Class Details

Remedial Design/Remedial Action (RD/RA) focuses on the RD/RA phase of Superfund projects, addressing the objectives, issues, and challenges faced by Remedial Project Managers (RPMs) during response planning and implementation. The course provides a comprehensive examination of the RD/RA process, providing practical guidance to effectively implement the design and construction phases of a Superfund cleanup. It emphasizes the crucial role of the RPM in planning RD/RA projects, highlighting their responsibilities in managing contracting, scheduling, budgeting, and other aspects of the effort; coordinating activities with states and tribes; and conducting effective community relations efforts. Participants have the opportunity to work through realistic case studies that illustrate actual issues and problems that may arise.

Course Objectives:

• Identify steps for implementing and completing an RD/RA project under Superfund. 
• Describe the overall effort required to conduct an RD/RA project and anticipate potential difficulties that may arise. 
• Describe the role of the RPM as the project manager. 
• Apply the skills developed to real-life situations. 

The RD/RA course is recommended for EPA RPMs with two or more years of experience or those currently involved or soon to be involved in an RD/RA project. It also serves as a valuable refresher for more experienced RPMs, and may benefit other Federal Agency, state and tribal site managers involved in RD/RA projects.
