Electroplating Processes and Cleanups
This 1.5-hour course presents an operational approach for responding to contamination at electroplating facilities,
including general information about the electroplating process and remediation of hazardous wastes. An interim revision is now available.
This interim version provides a new design and course structure to address functional deficiencies.
EPA is currently reviewing the course to make additional updates to technical content.
This course is sponsored by CEC and hosted by Tetra Tech.<o:p></o:p>
Environmental Remediation Technologies – Monitored Natural Attenuation
This course provides environmental professionals with a general overview of monitored natural attenuation and key considerations when selecting monitored natural attenuation as a remedial option. Monitored natural attenuation is defined as the reliance on natural processes to achieve a site-specific remedial objective.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to accomplish the following objectives:
- Define monitored natural attenuation and its five main processes
- Identify the key considerations when selecting monitored natural attenuation
- Know the advantages and limitations of monitored natural attenuation
- Discuss case studies that demonstrate monitored natural attenuation processes
- Describe screening criteria for the applicability of monitored natural attenuation
Heavy Equipment Overview Training for Site Managers
This course provides a general awareness-level overview of the most common types of heavy equipment, often referred to as “yellow iron” that site managers may need to use on a response action. The purpose of the online course is to give new EPA site managers, or those unfamiliar with heavy equipment, a guided tour of the typical types of heavy equipment a site manager may encounter at a hazardous waste site cleanup. Although the examples and scenarios in this training are removal-based actions, the equipment and concepts presented are relevant to all site managers including On-Scene Coordinators, Remedial Project Managers, and other site managers
Upon completion of this course, you should be better able to:
- Identify some of the considerations for selecting equipment suitable
for different types of response actions.
- Describe health and safety considerations for working with heavy
equipment including both pre-use considerations and operational
considerations.
- Describe the most common types of heavy equipment that may be
needed for a response action, including alternative equipment names,
operational descriptions, different equipment attachments, and
operational constraints and challenges.
- Identify some specialized equipment that site managers may need for
less common response actions and unique circumstances.
This course is designed for new site managers with less than two years’ experience and limited field experience. More experienced site managers may find this course useful as a refresher or as a resource to obtain information on different types of heavy equipment that may be needed for a response action.
