Triad Month Series: August 4, 6, 11, 13, 18, 20, 25
Posted: July 1, 2009
A little over a year ago, over 260 individuals gathered from the U.S. and abroad at UMass-Amherst in Massachusetts to discuss the use of the Triad Approach to conduct investigations and remedial actions faster, better, and at a reduced cost. The Triad Community of Practice (CoP) will redeliver updates of several of the same sessions to benefit the greater CLU-IN audience that either may not have been able to attend the conference, or were not able to attend a specific presentation while at the conference. By doing this, the Triad CoP hopes participants can learn more about some of the Triad tools and how they have been applied by the environmental industry.		More Information & Registration

Gordon Research Conference ? Catchment Science: Interactions Of Hydrology, Biology & Geochemistry - Thresholds, Tipping Points, And Non-Linearity: Integrated Catchment Science For The 21st Century
07/12/2009 - 07/17/2009
Andover, NH
Catchments are fundamental landscape units for understanding water quality and managing water resources. Contemporary environmental problems are being approached more than ever by stakeholders on the geographic basis of catchments, where the underlying physical, biological, and chemical science is complex. This Gordon Research Conference focuses on catchment science, exploring the interactions among hydrological, biological and geochemical processes that shape terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. An understanding of these processes is required in order to consider responses of catchments and ecosystems to climate warming, atmospheric deposition, land use shifts, catastrophic events, and other drivers of environmental change. Participants in this conference are typically scientists (e.g., hydrologists, ecologists, biogeochemists) from colleges, universities, and government agencies around the world.

Perchlorate Remediation Technologies
07/23/2009 - 07/23/2009
INTERNET
Perchlorate contamination exists in water and soil, and occurs widely throughout the United States. Public awareness and concern regarding perchlorate has increased in recent years. Perchlorate occurrence in drinking water and food supplies is a human health concern because it can interfere with iodide uptake by the thyroid gland and result in decreased thyroid hormone production. The ITRC Perchlorate Team was formed in 2004 to address technical issues associated with perchlorate. Many technologies are available to remediate perchlorate contamination, but only a few are commonly used. This training introduces state regulators, environmental consultants, site owners, and community stakeholders to Remediation Technologies for Perchlorate Contamination in Water and Soil (PERC-2, 2008), created by ITRC's Perchlorate Team to assist reviewers in assessing the adequacy of perchlorate remediation projects. This course gives the student a background in the available remediation technologies to treat perchlorate contamination, discusses emerging technologies, and presents case studies of applications.

Enhanced Attenuation of Chlorinated Organics: A Site Management Tool
08/13/2009 - 08/13/2009
INTERNET
This training on the ITRC Technical and Regulatory Guidance for Enhanced Attenuation: Chlorinated Organics (EACO-1, 2008) describes the transition (the bridge) between aggressive remedial actions and MNA and vise versa. Enhanced attenuation (EA) is the application of technologies that minimize energy input and are sustainable in order to reduce contaminant loading and/or increase the attenuation capacity of a contaminated plume to progress sites towards established remedial objectives. Contaminant loading and attenuation capacity are fundamental to sound decisions for remediation of groundwater contamination. This training explains how a decision framework which, when followed, allows for a smooth transition between more aggressive remedial technologies to sustainable remedial alternatives and eventually to Monitored Natural Attenuation. This training will demonstrate how this decision framework allows regulators and practitioners to integrate Enhanced Attenuation into the remedial decision process.

TechDirect, hosted by the U.S. EPA's Technology Innovation Program, is an information service that highlights new publications and events of interest to site remediation and site assessment professionals. At the beginning of every month, the service, via e-mail, will distribute a message describing the availability of publications and events. For publications, the message will explain how to obtain a hard copy or how to download an electronic version.

The next message will be sent on or about August 1, 2009.
