Abstract |
The Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program has been successfully promoting the development, commercialization and implementation of innovative hazardous waste treatment technologies for more than 10 years. SITE offers a mechanism for conducting joint technology demonstration and evaluation projects at hazardous waste sites involving the private sector, EPA, and other federal and state agencies. The program provides environmental decision-makers relevant data on new, viable remediation technologies that may have performance or cost advantages compared to conventional treatment technologies. Today, SITE is recognized as one of EPA's principal programs to advance innovative site monitoring, characterization, and cleanup technologies, with the potential to treat hazardous waste more efficiently, less expensively, and more safely than many existing methods. |
