Description:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Research and Development (ORD) conducts research related to the demonstration and evaluation of innovative cleanup technologies. One of the mechanisms for the evaluation of innovative field-scale technologies for hazardous waste remediation is the Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program. The SITE Program provides independent, credible performance data and cost information to assist in the evaluation of remedial options. In-situ treatment of contaminated groundwater is a focus area for the SITE Program. Research includes innovative technologies for clean up of dense non-aqueous liquids (DNAPLs), chlorinated solvents, PCBs and metals. A variety of techniques and applications wil be discussed in this presentation. This research is leading to a better understanding of innovative groundwater treatment systems and provides more accurate performance and cost information on these innovative approaches.
