Triad Month Session 3: Triad During RD/RA
Today's session is the third in a series of seven sessions collectively comprising Triad Month on CLU-IN. This two-hour session will look to dispel the common perception that Triad is simply a tool used during characterization. To meet that objective, we will be re-delivering two of the selected presentation from the June 2008 conference on this topic. The first is a case study involving Seymour Johnson AFB in North Carolina, where future first planning, Triad techniques, and performance-based contracting strategies were employed to accelerate site closure. The second is a demonstration of one of the many useful tools in the Triad toolbox — Spatial Analysis and Decision Assistance (SADA). In addition to learning more about SADA, the instructor will use a removal action to demonstrate the use of this useful Triad technique.

Triad Month Session 5: Triad Implementation
Today's session is the fifth in a series of seven sessions collectively comprising Triad Month on CLU-IN. In two successive presentations, this 1.5-hour session will examine the implementation of Triad principles and processes. The first presentation by Nick Nigro of ECCS Nationwide Mobile Laboratories, "Programmatic Implementation of the Triad Approach within a State Reimbursement Program" presents the successful experience of the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) program to remediate local agricultural supply dealerships using the Triad approach. Sharon Budney of CDM is making the second presentation, "Effective Funding Management Approaches for Triad Investigations." This presentation describes successful funding and budget management approaches used to implement the Triad approach during the remedial investigation at the Emmell's Septic Landfill Superfund Site located in Galloway Township, New Jersey.

Triad Month Session 6: Triad Case Studies
Today's session is the sixth in a series of seven sessions collectively comprising Triad Month on CLU-IN. During this two-hour session, two Triad practitioners will present case studies of the Triad approach. In the first case study, "Characterizing a Complex TCE Groundwater Plume, Eliminating Suspected Source Areas, and Reducing Investigation Costs for a RCRA RFI at Shaw AFB, SC," Jonathan Shireman of Shaw Environmental & Infrastructure, will demonstrate how the Triad approach was successfully used to complete a RCRA Facility Investigation in a complex geologic setting with highly sensitive land use at Shaw Air Force Base. For the second case study, Kym Takasaki with the U.S Army Corp of Engineers, will present a case study on "Using Environmental Visualization System (EVS) Modeling to Develop Remediation Alternatives."

Triad Month Session 7: Dynamic Work Strategies
Today's session is the seventh (and last) in a series of seven sessions collectively comprising Triad Month on CLU-IN. During this two-hour session, two Triad practitioners will present case studies of the Triad approach. In the first case study, "Real Time CSM Visualization and Feedback," Mr. John Sohl of Columbia Technologies will demonstrate concepts as well as case studies regarding one of the most challenging aspects of the Triad toolbox — that being able to both process large data sets as well as incorporate them into an evolving CSM, visually, so that both onsite and offsite project stakeholders can "see" the current investigation status. The second case study takes those concepts up a notch in terms of volume of data to manage and the duration of the program of interest. Between these two presentations, you will be better equipped prior to your next project planning process of potential means to manage data onsite and convert empirical 2-D results into more useable formats.

This training familiarizes participants with ITRC's Phytotechnology Technical and Regulatory Guidance and Decision Trees, Revised (Phyto-3, 2009). This document provides guidance for regulators who evaluate and make informed decisions on phytotechnology work plans and practitioners who have to evaluate any number of remedial alternatives at a given site. This document updates and replaces Phytoremediation Decision Tree (Phyto-1, 1999) and Phytotechnology Technical and Regulatory Guidance Document (Phyto-2, 2001). It has merged the concepts of both documents into a single document. This guidance includes new, and more importantly, practical information on the process and protocol for selecting and applying various phytotechnologies as remedial alternatives.
This guidance contains decision trees:
- Remedy Selection Decision Tree
- Groundwater Decision Tree
- Soil/Sediment decision Tree
- Riparian Zone Decision Tree

Enhanced Attenuation of Chlorinated Organics: A Site Management Tool
![Interstate Technology Regulatory Council](https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/web/20090808015344im_/http://www.clu-in.org/conf/itrc/images/itrc_logo_small.gif)
This training on the ITRC Technical and Regulatory Guidance for Enhanced Attenuation: Chlorinated Organics (EACO-1, 2008) describes the transition (the bridge) between aggressive remedial actions and MNA and vise versa. Enhanced attenuation (EA) is the application of technologies that minimize energy input and are sustainable in order to reduce contaminant loading and/or increase the attenuation capacity of a contaminated plume to progress sites towards established remedial objectives. Contaminant loading and attenuation capacity are fundamental to sound decisions for remediation of groundwater contamination. This training explains how a decision framework which, when followed, allows for a smooth transition between more aggressive remedial technologies to sustainable remedial alternatives and eventually to Monitored Natural Attenuation. This training will demonstrate how this decision framework allows regulators and practitioners to integrate Enhanced Attenuation into the remedial decision process.
As our experience and knowledge grows around the implementation of MNA, the EA process will be considered an important management tool for optimizing site remedies and moving sites to final completion. This approach is consistent with the current regulatory environment and can be accommodated within a broad range of regulatory programs such as CERCLA and State dry cleaner regulations. This new framework and decision process will accelerate the environmental clean-up progress on a national scale and reduce overall costs, while still providing protection to human health and the environment.
For reference during the training class, participants should download and print a copy of the decision flow chart, Figure 2-1 on page 10 of the ITRC Technical and Regulatory Guidance for Enhanced Attenuation: Chlorinated Organics (EACO-1, 2008) and available as a 1-page PDF at http://www.cluin.org/conf/itrc/eaco/ITRC-EACO-DecisionFlowchart.pdf.

In Situ Bioremediation of Chlorinated Ethene - DNAPL Source Zones
![Interstate Technology Regulatory Council](https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/web/20090808015344im_/http://www.clu-in.org/conf/itrc/images/itrc_logo_small.gif)
For this training and guidance document, a DNAPL source zone includes the zone that encompasses the entire subsurface volume in which DNAPL is present either at residual saturation or as "pools" that accumulate above confining units. The DNAPL source zone includes regions that have come into contact with DNAPL and may be storing contaminant mass as a result of diffusion of DNAPL into the soil matrix. Even though DNAPLs may be present in both the unsaturated and saturated zones, the discussion of ISB of DNAPL source zones in this training and guidance document focuses on treatment of DNAPL source zones within the saturated zone.
Two goals of any DNAPL source treatment technology are to 1) reduce the mass of contaminants within the source area and 2) prevent migration of contaminants above unacceptable levels. The enhanced ISB technology reduces source mass and controls flux through the enhanced dissolution and desorption of DNAPL constituents into the aqueous phase, and subsequent microbially mediated degradation processes. Although enhanced ISB of DNAPL source zones has been demonstrated in the field at a few chlorinated solvent sites, expectations for rapid depletion of the source zone must be realistic. This training and guidance provide detailed requirements necessary to support the realistic determination of goals for ISB of a DNAPL source zone.
