Memories of the first  \nEarth Day celebration in 1970  \nremain fresh to some. To others, it’s just a random historical event from long before they were born. So, what does Earth Day mean, and is it still relevant to Hoosiers?  \nMuch has changed since the first Earth Day. Since 1970, the environmental footprint of 30% more Hoosiers has greatly increased. Our environment has been substantially improved through increased oversight and management of wastes: smog has been significantly reduced, rivers are now cleaner, and land formerly considered blighted is safely and beneficially being reused. However, without remembering our polluted past, improvements can be taken for granted and become fleeting. Events like Earth Day are the nucleus of remembering, promoting, and having a cleaner  \nand healthier environment. While  \nall Hoosiers currently enjoy the legacy of prior Earth Days, celebrating it forward builds upon those benefits for future  \ngenerations.  \nKevin Davis, Remediation Services Branch Chief  \nIDEM’s Office of Land Quality (OLQ) staff participated in process improvement events to identify customer needs and solutions, streamline report reviews, and improve overall communication with external parties. As part of the continuous improvements, OLQ created four new standard templates for meetings and site visits for use at releases managed by the Petroleum Remediation Services, State Cleanup, and Voluntary Remediation Program. The new meeting and site visit templates ensure consistent and clear project management across the remediation programs and allow for improved communication throughout the lifecycle of a release, from reporting to closure.  \nIDEM created the High Priority Release meeting template to facilitate the initial high priority release meeting. Generally, a release qualifies as high priority when a receptor isin direct contact with release-related chemicals above acceptable exposure levels. Given the immediacy, high priority release meetings should be held within seven days of release discovery. The meeting will be an opportunity to meet with the OLQ and Science Services Branch team (PM, chemist, geologist, risk assessor and/or engineer), discuss agency expectations, a discussion of roles, and OLQ’s oversight responsibilities.  \nThe project manager then organizes an On-Site Visit-Release Investigation to conduct a site walkthrough, discuss the source and release locations, and any offsite concerns such as problems with gaining off-site property access. The project manager organizes a Remedy Selection meeting before a remedy is selected (when necessary to discuss potential remedies and closure strategies) . The meeting occurs typically after characterization is complete but prior to the submittal of a remedy selection report. The project team will discuss IDEM expectations and the timeline for the remedy implementation, quarterly monitoring, and completion, as well as potential outcomes for non-compliance. Progress milestones, remedy contingency plans, and the need for Institutional Controls such as ERCs will also be discussed.  \nAdditionally, OLQ created Sampling Observation Notes (SONs) to be used by nonchemistry staff when observing sampling activities. SONs provide a systematic approach to sampling observations by utilizing standard sampling requirements for each media. If OLQ staff have specific chemistry-related questions, or observe sampling discrepancies, the information may be used to request a Chemistry Services field audit during a future sampling event.  \nThis new approach will ensure clear expectations are clear to all and help keep projects moving toward a closure that is protective of human health and the environment. The meeting forms will be rolled out summer 2023.  \nNotice of Contamination in the Right of Way COMING SOON!  \nWork","cbCaitbsVUof1aRw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitbsVUof1aRw","pdf",588303,"English","# Volume 8, Spring 2023\n## Streamlining meeting templates and sampling observation notes\n## Earth Day context and environmental education\n## New standard templates and program communication\n## High Priority Release meeting guidance\n## On-site visit and remedy selection coordination\n## Sampling Observation Notes (SONs)\n## Notice of Contamination in the Right of Way state form\n## New project managers in VRP","[{\"question\":\"What process improvements did IDEM’s OLQ implement in the Spring 2023 newsletter?\",\"answer\":\"OLQ created four new standard templates for meetings and site visits and added structured Sampling Observation Notes (SONs) to support consistent project management and communication throughout remediation release lifecycles.\"},{\"question\":\"When should high priority release meetings be held after release discovery?\",\"answer\":\"High priority release meetings should be held within seven days of release discovery to ensure timely discussion with OLQ and Science Services Branch teams and clarify expectations and roles.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of Sampling Observation Notes (SONs)?\",\"answer\":\"SONs provide a systematic approach for observing sampling activities using standard sampling requirements for each media, and they can be used to request a Chemistry Services field audit when discrepancies arise.\"}]","RSB Newsletter - Volume 8 - Spring 2023 - Streamlining Meeting Templates and Sampling Observation Notes - Earth Day State Form | PDF",1789258737]
