3. Where We Have Been … Achievements and Growth Over Last 15 Years

4. ITRC Now Averages 10-12 Projects & Classroom Training Initiatives Per Year
1995
2010
Attenuation Processes for Metals and Radionuclides
Accelerated Site Characterization

5. ITRC Has Increased Impact
98 documents published
67,000 training attendees
600 members (200 state members)
7,000 document hard copies distributed
9,000 web hits per month
ITRC increased product delivery during reduced budgets by leveraging/increasing in-kind membership expertise and creating organization efficiencies

6. State Participation Over 15 Years
1995
2000
ITRC Member
2005
2010
State membership over time.
At some point in time every POCs has been an official member by appointing a State Point of Contact (POC)
States without POCs assigned (WA, ID, LA, HI, DC)
Puerto Rico joined in 2010
Thanks to the affiliation with ECOS in 1999 when ITRC administration was transferred from Western Governors Association (WGA) to ECOS we saw a significant increase in state membership 6

7. ITRC Membership Growth
NOTE: horizontal scale goes from 1995 (estimated 40 members) directly to 2000, when we started keep a tally in Microsoft Access. We have paper records for , but have not gone through them.
NOTE: Interested Parties drop off after 2004 because when IAP started in 2005, we eliminated industry interested parties, which greatly decreased the numbers. 7

8. ITRC Productivity Compared to ITRC Income8

9. Success!!!!
29 states report use of ITRC’s Vapor Intrusion guidance document in at least one of the following ways:
As a basis to develop state guidance
As a reference within state guidance
As a tool to directly assist with site activities
As a resource for state staff and consultants/contractors
ITRC has trained over 3,500 people from across the nation on vapor intrusion (42% are state regulators)!
One of ITRC’s most significant benefits is that ITRC guidance document text can be used with confidence by states when crafting or implementing their own guidance. This saves time and money for states since they don’t have to reinvent the wheel and can use ITRC-reviewed language directly into their own documents. Additionally, harmonized state regulatory approaches across the country benefits everyone.
“Since participating in ITRC, Maine will likely adopt the ITRC vapor intrusion tech-reg as the default.”
