ITRC Internet Training Opportunity:

NATURAL ATTENUATION OF CHLORINATED SOLVENTS IN GROUND WATER: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES and HISTORICAL CASE ANALYSIS OF CHLORINATED VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUND PLUMES

The ITRC (Interstate Technology and Regulatory Cooperation) in partnership
with the EPA Technology Innovation Office is offering a 4-hour live training
event via the internet on Wednesday, Dec. 13, 2000. The training will be
offered from 11:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. - Eastern Time (includes a 30 minute
break between topics).

REGISTRATION and details for this no-cost internet training is available at:
http://www.itrcweb.org (click on "internet training") and includes both
two-hour seminars.

The training event will focus on two topics:

(1) Natural Attenuation of Chlorinated Solvents in Ground Water: Principles
and Practices (11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. - Eastern Time). This training is
designed to introduce state regulators, environmental consultants, site
owners and community stakeholders to the document created by the ITRC's In Situ Bioremediation Technical Team and the Remediation Technologies
Development Forum (RTDF) Bioremediation Consortium titled, "Natural
Attenuation of Chlorinated Solvents in Ground Water: Principles and
Practices". The training focuses on the basic information one needs to
determine and document the conditions necessary for natural processes to be an effective part of remediating chlorinated solvents in ground water. It
provides a framework, that is, how to think about natural attenuation based
on science. The information contained in this manual and presentation is
based on research activities of the RTDF and from experience and knowledge of the participating members.

(2) Historical Case Analysis of Chlorinated Volatile Organic Compound Plumes (1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. - Eastern Time) This course describes the findings and conclusions from a study of nationwide chlorinated volatile organic compound (CVOC) plumes. It uses a statistical approach and data from multiple sites to evaluate hydrogeologic, biogeochemical, and physiochemical factors affecting the extent and growth behavior of CVOC plumes in groundwater. It demonstrates that broad trends in relationships between plume behavior and key site variables can be determined through the statistical analyses of historical field data from a large number of sites.
Such information is useful in bounding the uncertainty in CVOC plume
behavior that is important in making risk and long-term resource management decisions. The possible application of the CVOC historical case data to individual site plume behavior uncertainty will be discussed and illustrated by examples. Important measurements that are frequently neglected will also be discussed.
