Contact's Name: Philip Egidi
Email Address: egidi.philip@epa.gov
Dates Needed: Flexible through Fall 2020
Weekly Hours Needed: Flexible
Internship Description: Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (TENORM) is defined as, "Naturally occurring radioactive materials that have been concentrated or exposed to the accessible environment as a result of human activities such as manufacturing, mineral extraction, or water processing.” "Technologically enhanced" means that the radiological, physical, and chemical properties of the radioactive material have been concentrated or further altered by having been processed, or beneficiated, or disturbed in a way that increases the potential for human and/or environmental exposures. Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) is defined as, “Materials which may contain any of the primordial radionuclides radioactive elements as they occur in nature, such as radium, uranium, thorium, potassium, and their radioactive decay products, such as radium and radon, that are undisturbed as a result of human activities." Background radiation, which is present in terrestrial, cosmic, and cosmogenic sources, is always around us. Some man-made radioactivity is considered part of the background for regulatory purposes (e.g., the fallout from weapons testing).
Virtual Job Duties: Literature reviews, data collection, reduction, and visualization of TENORM in oil and gas effluents and residuals. Assemble radiological data from the literature on various sources of radioactivity in the oil and gas sector, evaluate the data against EPA QA guidelines; compile in an ongoing spreadsheet, perform descriptive and nonparametric statistics on the data, visualizations (plots, graphs) and when possible present locations in GIS.

VIRTUAL INTERNSHIP: GIS Assistant
Employing Agency Name & Address: Environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20460
Contact's Name: Jonathan Major, Xinyue Tong, Jay Santillan
Email Address: Major.Jonathan@epa.gov, Tong.Xinyue@epa.gov, santillan.eugenio-felipe@epa.gov
Dates Needed: Summer 2020 and Fall 2020. The exact start and end dates can accommodate the intern’s schedule.
Weekly Hours Needed: Up to 40 hours per week. The exact hours can accommodate the intern’s schedule. The duties could accommodate more than one intern. The exact project to be executed during the internship can be discussed and developed between the intern and EPA hosts, based on available time and data resources.
Internship Title & Description: WIPP, developed by DOE in southeastern New Mexico about 26 miles east of Carlsbad, is the nation's first and only facility for deep geological disposal of defense-related transuranic (TRU) waste. The facility is mined in a stable salt bed 2150 feet below the ground surface. SE New Mexico was selected due to its stable geology, thick impermeable salt layers, and local support. Defense TRU waste consists of clothing, tools, rags, residues, debris, sludge, soil, and other items contaminated with plutonium and other man-made radioactive elements. WIPP can accept two types of shipments: Contact-handled (CH) waste: dose rate < 200 mrem/hr measured at container surface and Remote-handled (RH) waste: dose rate up to 1,000 rem/hr (no more than 7,080 m3, or 5% by volume). In the WIPP LWA of 1992 and 1996 amendments, Congress gave EPA the authority to develop the criteria to implement the generally applicable radioactive waste disposal standards specifically for the WIPP. WIPP began to receive waste shipments in 1999. At the end of 2019, 12,638 waste shipments containing over 172,000 waste containers have been received at WIPP.
Virtual Job Duties: Produce a GIS database and associated map products for use by EPA staff for the WIPP and the Delaware Basin region of southeast New Mexico around and south of Carlsbad, NM to track and verify information provided by DOE along with other state and federal agencies. DOE has a GIS database that would be the starting point for the EPA work. The Delaware Basin is part of the oil and natural gas-rich Permian Basin that covers west Texas and southeast New Mexico. The database should include subsurface data derived from publically available industry and government resources and wells drilled by DOE in support of WIPP characterization and monitoring. Location of production wells inside the Delaware Basin. Location, timing, rate, depth (formation), and total volume of wastewater injection wells inside and surrounding the margins of the Delaware Basin. Location, time, and depth of brine encounters during drilling activities inside the Delaware Basin. Location of pipelines and other infrastructure The GIS database would parallel and incorporate data from DOE’s Delaware Basin Drilling Surveillance Program (DBDSP). The GIS database may also include data from the WIPP groundwater monitoring program to support and allow independent hydrological analyses by EPA staff. Other database parameters that may be included: Location, time, and magnitude of earthquakes inside the Delaware Basin. Hydrological and climatological data, including water quality data (where applicable), and Air monitoring data to support EPA NESHAPS work. Job duty includes literature reviews, online research, database entry and creation, and GIS maps.

VIRTUAL INTERNSHIP: WIPP Information Management Assistant
Employing Agency Name & Address: Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20460
Contact's Name: Jerry Ellis and Xinyue Tong
Email Address: Ellis.Jerry@epa.gov and Tong.Xinyue@epa.gov
Dates Needed: Summer 2020 and Fall 2020. The exact start and end dates can accommodate the intern’s schedule.
Weekly Hours Needed: Up to 40 hours per week. The exact hours can accommodate the intern’s schedule.
Internship Description: The Center for Waste Management and Regulations conducts oversight of the Department of Energy’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). Materials related to the project reside in the official docket at regulations.gov. The regulations.gov is not very searchable and as the project is now over 20 years in scope and will have at least another 20-30 years, it is imperative that EPA develop a useable information management system. The primary goal of any WIPP information management system (WIMS) is to allow us at EPA to search for documentation of policy decisions, topics, and specific documents, such as correspondence between EPA and DOE that are in the docket (regulations.gov). EPA staff will need assistance with preparing documents to be put in an information system that will be developed by a contractor. While the primary database/information management system will be done by a contractor, EPA will also need additional support not provided by the contractor as discussed in the duties below. Ideally, the system developed for WIPP could be used for documents in the radioactive National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) and emergency response. Thus, we may also request assistance with identifying documents in these other categories that could be part of an extended information management system.
Virtual Job Duties: Participate in the WIPP information management development activities. Categorize WIPP documents on the existing file repository (e.g. G-Drive, SharePoint, and Docket). Convert files (e.g., Word Perfect, Image files) into pdf. Adding metadata to files. Job duty includes literature reviews, online research, and database entry. The intern will help the staff organize files in a database/web-based system, including “tagging” the files with metadata so that documents can be searched by keyword, date, title, category of the document (such as inspection reports, PowerPoint presentations, published scientific literature).

Contact Tracing Course - Johns Hopkins
The COVID-19 crisis has created an unprecedented need for contact tracing across the country, requiring thousands of people to learn key skills quickly. The job qualifications for contact tracing positions differ throughout the country and the world, with some new positions open to individuals with a high school diploma or equivalent.
In this introductory course, students will learn about the science of SARS-CoV-2 , including the infectious period, the clinical presentation of COVID-19, and the evidence for how SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted from person-to-person and why contact tracing can be such an effective public health intervention. Students will learn about how contact tracing is done, including how to build rapport with cases, identify their contacts, and support both cases and their contacts to stop transmission in their communities. The course will also cover several important ethical considerations around contact tracing, isolation, and quarantine. Finally, the course will identify some of the most common barriers to contact tracing efforts -- along with strategies to overcome them.
