Highlights

  • CLU-IN Webinar Series on Mining Sites - OSRTI's Technology Innovation and Field Services Division launched a CLU-IN webinar series on treatment technologies at mining sites in June 2012. Topics include technology transfer, innovative and ecological approaches to dealing with mining waste, reuse and recovery technologies, and other related focus areas. The webinars are held on a quarterly basis and listed under Upcoming Internet Seminars (below). Archives of past webinars can be found under Archived Internet Seminars, Videos, and Courses.
  • Region 10 Workshops on Hardrock Mine Geochemistry and Hydrology - EPA's Region 10, ORD, and OSRTI hosted a three-part webinar series in February and March 2013 that focused on evaluating the potential for contaminant release from hardrock mine sites. The goals included enhancing participants' understanding of the key issues regarding water chemistry predictions, identifying the potential sources of contamination from mine sites, and describing practices to mitigate or reclaim facilities to protect natural resources. Information on webinar archives and resources can be downloaded (1pg, 222KB), or accessed below through Archived Internet Seminars, Videos, and Courses.

Upcoming Internet Seminars

  • NARPM Presents ... Ecological Revitalization Using Natural Materials
    May 14, 2013 | 12:00-2:00 PM EDT

    This seminar on Ecological Revitalization Using Natural Materials is jointly presented through the CLU-IN webinar series on mining sites and NARPM Presents... The session focuses on concepts, techniques, and technologies that incorporate the use of natural materials, such as soil amendments, into site and soil remediation. This webinar will help Remedial Project Managers (RPMs) and other site managers and stakeholders better understand the science behind using limestone byproducts, biosolids, manure, compost, and other natural materials to revitalize highly contaminated sites. Real-life applications of soil amendments will be presented through several case studies, including the Vermont Asbestos Group Removal Site and the California Gulch Superfund Site, where soil treatments were applied for remediation and to promote and establish a persistent vegetative growth.
