Radionuclides and Arsenic Rules

Web Cast Training Sessions: Summer/Fall 2004

EPA's Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water conducted Web cast training sessions for the Radionuclides and Arsenic Rules. The training sessions were intended for state personnel, but were also open to technical assistance providers and system operators. Four sessions were conducted between June and December 2004.

Each Web cast lasted approximately 2 hours and were hosted by EPA via a Web conferencing portal. Though Rule requirements were reviewed, the focus of the sessions were on compliance, treatment, monitoring, and disposal. The sessions also provided real world experience through examples and case studies.
