How You Will Benefit
The USEPA has endorsed the use of risk-based decision-making in underground storage tank (UST) corrective action programs. ASTM, in cooperation with USEPA, is providing training on the RBCA process to over forty-nine state UST agencies. Over thirty states are in the process of implementing a RBCA program.
This is your opportunity to receive the same RBCA training your state regulators are receiving from the organization that developed the RBCA standard.

Summary
About the Instructors
This course will be taught by two highly qualified instructors who are members of ASTM Committee E50 on Environmental Assessment. These instructors were selected by the same ASTM task group responsible for developing the RBCA standard.
About ASTM and Sponsoring Committee E50
Recognizing the need for an authoritative risk-based corrective action standard, ASTM pulled together a multifunctional and multidisciplinary collection of professionals. These members of ASTM Committee E50 on Environmental Assessment and its Subcommittee E50.01 on Storage Tanks developed the standard upon which this course is based.
