Technical Support Project (TSP) Forums

TSP was established to provide technical assistance to EPA RPMs, On-Scene Coordintors (OSC), and Correction Action Staff.   The project members exist within three forums: The Engineering Forum, The Ground Water Forum, and The Federal Facilities Forum.   Members of these forums will have the opportunity to meet with other forum members to discuss technical and policy issues, new technologies, to network with other federal agencies, and to attend courses offered at the 2008 NARPM Annual Training Conference.

The dates and times of the TSP Forum business meetings are:
