Description:
TITLE: EPA Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program Douglas W. Grosse Senior Environmental Engineer U.S. EPA, Office of Research and Development National Risk Management Research Laboratory National Risk Management Research Laboratory Environmental Technology Assessment & Verification Staff Cincinnati, OH The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established the Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program in 1995 to verify the performance of innovative technical solutions to problems that threaten human health or the environment. ETV’s mission is to accelerate the use of new environmental technologies in the domestic and international marketplace. ETV provides third-party, quality-assured performance data so buyers and users of environmental technologies can make informed purchase and application decisions. ETV operates through public/private testing partnerships (called Centers) to evaluate the performance of environmental technologies for monitoring, pollution control, and pollution prevention. Battelle, a nonprofit technology research and development organization with headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, manages the Advanced Monitoring Systems (AMS) Center for the EPA. The AMS Center, which began in October 1997, verifies the performance of commercially available technologies that monitor, characterize, and detect contaminants and natural species in various matrices including air, water, and soil. The ETV AMS Center is planning a verification test for technologies that can support monitoring objectives related to vapor intrusion. Soil-gas sampling and real-time monitoring technologies are being sought for participation in this test. The poster will present an overview of the ETV program. Participants are invited to discuss interest in participating in the ETV verification test of vapor intrusion monitoring technologies with EOA staff.
