Description:
The SITE program of the USEPA has been bringing together the private sector, EPA, and other federal and state agencies to succedssfully address complex hazardous waste problems. For more than 15 years, the SITE Program has successfully promoted the development, commercialization and implementation of innovative treatment technologies. The program provides environmental decision-makers with relevant data on new, viable remediation technologies that may have performance or cost advantages compared to conventional treatment technologies. To date, the program has completed 124 field demonstrations and is currently working with an additional 21 projects. Some technologies demonstrated by SITE have become standard such as soil vapor extraction, ex-situ thermal desorption, and ex-situ solvent extraction.
