Internet Training Opportunities

Employees have an opportunity to take advantage of Internet-based training opportunities in May and June, sponsored by the Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council (ITRC). The Utah Department of Environmental Quality is an active partner with ITRC, a state-led coalition of regulators, industry experts, academicians, citizen stakeholders, and federal partners working together to increase regulatory acceptance of state-of-the-art environmental technologies. DEQ is actively working in ITRC committees to develop training and regulatory guidance documents.

Training

ITRC technical teams develop and deliver free, live, interactive, Internet-based training on emerging environmental technologies. ITRC also partners with industry and other organizations to develop inexpensive classroom courses offered across the country.

Internet-based training planned for May and June include:

May 11th – What’s New with In Situ Chemical Oxidation?
May 18th – Site Investigation and Remediation for Munitions Response Projects
June 13th - Design, Construction and Monitoring of Bioreactor Landfills
June 15th - Permeable Reactive Barriers: Lessons Learned and New Directions

Guidance Documents

ITRC’s 60-plus documents include technology overviews, technical/regulatory guidance, and case studies. The guidance documents – often incorporating decision trees – set out uniform requirements for technology demonstrations or approvals. Some of the most recent guidance document topics include: direct push well technology, permeable reactive barriers, remediation process optimization, and management of outdoor small arms firing ranges.

Please e-mail Neil Taylor (the State ITRC Point-Of-Contact) if you would like to be included in the monthly training notification list or receive a list of available ITRC technical guidance documents or new documents as they become available.
