<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
Executive Summary<br />
The On-Scene Coordinator (<strong>OSC</strong>) Readiness Training Board (RTB) designed and implemented the 10th<br />
Annual <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program, Then and Now, to ensure that <strong>OSC</strong>s throughout the United<br />
States continue to receive training to meet the specific requirements of their jobs. For 10 years, the<br />
Annual Readiness Training Program has served as a national forum where <strong>OSC</strong>s can discuss regional and<br />
national issues of concern. The forum identifies ways that <strong>OSC</strong>s respond to issues and is one of the<br />
mechanisms used to coordinate with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Headquarters to<br />
promote national consistency in implementing EPA’s National Approach to Response. The Readiness<br />
Training Program brings together in a single venue a variety of response personnel to learn, network, and<br />
communicate response issues and solutions. These personnel include <strong>OSC</strong>s, EPA regional removal and<br />
emergency response support staff, branch chiefs, community involvement coordinators (CICs), regional<br />
attorneys, enforcement personnel, members of EPA’s Environmental Response Team (ERT) and the<br />
National Decontamination Team (NDT), remedial project managers (RPMs), representatives from other<br />
federal and state agencies, and local responders.<br />
EPA realizes the importance of partnerships from the federal to local level to prepare for simultaneous<br />
occurrences of incidents of national significance. As a result, each year EPA has increased the number of<br />
representatives from local, state, and federal responders. This year, for example, EPA invited five<br />
members of EPA’s Response Support Corps (RSC) from each regional office to attend the <strong>2007</strong><br />
Readiness Training Program.<br />
The various offices within EPA’s Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) have<br />
worked as a team with <strong>OSC</strong>s across the nation to develop training specifically for <strong>OSC</strong>s by <strong>OSC</strong>s. The<br />
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program was held from February 12 through 16, <strong>2007</strong>, in Miami, Florida.<br />
The <strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program included more than 446 1 participants and consisted of 36<br />
technical training courses; daily plenary speakers; a Hot Sites forum; and a Tech Zone that featured<br />
response tools and exhibits.<br />
Overview of Preparations<br />
The <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Task Force directed the <strong>OSC</strong> RTB to develop a training program specifically for<br />
<strong>OSC</strong> job functions. The RTB is made up of <strong>OSC</strong>s and representatives of Office of Emergency<br />
Management (OEM) and Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation (OSRTI). RTB<br />
members are responsible for developing, planning, and implementing the <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training<br />
Program that occurs each year. The RTB selects the courses offered at each <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training<br />
Program based on current needs, feedback from previous offerings, and training requests from <strong>OSC</strong>s and<br />
their supervisors.<br />
Preparations for the <strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program began immediately at the end of the 2006<br />
<strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program, held in July 2006 in Los Angeles, California. Members of the RTB<br />
reviewed the evaluations for the 2006 Annual Training Program to identify the courses that should be<br />
offered again, revised, or omitted, as well as new courses to address topics currently of interest to <strong>OSC</strong>s.<br />
Planning for the Annual Training Program included monthly conference calls, face-to-face meetings of<br />
the RTB, and communication with EPA’s OSWER, OEM, OSRTI, and ERT.<br />
The RTB selects courses and sessions and develops the agenda according to the objectives of the <strong>OSC</strong><br />
Annual Training Program, which are to provide <strong>OSC</strong>s opportunities to: strengthen the knowledge and<br />
skills essential to successful job performance; provide a diverse learning experience that <strong>OSC</strong>s can<br />

Overview of Activities<br />
Plenary sessions at the Annual Readiness Training Programs complement the in-depth training that occurs<br />
during the technical courses. The plenary sessions are a forum that presents information about new<br />
policies and guidance relevant to EPA’s National Approach to Response, as well as details about national<br />
and local initiatives. The sessions also are intended to maintain communication between the regions and<br />
EPA’s Headquarters. Daily plenary sessions were held each morning of the <strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness<br />
Training Program. Some of the topics addressed during the week include the <strong>OSC</strong>’s role in response,<br />
homeland security, the role of the RSC, protecting the nation’s water infrastructure, Hot Sites, and the<br />
removal manager report.<br />
Thirty-six training courses covering technical, legal, and administrative topics were offered at this year’s<br />
Annual Training Program. The training methodologies used in the courses were varied and included case<br />
studies, lectures, Web-based training, and discussion. Some of courses offered included Advanced<br />
Hazard Identification and Categorization, Assessing Vapor Intrusion from Ground Water and Soil to<br />
Indoor Air, Avian Influenza, Case Studies, Daily Implementation of the Incident Command System<br />
(ICS), Environmental Support Function (ESF)-10 — From No Mission to Mission, How to Be Nice and<br />

the course materials are provided on the <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program Web site at<br />
http://www.oscreadiness.org/<strong>2007</strong>/.<br />
Working luncheons for participants at the <strong>OSC</strong> Training Program were sponsored on Monday, February<br />
12, and Wednesday, February 14. These meetings updated participants on homeland security issues that<br />
face EPA and presented issues that confront responders.<br />
The Tech Zone, available Monday through Thursday, featured 26 exhibits, demonstrations, and<br />
informational booths that showcased information of interest to <strong>OSC</strong>s. The Tech Zone provided an<br />
opportunity for participants to network and learn about new initiatives and resources available to assist<br />
them with their jobs. Descriptions of the Tech Zone exhibits are available on the <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness<br />
Training Program Web site at http://www.oscreadiness.org/<strong>2007</strong>/.<br />
Several after-hour activities were planned during the week to bring participants together in informal<br />
settings. Activities included a welcome reception sponsored by the Deauville Beach Resort on Monday<br />
night and the “Gumbo Fest” on Thursday night.<br />

<strong>Evaluation</strong> of Overall Training Program<br />
Participants were asked to complete an evaluation form for the overall Readiness Training Program.<br />
They evaluated 11 areas of the training program on a scale from “strongly agree” to “strongly disagree.”<br />
<strong>Evaluation</strong> forms were collected from 169 participants. Of the participants who submitted an evaluation<br />
form, 54 were <strong>OSC</strong>s with an average of more than 12 years experience. More than half of the <strong>OSC</strong>s who<br />
responded indicated they had participated in at least five annual <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Programs.<br />
The majority of respondents strongly agreed or agreed with all 11 areas, indicating that the <strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong><br />
Readiness Training Program was a success. A small number of participants, less than 1 percent, indicated<br />
that they did not agree that the program allowed them to strengthen the knowledge and skills essential to<br />
successful job performance. About 10 percent of the respondents indicated that they did not agree that the<br />
plenary sessions provided useful information about current topics of interest to removal and emergency<br />
responders.<br />
<strong>Evaluation</strong> of Training Courses<br />
An evaluation form specifically tailored to the training courses was provided to all students. Students in<br />
each course were asked to complete the form, which included questions about topics such as presentation<br />
materials, handouts, the pace of the session, and recommendations for improvement. Participants also<br />
were asked to rate the training course on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best rating. A total of 1,155<br />
evaluation forms for the training courses were collected. Of the 36 courses offered (one course was<br />
offered twice), nine courses received an average grade of 5, 26 courses received an average grade of 4,<br />
and 2 courses received an average grade of 3. No training courses received an average grade of 2 or 1.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
Recommendations<br />
Based on discussions with and observations by the RTB and Tetra Tech throughout the Readiness<br />
Training Program, several recommendations have been put forth for next year’s training. They<br />
recommend shortening the opening plenary session on Monday morning to 2 hours and then scheduling<br />
Hot Site presentations for the remainder of the morning. In addition, the focus of the Readiness Training<br />
Program, “training by <strong>OSC</strong>s for <strong>OSC</strong>s,” should be maintained. However, EPA should invite other EPA<br />
offices, federal partners, and states to attend the program. To help with this balance, training courses<br />
should be identified for either members of the RSC or for <strong>OSC</strong>s. Courses should also focus less on<br />
emergency response and more on the “roots” of the removal program. The RTB also recommends<br />
carrying the Readiness Training Program theme throughout the week and building on it.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
1.0 INTRODUCTION<br />
The On-Scene Coordinator (<strong>OSC</strong>) Readiness Training Board (RTB) designed and implemented the 10 th<br />
Annual <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program, Then and Now, to ensure that <strong>OSC</strong>s throughout the United<br />
States continue to receive training to meet the specific requirements of their jobs. For 10 years, the<br />
annual Readiness Training Program has served as a national forum where <strong>OSC</strong>s can discuss regional and<br />
national issues of concern. The forum identifies ways that <strong>OSC</strong>s respond to issues and is one of the<br />
mechanisms used to coordinate with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Headquarters to<br />
promote national consistency in implementing EPA’s National Approach to Response. The Readiness<br />
Training Program brings together in a single venue <strong>OSC</strong>s, EPA regional removal and emergency response<br />
support staff, and other response support staff that are internal or external to the EPA and from the<br />
federal, state, and local level to learn, network, and communicate response issues and solutions.<br />
As the likelihood increases of multiple simultaneous incidents of national significance, so too does the<br />
need for expanded partnerships at many levels. Each year, the number and affiliations of representatives<br />
from local, state, and federal responders invited to attend the Readiness Training Program expands in<br />
response to the need for coordination and collaboration among the response community. This year, EPA<br />
invited five members of EPA’s Response Support Corps (RSC) from each regional office to attend the<br />
<strong>2007</strong> Readiness Training Program. The training and networking of <strong>OSC</strong>s and RSC staff during the week<br />
enhanced EPA’s commitment to maintaining a dedicated, well-trained, and technically competent staff to<br />
respond to incidents of national significance throughout the United States.<br />
The various offices within EPA’s Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) have<br />
worked as a team with <strong>OSC</strong>s across the nation to develop training specifically for <strong>OSC</strong>s by <strong>OSC</strong>s. They<br />
include the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) and the Office of Superfund Remediation and<br />
Technology Innovation (OSRTI). Within those offices, OSRTI’s Environmental Response Team (ERT),<br />
OEM’s Oil Program Staff, and National Decontamination Team (NDT) have been integral to<br />
development of the training. Other EPA offices, including the Office of Research and Development’s<br />
(ORD) National Homeland Security Research Center (NHSRC) and the Office of Radiation and Indoor<br />
Air’s (ORIA) Radiological Emergency Response Team (RERT), contributed to developing and presenting<br />
training materials.<br />
The <strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program was held from February 12 through 16, <strong>2007</strong>, in Miami,<br />
Florida. The <strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program consisted of 36 technical training courses; daily<br />
plenary speakers; a Hot Sites forum; and a Tech Zone that featured response tools and exhibits. More<br />
than 446 1 people attended, representing <strong>OSC</strong>s, EPA regional removal and emergency response support<br />
staff, branch chiefs, community involvement coordinators (CIC), regional attorneys, enforcement<br />
personnel, members of ERT, NDT, and the RERT, Remedial Project Managers (RPM), and<br />
representatives from other federal and state agencies, and local responders.<br />
This report presents an overview of the <strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program, summarizes the<br />
comments provided on the evaluation forms, and provides recommendations for annual training programs<br />
in the future. The report is divided into five sections, including this introduction:<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
3.0 EVALUATIONS<br />
The results presented in the following subsections are based on comments received on the training<br />
program evaluation forms and on the evaluation forms provided to students in each training course.<br />
3.1 Overall Training Program<br />
An evaluation form for the overall Readiness Training Program was included in the participant materials.<br />
Participants also were offered the option of completing the evaluation form on-line. Participants were<br />
asked to evaluate 11 areas of the training program on a scale from “strongly agree” to “strongly disagree.”<br />
<strong>Evaluation</strong> forms were collected from 169 participants. Of the participants who submitted an evaluation<br />
form, 54 were <strong>OSC</strong>s with an average of more than 12 years experience. More than half of the <strong>OSC</strong>s who<br />
responded indicated they had participated in at least five annual <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Programs.<br />
The majority of respondents strongly agreed or agreed with all 11 areas, indicating that the <strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong><br />
Readiness Training Program was a success. A small number of participants, less than 1 percent, indicated<br />
that they did not agree that the program allowed them to strengthen the knowledge and skills essential to<br />
successful job performance. About 10 percent of the respondents indicated that they did not agree that the<br />
plenary sessions provided useful information about current topics of interest to removal and emergency<br />
responders.<br />
A detailed report on the individual comments provided by participants is included in Appendix B,<br />
Comments about the <strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program.<br />
3.2 Training Courses<br />
An evaluation form specifically tailored to the training courses was provided to all students. Students in<br />
each course were asked to complete the form, which included questions about topics such as presentation<br />
materials, handouts, the pace of the session, and recommendations for improvement. Participants also<br />
were asked to assign a number grade for each training course on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best<br />
grade. A total of 1,155 evaluation forms for the training courses were collected. Table 2 presents an<br />
overview of the grades received by each course. Of the 36 courses offered (one course was offered<br />
twice), nine courses received an average grade of 5, 26 courses received an average grade of 4, and 2<br />
courses received an average grade of 3. No training courses received an average grade of 2 or 1.<br />
A detailed report of the individual comments provided by participants for each training course is provided<br />
in Appendix C, Comments about Individual Training Courses.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS<br />
The recommendations presented in this section are based on discussions with and correspondence among<br />
members of the RTB and Tetra Tech, as well as observations made during the week.<br />
A detailed report on all of the recommendations is included in Appendix D, Detailed Recommendations.<br />
• Recommend shortening the opening plenary session on Monday morning to 2 hours, then<br />
schedule Hot Site presentations for the remainder of the morning.<br />
• Concern was expressed about losing the focus and purpose of the <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training<br />
Program, “training by <strong>OSC</strong>s for <strong>OSC</strong>s.” Training courses should be identified as either for<br />
members of the RSC or for <strong>OSC</strong>s. Additionally, courses should focus less on emergency<br />
response and more on the “roots” of the removal program.<br />
• Continue to conduct a “hot wash” session with the RTB members immediately after the end of<br />
the training conference.<br />
• Carry through the theme during the entire week and to evaluate how to build on it. Other partners<br />
— such as other EPA offices, federal partners, and states — should also be involved, while still<br />
maintaining training “training by <strong>OSC</strong>s for <strong>OSC</strong>s.”<br />
• Continue to make available during the training program the program evaluation forms online on<br />
the <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program Web site. Set up a link to the online forms at the ERT<br />
Internet Café. After the training program, allow up 2 weeks for attendees to complete the<br />
program evaluation form.<br />
• Ensure that all EPA program offices and special teams receive credit for planning and<br />
participating in future Readiness Training Programs.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
5.0 CONCLUSIONS<br />
The ample opportunities for <strong>OSC</strong>s and other participants to enhance their technical skills, network with<br />
other <strong>OSC</strong>s and attendees, and share information demonstrate that the <strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training<br />
Program was a success. That conclusion is bolstered by other factors, such as the positive comments<br />
received from participants, the overwhelmingly good grades for the majority of the courses, the strong<br />
turnout, and the smooth and efficient proceedings of the event. Participants praised the variety of<br />
technical training that was available, appreciated the on-site support provided during the week, and<br />
enjoyed the variety of after-hour activities. At the conclusion of the week’s activities, the objectives had<br />
been met — that is, <strong>OSC</strong>s and other participants obtained relevant training; learned about and shared<br />
information about policies, technologies, response strategies, and lessons learned; and above all, departed<br />
the training conference with increased knowledge and stronger skills to help them more successfully carry<br />
out their jobs.<br />

B-2 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
Comments on how readiness training has helped to improve job performance<br />
General comments<br />
• Provides a broad overview of response community issues, in particular weapons of mass<br />
destruction (WMD). (Two responses)<br />
• Attendance at <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness has been an essential part of my training as a regional coordinator<br />
in EPA OEM.<br />
• Providing refresher.<br />
• Program wide knowledge. Better represent my clients — the <strong>OSC</strong>s.<br />
• The main thing is keeping abreast of what the Federal <strong>OSC</strong>s (F<strong>OSC</strong>) expect from their scientific<br />
support personnel, such as ATSDR. Also, the EPA interpretation of the latest regulations or<br />
changes in regulations helps improve the advice and recommendations that we make to the<br />
F<strong>OSC</strong>s.<br />
• Very good training. Some state of the art/state of science discussions.<br />
Comments related to networking<br />
• Allowed a greater opportunity to meet and discuss the position of <strong>OSC</strong> with other <strong>OSC</strong>s around<br />
the country; mixing with other <strong>OSC</strong> from my region or other regions is invaluable. (Thirteen<br />
responses)<br />
• Allowed me to receive feedback from regulators.<br />
• Allows networking with <strong>OSC</strong>s and other agencies. (Six responses)<br />
• Better awareness of national issues, networking. (Three responses)<br />
• I do not attend the courses; however, the time spent with the <strong>OSC</strong>s from each region enhances my<br />
ability to support their information technology needs and find out what is new in each region.<br />
• It provides a national perspective on cleanups and allows for important interaction with<br />
colleagues from across the country.<br />
• Leadership skills, technical skills, speaking skills and networking with other <strong>OSC</strong>s, Headquarters<br />
and ERT.<br />
• Making contacts and learning who I can call on to get help.<br />
• Provided ability to learn from other <strong>OSC</strong>s regarding site-specific information directly relevant to<br />
my work as an <strong>OSC</strong>.<br />
• The readiness program is an excellent opportunity to meet <strong>OSC</strong>s from other regions, learn how<br />
they are approaching similar projects, etc. The “Knowing and Using the National Contingency<br />
Plan (NCP)” course gave me essential tools necessary to do my job.<br />
• They have made me more aware of how the EPA has been able to interact with state responders<br />
for emergencies and how the state can call on the EPA for help during state emergencies.<br />
• You continue to include contracts and that is very helpful. As a project officer working with<br />
<strong>OSC</strong>s daily, the connection is very valuable. More ICS is great. Also very helpful for setting up<br />
our Integration Management Team (IMT).<br />
• Working the Tech Zone booth, answering questions, talking to people, and attending sessions all<br />
help me improve.<br />
• Yes! Better understanding of what <strong>OSC</strong>s do and issues they face.<br />
Comments related to increasing knowledge and skill set<br />
• Better understanding of how to work a Superfund site.<br />
• Beyond the networking aspect, I learn the most up-to-date regulations, changes within program,<br />
program successes, and things that need to be improved within the emergency response arena.<br />
B-3 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• By giving insight and direction into alternative cleanup technologies.<br />
• Provides information sources and contacts. (Two responses)<br />
• Better understanding of how the Superfund Division works.<br />
• Great technical information as well as program communication.<br />
• I have used the information presented in other programs to conduct emergency response,<br />
removals, and homeland security initiatives.<br />
• Provide basics for new assignments. I gain pertinent information on items I have heard of but did<br />
not know.<br />
• Provided resource materials, a chance to think about various situations that we could encounter,<br />
developed a knowledge bank.<br />
• Response and Removal techniques and tools.<br />
• The information presented is helpful and helps in keeping up-to-date on relevant information.<br />
• Useful information for the job.<br />
Comments related to training and presentations<br />
• Benefit from others experiences ... especially case studies with follow up tools for response.<br />
• Great training that is pertinent to my job. (Two responses)<br />
• I usually take classes that I do not have experience with (i.e. pipeline integrity, wastewater<br />
treatment, disposal, stranded waste, etc.), so they all improve my overall knowledge of the<br />
emergency response field.<br />
• Implemented information I learned at the training to achieve cost savings at various removals.<br />
• Improved my technical knowledge in some areas. (Two responses)<br />
• In some cases the programs have been a refresher of skills not used every day (radiation and<br />
biological preparedness), and in other cases the programs have provided new information<br />
(pipeline inspection and contracts training).<br />
• It has allowed me to strengthen the knowledge, skills, and abilities that are essential to successful<br />
job performance. (Two responses)<br />
• Learning techniques and gaining actual knowledge that let me attack things head-on.<br />
• Learning non-scientific subjects (effective communication, NCP).<br />
• Overall useful information has helped during emergencies, mostly. The Mercury Response class,<br />
in particular, has come in handy!<br />
• Provided a better understanding of the training and responsibility involved with being an <strong>OSC</strong>.<br />
• Provided excellent experience and guidance information.<br />
• Most of the courses provide expanded knowledge on a subject that I am familiar with, provide<br />
baseline information on subjects that I am not familiar with, or promote outstanding discussions<br />
from colleagues across the country.<br />
• The course materials have provided incredible insight into how to more efficiently complete<br />
certain tasks in my job.<br />
• The training has been essential for my job improvement. I use the courses as an opportunity to<br />
review and learn how to do things better as an <strong>OSC</strong>.<br />
• These trainings have been one of the most effective forms of on-the-job training (OJT) with<br />
classes, opportunities to network, and providing reference materials.<br />
• They have provided some basic training to assist in giving me a broad base of knowledge. The<br />
courses have also kept me current on technologies via case studies, etc.<br />
B-4 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• This year I was able to attend one session. It was very well set up with various presenters that<br />
had good presentation skills and information. Always learn new information.<br />
• Update on current issues of interest and concern; overview of science and approaches used to<br />
address contaminants of concern.<br />
Comments on strengthening the knowledge and skills that are essential to successful job<br />
performance<br />
General comments<br />
• Good insight into how EPA does things,<br />
received some new response ideas.<br />
• Very useful experience for me.<br />
• There is more focus on disaster response<br />
in EPA than I once imagined; our<br />
organizations are quickly melding to<br />
coordinate in such efforts.<br />
• Best way to improve performance and<br />
knowledge is by learning with peers.<br />
• I also attended some sessions outside my<br />
skills base and work area to get an<br />
appreciation of the work. I really enjoyed<br />
doing that.<br />
• I appreciate the work of the <strong>OSC</strong>s more<br />
and truly understand why they are the core<br />
to what we do.<br />
The program allowed me to strengthen the<br />
knowledge and skills that are essential to<br />
successful job performance.<br />
• Indirectly it enhanced my knowledge base pertaining to my realm (USCG).<br />
• It is impossible to spend 4 and half days in training and not strengthen your knowledge, skills,<br />
and abilities – just not necessarily “ESSENTIAL” to successful job performance.<br />
• My performance as a Regional Coordinator in OEM is improved by: increased knowledge of<br />
<strong>OSC</strong> functions and issues; meeting and discussing issues with <strong>OSC</strong>s; and hearing discussions of<br />
regional differences in implementing OEM programs.<br />
• The training was well done and will continue to help me in my job.<br />
Comments related to specific courses and topics<br />
• Contracts<br />
• Beyond the training, I believe the networking — meeting and talking with many <strong>OSC</strong>s and other<br />
regional folks — has been very helpful.<br />
• The sessions presented by <strong>OSC</strong>s were particularly informative.<br />
• More policy classes would help.<br />
• Continue to push for evidence-based scientific presentations to provide an improved foundation<br />
and understanding for <strong>OSC</strong> removal actions or exposure assessments. This is especially<br />
important for new or complex exposures such as bioagents, asbestos, etc.<br />
• Having the Russian Doctor who has been in the business directly related to bio-weapons put<br />
things into perspective. It clarified to “what extremes countries pose threats.” That helps us<br />
better prepare.<br />
• I enjoyed the ESF-10 and Planning for Disaster Courses.<br />
• More <strong>OSC</strong> Case Studies!<br />

B-5 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• More practical hands-on with meters and applicable equipment when the specific conference unit<br />
applies.<br />
• More WMD stuff.<br />
• Risk Communications course was outstanding.<br />
• NCP course was also very good, lots of great handouts.<br />
• The Hazardous Categorization (HAZCAT) class was great.<br />
• In situ Burning (ISB) and Groundwater Intrusion was good also.<br />
Comments related to networking and building better partnerships<br />
• Interaction with <strong>OSC</strong>s.<br />
• Interaction with RSC and ties to ICS.<br />
• Keep the connections between contracting and the program. They need each other.<br />
• As a state representative, I would like to see more discussion on the framework for<br />
communication between state and federal agencies during an emergency.<br />
• As a state representative, it is very helpful for seeing <strong>OSC</strong>s from other regions and support.<br />
• Good to hear how others have solved problems in the field.<br />
• Networking is most important part of training.<br />
• The sessions that I attended were very informative. State representatives could benefit by<br />
attending such training to: collaborate with federal representatives, learn from each other’s<br />
experiences, concerns, requirements, etc.<br />
Comments on recommending others attend the readiness training program when offered again<br />
• A remarkable training opportunity overall.<br />
Well attended and well supported by all.<br />
Management support was strong and noted by<br />
many attendees. Tetra Tech did a very<br />
professional job and contributed to the<br />
program’s success. Clearly the people<br />
supporting this event are motivated and<br />
committed to making the conference the best<br />
it can be.<br />
• Also encourage <strong>OSC</strong>s to participate in<br />
presenting training courses.<br />
• As a first-time attendee, I came away with a<br />
good feeling that the <strong>OSC</strong> community knows<br />
what they are doing. This training supports<br />
that feeling.<br />
• Core classes are great, but new classes need to<br />
be cycled in.<br />
I would recommend that others attend this<br />
training program when it is offered again.<br />
• Good breadth of subject matter; Region 1 rotates <strong>OSC</strong>s through oil program, so it is nice to have<br />
oil classes available when we need to brush up on it and take other things in off years.<br />
• I am an RSC member and would recommend access to the training, either at the next program or<br />
locally, for all RSC members.<br />
• I especially enjoyed Steve Mason’s presentation on receiving an ESF mission assignment. He<br />
also did a great job discussing the nuances of working in a Joint Field Office (JFO).<br />

B-6 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• I hope positions will be available each year to include state <strong>OSC</strong> personnel in this kind of training<br />
conference. I believe it was beneficial to me and would benefit most of the rest of the responders<br />
and managers on my team in Georgia.<br />
• I wish I had signed up my whole office for this training.<br />
• It is not as important for the RSC to attend as <strong>OSC</strong>s and IMT members.<br />
• It was great that the RSC got to attend.<br />
• Mostly for newer <strong>OSC</strong>s.<br />
• <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness is some of the best training available, both because of the quality of the courses<br />
and the energy of the participants.<br />
• Response program staff should attend for response cross training. Never know what the next<br />
response will entail.<br />
• RSC is great.<br />
• Project officers and contract officers working in the program office.<br />
• Some classes should be made mandatory – it is a good opportunity to ensure certain material is<br />
available to a wider audience.<br />
• To gain understanding and knowledge about the <strong>OSC</strong>s’ job.<br />
• Yes, especially new <strong>OSC</strong>s or field people and management as well.<br />
• You are probably wondering why I disagree that others should take the course. Let me clarify<br />
that I think the group should stay together in preparation, like the military. You want trained<br />
personnel that have been in the same teams to continue the buddy system, but at the same time<br />
open the window for recruitments, since again like the military there is always room for more<br />
people to train; re-enforcements.<br />
Comments on usefulness of the information provided in the morning plenary sessions<br />
General comments<br />
• Good team building time; good format for<br />
broad based subject and topics.<br />
• Help! Please no more Beatles references.<br />
• While some speakers were more interesting<br />
to me than others, I heard positive<br />
comments from other attendees about the<br />
information being shared.<br />
• However, it is a useful place to distribute<br />
information [without taking the time to]<br />
time to go too far in depth [which the<br />
information] does not require.<br />
• Morning plenary sessions were not helpful<br />
for state representatives.<br />
• Some speeches seem dry — information<br />
useful — hot sites very helpful to a variety<br />
of staff.<br />
• The only good plenary was Tom Dunne’s<br />
talk. (Two responses) The others were not<br />
useful at all. It was very embarrassing to<br />
The morning plenary sessions provided useful<br />
information about current topics of interest<br />

B-7 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• The more information and training, the better prepared we are as responders.<br />
• They are okay. Not great. I like morning time as a chance to network with other regions and<br />
special teams... Hard to say much about this after the “O.S.C.” incident(s)...<br />
Comments related to content of morning plenary sessions<br />
• Case studies provide the most useful information in the shortest period of time since they are<br />
most relevant to my job as an <strong>OSC</strong>. (Two responses)<br />
• I especially liked the last one with the fire man guy.<br />
• I like the site discussions and management updates.<br />
• The opening plenary was the worst I have ever attended. At every other Readiness I have thought<br />
the opening session was stimulating, addressed important issues, and was funny. This one had<br />
“talking heads” that seemed out of touch with who they were addressing. (Three responses) On<br />
the other hand, Gary Turner always does well at the morning plenary sessions. Mjoness,<br />
Dietrich, and Tom Dunne were ok too.<br />
• Most of the speakers did not say anything substantial. (Two responses)<br />
• Understand need for <strong>OSC</strong>/Headquarters to exchange information for many sessions.<br />
Comments related to improving plenary sessions<br />
• Given that the meeting was held is such a beautiful locale, I would have liked to see the plenary<br />
information sessions held in the afternoons rather than have the classes go for so long.<br />
• I suggest that the plenary sessions, except for the first day, be removed so the classes start earlier<br />
in the day (Two responses); then suggest that a longer lunch period be made so that folks do not<br />
leave early in the afternoon.<br />
• I would eliminate the “Hot Sites” discussion on Friday; information overload by then. Consider<br />
wrapping-up at 10:00 a.m. or 11:00 a.m. on Friday.<br />
• Move Debbie Dietrich earlier in the week or have as a lunch speaker.<br />
• Should have slides or papers of what key plenary speakers talk on.<br />
• Smaller concurrent sessions may be more interactive and useful.<br />
• Suggest that Monday morning VIP talks be broken up and spread throughout the week rather than<br />
spend two-thirds of the first day in the plenary session.<br />
• Suggest that the Monday plenary talking heads be guided to provide useful information and<br />
insights to the <strong>OSC</strong>s and RSC and also provide inspiration and hope that they have our backs.<br />
• MOVE THE HOT SITES TO ONE OF THE MORNING PLENARY SESSIONS, NOT THE<br />
LAST DAY! There is always something to learn from hot sites/case studies. (Two responses)<br />
• This year the attendance is the largest ever. This necessitated a very large ballroom setup. The<br />
single screen at the front of the room is no longer really adequate for all attending to see.<br />
Comments related to future topics<br />
• I would like to see the <strong>OSC</strong> Task Force report out in one of the plenary sessions. (Two<br />
responses)<br />
• I would rather hear a topic presented by an experience <strong>OSC</strong> or Removal Manager, NAR group, or<br />
special team’s member.<br />
Comments on networking successfully with others from around the country<br />
General comments<br />
• This part of the conference is possibly equal in value to the training sessions — maybe more<br />
valuable — and is difficult to put a value on as it is an intangible that will continue to provide<br />
B-8 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
benefits to the program over years to come. People generally work better with people they have<br />
met. And everyone had a chance to meet and talk with the program’s leaders and managers.<br />
• This type of training offers a networking system<br />
to expand our horizons, and go where there<br />
might be a “hole to fill.”<br />
• This was a GREAT opportunity to meet face to<br />
face with many folks who we usually meet only<br />
on workgroup conference calls.<br />
• As always, the best part about Readiness<br />
Training. (Six responses)<br />
• As good as the training is, the networking aspect<br />
of <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness is equally as important and<br />
useful as the training aspect.<br />
• Best annual opportunity to meet/greet peers<br />
across the country. As we move to a National<br />
Workforce concept, this issue becomes very<br />
important.<br />
• Especially good for Katrina to follow up and<br />
strengthen relationships established from response.<br />
I was able to “network” successfully with<br />
others from around the country.<br />
• Got a good contact on a chemical warfare agent site, very rare for EPA.<br />
• Groups quickly broke out into their own cliques, hard to meet new folks. (Two responses)<br />
• Gumbo Feast and afternoon refreshments assisted in networking.<br />
• I am not sure if the uniform kept people from introducing themselves.<br />
• I saw people I did not even know I knew.<br />
• I was able to network with familiar faces and was introduced to others that may prove useful to<br />
me in my position.<br />
• I was able to network with more response support people but found that “<strong>OSC</strong> time” was harder<br />
to create.<br />
• It is an opportunity to touch base with your peers from around the country.<br />
• It was great to have a venue to meet staff from other regions. Normally, my job is somewhat<br />
isolated so I appreciate the opportunity.<br />
• Many opportunities to network. It is critical to have a hotel with open areas for meeting and<br />
networking.<br />
• Most time is spent talking and catching up with people from your own region. Class time is the<br />
only opportunity to meet new people. Networking is difficult when you are new and everyone<br />
around you is new to you.<br />
• Since I am not an <strong>OSC</strong>, this training allowed me to not only meet other RPMs from around the<br />
country, but it allowed me to meet <strong>OSC</strong>s that I would not have met. This opportunity to network<br />
at the readiness training will allow RSC members and <strong>OSC</strong>s to work together more effectively.<br />
• This and the Case Studies proved to be the best aspect of <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness.<br />
• Good that NHSRC, NDT, ERT, and RERT participate and teach!<br />

B-9 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• I think it would have been good to provide an event or other structured opportunity for <strong>OSC</strong><br />
members from around the country to get together and meet each other.<br />
• Have Gumbo in one area. This year it was disjointed by the inside crowd and the outside crowd.<br />
• I have not worked directly with EPA <strong>OSC</strong>s in my area yet; had a difficult time finding them until<br />
the last day.<br />
• If a field trip was included it would be even better.<br />
• It would have been helpful to have one person for RSC to “compare notes,” network, etc. (discuss<br />
future plans).<br />
• On at least one day we should end the classes at 3:00 p.m. and set up team building exercises; do<br />
away with the Plenary that day and start the training at 8:00 a.m. and we will not lose any time.<br />
• Please organize the contacts list by region.<br />
• The networking was limited because some of the classes lasted longer than the times allotted so<br />
everyone was quick to leave the classrooms afterwards<br />
Comments related to state attendees<br />
• Although I am with a state, I met some great EPA people from around the country. Met some old<br />
friends too. Some I have not talked to in 10 years or more.<br />
Comments on showcasing regional case studies, current tools, and resources available to<br />
removal and emergency responders<br />
• We need more case studies and more time for<br />
the <strong>OSC</strong>s only to meet. At least one day there<br />
should be an <strong>OSC</strong> only meeting/discussion to<br />
talk about prime issues, case studies, and a<br />
presentation update by the Task Force.<br />
• Case studies (and some of the hands-on<br />
training) are, in my opinion, the most<br />
interesting and informative part of the<br />
classroom sessions. (Two responses)<br />
• Case studies offer valuable “lessons learned<br />
opportunities” to better prepare for a disaster,<br />
prevent bad outcomes, and provide safer,<br />
better results. There are better tools out there<br />
to help keep our environment safe. These<br />
opportunities help us to identify them and take<br />
that knowledge back and research it for future<br />
use.<br />
• Enjoyed case studies.<br />
• Good presentations.<br />
The program adequately showcased regional<br />
case studies, current tools, and resources<br />
available to removal and emergency<br />
responders.<br />
• Recommend a GPS/geographic information system (GIS) booth in the Tech Zone where you<br />
could have a little more one-on-one besides the formal session.<br />
• Lukewarmly agree as described above. (Two responses)<br />
• Not all regions do removals the same way; Regions have developed great response tools over the<br />
years.<br />
• Really enjoyed the Alaska pipeline response. Need to develop cold weather response tools.<br />
Visuals were very good. Need to work with hot site to make sure visuals are more than dark blue<br />
slides with yellow words in a dark room.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• Should try to have more speakers from the states.<br />
• The material offered was timely.<br />
• This is what morning plenary sessions should consist of.<br />
• Trainings I attended provided useful Web sites and phone numbers of people (not recordings) in<br />
the event we needed to work together on something.<br />

Comments on selection of courses<br />
General comments<br />
• Courses helped me and were well done.<br />
• Good balance of new materials and older ones.<br />
• Great Job. Very useful.<br />
• Great selection — wish there had been time to<br />
take a few more sessions.<br />
• I do not have any specific recommendations<br />
— only that future <strong>OSC</strong>s guiding the process<br />
of course selection should strive for more<br />
“graduate level” courses — and introductory<br />
type courses be polished to provide insights<br />
into the program initiatives and priorities.<br />
• I feel that course selection is being watered<br />
down trying to accommodate other people<br />
than <strong>OSC</strong>s. When there are less than 40-50<br />
percent of <strong>OSC</strong>s in a class, it is no longer “For<br />
<strong>OSC</strong>s, by <strong>OSC</strong>s.”<br />
• I had to make painful choices, I wonder if a<br />

second evening session for really popular conflicting sessions would be do-able.<br />
• I thought this year’s offerings were better than the past.<br />
• This training provided classes, not just for EPA <strong>OSC</strong>s, but other organizations as well.<br />
• There were some days loaded with great classes and others that had weak classes.<br />
• I was not able to take all of the classes I would like to have taken. Hopefully I will be able to take<br />
them in the future.<br />
• I wish I was able to attend the HAZCAT, but it was full. If it is possible for the classes that are<br />
only allotted for specific number of attendants and in high demand, offer it twice.<br />
Comments for new course topics<br />
• I also suggest bringing in some new training from the Fire Academes, Department of Justice,<br />
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Drug Enforcement Administration, and others to bring<br />
some new blood and ideas to the table.<br />
Comments related to course development and instruction<br />
• Avian influenza was offered as part of one course, and then offered as another course. It would<br />
have been helpful to know that ahead of time so that I could have signed up for a different course.<br />
• I saw a lot of focus on biological emergencies (bird flu and anthrax). Since this was my first <strong>OSC</strong><br />
training, the subject is probably pretty boring. I would like more emphasis on traditional waste<br />
handling, disposal, and sampling.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• Enjoyed hands-on training in HAZCAT class. I would like to move to field identification of<br />
chemicals.<br />
• I attended the absolute worse course I have ever attended at Readiness, Infectious Diseases. The<br />
level was inappropriate, the speakers were horrendous. There was nothing in the course that<br />
provided information to help in a response.<br />
• I believe there should always be an offering related to contract training. I know we have this 40-<br />
hour requirement; however, contracts are so important to our job.<br />
• One <strong>OSC</strong> needs to be designated the “Moderator” of the course and has decision making<br />
capability on the course to re-write, cut, or add. The RTB also should be in the decision loop on<br />
each course. For my Sampling Design Course, I knew 6 months before that a train wreck was<br />
coming. I called and e-mailed the Headquarters instructor and Supervisor and they blew me off.<br />
They used the <strong>OSC</strong>s and gave us 30 minutes to talk for an 8-hour course. We need to head this<br />
off by assigning a lead <strong>OSC</strong>.<br />
• The only class I was disappointed in was the Sampling Design Course on Wednesday. It seemed<br />
as if the instructor was not good at relating to field experiences since this was a Headquarters<br />
person<br />
• The Hydro-seeding course was wonderful; however, the way that it was advertised, I expected the<br />
course to be boring. It was not.<br />
• Especially enjoyed courses taught by Steve Mason (Region 6) — excellent presentation.<br />
• The speakers/instructors were generally good, although some need to work on their delivery.<br />
• Some classes have high level, good speakers but miss the mark on not knowing or being briefed<br />
on what <strong>OSC</strong>s do. Presentations should be aimed at the knowledge piece, but more so to apply to<br />
<strong>OSC</strong>s.<br />
• Some of the smaller classes should be expanded to allow more participation.<br />
• Some redundancy and a heavy emphasis on Katrina (which was not, however, too surprising).<br />
Comments related to RSC-targeted courses<br />
• As an RSC, it would have been helpful to have more courses specific to our potential<br />
development, roles, etc.<br />
• For future hoping to have courses related to RSC volunteers that maybe invited again.<br />
• I think the RSC classes should have been mandatory classes versus optional. Since RSCs need to<br />
be trained on the basics of contracting, field work, etc, this training should be viewed as “boot<br />
camp” or orientation versus giving them the option to pick and choose classes. How can we<br />
expect RSCs will be trained at the minimal levels if they have the option to pick their own<br />
training? The training for RSCs should be standard and they should be tested to make sure that<br />
they can be “certified” to volunteer as an RSC.<br />
• To an extent — need more classes geared to intermediate IMT-types like myself that are not<br />
<strong>OSC</strong>s but have more knowledge than many RSCs.<br />
• I signed up only for courses that were recommended for RSC members, and which of course<br />
attracted large numbers of RSC members. However, several instructors expressed surprise (and<br />
sometimes dismay) at the lack of <strong>OSC</strong>s in the audience and the heavy representation of the RSC.<br />
Comments related to advanced-level training<br />
• Courses for experienced <strong>OSC</strong>s seem to be somewhat limited.<br />
Comments on the organization of the training program<br />
• A strong training board and strong contractor support will always make for great courses. A few<br />
of the course instructors (you know who they are) need to be retired.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• Gary and Jen did a great job. Other Board members helped!<br />
• I do not think it would be possible for Gary Turner or the RTB to organize any better... especially<br />
with the increase in attendance.<br />
• Great job in keeping pace, interest, and time to relax, which prevented burn-out. Thank you for a<br />
job well done!<br />
• Great Job. Very useful. (Four responses)<br />
• Hot sites presentation should be in the<br />
mornings or during lunches; weak<br />
attendance Friday mornings.<br />
• I did not find the “working lunches” useful<br />
and did not attend the second for various<br />
reasons. Key presentations should be<br />
moved to plenary or keynote periods.<br />
• I would like to see the training begin earlier<br />
in the day, (6 or 7 a.m.) so that attendees<br />
have a chance to relax and attend activities<br />
in the local area at the end of the day.<br />
• My interactions with board members and<br />
others associated with the conference were<br />
very professional and they were very helpful<br />
people. As a presenter, things seemed to be<br />
The training program was organized and well<br />
structured.<br />
organized with respect to my hotel reservation, the readiness of the training room, and the support<br />
of board members.<br />
• Nice job there except for the hotel issues. (Two responses)<br />
• Outstanding job of coordination! Impossible to improve perfection!<br />
• Poor communication; hotel reservations were a mess.<br />
• Pre-registering helped a lot.<br />
• Program ok, slides presentation had some technical problems.<br />
• Should be some down time during the day (maybe one morning or one afternoon) so that<br />
individuals/groups do not skip out on trainings because they are looking for some rest and<br />
relaxation in the sun.<br />
• Tetra Tech was GREAT! (Thanks Amanda, Jen, Michelle, and George.)<br />
Comments on things to be done differently when returning to the job<br />
• Access CLU-In and the <strong>OSC</strong> Net Web sites a bit more.<br />
• Application of NCP. (Three responses)<br />
• Apply concepts learned on communication. (Two responses)<br />
• Asses vapor intrusion issues with greater knowledge and understanding. (Two responses)<br />
• Assess tanks and piping differently.<br />
• Associate a specific “color” to my coworkers.<br />
• Avian flu disposal of carcasses issues.<br />
• Be a more effective Regional Incident Coordination Team (RICT) participant.<br />
• Be better prepared for an Incident of National Significance (INS) should one occur.<br />
• Be better prepared for utilizing ICS in an emergency.<br />
• Be better prepared to perform new oil manager role.<br />

B-16 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• Value the EPA a little more.<br />
• Vapor intrusion... other regions’ perspective.<br />
• Wait to attend the next one.<br />
• Wash hands even more often...<br />
• Will try to integrate earlier and better into environmental response (ER) issues.<br />
• Work harder on ICS workgroup - 3 deep.<br />
• Work more closely with other Regions.<br />
• Work on internal communication skills; continue dialogue with Regional contacts.<br />
• Work on public meeting.<br />
• Work with USDA to let them better understand <strong>OSC</strong>s assets with respect to contracting<br />
capabilities.<br />
Comments on topics or courses which should be added<br />
• A 4-hour course on health and safety issues relevant to <strong>OSC</strong>s and our state partners.<br />
• A course on problems encountered out in the field, such as public perception of cleanup activities<br />
and how to overcome them.<br />
• Additional case studies of non-typical responses.<br />
• Advanced Chemistry/Biology: Department of Justice (DOJ) Course Dougway Proving Grounds<br />
Instructors Explosives: Bring in Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) or Annaston<br />
Army Instructors Chemical, Biological, Radiological Forensics Sampling: DOJ/Federal Bureau<br />
of Investigation (FBI) Course Radiation Playbook/Nuclear Annex: Have Jim Mitchell and ORIA<br />
present railroad tank car training: Bring in Union Pacific Advanced Air Monitoring Training:<br />
bring in CTECH use ERT Use of Modeling: Bring in Lawrence Livermore Naval Research<br />
Advisory Committee (NRAC) training. ICS Information Flow: Bring back course from 2004<br />
Crisis Communications: Bring in Barry McLughlin, he does this training for the USCG 2 Week<br />
<strong>OSC</strong> Crisis Management Training. Leadership Skill Training: Bring back from previous<br />
Readiness. New Course: “You can teach old dogs new tricks:” This course would be a tech<br />
course for old school <strong>OSC</strong>s. Introduction to GPS, Street Finders Plus, BlackBerrys, new digital<br />
radios, phones, other useful tech tool for <strong>OSC</strong>s Radio Communications.<br />
• Advanced Eco-revitalization (Beyond Hydro-seeding).<br />
• Air monitoring, Fish Kills.<br />
• Along with the relocation guidance, add reimbursement guidance.<br />
• As a member of the RSC, I felt most courses offered were far too technical for RSCs. Others,<br />
though not too technical, were interesting but not applicable to our duties as RSCs. <strong>OSC</strong>s should<br />
not have to suffer for our lack of technical expertise so I am not suggesting this should be<br />
changed. However, if you continue to combine RSC and <strong>OSC</strong>s together in the same training<br />
conference, you might consider separating the two for the actual courses (i.e., courses only<br />
applicable to RSC, courses only applicable to <strong>OSC</strong>s, and a smattering of courses applicable to<br />
both).<br />
• Bioremediation, PRP lead removals.<br />
• Case Studies.<br />
• Chemical Identification.<br />
• Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM).<br />
• USCG and EPA joint response to a shoreline incident.<br />
• Courses geared at RSC members.<br />
• Debbie D. did great.<br />
B-17 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, more case studies, electronic data gathering and<br />
site information management.<br />
• Drug lab cleanup issues.<br />
• Electroplaters, risk assessment course.<br />
• Enforcement.<br />
• E-Waste Recycling or how to recoup costs to your site.<br />
• Field trips to local removal sites (a real-time case study!).<br />
• Health and safety.<br />
• How about a primer on ICS?<br />
• How CAA 112(r) can help <strong>OSC</strong>s.<br />
• I hear the Beyond Hydro-Seeding was great and I would like to have a chance to take it. Keep it!<br />
• I think making available personal protective equipment (PPE), and a session for on-hands use of<br />
PPE might be useful (i.e., qualifying for use of military equipment; use of PPE, gas masks, types<br />
of gloves for comfort/fit, boot styles, outdoor wear gear instead of jeans, DEET vs. “Off”,<br />
working with your buddy to help with identifying sprained ankle, deep cuts, is there going to be a<br />
nurse on site with the safety crew to administer water from the water buffalos... ideas there they<br />
are).<br />
• I think we need a Basic Rad again and a Basic Rad Response for Superfund Sites. Both have not<br />
been on <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness for several years.<br />
• It would be great to get Web-based tools training (4 or 8 hours). Specifically, some of the tools<br />
developed by NHSRC and NDT.<br />
• May want to consider more contract related courses so <strong>OSC</strong>/Contracting Officer Representatives<br />
(COR) have an opportunity to earn CLPs.<br />
• Maybe more hands-on type stuff? Or two HAZCAT sessions (the one session filled up too<br />
quickly)?<br />
• More developed homeland security tools course; content of this year’s course was good, but not<br />
enough time to cover it.<br />
• More emphasis with Homeland Security objectives and how that correlates with USCG.<br />
• More focus on response immediately following a disaster, from the viewpoint of RSC.<br />
• More presentations from the NRT Special Forces (i.e., EPA ERT, EPA RAT, USCG Public<br />
Information Assist Team [PIAT], USCG National Strike Force [NSF], U.S. Navy Supervisor of<br />
Salvage [SUPSALV], National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration [NOAA] HAZMAT,<br />
ATSDR ERT); it will illustrate what resources are available to the F<strong>OSC</strong>s; it is amazing how after<br />
all these years, some <strong>OSC</strong>’s have never utilized some of these resources!<br />
• More RSC-related stuff.<br />
• More state programs/initiatives/case studies that are similar to federal programs should be<br />
showcased. More waste disposal courses should be offered and include industry representatives.<br />
• Of all the courses, I most enjoyed the “How to Be Nice and Play Well with Others in the<br />
Contracts Environment” course. Very hands on, very educational, and good opportunity for<br />
interactions.<br />
• OSHA certification training or continuing education credits (CEU).<br />
• Planning a removal before you dig HAZCAT and Disposal Options (I would take these, but did<br />
not get a chance to).<br />
• Presentation of all 10 Regional <strong>OSC</strong> of the year winners and the national notable achievement<br />
winner for <strong>OSC</strong>.<br />
B-18 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• Sampling and Decon for Biohazards.<br />
• Sediment Remediation Options.<br />
• Shorter versions of ERT oil training.<br />
• Specific decon methods - scenarios for specific chemical /biological agents.... rather than generic<br />
threat discussions. Need to show value in communicating effectively with local communities and<br />
addressing their concerns.<br />
• Steve Mason’s ESF-10 course.<br />
• Swift water, small volume oil spill response.<br />
• The Avian Influenza class is one that would lend itself to a question and answer session with<br />
USDA, Office of Prevention, Pesticides, and Toxic Substances (OPPTS), Office of Water (OW),<br />
Air, and experienced <strong>OSC</strong>s.<br />
• TRIAD for <strong>OSC</strong>s. Not TRIAD for RPMs. TRIAD can be used by <strong>OSC</strong>s if they understand<br />
when, where, and how.<br />
• Vapor intrusion (please continue... it is a growing topic).<br />
• Visual Sample Plan training. Bucket chemistry was always a fun refresher. Maybe there should<br />
be an advanced bucket chemistry.<br />
• With the increased attention on Water Security and Response and the ongoing development of<br />
tools/initiatives, I feel the Water System Response Course could be lengthened to a full day.<br />
• WMD responses.<br />
• WMD responses, what does the EPA do, lab capacity, sampling, disposal, transport.<br />
Comments on topics or courses which should be omitted<br />
• Anything that is not taught by an <strong>OSC</strong>. I go to these meetings and expect it to be training by<br />
<strong>OSC</strong>s for <strong>OSC</strong>s, not to receive a lecture similar to ones I had in college. There should be more<br />
class participation.<br />
• Best Management Practices — simple, the class needs to be revamped.<br />
• Combine Avian Flu and Infectious Diseases.<br />
• Hot-Sites from Friday session.<br />
• How to Be Nice and Play Well With Others in the Contracts Environment. (Two responses)<br />
• Knowing and Using the NCP, find a team that can teach the material; it is very important material<br />
and needs to be taught again.<br />
• I was an instructor (case study) in the “Best Management Practices for Efficient Sampling<br />
Design” course. This course has some great potential if it was to be redesigned for the <strong>OSC</strong>.<br />
Way too much time was spent with stats. I know of very few <strong>OSC</strong>s who would spend the time to<br />
do the stats presented in this course. Rather, maybe spend time talking about sampling for a Site<br />
Assessment or sampling during an ER. The main instructor for this course needs to go. This<br />
course could be great if it was geared toward the <strong>OSC</strong>. Also, this course should be 4 hours, not 8.<br />
• ICS.<br />
• Infectious Disease, not so much the topic, but that version.<br />
• Integrity Testing of Pipes.<br />
• Katrina update....<br />
• Less bio-terror.<br />
• Radiological and bioterrorism.<br />
• RadNET the other radiological course — Air Monitoring for Radiation.<br />
• Sampling Design.<br />
B-19 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• Plenary Sessions unless they are more appropriate for <strong>OSC</strong>s.<br />
• RAT training (this should be region specific with your START contractors).<br />
• Tank and Pipe Inspection, the course is too limited to inspectors out in the field.<br />
• The one course — People, Relationships, and Interaction with Incident Management was really<br />
bad. It focused on segregating people into ‘colors.’ I really dislike stereotyping people. It had<br />
nothing to do with ICS and was not what I thought it would be; consequently, I only stayed in it a<br />
half day.<br />
• There seemed to be too many “Biothreats” related courses.<br />
• Training needs of <strong>OSC</strong>s are too diversified to recommend deletion of any specific course.<br />
• Update courses — disaster response with new events. Try to include more tabletops in some<br />
classes.<br />
Comments on topics for which additional training or support is needed<br />
• Aboveground Storage Tanks and terminal facilities regulations and inspection information.<br />
• Biological agents.<br />
• Bring in other Federal agencies, like FEMA, to speak.<br />
• Chemical weapons assessment and decon. But please not the decon team. Find someone who<br />
has actually done the work, not just read about it.<br />
• Coastal oil spill response (overall subject), cost recovery, communications.<br />
• Continuing of operations — what will that mean for <strong>OSC</strong>s? During a pandemic? During a time<br />
where regional RRC becomes incapacitated due to either a terrorist event or a natural disaster!<br />
• DOT Regulations, ICS.<br />
• Explosives, Communications within ICS structure, Radio Communications.<br />
• For RSC: OJT with <strong>OSC</strong>s and inclusion in regional training exercises.<br />
• Have an <strong>OSC</strong> meeting to discuss priorities which could be forwarded to the RPMs.<br />
• Health and Safety.<br />
• Contracts.<br />
• Interaction with the USCG Strike Force. Perhaps a lecture or as a panel guest.<br />
• Introduction to table top exercises for ERs, WMDs, INS, etc.<br />
• Longer courses for HAZCAT — too many topics for short amount of time.<br />
• More hands-on options - applied learning/less lecture - require sessions to have interactive<br />
component.<br />
• More radiation training — specifically Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center.<br />
• More RSC related stuff — field related, office related.<br />
• New technological advances available to combat inland and marine oil spills (skimmers, booms,<br />
dispersants, etc.).<br />
• Pesticides and Biohazard Decontamination Waste Treatment and Disposal Technologies.<br />
• Relocation — reimbursement of personal property.<br />
• Response Contracts — needs work - good topic.<br />
• Risk Communications; particularly for emergency response operations.<br />
• Sampling and decon for biohazards.<br />
• Specific soil sampling strategy taught by <strong>OSC</strong>s — not just an overview but targeted toward<br />
specific contaminants — polychlorinated biphenyls, chromium/metals, volatile organic<br />
compounds, etc.<br />
B-20 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• Stranded Waste needs more coverage since it deals with problems involved with avian flu and<br />
biothreats.<br />
• Terrorism response, EPA’s role and responsibilities.<br />
• Use of engineered soils versus use of RFP to acquire local top soils for use in caps and<br />
construction.<br />
• More discussion of “green construction” techniques.<br />
• Vapor intrusion sample design.<br />
• WMD response — introduction to Clean Water Act/CONA/WMD decon for <strong>OSC</strong>s, refresher for<br />
experienced <strong>OSC</strong>s.<br />
• Working with your Information Officer/CIC (not all communications at a site are “risk<br />
communications”).<br />
• Waste water treatment damage assessments.<br />
Comments on improving the overall readiness training program<br />
General Comments<br />
• After 10 years, the folks putting on the training are so good at it, that I would advise them to resist<br />
making big changes. It ain’t broke, so don’t try to fix it. However, as the number of attendees at<br />
<strong>OSC</strong> readiness expands (approximately 500 this year), there is a danger of losing the “training by<br />
<strong>OSC</strong>s for <strong>OSC</strong>s” flavor. It seems that if the training is intended primarily for <strong>OSC</strong>s, it would be<br />
ideal if attendance stabilizes at about 50 percent <strong>OSC</strong>s.<br />
• Focus, focus, focus. That old logo of “for <strong>OSC</strong>s, by <strong>OSC</strong>” almost disappeared.<br />
• I would also insist that all courses that are chosen by an attendee should be attended. It seems<br />
that by the end of the week many of the classes are half empty. This is either because they are<br />
boring and cannot keep the attentions of an <strong>OSC</strong>, or the students are out playing instead of<br />
working. All attendees must be made to stay in their assigned classes or take annual leave for the<br />
time they are away.<br />
• Local responders should be invited to participate.<br />
• Allow a session for <strong>OSC</strong>s ONLY to meet and discuss both near-term and long-range issues.<br />
These then could be presented to the Regional Managers/Headquarters meetings for<br />
consideration/ deliberations during their meetings.<br />
• Consider Gumbo earlier in the week. That would allow plenary speakers to interact with all, plus<br />
it would serve as a good ice breaker.<br />
• Eliminate the plenary sessions. Many of the sessions were really short and do not actually train<br />
people — just an overview. Would be nice if there were actual in-depth training sessions that<br />
were a day or a day and a half.<br />
• Keep it February.<br />
• More time should be scheduled for lunch so that afternoon courses can start on-time without<br />
interruption from late courses.<br />
• Maybe work towards getting a case study/hot site from each region that 10-15 minutes each.<br />
• More interaction with the remedial program.<br />
• More networking activities.<br />
• Get some highly experienced people that have done it, not just read about it, to share their<br />
knowledge with us. The idea of training by <strong>OSC</strong>s for <strong>OSC</strong>s is outdated in some areas. We now<br />
work in areas that we are not the most knowledgeable or the most experienced. We need to come<br />
to speed quickly in the WMD area.<br />
B-21 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• When <strong>OSC</strong> readiness training began in the late 90s, there were mostly <strong>OSC</strong>s in attendance. Now<br />
this trend (situation) has reversed itself with mostly non-<strong>OSC</strong>s in attendance. I think this is<br />
taking away from the point of the readiness training.<br />
Comments related to courses<br />
• Briefer and more diverse courses. Such as ethics, etc. that <strong>OSC</strong>s need for certification.<br />
• Consolidate all materials on a single Web site for convenient download, rather than hassle of<br />
mailing hardcopies/binders.<br />
• Eliminate the full-day courses. Most everything can be done in a half-day session and it makes<br />
the day much more interesting.<br />
• Expand the week to include site visits to chemical/oil sites if they are in the area.<br />
• General comment: with the development of a national human capital strategy, and the likely<br />
outcome of required <strong>OSC</strong> training regimen, the recommended changes to the curriculum of <strong>OSC</strong><br />
readiness training will become rather obvious. I hope that a Health and Safety track for courses<br />
will emerge over the next few years.<br />
• I attended one course for three-fourths of the time but received no credit because I was called out<br />
for a spill. The instructor would not provide the sign up sheet until the end of the class.<br />
• I would make the classes more “hands on.” (Three responses)<br />
• More hands-on training with advanced chemical classification needs more time allotted for the<br />
course.<br />
• <strong>OSC</strong>s are expected to be very knowledgeable about exposure assessment, basic health issues, and<br />
remediation. Courses need to be at an appropriate level of sophistication (beyond community<br />
responder awareness level) and oriented towards what <strong>OSC</strong>s do for a living. Several of the<br />
courses, while interesting, provide the <strong>OSC</strong> with little information or tools to use in their work.<br />
We need to push for improved high quality state-of-the-art presentations focused on <strong>OSC</strong> needs<br />
and presenters familiar with <strong>OSC</strong> needs to ensure that they get the training they need and can use.<br />
General interest training sessions (i.e., pandemic flu) on a topic should be more focused or limited<br />
to less time.<br />
• Some of the presentations were old presentations; remove those and add current topics or more<br />
current presentations.<br />
Comments related to instructors<br />
• 8 hour classes should audition instructors. Seriously!!! It’s difficult to attend a class by a series<br />
(or one) poor communicator.<br />
• Quality of individual speakers and PowerPoints varied dramatically — even within same courses.<br />
Would be great to have better control over quality — even offer a “training methodology” course<br />
– how to organize course/presentation.<br />
Comments on topics to include during future training programs<br />
• The potato salad class was interesting, fun and I actually learned something.<br />
• Try to include purchase orders for Superfund Technical Assessment & Response Team<br />
(START)/ERRS to learn to support <strong>OSC</strong>s better.<br />
• A complete course on what DoD role could be in an INS. Logistics, Security, Army, Air Force,<br />
Marines, Navy, etc. What they do for us — water purification, transportation, CSTs, Tech<br />
Escort?<br />
• Are we ready for the next one? The response call to go to Alaska? Do we understand what it<br />
takes? And this is not a WMD issue. Or maybe it is.<br />
• Chemical fires.<br />
B-22 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• I would like to hear not just about sites/ERs - but experience innovative and interesting training/<br />
exercises. Want to hear about best of the best exercises.<br />
• Introduction to table top exercises for ERs, WMDs, INS, etc.<br />
• Jurisdiction clarifications (zones) with the USCG and the EPA.<br />
• More case studies on beneficial site reuse and more on site restoration activities.<br />
• DOT/IATO training is a 3-year requirement (<strong>OSC</strong>s are scheduled to attend). <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness<br />
every 3 years would save the other regions a lot of dollars and also provide encouragement for all<br />
<strong>OSC</strong>s to attend Readiness.<br />
• Nuts and bolts class on exercise design/ evaluation with Department of Homeland Security<br />
DHS/Homeland Security Exercise and <strong>Evaluation</strong> Training in morning and in the afternoon have<br />
an exercise.<br />
• On-site analytical instrumentation.<br />
• Site sampling, site access control.<br />
• The “Hot Site” should be the unusual.<br />
• This was some of the most useful information; I can use it on my own removals/ER.<br />
• Train the trainer — presentation techniques, public speaking.<br />
• Waste disposal industry information, methods, etc.<br />
• What are <strong>OSC</strong>s doing in terms of sediment driven jobs?<br />
Comments on recommendations for exhibits or equipment to be added during future meetings<br />
• All of them were excellent and would recommend having them return next year.<br />
• Alternative means/services for providing aerial photography and/or monitoring. Perhaps the DoD<br />
would like to have a booth demonstrating drone technology.<br />
• Assistants were extremely friendly and helpful. Great job.<br />
• Bring in some selected vendors of air monitoring equipment that we use. Local region, ORIA,<br />
ERT should bring in equipment and stage it for show and tell Lawrence Livermore: Bring in<br />
NRAC model and show to <strong>OSC</strong>s.<br />
• Coordinate with presenters and have some of their Web sites already bookmarked in the laptops.<br />
Also a list of Web sites of all presenters should be put in one document. (Two responses)<br />
• Edgewood Chemical Biological Center staff should be expanded. Maybe some vendor tables for<br />
equipment. Also source of sponsors for <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness.<br />
• Equipment from vendors. Area Raes, Sam 940, different radiological equipment.<br />
• ERT.<br />
• ERT’s robot.<br />
• ERT, NDT and RERT need to coordinate their exhibits better in the future. The Environmental<br />
Response Training Program and computer piece should be taken into account to keep this from<br />
seeming to be a competition, instead make coordinated.<br />
• For me, the Tech Zone has lost any appeal.<br />
• I think it should be opened up to regular vendors in our business.<br />
• Katrina-specific information, such as how we handled documents/final deposition, software used<br />
to collect and manage data, etc. It is information important to all regions in the event of an INS in<br />
regions other than 6.<br />
• Mobile labs.<br />
• More new air monitoring equipment vendors.<br />
• More stuff on Special Teams Capability. More equipment displays would be cool.<br />
B-23 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• Most useful for meeting folks and organizations. More commercial stuff — equipment and<br />
vendors.<br />
• NOAA HAZMAT.<br />
• NRT (National Response Team) should be present at all Readiness trainings.<br />
• OSHA.<br />
• RadNET was especially interesting.<br />
• RAT/ERT.<br />
• Recommend National Incident Management System (NIMS)/National Response Plan (NRP) be<br />
finished copy, though I know no one could control timing.<br />
• Session on what people are purchasing and how they are doing it — in the field, in the office -<br />
contacts on who to talk to.<br />
• Some of the new field screening technologies.<br />
• Some of the suppliers need to be represented in the Tech Zone so question can be asked to the<br />
suppliers about their equipment and their reliability.<br />
• The Tech Zone was rather light weight. Some vendors with<br />
decon agents for biological and chemical weapons would have<br />
been nice.<br />
• Waste disposal industry information, methods, etc.<br />
• WMD sampling equipment, biological, chemical, radiological.<br />
• Improved Tech Zone.<br />
Did you attend a working luncheon?<br />
Comments on improving the format of the luncheon<br />
• Actually, these were a pleasant surprise bonus to me.<br />
• Add situations that may be common to all <strong>OSC</strong>s; not being an<br />
<strong>OSC</strong>, I do not know what those topics would include but<br />
perhaps a primer on dealing with STARTs, ERRSs<br />
contractors, or common contracting issues.<br />
• As a representative from a state, I did not find the working<br />
luncheons beneficial.<br />
• Speakers were informative. If one more lunch was provided,<br />
hot sites presentations could be added. (Two responses)<br />
• Format was fine... continue to ensure good speakers.<br />
• Found the luncheon subjects interesting.<br />
• Frank Docimo is no Mike Callen.<br />
• Frank Docimo was excellent!<br />
• Good format. For very large rooms, it would be helpful to have additional display screens<br />
(maybe add a screen on each side wall, in addition to the front).<br />
• Good speakers, good format to present.<br />
• Great speaker.<br />
• Headquarters’ perspective on “What’s ahead/New Legislation and Regulations and Budget”<br />
would be good. <strong>OSC</strong> Task Force or National On-Scene Coordinators Association (N<strong>OSC</strong>A)<br />
should present <strong>OSC</strong>s’ top issues, problems and solutions.<br />
• I enjoyed it.<br />
• I liked the luncheons because it provided an opportunity to hear about current directives, goals,<br />
etc.<br />

B-24 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• I thought the format was terrific.<br />
• Less serious speakers!!!<br />
• Luncheons were well handled and presentations were great.<br />
• Make sure to have relevant speakers.<br />
• Maybe cover contracting so we can get 1 hour credit.<br />
• More decon Anthrax/Avian Flu talk at luncheon. Former plenary session talks would benefit all.<br />
Both Avery and Curtis Snook are excellent speakers and their presence should be elevated within<br />
the <strong>OSC</strong> community. We need to do all we can to retain and attract this level of talent to the<br />
cause.<br />
• Outdoors is always better... weather permitting. (Two responses)<br />
• Outside lunch would have been nice.<br />
• Overall, very good. Excellent coordination.<br />
• The presentation from the guy from Docimo Associates at the lunch was insulting to our EPA<br />
responders, IMHO.<br />
• The working lunch was great and I would recommend having several during the conference.<br />
• They are perfect!<br />
• They worked fine.<br />
• Very happy with the flow and timing.<br />
• Working lunches were great, especially the one with New York firefighter.<br />
Additional comments or suggestions<br />
• If <strong>OSC</strong> readiness is expanded to RSC member training, recommend that the conference by<br />
organized as separate tracks with several overlapping course in the same venue. Hopefully this<br />
would allow for team building and networking, while not diluting the <strong>OSC</strong> training but providing<br />
valuable training for our RSC. This will also ensure that the presenters prepare appropriately for<br />
their audiences.<br />
• Well, it used to. Not so much anymore. This one really was not for <strong>OSC</strong>s. It has been diluted<br />
with all the Response Corps and such. It has diverged from its intent and effectiveness in the<br />
beginning.<br />
• Although we invite RSC, Headquarters, and others, we should still target the training for <strong>OSC</strong>s by<br />
<strong>OSC</strong>s. I am seeing too much training that is not targeted for <strong>OSC</strong>s. I am also seeing other<br />
trainers put an <strong>OSC</strong> on the panel to do a 30-minute case study just so they can get on the agenda.<br />
We need to put the <strong>OSC</strong> or Readiness Board in charge of how the class is organized, prepared<br />
and presented.<br />
• It has been sold out. It is no longer a training for <strong>OSC</strong>s. The focus is on anything but <strong>OSC</strong>s. The<br />
inspiration for the Readiness training was that there was a lack of appropriate intermediate to<br />
advanced training for <strong>OSC</strong>s. Now it has become training for the support corps and the ones prior<br />
to that were for the NEW <strong>OSC</strong>s. I expect the quality and focus to continue to diminish so much<br />
so that I can not recommend it to others.<br />
• It is no longer about the <strong>OSC</strong>s, or even being ready to respond. The <strong>OSC</strong> readiness training was<br />
created because there was a lack of courses available for <strong>OSC</strong>s that were pertinent, and at least<br />
intermediate. If the response corps needs training, then train them with pertinent and appropriate<br />
courses.<br />
• I think we really need to look at this and resurrect and re-energize them or bring back N<strong>OSC</strong>A so<br />
the <strong>OSC</strong>s can get together and express their main issues problems and solutions to Headquarters<br />
and management. The Task Force is not working.<br />
B-25 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• I really feel this was the worst offering of the 4 readiness trainings that I have attended. We need<br />
to re-energize and re-focus the courses to <strong>OSC</strong>'s and not dilute them for others.<br />
• RSC should have a separate tract reserved only for them or “Brand New <strong>OSC</strong>s” with NO ICS<br />
experience. There should be 1 or 2 RSC representatives on the Training Board to develop the<br />
courses and serve as the buddies for the courses in the RSC tract. It is important that it be<br />
combined with the <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness for the networking alone!<br />
• Bigger is not always better! Reduce the number of invites. Some is okay. Less than 40-50<br />
percent of <strong>OSC</strong>s in a class can be a distraction or pull the class in a direction that is not an <strong>OSC</strong><br />
concern. Good Job!!<br />
• A lot of good new topics. Enjoyed it.<br />
• Acknowledge 3 groups of <strong>OSC</strong>s at opening plenary — if any <strong>OSC</strong> has passed away dedicate<br />
Readiness to that person. Then list statistics of names of <strong>OSC</strong>s that have retired; then those who<br />
have left being an <strong>OSC</strong> and then name numbers of new <strong>OSC</strong>s that have come into the program -<br />
all by region.<br />
• Again, as a presenter, thanks for the support and welcome you gave me. I look forward to<br />
working with you in the future.<br />
• Amanda Fairley was extremely helpful to me as a first-time attendee. She truly understood<br />
customer service, taking the necessary actions to make my attendance worthwhile.<br />
• Another successful training event. Wireless internet did not work from most rooms but ERT’s<br />
computers were a great addition.<br />
• Avian flu was interesting, as was Infectious Disease, even though some information was<br />
repetitive in both. Question and answer was great. Air monitoring at RAD sites had too much<br />
nomenclature with equipment units-emphasize on what <strong>OSC</strong> and responders would need to know<br />
would be useful. A few more sessions on WMD responses would be good.<br />
• Best <strong>OSC</strong> training of the year.<br />
• Do the hot sites first on Monday morning. They are interesting and useful, unlike all the speeches<br />
that we had to sit though in that frigid room. That was boring and uncomfortable and made<br />
everyone in a sour mood.<br />
• Every course should have an <strong>OSC</strong> as one of the speakers. In the ISB course (other than<br />
ERT????) I do not think anyone teaching had actually done any burning?????<br />
• Excellent training, thank you.<br />
• For future meetings, it would be a good idea to have a ride-share bulletin board for folks going to<br />
the airport.<br />
• Gary does a great job with this each year. The Training reaches more and more non-<strong>OSC</strong>s.<br />
Three-fourths of attendees were not <strong>OSC</strong>s. We need to make sure that the courses are applicable<br />
to the broader audience.<br />
• Good job to the organizers!<br />
• Great job as usual!<br />
• Great job!! Could Gumbo be moved to earlier in the week?<br />
• Otherwise, a great conference and I plan to attend next year!<br />
• I want to thank the Readiness Board for keeping oil classes on the roster for so many years! It is<br />
important to keep the roots of Office of Emergency and Remedial Response/ER/NCP alive.<br />
Newer staff need to learn the basics! Thanks a lot for 10 years!<br />
• I am ORD and the options for where you are from and what EPA organization you are in are not<br />
there. I am just listed as Headquarters representative. They should add a category for ORD.<br />
B-26 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• I enjoyed re-acquainting with personnel that I worked with in the Katrina response. I also met<br />
people that I have spoken to on the phone concerning issues in their region and the approach to<br />
use in Region 6.<br />
• I enjoyed this training event. Very impressive.<br />
• I know it is difficult and you cannot please everyone, but the venue is important.<br />
• I very much appreciate the opportunity to attend <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness. I have had ICS training and<br />
work well with our Region 1 <strong>OSC</strong> staff, but it is great and useful to have the continued<br />
opportunity to meet other <strong>OSC</strong>s and become more familiar with the people and scope of work.<br />
• I was concerned that over 500 participants and the inclusion of the RSC personnel would dilute<br />
the training, but this was not the case. Everything worked fine.<br />
• I would like to see the training begin earlier in the day (6 or 7 a.m.) so that attendees have a<br />
chance to relax and attend activities in the local area at the end of the day.<br />
• I would need to have attended another <strong>OSC</strong> conference in order to compare. In general — classes<br />
might be a bit too long — field trips would be nice and informative (really!).<br />
• In general, all the training I attended was informative. I would suggest starting all training at 8<br />
a.m. versus 9 a.m., especially for those commuting in the Miami area. The hour later makes a<br />
longer commute. On the other end, 5:30 p.m. also makes a long commute. I like the binders and<br />
will take all applicable information back to my unit to share. Thanks for the invite.<br />
• Jen Grund did a great job, made Gary look good.<br />
• On the who do you work for, you have everyone except RERT. It is a slight that continues every<br />
year. We had several occasional or non-EPA contractors snooping around looking for work<br />
during this conference. I noticed them bothering many. I totally disagree with that. Cheryl<br />
Weaver of Docimo Associates attended our RadNET training and was disruptive. She eventually<br />
left, but should not have been in there in the first place.<br />
• Outstanding week. It is a great time to be an <strong>OSC</strong>.<br />
• Overall a useful training opportunity. One suggestion that I would make for any conference is to<br />
run one or two days long so that there can be a half-day. That way folks can get out and enjoy<br />
some of the tourist opportunities.<br />
• People, Relationships, and Interaction with Incident Management - I strongly recommend not<br />
bringing this class back. To put <strong>OSC</strong>s into groups is unnecessary. Some of these <strong>OSC</strong>s will be<br />
bosses some day and believe it or not the divisions will follow a person.<br />
• Perhaps add a session for RSC folks to get together.<br />
• Presentations in the dark are difficult to focus on. Is there a way to encourage a ‘standard’ back<br />
for PowerPoint presentation that would be better seen with the lights on?<br />
• Thank you for inviting me and for allowing me to present. It was professionally done and very<br />
informative. Again, state representatives could benefit from future training, as well as our federal<br />
partners.<br />
• Thanks a bunch for the opportunity to network and train with fellow responders. <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness<br />
goes a long way towards removing barriers to effective response/site management as well as<br />
building bridges between EPA/state/local responders for more efficient response/site<br />
management.<br />
• The class length seemed a bit long — maybe have 2 breaks instead of one during a session. And<br />
ALWAYS have coffee available. ALWAYS.<br />
• The conference was great and I would have more of the conference turned into either CDs or<br />
DVD formats so that it would be easier to take the information home.<br />
B-27 Comments about the Training Program
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• The group/team support at the laptop area was EXCELLENT!!! Those ladies were very gracious,<br />
helpful, and just lovely people. Please thank them for the excellent support they provided.<br />
• <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness is well planned and executed.<br />
• The Readiness Training should get back to what it was started for, “Training <strong>OSC</strong>s by <strong>OSC</strong>s.”<br />
We had more non-<strong>OSC</strong>s at this meeting than ever and half of them went to the beach to play<br />
instead of working.<br />
• The sampling course and response contracts courses were less useful that I had hoped for. I<br />
strongly recommend recruiting field personnel to supplement the Headquarters instructors. Any<br />
contracting course should be taught by at least one REGIONAL COR, and any<br />
Assessment/Removal course by a FIELD scientist/engineer.<br />
• This was a great training opportunity and I am looking forward to future sessions.<br />
• Was glad to see we did not have the parade of vehicles, tents, Mobile Command Posts this year!<br />
• WELL DONE<br />
• While it was useful having the RSC present, I am concerned about diluting the <strong>OSC</strong> experience<br />
exchange (130 <strong>OSC</strong>s out of 500 attendees).<br />
• This was the best Readiness Training EVER!<br />
• The session was better organized, but some audio-visual problems with slides did occur.<br />
• Always grateful to be allowed to attend!<br />

This 3.5-hour intermediate-level course focused on procurement issues relevant to <strong>OSC</strong>s and others<br />
working in the emergency response community. By attending this course, attendees developed an<br />
understanding of the importance of contract management in emergency responses and removals. Topics<br />
covered were from the <strong>OSC</strong> Tool Box, and the instructors incorporated examples and scenarios to<br />
illustrate the uses of these topics.<br />
In addition, the new clauses implemented in the ERRS III follow-on contracts and Form 1900-55 were<br />
reviewed. Discussion of new tools and resources used in EPA’s regional offices also occurred.<br />
Warranted <strong>OSC</strong>s received 3.5 hours of training toward the continuing contracting education requirements<br />
of the Clinger-Cohen Act (Maloney Bill requirement).<br />
This course was recommended for new <strong>OSC</strong>s.<br />

• Great material.<br />
• Case studies would help to illustrate the dos and don’ts in unusual or unique situations.<br />
• Would be great to break Removal Cost Management System (RCMS) out as a separate class.<br />
• Could have more new material to increase knowledge.<br />
• The course can definitely be upgraded to tougher material.<br />
• Topics to be shortened: streamline new procurement initiatives.<br />
• Topics to be lengthened: performance-based contracts; “Field Experienced” speakers;<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• The materials are good and very well prepared. (Two responses)<br />
• Always need a refresher for contracts.<br />
• Know that your audience is <strong>OSC</strong>s and direct presentation to them. Present a separate session for<br />
those that support <strong>OSC</strong>s and then go into more detail.<br />
• Red text in PowerPoint is difficult to see.<br />
• Get a regional contracting officer (CO) to discuss emergency response contract strategies.<br />
• Needed better time management on section covering national initiatives.<br />
• More time should be scheduled for questions. (Three responses)<br />
• Class could be an 8 hour acquisition process course.<br />
• Include PowerPoint slides from RCMS section in course materials.<br />
• Handout on the “Expanding the Industry Base” Blanket Purchase Agreement areas of expertise<br />
should be full page or separate handout.<br />
• Many national level issues unresolved. These issues need to be resolved by management prior to<br />
next year’s training. The contracting world and the <strong>OSC</strong> operational world still have significant<br />
culture differences. Regions need to be mandated to invest full-time employees (FTE) in the field<br />
accountant position to facilitate bridging this gap!<br />
Comments on course name and abstract expectations<br />
• Very applicable.<br />
• It was accurate.<br />
• This has nothing to do with emergency response contracts. I was expecting an intense version of<br />
warrant training contract mechanisms.<br />
Comments on recommending course to colleagues<br />
• Yes, but course needs modification.<br />
• Would recommend for <strong>OSC</strong>s only.<br />
• Yes, helpful to have <strong>OSC</strong>s and support <strong>OSC</strong>s in the room to hear these issues.<br />
• Yes, because we need acquisition training.<br />
• Yes, because it had some useful information and provides 4 credits for contract training. (Four<br />
responses)<br />
• Would recommend only for a new <strong>OSC</strong> or for RSC who was unfamiliar with the ERRS and<br />
START contracts.<br />

Advanced Hazard Identification and Categorization<br />
Instructors: Doug Ferguson, EPA Region 7<br />
Randy Schademann, EPA Region 7<br />
This 1-day advanced course focused on specific techniques that <strong>OSC</strong>s can use when responding to<br />
incidents involving abandoned containers or other materials of unknown composition. Participants were<br />
expected to be proficient at field chemical identification techniques before they took this course. By<br />
taking the course, participants achieved the following objectives:<br />
• Developed an understanding of major chemical families, their properties, and the techniques used<br />
to identify them.<br />
• Applied a step-by-step approach to categorize the major hazards of wastes typically encountered<br />
at EPA responses. This process helped participants decide whether and what type of further<br />
analysis of the material was needed, and to determine whether bulking the wastes was possible.<br />
• Used wet chemical and electronic instrumentation to identify many materials of unknown<br />
composition, or applied basic hazard categorization to determine the general chemical family to<br />
which these materials belong (such as alcohol, ketone, acid, base, and hydrocarbon).<br />
• Explored practical applications for advanced field chemical identification by reviewing a variety<br />
of case studies that had successfully applied the methods. A discussion was included about<br />
potential cost savings as a result of using reduced analytical services and a decrease in time spent<br />
on tasks.<br />
The instructional methodology for this course included lecture, case studies, and group exercises.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
Air Monitoring at Radiological Emergency Responses<br />
Instructors: John Cardarelli, EPA National Decontamination Team (NDT)<br />
Gregg Dempsey, EPA ORIA<br />
Anthony Honnellio, EPA Region 1<br />
Scott Hudson, EPA NDT<br />
Dave Kappelman, EPA Office of Radiation and Indoor Air (ORIA)<br />
Colby Stanton, EPA ORIA<br />
This course was team taught by representatives of the three EPA Special Teams — the ERT, the NDT,<br />
and the RERT.<br />
The first hour was devoted to a review of EPA’s “national buy” radiation survey and air monitoring<br />
equipment and focused on extending the <strong>OSC</strong>’s understanding of the potential limitations of the<br />
equipment. The instructors reviewed the uses of the equipment, including situations when the equipment<br />
should and should not be used. The instructors also reviewed the differences between the radiological<br />
equipment and typical chemical air monitoring or sampling equipment.<br />
The second hour included a review of the strategy and terminology of air monitoring. This hour included<br />
a discussion of how to convert from typical equipment outputs — for example, converting counts per<br />
minute versus disintegrations per minute to the units more typically of interest in assessing potential<br />
health impacts (roentgen [R] versus Roentgen equivalent: man [rem] versus total effective dose<br />
equivalent versus committed effective dose equivalent). This section of the course primarily focused on<br />
air monitoring plans and implementation and the use of plume modeling outputs to develop an effective<br />
response strategy and monitoring plan. The instructors also reviewed air monitoring “jargon,” such as<br />
annual limits on intake and derived air concentrations that <strong>OSC</strong>s may use to communicate with<br />
radiological experts and contractors to more effectively manage radiation emergency responses and<br />
removal sites. Most importantly, the instructors reviewed the results <strong>OSC</strong>s can expect and how long it<br />
will take to receive data, depending on the type of incident.<br />
Finally, the course included an exercise that required the <strong>OSC</strong>s to apply what they had learned using<br />
preliminary data (provided by the instructors) and air modeling output to develop an air monitoring plan<br />
for a fictional site using the “national buy” equipment and other available tools.<br />
This course was designed as an advanced radiation course. Prerequisites were the ERT’s basic course on<br />
the national buy radiological equipment and EPA’s basic radiation safety training.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
Comments on course content<br />
• Overall - well done!<br />
• This is the best course that I have taken in several trips to Readiness Training.<br />
• Interagency Modeling and Atmospheric Assessment Center (IMAAC) needs to be better defined<br />
and explained and with less slides. (Three responses)<br />
• Too heavy on physics and organizations, need more practical applications.<br />
• Incorporation of RAT and aspects would be helpful and would allow us to get more data quickly.<br />
• More information on sampling techniques. Instructor indicated that it would be possible to use<br />
other samplers.<br />
• Incorporate demonstrations of detectors to show shortcomings and issues to be aware of when<br />
using. It would be helpful if we could try the detectors ourselves.<br />
• Health Physics (HP) terminology - as useful as some terms were, others were not useful.<br />
• Focus on critical criteria and incorporate into scenario. (Two responses)<br />
Comments on instructional methods and materials<br />
• Great flow of material, equipment, and application. (Two responses)<br />
• Excellent student/instructor interaction. (Three responses)<br />
• Exercise was a very good way to summarize the course material. (Six responses)<br />
• The instructors were extremely knowledgeable!<br />
• The exercise and information leading up to it helped me better understand how to develop a<br />
sampling plan/staff.<br />
• More visual presentations and demonstrations needed. (Five responses)<br />
• The pace was both too fast and too slow. Too much information in too short of time; only some<br />
were able to keep up. (Two responses)<br />
• Shorten PowerPoints.<br />
• More online IMAAC exercises.<br />
• Put two IMAAC modules together.<br />
• Provide a quick reference guide (wallet size) on HP terminology.<br />
• It would be nice to have a copy of the RAD playbook and when discussing the equipment go<br />
through some identification through a HAZCAT process diagram.<br />
• Micro-charts were not relevant.<br />
• EPA should consider limiting the size of the class to allow for hands-on training.<br />
Comments on course name and abstract expectations<br />
• You might stress this as something an <strong>OSC</strong> would be expected to do in the first instances of a<br />
dirty bomb incident.<br />

Alternative Countermeasures for Oil Spills<br />
Instructors: Tom Condon, EPA Region 1<br />
Nick Nichols, EPA Office of Emergency Management (OEM)<br />
William Robberson, EPA Region 9<br />
Albert Venosa, EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD)<br />
This course focused on alternative (non-mechanical) oil spill response methods that have gained<br />
popularity and acceptance among industry, federal responders and trustees, state agencies, members of<br />
Congress, and the entire oil spill response community. <strong>OSC</strong>s play a vital role in planning and using<br />
alternative countermeasures (ACMs) through participation in Regional Response Teams (RRT) and as<br />
responders to inland spills. RRT representatives may be called on more often to concur with ISB,<br />
chemical, and biological countermeasures for marine and inland spills. The use of these methods, such as<br />
ISB, dispersants, surface washing agents, chemical sorbents, and other technologies, has sparked<br />
controversy and confusion in all of EPA’s regional offices and areas. Research about these tools has<br />
helped resolve issues about toxicity, efficacy, and proper use of these tools, but conflicts and questions<br />
about their use still exist.<br />
RRTs have been tasked with designating pre-approved or expedited ACM application zones for ISB and<br />
dispersants. Other federal agencies, industry representatives, and product manufacturers continue to<br />
expand the application of dispersant use. RRTs are re-evaluating their regions’ pre-approval areas along<br />
with these efforts.<br />
<strong>OSC</strong>s, area planners, and RRT representatives were presented case studies and provided updates on the<br />
efforts of RRTs to expand the knowledge of <strong>OSC</strong>s beyond what is on the National Oil and Hazardous<br />
Substances Pollution Contingency Plan Product Schedule. Efforts are under way to document how to use<br />
the products more appropriately. Participants were updated on ongoing research by EPA’s ORD to<br />
support NCP Subpart J rulemaking efforts, including the new wave tank for dispersant testing.<br />
Bioremediation success at oil spill sites in EPA Region 3 was profiled, the use of surface washing agents<br />
in EPA Regions 1 and 5 was reviewed, and some dispersants were discussed. Instructors also provided an<br />
update on the ACM research EPA has conducted and EPA’s plans for the future. All participants were<br />
encouraged to discuss their use of ACMs and lessons learned.<br />
This course was recommended for new <strong>OSC</strong>s and RSC staff.<br />

Comments on course relevance to job responsibilities<br />
• Very valuable.<br />
• We have had a number of vapor intrusion sites lately, so I imagine this will be quite germane in<br />
the near future.<br />
• Not a practical approach for <strong>OSC</strong>s. Research is interesting, but creates more questions than<br />
answers.<br />
Comments on course content<br />
• Very good technical level.<br />
• Too many technical notes in the presentation.<br />
• Would have liked to have seen more in-depth and recent case studies. (Seven responses)<br />
• Use a case study to show how vapor intrusion above screening levels can qualify as a removal<br />
action. Showing the steps, including assessment, analyzing the data and mitigation.<br />
• Including community relations aspects would have been a worthwhile and relevant addition.<br />
• Cover the full range of indoor air intrusion and sampling issues.<br />
• Course would have benefited from a toxicologist or risk manager to weigh in on frequently asked<br />
questions about how to interpret the data.<br />
• The utility of soil gas as a screening tool should be emphasized.<br />

C-17 Comments about Individual Training Courses
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• Decent balance of lecture, case studies, and exercises.<br />
• Use more removal case studies earlier in the training.<br />
• Too much information to digest in 4 hours and too much lecture. (Three responses)<br />
• Pace could have been increased a little bit as we ran behind.<br />
• Although presentations had good information, they were very dry and slow. (Two responses)<br />
• Too many visual aides and graphs to digest at the pace of the lecture.<br />
• Charts and graphs in handouts need improvement: larger print and colors that match the<br />

• Hand out EPA Guidance (when final) and the Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council<br />
guidance (on disc).<br />
Comments on course name and abstract expectations<br />
• Yes, for someone with no background in soil vapor sampling.<br />
Comments on recommending course to colleagues<br />
• Yes, but there should be more emphasis on guidance and recommendations, less on temporal<br />
variability.<br />
• Would recommend as more of an update.<br />
Attendee’s suggestions for future course offerings<br />
• Topics to shorten:<br />

This course was designed for <strong>OSC</strong>s to prepare them for their potential role in the Disposal Unit per the<br />
NRP should a large outbreak of avian influenza occur or in the event of a flu pandemic. The official<br />
USDA guidance on preparedness and response for avian influenza, including a document from the OSHA<br />
that USDA relies on for choosing PPE, was presented. USDA also discussed in detail the available<br />
means of carcass disposal and their advantages and disadvantages. EPA’s role in avian influenza<br />
incidents, environmental persistence, and methods of decontamination were reviewed, and an overview<br />
on pandemic flu was provided. The course also reviewed the Department of Health and Human Services<br />
guidance on worker health and safety in the event of a flu pandemic. Finally, <strong>OSC</strong>s had the opportunity<br />
to ask questions pertinent to these responses to authorities from these lead agencies in addition to a<br />
subject matter expert from EPA.<br />

Best Management Practices for Efficient Sampling Design<br />
Instructors: Ted Bazenas, EPA Region 1<br />
Deana Crumbling, EPA Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation<br />
(OSRTI)<br />
Steven Faryan, EPA Region 5<br />
Robert Johnson, Argonne National Laboratory<br />
Jim Mack, Tetra Tech<br />
Kevin Turner, EPA Region 5<br />
This course discussed the difficulty of generating data from heterogeneous environmental media, and how<br />
newer, best practices can perform better than older strategies. Data sets from actual sites were used to<br />
illustrate the problems of older practices, such as:<br />
• Contaminant heterogeneity easily degrades data quality if countermeasures are not taken.<br />
• Variability in contaminant concentrations can produce misleading data and faulty decisions.<br />
• The nature of environmental contamination conflicts with many statistical assumptions, so<br />
statistics may give misleading information.<br />
• When the project calls for the use of statistics, non-traditional types (especially spatially based<br />
statistical models such as geostatistics) usually work better than traditional statistics.<br />
Statistical sampling strategies were discussed at a conceptual level without the usual pain of statistics<br />
instruction. The goal was for participants to understand the assumptions that underlie statistical models.<br />
Tools that support cost-effective sampling designs were reviewed:<br />
• Conceptual site models (CSM), which are the decision maker’s mental picture of how<br />
contamination originated, where it is going, how evenly it is distributed, who might be exposed,<br />
and what might be done about it. Each of these components of the CSM is important to proper<br />
sampling designs and statistics, when statistics are used.<br />
• Affordable high-density sampling and analytic tools, such as direct-push sensors, and how to<br />
exploit them to get maximum benefit.<br />
• Data management and mapping tools for processing data in real time to support a real-time<br />
adaptive field strategy.<br />
The course provided an overview of the Triad framework for applying these tools and techniques to<br />
complete projects more rapidly, at less cost, and with “bullet-proof” evidence of success. <strong>OSC</strong>s already<br />
use many aspects of Triad. The Triad framework provides structure to the thought process of applying<br />
best practices for maximizing project success. The Triad approach:<br />
• Is a tested and proven package of best practices that saves resources while ensuring high-quality<br />
projects.<br />
• Is a graded approach tailored to project-specific needs.<br />
• Relies on the tools and strategies listed above.<br />
• Emphasizes iterative testing and refinement of the CSM in real time to the extent possible.<br />
• Uses the CSM as the technical basis for selecting and applying statistics.<br />
• Uses the concept of “collaborative data sets” to qualitatively and quantitatively use field- and<br />
fixed-laboratory data together to improve data quality and reliability.<br />
Case studies were presented by <strong>OSC</strong>s who have used the Triad approach at a site in EPA Region 5, and<br />
handouts were provided.<br />

Summarized below are the written comments provided on the evaluation forms. Similar observations<br />
have been combined and paraphrased.<br />
Comments on course relevance to job responsibilities<br />
• I do a lot of field sampling and the material will certainly help with my job. (Two responses)<br />
• I found the final presentation on more efficient data collection design to be very informative and<br />
expect it to help me to do a better job.<br />
• More applicable to remediations and long-term removal actions than emergencies.<br />
Comments on course content<br />
• Case studies were valuable. (Two responses)<br />
• Course would benefit from more case studies and removal driven talks.<br />
• Course was over analytical and needs more practical application.<br />
• Course was too heavy on statistics. (Three responses)<br />
• Good course for preliminary assessment/site inspection, remedial investigation/feasibility study,<br />
but not for the <strong>OSC</strong>.<br />
• Information should be more practical and applicable to field sampling used by <strong>OSC</strong>s. (Two<br />
responses)<br />
Comments on instructional methods and materials<br />
• Pace was good. Outlines and wrap-up are always a great strategy.<br />
• Cut down on number of slides.<br />
• Too much information for amount of class time. (Four responses)<br />
• Handouts were unorganized, did not follow the presentations, and some slides were missing.<br />
(Seventeen responses)<br />
• Presentation was unorganized and difficult to follow. (Four responses)<br />
• Phone lecture was difficult to hear and understand. (Four responses)<br />
• Course was heavy on lecture. More teaching methods need to be employed. (Two responses)<br />

Beyond Hydro-Seeding: Ecological Restoration for Your Site<br />
Instructors: Sally Brown, University of Washington<br />
Harry Compton, EPA ERT<br />
Steven Handel, Green Shield Ecology, Inc.<br />
Paul Peronard, EPA Region 8<br />
Ellen Rubin, EPA OSRTI<br />
This course provided information that encourages <strong>OSC</strong>s to consider restoration options early in planning<br />
removal actions to enhance the ecological structure and services of the site. <strong>OSC</strong>s have compelling<br />
reasons to consider the ecological value of sites to support EPA’s initiatives for revitalization and<br />
beneficial reuse; moreover, ecological considerations could also help <strong>OSC</strong>s incorporate reasonable and<br />
realistic activities into site work that would not adversely affect the budget. Rather than thinking only<br />
about how the site would look after the “heavy lifting,” <strong>OSC</strong>s could start early to promote ecological<br />
restoration. The <strong>OSC</strong> could leave a natural legacy, and the local community will be thankful. Students<br />
learned more than the importance of hydro-seeding. They learned the importance of native plants and<br />
habitats, management of invasive species, and the executive orders that promote this approach. A case<br />
study of a large ecological restoration on a remediated site in southern California was cited to illustrate<br />
opportunities to restore the American landscape as part of EPA’s mission.<br />
This course was recommended for new <strong>OSC</strong>s and RSC staff.<br />

• There was a good balance of material.<br />
• Materials are helpful for many positions related to ecological restoration. (Three responses)<br />
• Good information and good examples in a short amount of time.<br />
• This class was informative and enjoyable. Steve Handel was the best part of this class; he<br />
reminded me why I want to do this work. He is a valuable instructor, use him again.<br />
• Dr. Handel — exceptional presentation and delivery.<br />
• Great idea to have the mixing of soil as a demo — good break from presentation.<br />
• Handouts were too dark and photos did not copy well. (Two responses)<br />
Comments on course name and abstract expectations<br />
• Class was much better than advertised.<br />
• The course exceeded my expectations.<br />
• It did not lead me to know that there would be the hands-on demonstration of soils; ‘Beyond<br />
Hydro-seeding’ just sounds boring.<br />
Comments on recommending course to colleagues<br />
• Should be part of all <strong>OSC</strong> training.<br />
• Everyone should take this course.<br />
• This session was informative and inspiring.<br />
• I would recommend it, but feel this topic is more appropriate for RPMs than <strong>OSC</strong>s.<br />
Attendee’s suggestions for future course offerings<br />
• More time for this course would have been good. An advanced, follow-up course would be<br />
useful with protocols, or a technical course.<br />
• Topics to add:<br />
- Additional techniques available<br />
- Another case study<br />

Fred Stroud, EPA ERT<br />
This course prepared <strong>OSC</strong>s for response to incidents that involve biothreat agents such as anthrax, ricin,<br />
botulism, plague, and others. The discussions included the <strong>OSC</strong>’s need to be familiar with emerging<br />
infectious diseases such as avian flu and methicillin-resistant Staph. aureus. To accomplish the objectives<br />
of this session, the following aspects of a bioagent response were discussed, in addition to the <strong>OSC</strong>’s role<br />
in bioagent response under the NRP:<br />
• Overview of bioagent fundamentals.<br />
• Overview of sampling, analytical, and laboratory approaches.<br />
• Interpretation of results: for example, environmental sample results related to health risks.<br />
• Health and safety concerns, including PPE.<br />
• Agent-specific options for decontamination, disinfection, and disposal.<br />
• Existing resources and documents and those in development to assist the <strong>OSC</strong>.<br />

This course focused on technical hydrogeologic issues that <strong>OSC</strong>s may have to address when they assess<br />
and address oil and hazardous material releases to the subsurface. The course provided information on<br />
the basics of ground water flow and contaminant transport, subsurface investigation methods, nonaqueous<br />
phase liquids, and vapor intrusion. By taking the course, participants achieved the following<br />
objectives:<br />
• Reviewed the fundamentals of hydrogeology.<br />
• Explored the fundamental concepts of ground water flow and contaminant fate and transport.<br />
• Discussed surface water and ground water interactions.<br />
• Discussed innovative field techniques, including direct-push technology, geophysical methods,<br />
soil gas sampling, soil and hard rock coring techniques, and investigative approaches to<br />
evaluating discrete zone bedrock contamination.<br />
• Discussed the possibility of preferential flow of contaminants in the subsurface.<br />
• Discussed the interaction between subsurface contamination and indoor air vapor intrusion.<br />
• Discussed source removal, product recovery, de-watering, and ground water treatment<br />
techniques.<br />
• Gained insight from presentations of case histories of sites that illustrate innovative subsurface<br />
investigation techniques and removal alternatives.<br />
The instructional methodology for this course included lecture, case histories, and open discussions. The<br />
target audience for this course was for <strong>OSC</strong>s interested in reviewing the basics of hydrogeology, field<br />
investigation, and removal options for subsurface contamination.<br />

Carl Lautenberger, EPA Region 10<br />
John Martin, EPA Region 6<br />
Janis Thompson, EPA Region 7<br />
Michael Towle, EPA Region 3<br />
This course provided an opportunity for <strong>OSC</strong>s and RSC members to share information and learn how the<br />
ICS has been applied in EPA-specific situations. The course was taught by <strong>OSC</strong>s and RSC members<br />
using case studies to illustrate how ICS has been used; what worked and what did not work; and to<br />
recommend future actions. The case studies included an EPA removal action, a RSC deployment, and an<br />
emergency response with responsible party involvement. Through a panel and question-and-answer<br />
session, the course provided an opportunity to share information and “ground-truth” the system as EPA<br />
continues to develop the Agency’s ICS implementation policies and plans. The course included an<br />
exercise that enabled the students to practice ICS in an unfolding emergency scenario. The target<br />
audience for this course was: (1) <strong>OSC</strong>s who have completed the advanced ICS 300 and 400 level<br />
courses, and (2) RSCs.<br />
This course was recommended for RSC staff.<br />

Comments on course relevance to job responsibilities<br />
• Great course for <strong>OSC</strong>s and RSCs.<br />
• This course is very relevant to the emergency response community both inside and outside of the<br />
Agency.<br />
• A good fit for a person who works at Headquarters and does not work sites regularly and only<br />
works on policy coordination with ICS in mind.<br />
• I now have a better understanding of what <strong>OSC</strong>s do.<br />
• Tailored toward RSC due to class participants, but very good overview of ICS.<br />
• As an RSC member this is relevant, as an EPA employee it is not.<br />
Comments on course content<br />
• Good information.<br />
• Excellent start to getting RSCs more involved and supported.<br />
• Scenario was very informative. (Two responses)<br />
• It was great to see different ideas on how to implement ICS for different removal scenarios.<br />
• Put additional case studies on the <strong>OSC</strong> Web site for access.<br />
• Need an upfront overview of the directive to bring ICS into the removal process.<br />
• Make sure to give a brief explanation of what ICS is and how it works. Do not assume everyone<br />
knows.<br />
• Please add more examples of ICS to answer what worked, what did not, and lessons learned.<br />
C-39 Comments about Individual Training Courses
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• There should be discussion for RSC members about how to get the resources we need for<br />
deployment if we are not personnel assigned them (e.g., computers, cell phones, global<br />
positioning system (GPS) units, etc.).<br />
• Suggest going over the Incident Action Plan examples in a little bit more detail — especially<br />
form ICS 215.<br />
• Would like more examples of how ICS is set up from very small to a very large response.<br />
• I would like job aides discussed, especially “Go Kits.”<br />
Comments on instructional methods and materials<br />
• It was good to have several presenters – gave a good balance of perspectives and experience.<br />
• Mike Towle was a great facilitator of a great depth of knowledge.<br />
• It was smart to limit PowerPoints to 20 minute stints.<br />
• Forms and maps were good.<br />
• Examples of Incident Action Plans can be referenced in the future.<br />
• The exercise was very cool — we had a good time and it livened up the afternoon.<br />
• It was helpful during the group exercise to have an experienced <strong>OSC</strong> at our table to help answer<br />
our questions.<br />
• Handouts of the narrative would have been very useful to take away.<br />
• It would be nice to have an actual <strong>OSC</strong> assisting in the exercise. (Three responses)<br />
• Groups that work together on exercise should be of mixed levels and experiences.<br />
• Consider bringing in other agency representatives to share in the instructor roles and help instruct<br />
from an “all hazards” approach.<br />
• Next time — bring in others (besides <strong>OSC</strong>) on how they implement/participate in ICS, and how<br />
they use ICS 201, etc. to do their job (e.g., logistics/finance).<br />
• Some of the slides and handouts are too small to read easily and effectively.<br />
• Provide CD or link to forms used in ICS. An Incident Action Plan template that is fill-able would<br />
also be useful.<br />
Comments on course name and abstract expectations<br />
• Perfect fit for the materials presented.<br />
• ICS seems more practical to implement in some areas with EPA than others on a daily basis.<br />
Comments on recommending course to colleagues<br />
• A good course for entry level <strong>OSC</strong> or RSC not familiar with ICS. (Five responses)<br />
• Re-evaluate appropriateness for RSC.<br />
• Yes, to keep the Agency’s ICS/(NIMS implementation going. We cannot be at 100 percent yet.<br />
• All RSC should take this course to understand the field applicability of ICS.<br />

This course provided <strong>OSC</strong>s the ability to plan for disposal of residues produced during restoration<br />
operations. During the course, participants evaluated cost tradeoffs between decontamination and<br />
disposal early in the process of restoring a contaminated facility. This information could be incorporated<br />
into the detailed waste profiles needed to negotiate contracts with disposal facilities and transportation<br />
companies and could be used to develop disposal plans.<br />
Topics covered in the course included:<br />
• Vital decision making related to treatment or disposal options.<br />
• How decontamination decisions impact disposal options, and vice-versa.<br />
• Regulatory framework for disposal decisions.<br />
• The role of the <strong>OSC</strong> in animal carcass disposal.<br />
• Disposal stakeholders and their roles.<br />
• Selection of the appropriate disposal facility.<br />
• Packaging and storing of residues.<br />
• Transport of materials to the disposal site.<br />
• Worker safety.<br />
• Risk communication and disposal.<br />
• Online Disposal Decision Support Tool.<br />
Along with instruction, the course included a panel discussion to explore the recent New York City<br />
anthrax contamination event. The panel focused on the issues related to decontamination and disposal<br />
and on the disposal decision making process.<br />
Additionally, participants received a course book to assist in disposal of residues from cleanup of<br />
contaminated buildings, water systems, and agricultural incidents (such as carcass disposal). The course<br />
book and other tools provided the information needed to select an appropriate disposal facility, including<br />
regulatory requirements, facility contact, and permit information.<br />

ESF-10 — From No Mission to Mission<br />
Instructor: Stephen Mason, EPA Region 6<br />
This course was designed for <strong>OSC</strong>s who are not experienced in working under the Stafford Act process,<br />
or who still have questions about the process. The Road to Mission Assignments is paved with good<br />
intentions, but you cannot spend what you do not have. Never has this been truer than when dealing with<br />
disasters, Stafford Act funding, and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) operations.<br />
By taking the course, participants gained insights into the following:<br />
• The Mission Assignment process.<br />
• A presidential declaration after a disaster occurs.<br />
• Activation of ESF-10.<br />
• Action Request Forms, Mission Assignments, task orders, and closeouts.<br />
Through presentations and question and answer sessions, <strong>OSC</strong>s and other attendees gained additional<br />
knowledge to assist in work during a disaster.<br />
We learned that <strong>OSC</strong>s who responded to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita were better prepared to do their jobs<br />
when they understood the basics of the funding process.<br />

This half-day training course focused on the technical and regulatory issues regarding documentation by<br />
<strong>OSC</strong>s during emergency responses and incidents of national significance. The training addressed the<br />
following topics:<br />
• Regulatory requirements: ensuring compliance with the NCP and other relevant, response-related<br />
regulations.<br />
• Enforcement-appropriate documentation: ensuring that documentation supports any subsequent<br />
enforcement actions related to specific response actions.<br />
• Required emergency response documentation: information and instruction on the information<br />
that must be documented, and exposure to different methods for properly documenting response<br />
actions.<br />
• ICS — Required Documentation: differences between documentation during an INS and<br />
documentation during an emergency response.<br />
Specific instruction on the documentation required of <strong>OSC</strong>s during a national incident was emphasized.<br />
The training examined the flow of data within the Incident Command Structure and the importance of<br />
proper documentation in producing an accurate and useable Incident Action Plan.<br />
The training included lecture and incorporated case studies to enhance the information presented. The<br />
target audience for this course was <strong>OSC</strong>s who needed a refresher in documentation or who were<br />
interested in obtaining information about documentation during large-scale responses.<br />
This course was recommended for new <strong>OSC</strong>s and RSC staff.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
Comments on course content<br />
• Great link to real events.<br />
• Great case studies. (Two responses)<br />
• Application and how the forms come into play was the most useful.<br />
• Really liked the explosion/ink site as case study. It helped to illustrate documentation at a real<br />
incident. (Two responses)<br />
• Very good orientation on the type and importance of documentation.<br />
• Examples of real removals were helpful.<br />
• Examples are great; a flowchart/chronology of the Danvers response would be an interesting<br />
addition.<br />
• Under “why is documentation important,” insert a slide on what drives documentation for FEMAlead<br />
NRP responses.<br />
• It may be helpful and interesting to hear from an attorney about cost recovery documentation<br />
issues.<br />
Comments on instructional methods and materials<br />
• Great course. (Two responses)<br />
• Presenters made the topic interesting by incorporating “real life” scenarios.<br />
• Good audience participation – instructors engaged group. (Two responses)<br />
• Good format allowing questions/discussion during the presentation.<br />
• It was a good review to run through each of the different forms.<br />
• Copies of the forms on the wall were a good idea.<br />
• Need more hands-on activities.<br />
• The handout slides did not match the presentation slides, they were hard to read and they had too<br />
much detail. (Four responses)<br />
• Handouts should include examples of all the types of documents mentioned for removal actions.<br />
• Discussions sometimes strayed away from documentation discussions into other areas. (Two<br />
responses)<br />
• Add full-sized Incident Action Plan to class handouts — slides are too hard to read in book.<br />
• Pace was varied. There was not enough time for Ms. Young to cover ICS Documents/Forms.<br />
Comments on recommending course to colleagues<br />
• Would recommend for RSCs, but not for <strong>OSC</strong>s.<br />
• Would recommend especially for new <strong>OSC</strong>s.<br />
• Senior directors should “encourage” <strong>OSC</strong> attendance as primary technical response group kickoff.<br />

This new 4-hour analogical, role-playing course focused on contract and site management. During the<br />
course, participants were assigned to play various roles on teams to fulfill team and individual goals. The<br />
roles played by the participants bear remarkable similarities to those found on a typical site, such as<br />
<strong>OSC</strong>s, the START members, the ERRS response managers, and others. Although some good-natured<br />
competition among the teams occurred, the objective of the exercise was to reach the goal within the time<br />
frame of the course. The students carefully went through the process of gaining approval (the Action<br />
Memorandum), tasking the contractor, providing oversight and approving work, documenting costs,<br />
addressing applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements, and more — with all these steps assessed<br />
from the perspectives of different roles and goals.<br />
Participants of this course who were warranted <strong>OSC</strong>s and CO’s Technical Representatives received 4<br />
hours of training toward the contract training requirements of the Clinger-Cohen Act (Maloney Bill).<br />

This course provided participants an advanced level of knowledge on biological agents, particularly<br />
agents likely to be encountered in a biological terrorism incident. This course also provided participants<br />
with an understanding of historical and emerging threats posed by biological agents. Speakers conducted<br />
lectures and discussions about the history and current risks posed by biological agents, as well as<br />
development and use of biological agents as weapons. The course focused on agents most likely to be<br />
used in an act of bioterrorism. A broad overview of plant, animal, and human pathogens was provided,<br />
and case studies were used to illustrate how an outbreak can begin and progress, and how to manage the<br />
outbreak. Participants accomplished the following:<br />
• Became familiar with historical efforts to develop plant, animal, and human pathogens as<br />
biological weapons. The instructors shared more than 150 years of collective experience in<br />
biological study, research, and application.<br />
• Learned about the current threat posed to the U.S. population and agriculture by natural- and<br />
anthropogenic-derived outbreaks. The risk and consequence posed by pathogens current on the<br />
global scene were examined.<br />
• Learned strategies to safely and effectively respond to pathogenic outbreaks. The course<br />
provided opportunities to evaluate various response approaches through case studies.<br />

Ann Whelan, EPA Region 5<br />
This new 4-hour advanced course introduced the scientific approach to inland ISB of oil spills. As an<br />
alternative countermeasure for oil spill response, ISB is not the answer for all inland oil spills. This<br />
course provided <strong>OSC</strong>s valuable resources that highlight educated decision making for IBS.<br />
Topics in the course included:<br />
• Oil burning characteristics.<br />
• Favorable and unfavorable conditions to conduct ISB.<br />
• Air quality and air monitoring issues.<br />
• Area planning and ISB.<br />
• Relationships of RRT and ISB.<br />
• ICS and ISB.<br />
• Relationships with local fire chiefs, U.S. Forest Service, and Fire Service.<br />
• Communication chain, public relations, and public education.<br />
Featured case studies included a post-Katrina in situ burn in an intermediate marsh in Empire, Louisiana;<br />
an in situ burn in Cohasset, Minnesota; and remotely operated vehicle video footage of a water column<br />
during an oil test burn off the coast of Newfoundland.<br />

Comments on course relevance to job responsibilities<br />
• I have not yet encountered a spill where this tool would be appropriate, but I could in future.<br />
(Two responses)<br />
• We oversee oil cleanups so the course is very relevant to my job.<br />
• Our region has a burn every few years so the course is relevant to my job.<br />
Comments on course content<br />
• Excellent course.<br />
• Past and current event use was very effective.<br />
• Case studies were good but most focused on the coastal zone.<br />
• There is a good mix of science, policy, methods, case studies, and multi-media.<br />
• Course was ok.<br />
• Material was dated. (Three responses)<br />
• More emphasis on emergency response methods and less information on pre-planning.<br />
Comments on instructional methods and materials<br />
• Speakers have a lot of experience in their topic area.<br />
• Great job putting everything together.<br />
• Presenting the reference material in CD form is very helpful.<br />
• Balance was ok.<br />
• Switch order of presentations to have policy issues first, then modeling.<br />
• I suggest breaking the course into two main sections: inland/ocean spills.<br />
• Break the course up into modules. (Two responses)<br />
• More hands-on exercises would be good.<br />
• An agenda and materials relevant to the discussion would help the afternoon session.<br />
• Material could be tabbed/organized better.<br />
• Include Web site addresses in PowerPoint presentation.<br />
• Print out the PowerPoint slides as a handout for participants to take notes on. (Two responses)<br />
• Not sure all the PowerPoint slides are on the CD, such as the speakers’ presentation material.<br />
(Two responses)<br />
• Ask instructors to combine their presentation into one PowerPoint and avoid switching between<br />
many different PowerPoint presentations. (Two responses)<br />
• Too many slides of graphs and the numbers are too specific to a single site.<br />
• Handouts were not used during the class. (Four responses)<br />
• Reference material is good.<br />
• Add the EPA/RRT guidance on IBS for a reference.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• Need an additional break. (Two responses)<br />
• Might want to include a U.S. Department of the Interior representative next time.<br />
• The volume of material is high and the pace was rapid to fit in all four presentations.<br />
• While the course was informative, I think it should be a Hot Site, not a class, because the<br />
information does not lend itself to be presented in an instructive manner.<br />
Comments on course name and abstract expectations<br />
• I do not believe course met the designation of “advanced course,” as stated on abstract.<br />
• I expected more information on the planning activities with scenarios exercises.<br />
• I thought there would be more information about the operations setup, permitting, and local<br />
coordination of resources and less discussion about modeling.<br />
• The course was more complex than the abstract suggested and more interesting.<br />
• Abstract covered the course topics.<br />
• The course barely matched the abstract.<br />
Comments on recommending course to colleagues<br />
• I would recommend it to my co-workers because the course has informational value, a<br />
management perspective and technical aspects that can be put to use.<br />
• The course highlights many great points necessary in evaluating whether or not to burn.<br />
• I believe many <strong>OSC</strong>s do not know much about In-Situ Burning as a response tool and this course<br />
is a good way for them to learn about this option. (Two responses)<br />
• I suggest getting the latest information about this issue from Al Allen, Merv Fingas, and Kevin<br />
McGratten (NIST). I would also survey RRT for the most advanced ISB guidelines.<br />
• We oversee oil cleanups and others who work with me could benefit from the course.<br />
Attendee’s suggestions for future course offerings<br />
• Please present a course on inland chemical agents.<br />
• Topics to shorten:<br />
- Section on modeling (Two responses)<br />
- The discussion of off-shore spill management<br />
• Topics to lengthen:<br />
- Discussion of the dos and don’ts of burning and how and when to get approval (Four<br />
responses)<br />
- Information on the operational setup for burning<br />
- Oil or emergency responses from the experts<br />
- Discussion on the decision making process and pros and cons of a particular decision (Two<br />
responses)<br />
- Basic planning information and exercises (Three responses)<br />

Inspection and Integrity Testing of Tanks and Piping<br />
Instructors: Gary Boley, InterSpec, LLC<br />
Mark Howard, EPA OEM<br />
This course was geared toward personnel conducting SPCC and Facility Response Plan inspections. The<br />
course also was of use to <strong>OSC</strong>s who conduct site work associated with the petroleum sectors (upstream<br />
and downstream). By taking this course, participants achieved the following objectives:<br />
• Obtained a summary of tank types, components, and associated construction standards.<br />
• Obtained an overview of the applicable industry standards for inspection and testing of<br />
aboveground, shop-built, and field-erected tanks (including API 653, API RP 12 R1, and STI<br />
SP001); and piping (aboveground and buried). Inspection and testing of buried and partially<br />
buried tanks are discussed, as well as corrosion issues.<br />
• Gained an understanding of additional concepts such as “hybrid” testing methodologies, tank<br />
baselining, and re-rating of tank capacity.<br />
• Explored specific items for which SPCC inspectors should look for during an SPCC inspection to<br />
evaluate whether a facility meets inspection and integrity testing requirements — for example,<br />
correct documentation and record keeping plus verification of up-to-date inspections according to<br />
a regular schedule as described in the SPCC plan.<br />
The course was taught by a certified tank inspector. The course was recommended for <strong>OSC</strong>s or any<br />
person who conducts SPCC inspections or for <strong>OSC</strong>s involved with response actions associated with the<br />
petroleum sector.<br />

Comments on course relevance to job responsibilities<br />
• This course did not specifically relate to my current job but gave me a better understanding of the<br />
start to finish process of tank removal.<br />
• Generally most <strong>OSC</strong>s do not perform SPCC inspections, but they may get involved with them on<br />
occasion. That was my main reason for taking this class. (Two responses)<br />
Comments on course content<br />
• Great course!<br />
• Good overview of information. (Three responses)<br />
• Maybe have an <strong>OSC</strong> provide a case example or explain how he/she gets involved in this work.<br />
• Course was heavily geared to the type of inspection unlikely to be conducted by an <strong>OSC</strong> with<br />
limited SPCC involvement. (Two responses)<br />
• Consider looking at actual inspection reports to find issues we would want to follow up on as<br />
EPA inspectors. (Two responses)<br />
• It would be interesting if a mini tank could be brought in and a mock inspection completed.<br />
• This material was presented at a more advanced level than I expected. (Three responses)<br />
• Include more case studies. (Six responses)<br />
• Too many numeric standard references.<br />
• The information presented was too EPA specific. (Two responses)<br />
C-70 Comments about Individual Training Courses
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• I became lost in the multiple standards, checklists, etc.<br />
• Could not figure out what types of tanks need to be and are required to be inspected for American<br />
Petroleum Institute (API) 653.<br />
• Too much information was presented on tanks, especially the different types of tanks and the<br />
frequency of tank inspections. (Seven responses)<br />
Comments on instructional methods and materials<br />
• The presenter is very knowledgeable.<br />
• Training assistant was outstanding!<br />
• The presenters seemed to have a good balance of materials.<br />
• Supplemental notes on the bottom of the page were helpful. (Two responses)<br />
• The handouts seem very helpful.<br />
• Include more visual information for scenarios. (Two responses)<br />
• Many of the slides repeated the same information.<br />
• Many of the slides did not relate to the course.<br />

• Too much information for a half-day training course. (Three responses)<br />
• Make the course a full day with an afternoon field component looking at tanks, bulk oil facility or<br />
refinery.<br />
• The “What to look for” section will be very helpful in deciphering integrity/inspection reports.<br />
• Unfortunately, the material will not be a great reference because the tank inspection standards<br />
differ greatly between the EPA and USCG.<br />
• Mark could be more involved to make things more relevant to <strong>OSC</strong> and SPCC work.<br />
Comments on course name and abstract expectations<br />

• I would recommend this course to special inspectors and employees with SPCC involvement.<br />
(Two responses)<br />
C-71 Comments about Individual Training Courses
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />

C-74 Comments about Individual Training Courses
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• Be careful about suggesting that the regions are in violation of the law or NCP.<br />
• The permit issue needs to be flushed out more.<br />
• Case study examples could have been used to answer the question and answer session questions.<br />
• Answers at the end should not have been provided immediately in order to initiate discussion.<br />
• Add a section that clarifies what authorities an <strong>OSC</strong> responds under, the NCP or Stafford Act, and<br />
if the authority makes a difference. This topic has created many questions and has not been<br />
resolved.<br />

and Liability Act (CERCLA) 128b and a few other documents. (Two responses)<br />
• Too much material for the time allotted.<br />
• Do not let discussion sessions go too long.<br />
• Rushed thru the slides and then dragged on during the question and answer exercise, consider<br />
restructuring the question and answer session. (Three responses)<br />
• End was too fast.<br />
• Good end time. (Two responses)<br />
• Course should be a full day. (Two responses)<br />
Comments on course name and abstract expectations<br />
• Name was very clear. (Two responses)<br />
• The class was more interesting than it sounded from the description. (Two responses)<br />

This 4-hour course provided <strong>OSC</strong>s with guidance to use when dealing with issues associated with<br />
regulations, response, monitoring, health concerns, toxicology, and cleanup pertinent to sites<br />
contaminated with mercury. The workshop focused primarily on complex residential contamination sites.<br />
Participants received a detailed guidebook and checklist that will assist them through all phases of<br />
cleanup at a residential site contaminated with mercury, from initial notification through final restoration.<br />
A number of case studies and multi-media demonstrations that documented the complexities of issues<br />
associated with mercury cleanups were presented, as well as the difficulties <strong>OSC</strong>s have encountered and<br />
the successes they have achieved. Additionally, the course offered guidance and an example on how to<br />
craft a mercury outreach program to better educate responders, health professionals, and the public.<br />

New and Improved . . . the 2006 SPCC Rule Amendments<br />
Instructors: Patricia Fleming, EPA OEM<br />
Mark Howard, EPA OEM<br />
This course was geared to personnel conducting SPCC inspections or providing outreach related to the<br />
SPCC rule. The SPCC rule (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Part 112) has been a controversial<br />
regulation, the focus of significant public comment, and the subject of major litigation. EPA has recently<br />
amended the SPCC requirements in several areas; these amendments will dramatically alter both the type<br />
and content of plans developed in accordance with 40 CFR Part 112 and what <strong>OSC</strong>s will see in the field<br />
during SPCC inspections. By taking this course, participants achieved the following objectives:<br />
• Obtained a brief introduction to the SPCC rule, including a tour of its 30-plus year history,<br />
leading up to the fall 2006 amendments.<br />
• Learned what provisions were modified or added to the SPCC rule in the 2006 final rule<br />
amendments, and why.<br />
• Enhanced understanding of how these changes may affect the regulated community.<br />
• Better understand the complex implications of compliance date extensions on enforcement.<br />
• Learned what outreach materials are being made available for the regulated community, including<br />
a plan template for qualified facilities.<br />
• Obtained a “sneak preview” of the issues that EPA is considering to address in a future SPCC<br />
rule revision.<br />
The course was taught by technical staff from EPA’s OEM who drafted the final rule action. The<br />
instructional methodology for this course included lecture and case scenarios for group analysis. The<br />
target audience for this course was <strong>OSC</strong>s, SPCC inspectors, and other staff who need to understand the<br />
fall 2006 SPCC rule amendments and how they relate to implementation.<br />

Practical Applications of GPS<br />
Instructors: John Bing-Canar, EPA Region 5<br />
Brian Cooper, EPA Region 5<br />
Patrick Hamblin, EPA Region 5<br />
Charles Roth, EPA Region 5<br />
This course provided <strong>OSC</strong>s practical information about GPS methods and sample design development.<br />
The course included an overview of GPS technology, including expected accuracies and limitations of<br />
various GPS units. GPS units and data collection software currently used by EPA were discussed,<br />
including pocket navigation units, sub-meter accuracy and survey-grade GPS, Trimble Terrasync, and<br />
Field Environmental Decision Support (FIELDS) RAT data recorders. Instructors also reviewed sample<br />
design software (VSP and FIELDS) developed by EPA and provided a methodology for selecting an<br />
appropriate sample design for removal sites and nationally significant incidents. By taking the course,<br />
participants achieved the following objectives:<br />
• Learned the basics of how GPS works to understand the limitations of the technology.<br />
• Were provided with a basic understanding of spatial sample design development.<br />
• Assessed what level of GPS accuracy is needed for GPS applications.<br />
• Gained hands-on experience in acquiring GPS coordinates and integrating locational information<br />
with other data (chemistry, in-field measures, and remote sensing data).<br />
The instructional methodology for this course included lecture, case studies, and group exercises. A<br />
hands-on, in-field practicum was emphasized in this training. The target audience for this course was<br />
<strong>OSC</strong>s and others who plan, direct, or implement in-field sampling.<br />
This course was recommended for RSC staff.<br />

Jon Gulch, EPA Region 5<br />
Michelle Jaster, EPA Region 5<br />
Jack Kelly, EPA Region 3<br />
This new course provided practical information and guidance for effectively overseeing PRP removal<br />
actions under the CERCLA or OPA. Using real-world case studies and <strong>OSC</strong> experiences, participants<br />
examined how to: (1) establish a good foundation for the work to be performed; (2) identify and review<br />
critical elements of PRP work plans; (3) adapt the work to changing field conditions; (4) identify and<br />
address technical and health and safety issues while considering and balancing site- and PRP-specific<br />
factors; (5) tailor the level of on-site oversight activities to PRP track record and experience; (6) establish<br />
communications among the <strong>OSC</strong>, EPA’s oversight contractor, the PRP contractor, and the PRP<br />
representative; and (7) close out the removal action. After taking this course, the participants are able to<br />
identify practical steps they can take to more effectively plan for and oversee PRP-lead removal actions.<br />
This 4-hour workshop was intended for <strong>OSC</strong>s with 1 to 4 years experience and for more experienced<br />
<strong>OSC</strong>s who have not had the opportunity to manage a PRP response.<br />

still handle these sites.<br />
• Excellent for my “toolbox.”<br />

• Great case reviews. (Six responses)<br />
• The balance was good. Cut down on some scenarios.<br />
• I walked away with the idea that we routinely take over PRP actions when things are not going<br />
well. I do not think the EPA budget allows for that. (Two responses)<br />
• It would be more helpful to focus on removals rather than emergency responses. (Two responses)<br />
C-92 Comments about Individual Training Courses
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
• I experienced some confusion differentiating between OPA and CERCLA authorities and<br />
programs. The material seemed to switch back and forth.<br />
• Include a broader range of examples to stimulate discussion.<br />
• Examples of “good” and “poor” case studies are judgmental and this is a situation where an<br />
<strong>OSC</strong>’s preferences could end up highlighting EPA’s arbitrary nature.<br />
• Include more discussion on problem areas associated with PRP change of attitude during<br />
response activities. (Two responses)<br />
• Do not need to describe the type of PRP. The personality of the PRP is irrelevant; <strong>OSC</strong> should<br />
only worry about PRP’s technical and financial viability.<br />
• I think we should go through all of the modules again and identify necessary changes/deletions,<br />
etc.<br />
• Topics to be shortened: case examples, HASP, and modules One, Two and Four.<br />
Comments on instructional methods and materials<br />
• Excellent instructors. (Six responses)<br />
• Knowledge and expertise of instructors was obvious.<br />
• The way information on PRP lead removal actions was spelled out was very helpful.<br />
• Practical exercises are not needed.<br />
• Liked the course notes in the manual. (Four responses)<br />
• The course manual is excellent for reference material. (Five responses)<br />
• Include a slide in Module One that goes into the actual authorities by which the <strong>OSC</strong> can act<br />
under 311c and 106, and the NCP. Perhaps provide the appropriate statute and NCP language<br />
sections as an appendix.<br />
• If manual is meant to be a reference, it needs to be beefed up.<br />
• Hard to find some of the reference materials in the handout. (Two responses)<br />
• Include a list of acronyms with definitions. (Two responses)<br />
• Improve the numbering and organization of the amendments. (Two responses)<br />
• Add slides on what <strong>OSC</strong> files are needed on PRP- versus Fund-lead sites.<br />
• Add a slide about why “Enforcement First” is the policy and link it to CERCLA/OPA citations or<br />
law. (Two responses)<br />
• Add an example of “Work to Be Performed”/Statement of Word (SOW) from an Administrative<br />
Order of Consent (AOC)/Unilateral Administrative Order (UAO).<br />
• Add more on field interactions with the PRP.<br />
• Video of pathway site would have been a good introduction to this case study.<br />
• I like the interaction with the audience. Is there a way to increase this?<br />
• Encourage a broader discussion about Regional differences.<br />
• Too much class discussion. (Two responses)<br />

• Describe as a primer for new <strong>OSC</strong>s and as a refresher for experienced <strong>OSC</strong>s or <strong>OSC</strong>s unfamiliar<br />
with PRP responses.<br />
Comments on recommending course to colleagues<br />
• Course should be mandatory. (Two responses)<br />
• This course should be taken by new <strong>OSC</strong>s and as a refresher for experienced or unfamiliar <strong>OSC</strong>s.<br />
(Five responses)<br />
• It is obvious that the budget is not getting bigger for fund-lead sites, so PRP sites will become<br />
increasingly important (or at least there will be more pressure to find PRPs).<br />
• Due to the course material, it would not suit my colleagues.<br />
• Yes, because it basically gives one insight on how <strong>OSC</strong>s address PRPs.<br />
General Comments<br />
• Add a N/A option to evaluation form for those whose jobs do not apply to this work.<br />
• This would be a great addition to <strong>OSC</strong> 201.<br />
• The “Iron Fist” was excellent.<br />
Attendee’s suggestions for future course offerings<br />
• Topics to lengthen:<br />
- Presentation on safety issues, real versus potential issues that should stop work, and the<br />
authority that identifies the need to stop work (Two responses)<br />
- When EPA should take over work at a site<br />
- Oversight costs<br />
- Headquarter guidance<br />
- Information about field interactions with the PRP<br />
- When an <strong>OSC</strong> should to get help from another <strong>OSC</strong><br />
- The need to work with those who think like you so as to show a uniform approach<br />
• Topics to add:<br />
- More information about a communication plan<br />
- Example of “Work to be Performed”/SOW from an AOC/UAO<br />
- Discussion on community relations<br />
- Information about completing PRP searches during site assessments<br />
- Linking stop work issues to real threat, not potential threat<br />
- Linking “Enforcement First” to CERCLA/OPA citations or law<br />

RadNET Deployables<br />
Instructors: Dan Askren, EPA National Air and Radiation Environmental Laboratory<br />
Michael Messer, EPA ORIA<br />
This basic 4-hour training course focused on the use and requirements for deploying RadNET, a<br />
nationwide environmental radiation monitoring system, during or after a radiological event. RadNET,<br />
previously called Environmental Radiation Ambient Monitoring System, supports the Agency’s role in<br />
assessing the impacts of a radiological incident and focuses on monitoring potential impacts on<br />
populations and public health. “Fixed” stations routinely sample drinking water, precipitation, and milk;<br />
and provide continuous air monitoring. “Deployable” stations may be used after an emergency to<br />
improve air monitoring coverage over large areas.<br />
The hands-on training covered placement, setup, operation, and disassembly of the RadNet Deployable<br />
air monitoring units. Participants received training in the following areas:<br />
• Overview of how and where deployables will be used during an emergency.<br />
• Health and safety considerations for personnel deploying the monitors.<br />

Response Contracts Basics<br />
Instructors: Don Lininger, EPA Region 7<br />
John Phillips, EPA Region 7<br />
This 3.5-hour course was intended for members of the RSC and new <strong>OSC</strong>s who may be mobilized to<br />
support the response to a major incident or an INS. The objective of the course was to provide<br />
participants with basic information about various response contracts and about the capabilities of EPA’s<br />
other response resources, such as the Strike Teams, RRT, and the National Response Team. Participants<br />
in the course reviewed: (1) the capabilities and scopes of work for the response contracts, (2) the various<br />
contractors available in each regional office, (3) how contractor costs are documented, (4) the type of<br />
direction EPA can give the contractors, (5) responsibilities for providing direction to contractors, and (6)<br />
capabilities of EPA’s governmental response resources. After taking this course, the participants were<br />
able to more effectively interact with EPA’s response contractors and response teams when mobilized to a<br />
major incident.<br />
This course was recommended for RSC staff.<br />

Risk and Crisis Communication<br />
Instructors: Vincent Covello, Center for Risk Communication<br />
Joi Ross, APEX Direct, Inc.<br />
This intermediate course was designed primarily for <strong>OSC</strong>s. The course provided a framework and basic<br />
principles for effectively communicating with local residents and other stakeholders during emergency<br />
response and crisis situations. One of the most difficult tasks an <strong>OSC</strong> must undertake is to clearly<br />
communicate the risk associated with a response. An <strong>OSC</strong>’s audience for risk communication varies<br />
from concerned citizens and elected officials to the news media and business entities, and the type of risk<br />
to be communicated varies across the wide spectrum of responses made by <strong>OSC</strong>s.<br />
Through a combination of slide presentations, videos, and class exercises, participants learned the<br />
principles and rationale behind risk communication techniques, and their importance. Participants also<br />
had the opportunity to examine the critical role of key messages and, through interactive examples, and so<br />
learned how to develop key messages for use in a variety of situations.<br />
The course included response scenario exercises and role-plays when <strong>OSC</strong>s applied the principles of risk<br />
and crisis communication to specific situations. Scenarios were developed specifically for this course and<br />
were based on information from actual projects involving situations that <strong>OSC</strong>s encounter regularly.<br />
Through the scenario exercises and role-plays, participants learned how to effectively prepare for public<br />
interactions and avoid miscommunications and pitfalls.<br />

The Rapid Assessment Tools (RAT)<br />
Instructors: John Bing-Canar, EPA Region 5<br />
Abbey Brake, EPA Region 5<br />
Brian Cooper, EPA Region 5<br />
Patrick Hamblin, EPA Region 5<br />
James Mitchell, EPA Region 5<br />
Charles Roth, EPA Region 5<br />
The RAT were developed to aid <strong>OSC</strong>s, RPM, and other support personnel in real-time continuous field<br />
data collection and assessment. The tools have integrated data retrieval, GPS, GIS, mapping, and analysis<br />
through an elementary but powerful and robust interface that requires no post-processing of GPS and GIS<br />
data. All data produced from the system can be exported and used in most other GIS mapping<br />
applications and database packages. All screen outputs can be printed or saved to a standard output file<br />
type. This system is unique because it has been developed in-house by EPA, is stand-alone, and requires<br />
no software licensing or purchasing. RAT also allows for mapping and recording of continuous streams<br />
of external data merged with GPS locations. The data streams are processed internally, saved directly to a<br />
database-compatible format such as SCRIBE, and can be used in many other modeling applications.<br />
RAT was developed for Superfund-contaminated site assessment using spatial data analysis and 2D<br />
visualization. RAT focuses on tools needed for rapid assessment and mapping in the field. More<br />
complex modeling can be achieved and easily exported to another GIS software tool. RAT includes<br />
modules for spatial data retrieval, data collection and storage, sample designs, data contouring, real-time<br />
data visualization, and non-GPS trend monitoring. By taking the course, participants achieved the<br />
following objectives:<br />
• Learned the basics of how RAT has been used at various Superfund removal, remedial, and<br />
emergency response sites.<br />
• Gained hands-on experience using RAT with GPS for:<br />
o Integration of real-time field sampling equipment, including Multi-RAEs, Multi-warns,<br />
Ludlum radiation monitors, Datarams, and X-ray fluorescence.<br />
o Sample design generation and navigation.<br />
o Single point and multiple point data collection.<br />
o Data contouring.<br />
o Data export to SCRIBE and ESRI GIS packages.<br />
• Learned the basics of wireless hardware and software configurations for data sharing, export, and<br />
remote desktop sharing applications.<br />
The instructional methodology for this course included lecture, case studies, and group exercises. A<br />
hands-on, in-field practicum was emphasized in this training. The target audience for this course was<br />
<strong>OSC</strong>s, RPMs, and others who plan, direct, or implement in-field sampling using real-time data collection<br />
sensors.<br />
This course was offered twice and evaluation comments from each course offering are presented<br />
separately.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
Comments on recommending course to colleagues<br />
• All <strong>OSC</strong>s should take this course to give them an understanding of what technology can do for<br />
them.<br />
• RAT on a similar system should be mandatory for all regions for consistency on response.<br />
Attendee’s suggestions for future course offerings<br />
• Develop an exercise based course for outside <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness and take it to the regions. Be sure<br />
to involve START and <strong>OSC</strong>s in the course.<br />

This course focused on identifying tools, expertise, and resources that <strong>OSC</strong>s and RSC personnel can use<br />
during an emergency response to a contamination incident that involves a drinking water system. By<br />
participating in this course, students achieved the following objectives:<br />
• Learned about the mission and organization of EPA’s WSD and points of coordination and<br />
collaboration in planning, preparedness, and response to water contamination incidents.<br />
• Developed awareness of emerging issues for drinking water infrastructure under ESF-3 and<br />
additional information and tools recently developed by WSD (Mutual Aid/WARNs, Water Lab<br />
Alliance, Seattle/King County Community Case Study Pilot).<br />
• Discovered practical approaches and tools for response as outlined in water contamination<br />
response kits assembled by EPA Regions 6 and 10.<br />
• Through case study presentations, gained insights about what to anticipate when responding to a<br />
potential drinking water contamination incident.<br />
• Learned about potential water system vulnerabilities, threat assessment, the Water Contaminant<br />
Information Tool, and how <strong>OSC</strong>s can provide technical assistance at a drinking water<br />
contamination incident.<br />
• Participated in a table-top exercise that allowed <strong>OSC</strong>s and RSC personnel to use what they<br />
learned during the day.<br />
The instructional methodology for this course included lectures, computer presentations, case studies, and<br />
group exercises. The target audience for this course was <strong>OSC</strong>s and RSC personnel of any experience<br />
level.<br />

You Mean There is More than Superfund ... ? Basics of Environmental Statutes<br />
Instructors: Earl Liverman, EPA Region 10<br />
Stephen Mason, EPA Region 6<br />
This course provided a basic history and major provisions of statutes that EPA implements, such as the<br />
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, CERCLA, Emergency Planning and Community<br />
Right-to-Know Act, Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), and Toxic Substances Control Act that are<br />
implemented by EPA. Students were provided with the basics on how statutes and regulations are<br />
developed. The course provided an overview of U.S. environmental regulations that have been created to<br />
control, manage, or modify activities; and the effects of these regulations on the health of human beings<br />
and the natural environment.<br />
Additionally, the course covered the history of environmental laws, the origins of EPA, and the history of<br />
the removal program. This course was of great value to new and more senior <strong>OSC</strong>s who needed to<br />
understand how environmental statutes, regulations, and policies are formulated and implemented.<br />
This course was recommended for RSC staff.<br />

and Tetra Tech.<br />
Recommendations from the RTB............................................................................................................. D-2<br />
Recommendations from Tetra Tech ......................................................................................................... D-4<br />
D-1 Detailed Recommendations
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
Recommendations from the RTB<br />
Recommendations from members of the <strong>OSC</strong> RTB were identified during a “hot wash” session held on<br />
Friday, February 16, <strong>2007</strong>, after the closing plenary session. The session was used to solicit immediate<br />
feedback, impressions, and recommendations. The RTB offered feedback on the success and lessons<br />
learned from the week-long program during the “hot wash” session. The following recommendations<br />
were made during the session:<br />
Comments Related to the Plenary Sessions:<br />
• The members of the RTB understand and recognize the importance of soliciting speakers from<br />
EPA Headquarters to present remarks during the opening plenary session. They recommend<br />
shortening the general opening plenary session on Monday morning to 2 hours and then<br />
scheduling “Hot Site” presentations for the remainder of the morning.<br />
• A suggestion was made to better “brief” plenary speakers about the <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training and<br />
the primary audience.<br />
• A recommendation was made to offer more “Hot Site” presentations on Monday morning.<br />
• All members of the RTB appreciated the presentation by Tom Dunne, Associate Administrator,<br />
EPA Office of Homeland Security.<br />
• Friday’s plenary session received many positive remarks; however, members expressed concern<br />
about the continued low attendance. Members will discuss options during the April <strong>2007</strong> face-toface<br />
meeting.<br />
Comments Related to Training Courses and Instructors:<br />
• When data collected from the course evaluation forms are reviewed, recommend analyzing the<br />
demographic data of the individual course to identify the source of feedback.<br />
• Continue to improve collection of course materials in a timely manner.<br />
• A recommendation was made that all instructors selected understand the role and responsibilities<br />
of <strong>OSC</strong>s to ensure that content delivered applies to an <strong>OSC</strong>’s job.<br />
• A strong recommendation was made to offer two sessions on case studies.<br />
• Members expressed concern about the large course size for some sessions.<br />
• When courses are selected for 2008, need to focus less on emergency response and more on the<br />
“roots” of the removal program.<br />
• A suggestion was made to address <strong>OSC</strong>s’ liabilities either through a course or during a plenary<br />
session.<br />
• Ensure a higher caliber of instructors for the 8-hour courses.<br />
• Members expressed appreciation to the Tetra Tech facilitators provided in each session. All<br />
members noted an improvement from previous years.<br />
General Comments:<br />
• Recommend conducting an orientation conference call for new members of the RTB before the<br />
next face-to-face meeting to be prepared and understand the roles and responsibilities of the RTB.<br />
• The members of the RTB expressed concern about losing the focus and purpose of the <strong>OSC</strong><br />
Readiness Training Program, “training by <strong>OSC</strong>s for <strong>OSC</strong>s.” The RTB understands the<br />
importance of providing training for members of the RSC; however, training courses should be<br />
identified as either for members of the RSC or for <strong>OSC</strong>s. Members explained that it was a<br />
D-2 Detailed Recommendations
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
challenge to develop courses for both audiences; recommend that a track of courses be offered<br />
only for members of the RSC.<br />
• A suggestion was made to send a targeted e-mail to solicit new course ideas for the 2008 <strong>OSC</strong><br />
Readiness Training Program.<br />
• A recommendation was made to set aside time on the agenda for the April face-to-face meeting to<br />
discuss the following issues related to inviting the members of the RSC:<br />
o How many is too many members of the RSC<br />
o Identify expectations of the RSC<br />
• Continue to develop removal manager briefing packages.<br />
D-3 Detailed Recommendations
<strong>2007</strong> <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
Recommendations from Tetra Tech<br />
Tetra Tech developed recommendations for improving the <strong>OSC</strong> Readiness Training Program for 2008<br />
based on observations made during the week and discussions among members of the Tetra Tech team<br />
who supported preparations for the conference and provided on-site support.<br />
Comments about Courses:<br />
• Recommend that the RTB members set guidelines about the number of instructors appropriate for<br />
each training course.<br />
• Adhere to a “drop dead date” for canceling courses if it is determined that progress is not<br />
satisfactory in developing the course or confirming the instructors.<br />
• Consider how to encourage all instructors to bring an adequate number of copies of handout<br />
materials. In many instances, copies of presentations and handout materials were not available to<br />
all participants, and they had to be copied on site.<br />
Comments about On-site Logistics:<br />
• Continue to conduct a “hot wash” session with the RTB members immediately after the end of<br />
the training conference.<br />
• Prepare a “cheat sheet” for each course to be used by instructors or Tetra Tech facilitators to<br />
identify the location of emergency exits and restrooms, confirm the break times, remind<br />
participants to sign the attendance sheet, and complete an evaluation form. These administrative<br />
remarks would also clarify the role of the Tetra Tech facilitator.<br />
• Continue to use ribbons for name tags to identify RTB members, instructors, state and local<br />
agency representatives, and Tetra Tech staff.<br />
Comments about the <strong>OSC</strong> Planning Site:<br />
• Continue to develop one central Instructor Page to post deadlines, administrative information, and<br />
details about standard audiovisual equipment to be provided, as well as additional audiovisual<br />
equipment that may be requested. Links to the individual Instructor <strong>Report</strong> pages would be<br />
available from this page, similar to the pages used for the 2006 training program.<br />
• Continue to make available the online Instructor <strong>Report</strong> pages as soon as the developing<br />
milestones are established and the development teams are identified. Include general tips to<br />
develop presentations that are legible and easily read; these tips may help address the comments<br />
submitted by participants about materials that were difficult to read.<br />
