LNAPL and site conditions. Relevant
and practical examples are used to illustrate key concepts. Part 2 addresses LNAPL
characterization and site conceptual model development as well as LNAPL recovery
evaluation and remedial considerations. Specifically, Part 2 discusses key LNAPL and
site data, when and why those data may be important, and how to get those data. Part
2 also discusses how to evaluate LNAPL recoverability. Part 3 uses the LNAPL
conceptual site model (LCSM) approach to identify the LNAPL concerns or risks and set
proper LNAPL remedial objectives and technology-specific remediation goals and
performance metrics. Part 3 also provides an overview of the LNAPL remedial
technology selection framework. For more information and to register, see

Final Report: Independent Design Review, Celanese Fiber Operations Superfund
Site, Shelby, North Carolina, EPA Region 4 (EPA 542-R-11-001). The Celanese site
is located in Shelby, North Carolina. Operation of the P&T system was discontinued on
a trial basis for two years to evaluate monitored natural attenuation as a potential
ground water remedy. The system has not been restarted. EPA Region 4 is requesting
a third-party review to help determine if the system should be restarted, if a modified
system should be restarted, or if another type of ground water remedial approach is
warranted. This report provides a brief background on the site, a summary of
observations made from the document review, and recommendations regarding future
modifications to the existing remediation system (including associated investigation
activities). The cost impacts of the recommendations are also discussed (February
2011, 38 pages). View or download at http://ciu-in.ora/techpubs.htm .

Final Report: Technical Assistance for the Somersworth Sanitary Landfill
Superfund Site, Somersworth, New Hampshire, EPA Region 1 (EPA
542-R-09-010). The Somersworth Sanitary Landfill Site (Somersworth site) is a former
landfill in southern New Hampshire that is on the National Priorities List (NPL). The
landfill was closed in 1981 and has had a groundwater monitoring network since the
1980s. Groundwater remedies were installed by 2001, and the site is currently in the
long-term monitoring phase of operation and maintenance (O&M). U.S. EPA Region 1
requested a review of the Somersworth site groundwater monitoring plan. Site
monitoring data was reviewed and statistical and heuristic evaluations were performed
using the Monitoring and Remediation Optimization System software (MAROS) in
2007. Inputs, results and recommendations for the groundwater monitoring network,
including the results based on the MAROS analysis, were reviewed (July 2009, 55
pages). View or download at http://clu-in.ora/techpubs.htm .

Terrestrial Carbon Sequestration: Analysis of Terrestrial Carbon Sequestration at
Three Contaminated Sites Remediated and Revitalized with Soil Amendments
(EPA 542-R-10-003). This paper presents the results of a study conducted by U.S.
EPA's Technology Innovation and Field Services Division (TIFSD) on the terrestrial
carbon sequestration co-benefit of using soil amendments for remediation and
ecological revitalization at three sites. Prior to this study, little research has been
published evaluating and quantifying terrestrial carbon sequestration benefits
associated with land remediated with soil amendments. TIFSD conducted this study to
increase this knowledge base. We quantified soil carbon sequestration rates at three
sites: Leadville, CO, Stafford, VA, and Sharon Steel, PA. This study was part of our
methodology development for sampling and analysis of carbon in soils at amended
sites (methodology finalized June 2010). The results of this study indicate that carbon is
being sequestered at all three sites we studied (February 2011, 56 pages). View or

Volume 3: Assessment for Radionuclides Including Tritium, Radon, Strontium,
Technetium, Uranium, Iodine, Radium, Thorium, Cesium, and
Plutonium-Americium (EPA 600-R-10-093). The U.S. EPA Office of Research and
Development, in cooperation with the Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology
Innovation and Office of Radiation and Indoor Air, recently published the last of a
three-volume technical resource for selection of MNA as a site-specific remedy
component for inorganic contaminants in ground water. Volume 3, Assessment for
Radionuclides, addresses technical aspects of attenuation mechanisms and data
collection for tritium, radon, strontium, technetium, uranium, iodine, radium, thorium,
cesium, and plutonium-americium. The document emphasizes characterization of
immobilization and/or radioactive decay processes that may control contaminant
attenuation or flux reduction, as well as technical approaches to assess performance
characteristics of the MNA remedy. A tiered analysis approach is presented to assist in
organizing site characterization tasks (September 2010, 147 pages). View or download

Bioavailability of Dioxins and Dioxin-Like Compounds in Soil. The Risk
Assessment Guidance for Superfund (RAGS) Part A discusses making adjustments to
Superfund site-specific risk assessments when the medium of exposure in an exposure
assessment differs from the medium of exposure assumed by the toxicity value (cancer
slope factor, reference dose value, etc.) based upon site-specific bioavailability data.
An important consideration in assessing risks from exposures to dioxin in soil is
whether an adjustment is needed in the application of the oral cancer slope factor
(CSF) and/or oral chronic reference dose (RfD) for 2,3,7,8-tetrachloro-dibenzo-p-dioxin
(TCDD). This adjustment would account for differences in the bioavailability of TCDD
(and toxicologically related polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins [PCDD] and
polychlorinated dibenzofuran congeners [PCDF]) in soil and in the test medium used in
the critical study(s) on which the CSF and/or RfD were based (e.g., dietary exposure
vs. exposure to soil). An adjustment would be considered appropriate if evidence were
sufficient to indicate that the relative bioavailability (RBA) of the PCDD/F mixture in soil
was less than 100%. This report presents a summary of the published literature and
analysis of the available data regarding RBA of PCDD/F in soil (December 2010, 83
pages). View or download at

Contaminated Land Remediation Report. This report was compiled and authored by
Contaminated Land: Applications in Real Environments (CLAIRE). The aims of this
research were to summarize the current understanding and utilization of different
contaminated land remediation techniques, to identify current and likely future factors
influencing their selection and to set out the relative economic, environmental and
social costs and benefits (i.e., the sustainability) of each technique. The sustainability
impact assessment section of the report develops further the principles of the
Sustainable Remediation Forum (SuRF-UK), demonstrating how thorough qualitative
sustainability assessments for remediation technology selection can be undertaken and
developed. Remediation techniques have evolved significantly over recent years, and
the aim is to help industry to identify all the available options and to avoid resorting to a
default remediation solution which may have less well determined economic,
environmental or social impacts (February 2011, 120 pages). View or download at
