RPM 201, a 2 ½-day, intermediate-level training course, expands on the Remedial Process Course offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) CERCLA Education Center (CEC). The course is offered as part of the ongoing effort to prepare RPMs for the challenges they will encounter during all aspects of a remedial action. The instructional methodology will include case studies to provide participants an opportunity to apply the skills learned during the course. The course will also include time for participants to ask specific questions about their own sites they currently are working on. By taking the course, participants will achieve the following objectives:

• Learn how to manage common issues or concepts at remedial action sites, such as vapor intrusion, sediment removal, contaminated groundwater plumes, and green remediation.
• Learn project management skills, including management of a project, forecasting resources and costs, planning meetings, documenting site activities, and tracking schedules and costs.
• Learn effective ways to communicate various types of issues at sites to residents and communities.
• Learn how to incorporate optimization into new and existing remedial actions.

RPM 201 is recommended for RPMs with at least six months experience and may have assisted other RPMs with remedial actions or now are preparing to take the lead in conducting a remedial action.

While RPM 201 may be most beneficial to new RPMs with 5 years experience or less, the course is very interactive and more experienced RPMs that attend will be encouraged to share their field background with the class.

Superfund 101 and the Remedial Process Course are prerequisites for attendees to participate in RPM 201.

*This course is offered free of charge to all registrants who are confirmed to attend.*
