INSTRUCTOR BIO

Atul M. Salhotra, PhD, is a recognized expert in the cost-effective management of contaminated sites. With more than 40 years of consulting experience, he has developed risk-based decision-making programs for 17 states, including Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.

Dr. Salhotra is the lead author, project manager, and developer of Risk-Based Corrective Action (RBCA) programs for numerous states (Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma) and the U.S. Air Force in Europe. As one of the original American Society for Testing and Materials approved trainers for RBCA, he has conducted training courses throughout the U.S. and across the globe. He is well versed in the site-specific application of risk assessment, evaluation of indoor vapor intrusion, natural attenuation, and fate and transport modeling for the cost-effective management of sites.

Additionally, he has provided litigation support on numerous high-profile cases and performs third-party review of consulting reports, as well as cost-effective management of liabilities due to contaminated sites.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This intermediate to advanced level comprehensive two-day applied course presents an in-depth discussion of the application of risk assessment (RA) and risk-based corrective action (RBCA) for the management of contaminated sites with special emphasis on ORBCA and KRBCA. Several state and federal programs have developed guidance documents and tools to implement RA. However, there is wide variability in the application, understanding of, and acceptance of this tool.

Site specific RA is an important element of the cleanup programs for Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and USEPA as described in the following guidance documents.

This training program presents an in-depth understanding of the fundamental concepts, regulatory framework, quantitative evaluation of the RA process. It also presents the assumptions and limitations of the process and its application to a variety of sites, particularly LUST sites. Successful completion of the course will result in better understanding and application of RA for the management of contaminated sites.
