Training
Site Investigation and Remediation for Munitions Response Projects
Provides an introduction and overview of the processes, tools, and techniques used in investigation and remediation. These concepts are illustrated using an example munitions response site. During the course of the training, major steps in each process are identified and key regulatory considerations discussed.

Munitions Response Historical Record Review
Introduces state regulators, environmental consultants, site owners, and community stakeholders to Munitions Response Historical Record Review  (UXO-2, 2003), created by ITRC's Unexploded Ordnance Team to assist reviewers in assessing the adequacy of an MRHRR review of property potentially impacted by the use of military munitions. Teaches the purpose, content, and terminology of munitions historical research; provides a uniform technical approach and useful tools for reviewing an MRHRR document independent of regulatory framework or authorities; and communicates state regulator expectations to those initiating, planning, and executing an MRHRR document.

Geophysical Prove-Outs for Munitions Response Projects
Introduces the purpose and scope of GPOs; provides examples of goals and objectives associated with GPOs; and presents detailed information needed to evaluate the design, construction, implementation and reporting of GPOs
