Description:

The Subsurface Protection and Remediastion Division(SPRD)conducts EPA-investigator led laboratory and field research to provide the scientific basis to support the development of strategies and technologies to protect and restore ground and surface water quality within a watershed perspective. The Division's research programs include basic studies to enhance understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological processes that control the transport of mass and energy in surface and subsurface ecosystems through the movement of water; the impact of these processes on surface and subsurface ecosystems; and, the application of this process understanding to protect and restore water quality throughout a watershed. SPRD addresses areas of investigation consistent with ORD's strategic plan and the mission of the National Risk Management Research Laboratory. SPRD is the Agency's center of expertise for investigation of the soil and subsurface environment nationwide. To support and carry out its mission, the Division is divided into four branches: Subsurface Remediation Branch, Ecosystem and Subsurface Protection Branch,Technical Assistance and Technology Transfer Branch, and Technical and Administrative Support Staff.
