Description:
The Regional Superfund Engineering Forum is a group of EPA professionals, representing EPA's Regional Superfund Offices, committed to the identification and resolution of engineering issues impacting the remediation of Superfund sites. The Forum is supported by and advises the Superfund Technical Support Project. Incineration has been a recommended method for disposing of hazardous materials, and its use in the Superfund Program is increasing rapidly. It has become one of the most often selected methods for treating hazardous constituents found at Superfund sites. Because of the increased reliance of Superfund decision-makers on incineration, the Engineering Forum has identified the informed evaluation of incineration as a remedy, and issues inherent in its implementation as a high priority. This paper was prepared by the Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratory's (RREL) Engineering and Treatment Technical Support Center, under the technical direction of Laurel Staley (RREL) and Paul Leonard (Region III), with the support of the Superfund Technical Support Project.
