Class Details

The Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation (OSRTI) is offering this course which is based on the document "Superfund Response Actions: Temporary Relocations Implementation Guidance" and will focus on the following topics:

• Making the decision: Is relocation a viable option at your site?
• Gathering household information: What do you need to know?
• What is a "reasonable expense"? What is not appropriate?
• How to work with the affected residents - Communication is key
• Dealing with stress and disruption
• Resolving disputes
• Anticipating problems - Developing creative solutions

There also will be some discussion on business relocations and we will also talk about rebuilding of demolished structures. The course will include a discussion of these topics and more and students will have a chance to apply their knowledge to a case study. Students are strongly encouraged to bring site-specific examples or questions for discussion.

The appropriate audience for this course includes: OSCs, RPMs, CICs, and attorneys with ORC. USACE real estate experts also will be invited. Experts and novices are encouraged to attend. The course is most helpful when there is a balance between representatives from each of the identified job classifications. Attendance is limited.

*This course is offered free of charge to all registrants who are confirmed to attend.*

U.S. EPA or invited USACE registrants only
