Remedial Design/Remedial Action (RD/RA)
Offered by U.S. EPA
Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation

Remedial Design/Remedial Action (RD/RA) focuses on aspects of the RD/RA phase of a Superfund project and the objectives, issues, and challenges that Remedial Project Managers (RPM) face during clean up.  The RD/RA course is a 2-day workshop held at various locations in the continental United States and is free for participants.

This course is intended primarily for RPMs who have two or more years of experience or who currently are or soon will be involved in an RD/RA project.  State personnel also are welcome to participate.

By taking the course, participants will achieve the following objectives:
  • Identify steps for implementing and completing an RD/RA project under Superfund. The various tracks of the course provide a comprehensive examination of the RD/RA process from which RPMs can select the specific training that best suits their needs.

  • Describe the overall effort needed to conduct an RD/RA project and identify and anticipate the difficulties that can arise during such an effort. The course provides practical guidance that helps both engineers and RPMs who have other backgrounds effectively implement the design and construction phases of a Superfund cleanup.

  • Describe the role of the RPM as project manager. The course examines the crucial role of the RPM in planning an RD/RA project; effectively managing contracting, scheduling, budgeting, and other aspects of the effort; coordinating activities with states and tribes; conducting effective community relations efforts; and more.

  • Apply the skills they have developed to real-life situations. The workshop portion of the course provides RPMs the opportunity to work through realistic case studies that highlight actual issues and problems that can arise.
*This course is offered free of charge to all registrants who are confirmed to attend.*
