Triad Month Series: August 4, 6, 11, 13, 18, 20, 25
July 10, 2009
A little over a year ago, over 260 individuals gathered from the U.S. and abroad at UMass-Amherst in Massachusetts to discuss the use of the Triad Approach to conduct investigations and remedial actions faster, better, and at a reduced cost. The Triad Community of Practice (CoP) will redeliver updates of several of the same sessions to benefit the greater CLU-IN audience that either may not have been able to attend the conference, or were not able to attend a specific presentation while at the conference. By doing this, the Triad CoP hopes participants can learn more about some of the Triad tools and how they have been applied by the environmental industry.
Registration Now Open!! Triad Investigations: New Approaches and Innovative Strategies, Amherst, MA, June 10-12, 2008
January 29, 2008
The June 2008 national conference Triad Investigations: New Approaches and Innovative Strategies will include training sessions, workshops, and platform sessions focused on implementation of new tools, approaches, and strategies for hazardous waste site characterization, site remediation, and site redevelopment. Equipment demonstrations will augment the exhibitions to bring practical applications to the technical theory and case studies presented during the conference. The conference will feature cutting edge tools and techniques for sampling and monitoring related to real-time information, continuous monitoring, and long-term monitoring for site closure and stewardship. Best practices and lessons learned will be emphasized throughout the training sessions, platform sessions, and workshops.
Advancing Best Management Practices: Applying the Triad Approach in the Superfund Program
January 9, 2007
This EPA memorandum requests Regional cooperation in the Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation's (OSRTI) effort to expand the use of the Triad approach to save time and money in the Superfund program where appropriate. Specifically, OSRTI is asking each Region to name a staff contact to serve as the Superfund Regional Triad Lead, who would coordinate ongoing and future Triad efforts in their Region and serve on a new Superfund Triad Workgroup, and to nominate at least two Superfund sites at which to initiate use of the complete Triad process during FY 2007.
Uses of Spatial Analysis and Decision Assistance (SADA) Internet Seminar, August 15, 2006, 1:00PM-2:30PM EDT
August 8, 2006
Spatial Analysis and Decision Assistance (SADA) is free software that incorporates tools from environmental assessment fields into an effective problem solving environment. These tools include integrated modules for visualization, geospatial analysis, statistical analysis, human health risk assessment, ecological risk assessment, cost/benefit analysis, sampling design, and decision analysis. This seminar will highlight the tools uses, but is not a tutorial for the software.
Triad Cost Savings Featured in CleanupNews II
September 12, 2005
In South Dakota, during the fall of 2004, a Triad approach to characterizing petroleum spills was demonstrated at five different sites. The estimated characterization cost savings from the work was $109,000, and the resulting improvement in overall site characterization for the sites is expected to result in improved remediation performance. The results from this demonstration are described in further detail in an article in CleanupNews II (PDF file), issue 21S2, September 2005. CleanupNews is a publication of EPA's Office of Site Remediation Enforcement, in cooperation with the Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation, Office of Underground Storage Tanks, and Office of Emergency Prevention, Preparedness and Response. CleanupNews highlights policy developments, case studies, technology advances, new resources and publications, court cases, and more.
