The SITE Program is intended to accelerate the use of new and innovative treatment processes that provide permanent control of hazardous waste as well as evaluate innovative measurement and monitoring techniques and pursue an active technology transfer program. Within the SITE Program, the Demonstration Program and the Emerging Technology Program are responsible for alternative technology development. The SITE Demonstration Program has as its major thrust the documentation of reliable performance and cost information for innovative alternative technologies. The demonstration projects identify limitations of the technology, the need for pre- or post-treatment of wastes, applicable wastes and waste media, potential operating problems, and the approximate cost of applying the technology.
