Description:

The Emerging Technology Program (ETP), part of the U.S. EPA's Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program, is continuing to create an environment where technical innovation can accelerate into field and commercial applications for treatment of hazardous waste sites. he ETP was established under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986 to research and develop innovative/alternative technologies. n addition, the SITE program was also mandated to demonstrate innovative/alternative technologies in the field. rimary goal of the ETP is to move developed technologies to the field demonstration stage, thus creating a full impact assessment of the life cycle of a technologyfrom research to field emonstration. raditionally, the SITE Program has promoted the research development and demonstration of innovative technologies for implementation at hazardous waste sites through four program components: the Demonstration Program; the Emerging Technology Program; the Measurement and Monitoring Technologies Development Program; and the Technology Transfer Program. he purpose of this article is to provide: (1) information about understanding the SITE Emerging Technology Program and how it operates (2) an account of the progress of the ETP's first seven years (1987-1993) of operation (the ETP started one year later than the demonstration program); (3) a list of ETP technologies with research completed: (4) a description of those technologies selected from the 1993 selection; and (5) an awareness that the program has traditionally been providing funding and echnical support to the private sector for the acceleration of research and development.
