Introduction to CERCLA 103, EPCRA, and CAA 112(r) will focus on regulatory and legislative requirements related to emergency notification for hazardous chemical releases, community emergency planning, and chemical accident prevention. The course provides an overview in the requirements of section 103 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liabilities Act (CERCLA), the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), and section 112(r) (the EPA Risk Management Program and Clean Air Act General Duty Clause) of the Clean Air Act (CAA).By attending this Internet seminar, participants will achieve the following objectives:Learn which types of facilities are subject to CERCLA section 103, EPCRA, and CAA section 112(r) requirements. Understand chemical lists and threshold quantities triggering applicability of requirements, and common exemptions from the requirements.Learn the actions that chemical facilities must take to comply with CERCLA section 103, EPCRA, and CAA section 112(r) requirements, including providing chemical hazard information, reporting releases of hazardous substances to federal, state, and local authorities and implementing accident prevention and emergency response programs.Understand how other agencies' (for example, U.S. Department of Transportation [DOT], Occupational Safety and Health Administration [OSHA], and U.S. Department of Homeland Security [DHS]) hazardous chemical regulations may relate to or affect a facility's obligations under EPA's regulations.

In June 2009, EPA held its annual National Association of Remedial Project Managers meeting in Atlanta, GA, and for the second year in a row, one of our most attended sessions was on Green Remediation (GR). And like last year, we are offering those talks again to an online audience! EPA's definition of GR includes the practice of considering the environmental effects of a remediation strategy (i.e., the remedy selected and the implementation approach) early in the process, and incorporating options to maximize the net environmental benefit of the cleanup action. Since last year, experience has increased and policies are more developed, and this is a chance to share that with an online audience. EPA's Technical Support Project, led by the Engineering Forum, has taken this full-day session and will hold one session per month for 3 months, starting with October 8th. Each session will last no longer than 2 hours. We will start on October 8th, with the following agenda, and then the other two sessions will follow on November 12th and December 15th.Regional Roundtable (Region 2)Case Studies:Fort Devens Superfund siteOperating Industries, Inc.

Elemental Mercury Basics and Response provides information on the misunderstood properties of mercury and insight into addressing issues related to sites contaminated with mercury: regulations, response, monitoring, health concerns, toxicology, and cleanup. The seminar focuses primarily on complex residential contamination sites. Participants will be able to download a detailed guidebook and checklist that will assist them through all phases of a cleanup at a residential site contaminated with mercury, from initial notification through final restoration. The seminar will discuss the complexities of issues associated with mercury cleanups, and the difficulties responders have encountered and successes they have achieved. Participants will also be able to download guidance and examples of mercury outreach and education materials that have been prepared over the years to better educate responders, health professionals, and the public.

Performance-based environmental management (PBEM) is a strategic, goal-oriented methodology that is implemented through effective planning and decision logic to reach a desired end state of site cleanup. The goal of PBEM is to be protective of human health and the environment while efficiently implementing appropriate streamlined cleanup processes. The major components of PBEM include: systematic planning; effective communications; agreement of a land use risk strategy; current conceptual site model; decision logic analysis; remediation process optimization (RPO); ARAR analysis; exit strategy development; and performance-based contracting including environmental insurance. This ITRC training presents an overview of what PBEM is, explains how and when to implement it, and describes the issues that regulators are concerned about throughout PBEM's implementation. Case studies will be presented to illustrate successful PBEM projects. The course is valuable not only because PBEM is being proposed and implemented at many federal and private sites throughout the country, but also because PBEM provides an opportunity to enhance all site remediation. This training is geared to those in the environmental remediation field including Federal, state and local government officials; owners or operators of sites, and consultants. The course will be most beneficial if the participant has taken one of ITRC's remediation process optimization courses. Online archives are available for What is Remediation Process Optimization and How Can It Help Me Identify Opportunities for Enhanced and More Efficient Site Remediation? and for Remediation Process Optimization - Advanced Training. These courses are recommended as pre-requisites, but are not required. The training materials are based on the ITRC RPO Team's Technical Regulatory Guidance Document: Improving Environmental Site Remediation Through Performance-Based Environmental Management (RPO-7, November 2007).

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. A sound LNAPL understanding is necessary to effectively characterize and assess LNAPL conditions and potential risks, as well as to evaluate potential remedial technologies or alternatives. Unfortunately, many environmental professionals have a faulty understanding of LNAPL conditions based on outdated paradigms. The ITRC LNAPLs Team is providing Internet-based training to improve the general understanding of LNAPLs. Better understanding leads to better decision making. Additionally, this training provides a necessary technical foundation to foster effective use of the forthcoming ITRC LNAPLs Team Technical Regulatory Guidance Document: Evaluating LNAPL Remedial Technologies for Achieving Project Goals (to be published in 2009). This training course is relevant for new and veteran regulators, environmental consultants, and technically-inclined site owners and public stakeholders. The training course is divided into two parts: Part 1: An Improved Understanding of LNAPL Behavior in the Subsurface - State of Science vs. State of Practice Part 2: LNAPL Characterization and Recoverability - Improved Analysis In Part 2 of the training course, instructors address 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.
