FOCUS ON IMPLEMENTATION NURTURE SUCCESS ITRC Project Life Cycle • Groundwater Statistics • Bioreactors
Implementation • Getting ITRC guidance into the hands of target users to improve decision making • Documenting the results of their use to showcase ITRC success
What is ITRC Success? • ITRC’s Expected Results
2 Key Success Types for ITRC are: • Use of the document for site activities/decision making • Incorporating/referencing ITRC document in state (or other agency) guidance
Success Snippets Minnesota:Concepts from LNAPL Training used to support risk management decision; resulted in saving approximately $500,000 in overall cleanup dollars. Louisiana:Decreasing approval time. At Army FUDS, ITRC ISM guidance used to develop site work plan. Time was saved as document provided good information to answer reviewers’ questions/comments. California:Estimated resource savings of at least a 50% time savings compared to developing their guidance without the ITRC ISM information. “If we [CA] had to develop a separate ISM guidance document or include an ISM approach, it would have taken at least 50% more time to develop the NOA guidance.” Colorado:Estimate a 90% savings in resources because the ITRC ISM document was available with credible information to support the inclusion of ISM information into Colorado’s draft Owner/Operator Guidance.
Implementation Session Goals • Preview our new ITRC guidance documents, how, when and why they should be used [led by Team Leader(s)] • Demonstrate use of documents [led by Team Leader(s)] • Gather your ideas about who could benefit from using these documents (specific people, sites, states) [small group discussions]
Today’s Implementation Sessions: • 1st Session (1 hour): Biochemical Reactors for Mining-Influenced Water • led by Cherri Baysinger (MO), David Cates (OK), and Steve Hill (Program Advisor) • 2nd Session (1 hour): Groundwater Statistics and Monitoring Compliance • led by Ning-Wu Chang (CA) and Lesley Hay Wilson (Program Advisor)
