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 />
