^tDsrx I A \Obtaining Technical Support for Superfund, vasy RCRA, and Brownfields Site Issues 2' % ^ EPA's Technical Support Centers (TSCs) and other technical support services are available to Regional Remedial Project Managers, Corrective Action Staff, and On-Scene Coordinators needing specialized technical expertise for specific tasks or projects. Each year, the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) and the Office of Research and Development (ORD) jointly fund the various centers that provide most of this expertise. You can access the support in a number of ways, including calling the TSCs directly, contacting your Region's Superfund and Technology Liaison (STL), or by contacting members of the three Technical Support Project forums. The STLs are ORD employees, who reside in each regional office. (See list on side 2.) The STLs can give technical assistance and describe the types of expertise available at each TSC. Members of the three forums (Engineering, Ground Water and Federal Facilities) are regional employees who can also provide technical advice or help you access technical support. More on the forums can be found at http://www.epa.aov/superfund/ remedvtech/tsp/. There is a range of expertise available at the three jointly supported TSCs: Engineering TSC - Assists customers with field evaluation and demonstration of innovative technologies, verification of externally acquired data, development and testing of management techniques and disposal practices, and a strong technical assistance capability for both Superfund and non-Superfund contamination. Ground Water TSC - Provides support on issues regarding subsurface contamination, contaminant flux to other media (e.g., surface water or air), and ecosystem restoration. This support includes technical guidance in site characterization and the selection of remedial or management alternatives. The Ground WaterTSC also reviews and interprets site-specific applications of models and assists in the review of design, construction, implementation, and evaluation of remedial systems. Site Characterization and Monitoring TSC - Assists customers throughout a site characterization event, i.e., from planning and design to analysis and data interpretation. Other resources are available to assist customers with more specific issues, such as aerial photography, sediments,risk assessment radiation, greener cleanups, and environmental footprint evaluation. (See table on side 2.) The three jointly supported TSCs are part of ORD and respond to 400-500 requests for technical assistance each year. side 2 -~ ------- Typical requests of the TSCs include: • Reviewing contractor workplans and reports such as remedial investigations, feasibility studies, and remedial designs • Assisting with treatability studies (e.g., bioremediation, stabilization/solidification) • Evaluating remedial technologies • Developing and reviewing sampling plans, models, interpret data • Assisting with testing innovative technologies • Developing technical transfer papers • Assisting with greener cleanup implementation issues CONTACT YOUR STL ORD Superfund and Technology Liaisons EPA Region Phone Jan Szaro 1 617-918-1316 Diana Cutt 2 212-637-4311 Bill Hagel 3 215-814-3053 Felicia Barnett 4 404-562-8659 Charles Maurice 5 312-886-6635 Terry Burton 6 214-665-7139 Robert Weber 7 913-551-7918 Position Vacant 8 202-564-5264 Michael Gill 9 415-972-3054 Kira Lynch 10 206-553-2144 For more information on the STL program, visit http://www.epa.gov/osp/hstl.htm.
