PDH UNITS: 5

EPA’s Technology Innovation and Field Services Division has developed a set of twenty-two guides summarizing cleanup methods used at Superfund and other sites.  This course describes these methods, and, for each method, answers six questions in a concise and accurate manner: 1) What is it? 2) How does it work? 3) How long will it take? 4) Is it safe? 5) How might it affect the public? and 6) Why use it? This course is intended for civil, construction, environmental, and geotechnical engineers, and is especially useful for Remedial Project Managers and Community Involvement Coordinators who must explain complicated treatment technologies to the lay public. This course is based on a compilation of the EPA’s Technology Innovation and Field Services Division’s “A Citizen’s Guide Series to Cleanup Technologies”, published in 2012.  See http://cluin.org/products/citguide.
