[SRRA]: Technical Guidance Document Training: Planning for and Response to Catastrophic Events at Contaminated Sites

Training on the Planning for and Response to Catastrophic Events at Contaminated Sites Technical Guidance will be held on Tuesday, June 14, 2016 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM (check-in at 8:30 AM) in the DEP Public Hearing Room, 401 E. State Street, Trenton.

Program Description:
This training will provide an overview of the soon to be issued Technical Guidance on "Planning for and Response to Catastrophic Events at Contaminated Sites." In the wake of Superstorm Sandy, the Department, LSRPs, and persons responsible for conducting the remediation evaluated lessons learned and identified improvements that could be made to enhance remedial system resiliency for future catastrophic events. The resulting guidance and this training will discuss important topics related to catastrophic events, including:

• factors to consider in planning for and responding to catastrophic events;
• incorporating resiliency into the design and implementation of site remedies;
• retro-fitting vulnerable sites to decrease disruption to existing systems;
• establishing communication networks, chain-of-command structures, and procedures to be used during catastrophic events; and
• how to re-assess systems and review lessons learned to better prepare for future catastrophic events.

A Case Study will also be presented to help illustrate these concepts.
