Additional Resources

Engineering Technical Support Center (TSC) - NRMRL
Contact: Dave Reisman, 513-569-7588
The Engineering Technical Support Center (TSC) provides site-specific assistance on engineering and treatment issues during any phase of a site cleanup. Focus areas include containment, thermal treatments, soil vapor extraction, bioremediation, and solidification/stabilization. Support is provided for incorporating technology-based data needs in the RI/FS phase and conducting/evaluating site-specific remedy options in the RD/RA and post-construction phases. The center publishes Engineering Bulletins on technologies and site types. The center supports Superfund, Brownfields, and RCRA Corrective Action sites.

Superfund Health Risk TSC - NCEA
Contact: Harlal Choudhury, 513-569-7536
The Superfund Health Risk Technical Support Center (STSC) supports regional and headquarters Superfund risk assessors by reviewing and developing exposure and toxicity factors that allow more accurate quantitative estimates of risk to be developed. Much of the activity is focused on developing new and updated peer reviewed provisional toxicity values that describe dose-response toxicological relationships. External peer review of the provisional toxicity values was initiated in FY1999. The Center also provides user support through the STSC Hotline, as well as onsite expertise reviews. All assistance is provided on a rapid turn-around basis.
