Abstract |
The purpose of the Materials Managment and Remediation (MMR) Center is to verify materials management technologies, including recycling, beneficial use of waste materials, recovery of useful components of wastes, and treatments to minimize disposal requirements (e.g., containment, volume, cost). The center will also verify technologies to remediate contaminated land and ground water, such as is found at Superfund sites and other properties where industrial or commercial activities resulted in a legacy of hazardous constituents that limits future use of the property. The MMR Center encompasses the full range of materials management and remediation technologies, and as part of the larger Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) program is designed to provide technology users with objective, high quality performance data to support materials management or remediation technology selection decisions. |
