SUMMARY:Alaska Forum Virtual Technical Session: SM-1A Decommissioning and Dismantlement – Project Update
DESCRIPTION:The US Army Corps of Engineers has actively begun to implement the decommissioning and dismantlement of the SM-1A deactivated nuclear power plant located at Fort Greely\, AK.  The team is in the initial planning phases at this point with a planned mobilization date in May 2024.  The update will include details on the history of the project\, our regulatory framework\, where the project is headed in the next 12-18 months\, discusses our planned waste transportation route and tribal consultation\, plus will allow for questions and answers.

SUMMARY:Alaska Forum Virtual Technical Session: Disaster Resilience: Tribal Coalitions & Other Solutions
DESCRIPTION:This presentation is a follow-up to the November 2020 Alaska Forum presentation (Adapting to Climate Change: Lessons Learned from Rural Alaska Disaster Resilience Projects). In the three years since the 2020 Alaska Forum presentation I have worked on building tribal coalitions to respond to environmental threats (i.e. a regional response)\, among other initiatives to improve disaster resilience efforts at a community level. What is noteworthy is that the federal government has long used tribal organizations to carry out programs\, projects and activities in tribal settings including housing (HUD)\, health care (IHS)\, and social service\, education\, and many other tribal programming (BIA). However the Stafford Act only recognizes States and Tribes as entities that can work directly with the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA). In other words\, tribal organizations are not recognized by FEMA as an agent of tribes to work directly with the agency on disaster resilience. Consequently\, regional solutions to environmental threats are not readily envisioned and advanced with an obvious loss of economy of scale solutions. Therefore\, it falls on a tribe or a municipality to take lead in coordinating agencies and stakeholders in a multi-jurisdictional setting to develop effective disaster resilience solutions. Local capacity is tested. This presentation will include how a disaster resilience coalition can simulate a federally recognized tribal organization. The presentation will include discussion of the only multi-tribal FEMA approved Hazard Mitigation Plan in the country (to date) – the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians (a coalition of five tribes in central California) in addressing wildfires; the Unit 4 Disaster Resilience efforts (Akiak\, Akiachak\, Kwethluk\, and Tuluksak) in addressing riverine erosion and flooding; and preliminary discussions a number of the Olympic Peninsula tribes are having for a collective response to the Cascadia fault earthquake/tsunami.\nPresenter: Joel Neimeyer

SUMMARY:Alaska Forum Virtual Technical Session: Advances in Phytoremediation for Sustainable Nature-Based Treatment on Hydrocarbons and Mixed Waste Sites
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will discuss design methodologies and data from full-scale phytoremediation installations on several hydrocarbon and mixed waste sites utilizing Endophyte-Assisted Phytoremediation System (EAPS) technology\, as well as how they have been successful in meeting sustainability goals. These synergistic bioremediation tools and innovative techniques have been deployed to address several classes of pollutants\, including chlorinated VOCs\, petroleum hydrocarbons\, and 1\,4-dioxane alone and in mixed waste situations.\nSpeaker: Renee Murphy\, Intrinsyx Environmental

SUMMARY:Alaska Landfill Operator Training
DESCRIPTION:Alaska Landfill Operator Training (ALOT) is for the designated landfill operator in a village with a Class III landfill or open dump. The course focuses on the duties of the landfill operator\, their personal safety\, and the safety of the village. Emphasis is placed on the importance of the landfill operator’s role to keep the village clean and the landfill free from harmful substances.\nAlaska Landfill Operator Training (ALOT) is a newly developed training that expands the content of our previous landfill training offerings (RALO\, RALA\, HHW) to allow more encompassing content including covering all the responsibilities associated with landfill operations.\nThis is a three day course Tuesday\, April 23-Thursday April 25\, with 4 hours of training a day and a few scheduled breaks. To receive the certification\, you must fully attend and participate in all three days of training.
