Description:

The Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) program was the first major program for demonstrating and evaluating full-scale innovative treatment technologies at hazardous waste sites. Having concluded its fifth year, the SITE program is recognized as a leading advocate of innovative technology development and commercialization for hazardous waste treatment and remediation. In addition, through the demonstration of innovative monitoring and measurement technologies, EPA is promoting faster, more cost-effective site characterization and post-cleanup monitoring methods for Superfund and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) corrective action sites. This fifth report to Congress documents the impact of the SITE program through discussing the program's progress and accomplishments over the past year. The report also sets goals for the coming years and makes specific recommendations on achieving these goals.
