RCRA Permitting Support

TechLaw performs or provides oversight of the many components of RCRA Permitting, and has done this for more than 900 projects. Our experience shows that in the preparation of a permit, the key is to provide all the information required by the permit process. In the review process, the first step is to determine if the required information

TechLaw, Inc. 8

07/12/14 has been provided—the completeness review. The next step, the adequacy review, determines if the information is sufficient to enable proper technical review.

The third step, the technical review, requires a preliminary review of the document, a site visit, verification of the accuracy of the information provided, compliance assessment, and deliverable product development. Compliance assessment and the professional assessment of information, assumptions and methodology to identify any weaknesses in the permit are critical to the technical review. Any issues are documented through the development of a Notice of Deficiency (NOD) and checklist, and the process of revision, submission and review may be repeated.

The entire permit process requires public participation and input including: conducting public meetings and workshops; preparing and finalizing all written and verbal materials;

providing expert witness support; and preparing responses to public comments.

Environmental Compliance Audits/Site Assessments

Environmental Site Assessments: TechLaw has performed more than 500 Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) to protect clients from purchasing or leasing properties that may be contaminated. The scope of these assessments is based on standards promulgated by the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM).

TechLaw performs historical research, a site inspection, interviews, and reviews of governmental agency data to fully determine the history of property usage, and to evaluate the presence of recognized environmental conditions.

Preliminary Assessments: TechLaw has conducted hundreds of PAs at sites nationwide. Assessments include a review of existing, readily available information about a site and the surrounding area. PAs are used to assess the relative threat associated with actual or potential releases of hazardous substances to groundwater, surface water, soil, and air, by generating a preliminary hazard ranking system (HRS) score. Based on the review, TechLaw uses PAScore software to generate PA score sheets, the Potential Hazardous Waste Site PA Form with associated documentation, and a narrative report that includes maps and background information.

Removal Assessments: TechLaw has provided support to EPA in Regions 1, 3, 6, 8, and 10 by conducting Removal Assessments to determine if conditions at a site warrant a Removal Action under the National Contingency Plan (NCP). TechLaw designs the Removal Assessment to assist EPA to determine if the site poses a threat to human health or the environment, if there is an imminent and substantial threat, and to determine the presence and volume of hazardous waste/substances.

Compliance Assessments: TechLaw has conducted more than 150 compliance audits for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) involving 22 environmental regulatory areas.

TechLaw conducted Environmental Compliance Assessment System (ECAS) Assessments to evaluate the compliance status of U.S. Army installations in relation to U.S. Army policies and programs, as well as to Federal, state, and local environmental regulations. ECAS involved the evaluation of 18 environmental regulatory areas, including asbestos, hazardous materials, the Clean Water Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the CAA, RCRA-C (hazardous wastes), RCRA-D (solid waste), natural resources, and the Endangered Species Act.

Environmental Management Systems (EMS)

TechLaw also provides services in developing EMS that cover policy, planning;

implementation and operation; checking and corrective action; and management review.

For example, in response to a multi-million dollar consent order, a $6 billion, 15,000-employee U.S. electric utility adopted TechLaw’s Stages of Excellence (a proprietary tool) to integrate environmental management across all of its corporate and line operations and facilities. Within 18 months of embarking upon our program, environmental violations dropped 59%, water exceedances dropped 37%, and air exceedances dropped 52%. Millions of dollars were saved using the new EH&S management processes we helped to design, resulting in reported dramatic improvement in the coordination and management of environmental issues at every level of the organization. As a result, the company requested TechLaw institute a similar initiative for their company-wide health & safety programs.

Spill Prevention and Preparedness Planning (SPCC/FRP)

TechLaw personnel have reviewed facility response plans (FRPs) and SPCC plans, and have conducted FRP and SPCC inspections. We have developed generic safety plans for SPCC and FRP field inspections to assist in supporting EPA’s Oil Pollution Prevention (OPP) activities. TechLaw also provides support for SPCC Plan inspections through technical review of SPCC plans, and participation in field inspections at regulated facilities for compliance with the OPP requirements and facility SPCC plans.

TechLaw has reviewed more than 3,200 SPCC plan and inspection checklist forms.

Also, TechLaw personnel have attended EPA training regarding the use of personal digital assistant (PDA) units for data input for completion of electronic SPCC inspection forms in the field during SPCC inspections and subsequent daily download of data into a computer.

Contingency Planning

TechLaw personnel have demonstrated experience with Area and Subarea contingency plans. These personnel have assisted EPA in writing draft area contingency plans, and they have conducted drills with state and local responders to test these plans. For example, TechLaw staff members assisted EPA Region 3 in the re-development of the subarea contingency plans for a majority of the region. These plans are used during emergency response operations to determine if sensitive areas are located downstream of the release. The information extracted from the contingency plans was provided to the OSC to form a stronger, more comprehensive response strategy, and to allow more efficient allocation of Federal resources during the response.

TechLaw staff members also assisted EPA in planning and implementing exercises under the National Preparedness for Response Exercise Program (PREP). We assisted in drafting Exercise Plans and attended planning meetings. The primary purposes of the preparedness exercises are to test a FRP and deploy equipment, activate and observe the response infrastructure in the area, and gauge the ability of the entire response community to effectively conduct a spill response. The focus was on the interaction of the facility plan holder with the federal, state, and local governments in exercising the Area Contingency Plan and the FRP.

Waste Characterization and Source Reduction Studies

At DOE’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) site, TechLaw participated in the development of EPA’s Rule to certify opening of the Site, and performed reviews of Technical Support Documents for Waste Characterization. TechLaw evaluated waste characterization data to evaluate DOE identification of waste streams designated for disposal at the WIPP site.

Waste Minimization/Pollution Prevention Initiatives

TechLaw has provided support to EPA in various waste minimization and P2 initiative projects. For example, in response to the Resource Conservation Challenge (RCC), EPA Region 4 requested TechLaw’s assistance with the preparation of a report on municipal solid waste (MSW) generation, diversion, and recycling for the eight states in EPA Region 4. TechLaw designed and distributed a survey to obtain information from these EPA Region 4 states. The information obtained from the survey and additional sources was compiled into the MSW Report. The MSW Report included a section for each state, with subsections for the following: Waste Reduction/Diversion and Recycling;

Beneficial Use; Green Initiatives/Electronics Recycling (E-Wastes); Disposal Facilities;

and General. The MSW Report also contained a listing of all recyclable commodities measured by each state, the state recycling programs, and a summary of state landfills/disposal facilities.

Development of Emergency Response Plans

TechLaw personnel have extensive experience with Emergency Response Plans.

TechLaw provided staff members during the Super Bowl as part of the response team on standby to monitor or respond to any threat of terrorism during the game. TechLaw was part of the team that developed a regional counter-terrorism response plan.

TechLaw staff members have also reviewed the current USPS Emergency Response Plans including, but not limited to, the Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP), the Emergency Action Plan (EAP), the Crisis Management Plan (CMP) and Contingency Plans. The gap analysis cut across the USPS horizontal and vertical management and operation lines.

Particles less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5) are referred to as "fine" particles and are believed to pose the largest "particulate matter" health risks. Since April 2001, TechLaw field scientists have performed more than 1,900 PM2.5 audits in 22 states.

Filters collected during these audits were gravimetrically analyzed at one of the two weighing laboratories in the country. Laboratory support for PM2.5 has included pre-weighing, post-weighing, conditioning, archiving air filters, and maintaining the performance evaluation database (PED). TechLaw laboratory personnel processed more than 18,000 filters in support of the PM2.5 field efforts of Regions 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, and tribes in Region 10.

In support of other air-related projects, TechLaw has also conducted National Performance Audit Program (NPAP) evaluation audits for ozone, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides. A total of 107 audits have been completed in Region 10; 567 audits in Region 5; and 12 audits were completed in Region 1 through a GSA contract. TechLaw has field scientists who are trained and certified to perform PM2.5 and NPEP audits.

Unexploded Ordnance Services

TechLaw has the expertise and experience to successfully support clients faced with the environmental, regulatory, and safety challenges that munitions and explosives of concern (MEC) present at former DOD sites. Our services include:

Technical Support: TechLaw designed and conducted a non-intrusive geophysical survey to study the presence of a suspected underground tunnel system at an Ordnance Depot site in Virginia.

Field Oversight: TechLaw has provided support to EPA related to the detection and removal of MEC at Federal Facility sites. We have coordinated field audits to assess MEC field geophysical survey protocols, and performance of MEC survey methods and geophysical mapping procedures. We have also provided input for remedial action documents, including Ordnance Detection and Discrimination Studies, OE RI/FS Work Plans, Prescribed Burn Air Sampling and Analysis Plans, and Reconnaissance Plans.

Research: TechLaw has conducted research on Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) located in all Region 3 and 5 states, and then gathered and used the research information to develop a FUDS Inventory Database for each Region. TechLaw designed the FUDS Inventory Database to meet requirements of the FUDS policy, as well as the region-specific data requirements.

Training: TechLaw conducted a Safety, Technology, and Regulations training course for state and federal regulators and the public in New Mexico. This is an example of many of the courses TechLaw has developed and presented, which includes multiple internal and web-based training courses to federal, state, and tribal representatives on reviewing permit applications, developing enforcement permit conditions, and conducting inspections for munitions treatment and disposal units, such as detonation chambers, burning pads, open detonation areas, and RMPT units.

Contractor Key Personnel “Mr. Hall [TechLaw UXO expert] is a true asset to EPA on this contract. His experience places us on an even level with contractors serving the federal facilities.”
