Description:
SITE promotes the development and implementation of innovative technologies for remediating hazardous waste sites and for evaluating the nature and extent of hazardous waste site contamination through four component segments. The SITE Program is a key element in EPA's efforts to increase the use of innovative technologies forthe cleanup of hazardous waste sites. The features of SITE include: 1) Saving costs significantly when compared to conventional technologies; 2) Increasing communication and technology transfer; 3) Transferring high quality technology-specific data; 3) Encouraging commercial use of innovative technologies. An impact evaluation was performed specifically on the Demonstration segment of the Program. This segment assesses promising innovative technologies on-s'rte and provides reliable performance, cost and applicability information for making cleanup decisions.
