SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: In 2001 six Federal 

agencies began formal cooperation 

under a Memorandum of Understanding 

(MOU) on the research and 

development of multimedia (i.e. air, 

soil, water) environmental models. This 

MOU established the Federal 

Interagency Steering Committee on 

Multimedia Environmental Modeling 

(ISCMEM). The MOU was revised and 

renewed in 2006 and 2011. The MOU 

establishes a framework for facilitating 

cooperation and coordination among 

research organizations in the 

participating agencies. So far, six 

agencies have signed the current 

renewal of the MOU: The U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers (Engineer Research 

and Development Center); the U.S. 

Department of Energy (Office of 

Environmental Management); the U.S. 

Department of Interior (U.S. Geological 

Survey); the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (Office of Research 

and Development); the U.S. National 

Science Foundation (Geosciences 

Directorate); and the U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (Office of 

Nuclear Regulatory Research). Other 

agencies are still reviewing the revised 

MOU. 

In ISCMEM, agencies work to 

cooperate and coordinate in the research 

and development of all aspects of 

multimedia environmental modeling. 

This includes development and 

enhancements of software, databases, 

and interoperability. It includes 

applications and assessment of site 

specific, generic, and process-oriented 

multimedia environmental models as 

they pertain to human and 

environmental health risk assessment. 

Multimedia environmental model 

development and simulation supports 

interagency interests in risk assessment, 

uncertainty analyses, and management 

of geologic, hydrologic, atmospheric, 

terrestrial, and ecological resources. The 

topics to be discussed this year focus 

on: (1) Development of frameworks and 

platforms; (2) subsurface 

biogeochemical studies; (3) cyber-water 

research program; and (4) integration 

modeling for national weather services, 

water resources management, and 

surface water and ecological systems. 

Purpose of the Public Meeting: The 

annual public meeting provides an 

opportunity for the scientific 

community, ISCMEM members and 

other Federal and State agencies, and 

the public to discuss ISCMEM activities 

and their initiatives for the upcoming 

year, and to discuss technological 

advancements in multimedia 

environmental modeling. 

Proposed Agenda: The ISCMEM Chair 

will open the meeting with a brief 

overview of the goals of the MOU and 

an update on current activities and 

future plans of ISCMEM. This 

introduction will be followed by a series 

of invited technical presentations for the 

remainder of the first day and for the 

entire second day, focusing on topics of 

mutual interest to ISCMEM participants. 

The steering committee will hold an 

open business session on the morning of 

the third day. A detailed agenda with 

presentation titles and speakers will be 

posted on the ISCMEM public Web site: 

http://iemhub.org/topics/iscmem. The 

agenda and instructions for registration 

will also be available through the list of 

public meetings on the US Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission Web site at 

http://www.nrc.gov/public-involve/ 

public-meetings.html.
