TRAINING COURSE OVERVIEW

The Department of Defense (DOD) is currently working on an inventory of 
former ranges with potential for munitions contamination. There are an 
estimated 2,000 munitions-contaminated sites located in all 50 states 
and territories that may affect more than 10 million acres. State and 
tribal regulatory officials and community stakeholders are routinely 
required to evaluate DOD cleanup strategies with little, if any, 
environmentally oriented munitions response training or guidance. State 
regulators are increasingly being charged with oversight responsibility 
for munitions response cleanup projects on other than operational 
ranges, such as formerly used defense sites (FUDS) and base realignment 
and closure (BRAC) sites. In addition, DOD project managers and industry 
will benefit from a greater understanding of state regulator expectations.

ITRC's Unexploded Ordnance Team has developed this Internet-based 
training on the site investigation and site remediation process for 
munitions response sites on nonoperational ranges. This training 
provides an introduction and overview of the processes, tools, and 
techniques used in investigation and remediation. These concepts are 
illustrated using an example munitions response site. During the course 
of the training, major steps in each process are identified and key 
regulatory considerations discussed. This training also identifies 
additional sources for more detailed information on key aspects of 
investigation and remediation. State regulators and others who need to 
understand the general processes involved in these critical aspects of 
the munitions response process will benefit from this training.

Related ITRC trainings include Munitions Response Historical Records 
Review and Geophysical Prove-Outs for Munitions Response Projects.

Registration is available at http://clu-in.org/studio/seminar.cfm. More 
information is available at http://www.itrcweb.org under Internet-based 
training. The training is provided by the ITRC Unexploded Ordnance Team. 
ITRC is a state-led coalition working together with federal partners, 
industry, academia, and stakeholders to achieve regulatory acceptance of 
environmental technologies.
