ITRC AND AFBC
In a precedent-setting arrangement with federal and state environmental
regulators, ITRC and the Air Force Base Conversion Agency have formally
agreed to partner in a joint effort that will facilitate the deployment
of the Diffusion Sampler. The partnership has grown out of the ongoing
efforts of ITRC's Diffusion Sampler Protocol Team working with the U.S.
Geological Survey and other federal agencies. The Diffusion Sampler
technology is estimated to be as much as 70% cheaper than conventional
methods while still producing accurate samples and even better samples
in certain cases.  A press release is available at www.itrcweb.org .

INTERNET TRAINING

Sampler Internet-based training course in June with courses planned for:
