As a result of past military training and weapons testing activities, unexploded ordnance (UXO) exist on sites designated for Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) on Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) and other closed ranges on active installations. Munitions ranging in size from 20-mm projectiles to 2000-pound bombs can be distributed on the surface or buried at these sites showing no visible evidence of their presence. SERDP and ESTCP successfully developed and demonstrated technologies that are now widely used to detect, classify and remediate UXO on land.The programs currently focus on UXO in the underwater environment. Ponds, lakes, rivers, estuaries, and coastal ocean areas restrict access and significantly impact the performance of technologies that detect munitions. Following a decade of investment, the programs have developed emerging technologies to detect, classify, and localize UXO in the underwater environment. After testing these technologies across established demonstration sites, the programs are now transitioning to deploy them at live sites where UXO are believed to be present. This presentation will walk through several different developed technologies.

Superfund uses a risk-based decision framework to assess and manage human exposure to a release and the threat of a release in the environment from pollutants and contaminants. The risk assessment process quantifies the baseline risk from route of exposure (e.g., inhalation, ingestion, etc.) and the toxicity (e.g., cancer and noncancer). Furthermore, when information such as toxicity is not available, the risk assessment may provide a qualitative assessment to inform the risk manager towards a protective remedy. An important aspect is identifying at-risk populations that may be more susceptible to adverse health outcomes due to their vulnerability and sensitivity (e.g., children). However, Superfund has not issued national guidance on how to incorporate or consider concurrent exposure to factors such as psychosocial stress, racial/minority status, low-income and food insecurity, which have been shown to modify risks from chemical releases for at-risk communities. Executive Order 12898 requires EPA to identify and address, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of its programs, policies and activity on minority and low-income populations to the greatest extent possible. This webinar will provide an overview of the following topics: superfund risk assessment, chemical stressors, non-chemical stressors, Environmental Justice, screening tools, and superfund site case studies.

The U.S. EPA Office of Mountains, Deserts and Plains has launched a new initiative - the Environmental Monitoring and Remediation Technology Assessment Initiative (EMRTAI) - that is focused on innovative technologies to recover critical minerals from waste materials at Superfund legacy hard rock mine and mineral processing sites. The goal of EMRTAI, which is being developed to support stakeholders across the mining industry, is to generate credible data through a quality-driven technology assessment program to promote advancement of innovative technologies and informed decision-making. At present, there are nearly 100 mining or mine-related sites on EPA's Superfund National Priorities List (NPL), and many more sites throughout the U.S. in variable stages of remediation. EMRTAI will advance EPA's mission to protect human health and the environment by assisting technology developers and vendors with performance assessments that target site clean-up and critical minerals recovery technologies as part of sustainable materials management. Environmental justice is critical to the just treatment and meaningful involvement of all people, regardless of income, race, color, national origin, Tribal affiliation, or disability, in agency decision-making and other Federal activities that affect human health and the environment so that people are fully protected from disproportionate and adverse human health and environmental effects (including risks) and hazards, including those related to climate change, the cumulative impacts of environmental and other burdens, and the legacy of racism or other structural or systemic barriers. EMRTAI will assist public entities such as non-profit organizations, Tribes, industries, businesses, states, individuals, and communities in making better informed decisions when selecting new or existing environmental technologies for use at contaminated sites. A stakeholder group to support EMRTAI will be forming in July 2024. Please join this webinar to learn more about EMRTAI and how to become involved.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and its contractors performing oversight at Superfund Sites review numerical models developed to simulate contaminant transport. An analytical transport model could be used to check the numerical model results but a practical modeling tool based on a 3D analytical solute transport model is not publicly or commercially available. The roles of an analytical model in Superfund oversight are to simulate the general plume behavior; guide the development of, and provide a check for, a more complex numerical solute transport model; and evaluate smaller scale transport such as during natural gradient tracer tests. EPA tasked APTIM to develop an analytical model for solute transport in a three-dimensional aquifer of finite thickness with uniform flow, dual porosity, sorption, sequential decay, and time-dependent source. The new model was verified against existing analytical models for special cases and against numerical models MT3DMS and RT3D, and published in two journal papers. EPA tasked RTI to develop a graphical user interface (GUI) for the model. Example applications are analysis of tracer tests at the Stringfellow Superfund Site and simulation of TCE plume at the Fresno Sanitary Landfill.

To help meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund program's mandate to protect human health and the environment from current and potential threats posed by uncontrolled hazardous substance (both radiological and non-radiological), pollutant, or contaminant releases, the Superfund program has developed a human health evaluation process as part of its remedial response program. The process of gathering and assessing human health risk information is adapted from well-established chemical risk assessment principles and procedures. Within the Superfund remediation framework, radioactive contamination is dealt with in a consistent manner as with chemical contamination, except to account for the technical differences between radionuclides and chemicals. This consistency is important since at every radioactively contaminated site being addressed under Superfund's primary program for long-term cleanup, the National Priorities List (NPL), chemical contamination is also present.
