Impact/Purpose:
To provide credible performance data for commercial-ready environmental technologies to speed their implementation for the benefit of vendors, purchasers, permitters, and the public.
Description:
Throughout its history, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has evaluated technologies to determine their effectiveness in monitoring, preventing, controlling and cleaning up pollution. Since the early 1990s, however, numerous government and private groups have determined that the lack of an organized and ongoing program to produce independent, credible performance data is a major impediment to the development and use of innovative environmental technology. Such data are needed by technology buyers and permitters, both in the United States and abroad, to make informed technology decisions. To overcome this impediment, EPA established a program to accelerate the implementation of environmental technology through objective verification and reporting of technology performance. In October 1995, the Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program was established by EPA.
