The Removal Process for Remedial Project Managers (RPMs) Course, a 2-day training course, focuses on the various aspects of the removal process and various methods of integrating removal actions at National Priorities List (NPL) sites to complete Superfund response activities as quickly as possible. By taking the course, participants will achieve the following objectives:

• Understand the laws, regulations, policies, and processes involved in Superfund removal actions. The course provides an overview of removal actions that helps RPMs understand the role they play in the Superfund cleanup program.
• Identify removal authorities, recognize situations in which removal actions are appropriate, and initiate removal actions. The course examines approaches to the evaluation and initiation of removal actions, emphasizing such challenges as meeting applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements (ARAR) during removal actions.
• Summarize the steps to be taken to implement the removal action and complete the necessary closeout procedures. The course provides a step-by-step review of the conduct of a removal action, from initial activities on site through closeout.
• Apply the RPM's new knowledge to real-life situations. Participants are challenged to use the information acquired during the course to complete realistic exercises and case studies. They also have the opportunity to consider examples of actual issues and problems that arise during Superfund removal actions and the resolutions of such issues.
