Model Work Plan - Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment (AFCEE)
The Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment (AFCEE) provides Guidance for Contract Deliverables (GCD) as a link on their website. The purpose of the Guidance is to provide assist AFCEE contractors in preparing documents related to the Installation Restoration Program (IRP) on active and closure bases. The model work plan provided on the site is a template which identifies the tasks to be accomplished for a specific project. Sections of the model work plan contain boxed instructions, in italicized text, which directs the Installation Restoration Program contractor to fill in the required site-specific information.
American Petroleum Institute (API)
The American Petroleum Institute (API) is the U.S. oil and natural gas industry's primary trade association. Among other activities, API develops recommendations for federal and state legislative and regulatory advice that is based on scientific research, technical legal and economic analysis, and public issues communication. API also assists in development of technical standards, provides opportunities for technical cooperation, and promotes other activities to improve the industry's competitiveness through sponsorship of self-supporting programs.
CLU-IN Technology Selection Tools
USEPA maintains a central website (CLU-IN) that provides information about innovative treatment and site-characterization technologies, and functions as a forum for all environmental remediation stakeholders. The CLU-IN site maintains a number of useful links, including a link to the remediation technologies screening matrix -- a user-friendly tool to screen for technologies for a remediation project. The matrix allows the user to screen through many in-situ and ex-situ technologies for soil or groundwater remediation. Criteria used in screening include contaminants, development status, overall cost, and cleanup time. In-depth information on each technology also is available, including direct links to over numerous cost and performance reports written by members of the Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable (FRTR).
Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council (ITRC)
The Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council ( ITRC) was established in 1995 as a state-led, national coalition of personnel from the environmental regulatory agencies of 43 states and the District of Columbia; three federal agencies; tribes; and public and industry stakeholders. The organization is devoted to reducing barriers to, and speeding interstate deployment of, better, more cost-effective, innovative environmental techniques. ITRC operates as a committee of the Environmental Research Institute of the States (ERIS), a public charity that supports the Environmental Council of the States (ECOS) through its educational and research activities aimed at improving the environment in the United States and providing a forum for state environmental policy makers. Additional information about ITRC and its products and services can be found on the Internet at www.itrcweb.org.
Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (NAPL) Cleanup Alliance
The Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (NAPL) Cleanup Alliance, established in 2001, is one of the six active Action Teams under the Remediation Technologies Development Forum (RTDF). The USEPA created the RTDF in 1992 to foster collaboration between the public and private sectors in developing innovative solutions to mutual hazardous waste problems. The NAPL Cleanup Alliance includes representatives from the petroleum industry, federal and state government, and academia who share an interest in pursuing aggressive technologies for removing large-scale non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) contamination.
The Technical Information Working Group of the NAPL Cleanup Alliance is cooperating with an ongoing project for the Ground-Water Remediation Technologies Analysis Center (GWRTAC), sponsored by the US DOE, to compile a searchable database of existing information on NAPL research and cleanup projects in the United States and Europe. When the database is completed, the information will be made available via the Internet. The Alliance(www.rtdf.org/public/napl/) and GWRTAC (www.gwrtac.org) will provide access to the database via their Internet sites.
Alliance members also are developing an LNAPL training program that can be delivered across the country. The strawman created by API and industry members is being revised and will then be distributed to the regulatory community for review.
