The State Coalition for Remediation of Drycleaners (SCRD) is a forum of state environmental agencies designed to exchange information and facilitate discussion of drycleaner remediation issues. In this training SCRD members will present information from a recently updated guidance document on conducting contamination assessment work at drycleaning sites. Salient aspects of this document will be presented, including: an overview of the drycleaning process, chemicals used, waste generation and management practices in the drycleaning industry, site reconnaissance, identifying sampling locations and environmental assessment technologies applied to drycleaning facilities. The guidance and internet seminar will help state regulators and practitioners identify likely areas of contamination and more effectively implement investigation approaches at current and former drycleaner facilities.
