Ground Water Technical Support Center
| The Ground Water Technical Support Center (GWTSC) provides support on
issues regarding subsurface contamination, contaminant fluxes to other
media (e.g., surface water or air), and ecosystem restoration. The GWTSC
creates critical links between research and real-world problems, providing
a testing ground for research and allowing scientists to focus on high
priority problems. |
 |
The GWTSC works in conjunction with support centers located in other Laboratories
and Divisions within the Office of Research and Development as part of the
U.S. EPA Technical Support Project. Activities in which this center is engaged
include:
- Quick-response technical assistance to Remedial Project Managers and other
decision makers
on site-specific problems at Superfund, RCRA, Brownfields, concentrated animal
feeding operations (CAFO), and ecosystem restoration sites.
- Consultation and performance of treatability studies focused on the natural and enhanced
remediation of subsurface contaminants.
- Support for models and model reviews for site-specific applications.
- Workshops, seminars, and conferences on state-of-the-science issues.
- Specialized training courses.
- Development of Superfund, RCRA, and Brownfields Issue Papers, Briefing Documents, and Summary Papers.
- Dissemination of publications and technology-focused information packets.
