Foreword
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is charged by Congress with protecting the
nation's land, air, and water resources. Under a mandate of national environmental laws, the EPA
strives to formulate and implement actions leading to a compatible balance between human activities
and the ability of natural systems to support and nurture life. To meet these mandates, EPA's research
program, through its National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL) and National Exposure
Research Laboratory (NERL), provides data and technical support for solving environmental problems,
and is building a science knowledge base necessary to wisely manage our ecological resources,
understand how pollutants affect our health, and prevent or reduce future environmental risks.
NRMRL is the EPA's center for investigating technological and management approaches for
reducing risks from threats to human health and the environment. NRMRL's research program focuses
on methods for preventing and controlling pollution to air, land, water, and subsurface resources;
protecting water quality in public water systems; remediating contaminated sites and groundwater; and
preventing and controlling indoor air pollution. The goal of this research effort is to catalyze
development and implementation of innovative, cost-effective environmental technologies; develop
scientific and engineering information needed by EPA to support regulatory and policy decisions; and
provide technical support and information transfer to ensure effective implementation of environmental
regulations and strategies.
NERL is EPA's center for investigating technical and management approaches for identifying
and quantifying risks to human health and the environment. Goals of NERL's research program are to
(1) develop and evaluate methods and technologies for characterizing and monitoring air, soil, and
water; (2) support regulatory and policy decisions; and (3) provide the science support needed to ensure
effective implementation of environmental regulations and strategies.

Executive Summary
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 with
relevant data on new, viable remediation technologies that may have performance or cost advantages
compared to conventional treatment technologies. Since the initiation of the SITE Program in 1986,
cleanup of contaminated sites through the use of innovative technologies has resulted in a total
discounted cost savings of over 680 million dollars.
During fiscal year (FY) 96, the SITE Program reviewed its approach to doing business and
determined that operational shifts in the program were necessary to identify and assist in the
development of the most sought-after technology types and treatment methods. Building on the
strengths of the existing program, such as demonstration design, quality assurance, and technology
transfer, the SITE Program shifted in FY97 from a technology-driven focus to a remediation problem
focus, driven by the needs of the hazardous waste remediation community. The SITE Program has the
following four operating functions: (1) program planning, (2) matching priority sites with innovative
cleanup solutions, (3) technology field demonstrations, and (4) information dissemination. The SITE
Program's vision of the program is to remain the premiere organization in enhancing the credibility and
implementation of effective innovative remediation options.
The SITE Program continues to earn increased recognition as a leader in advancing innovative
technology development and commercialization. The program is participating with more than 94
hazardous waste sites and 114 technology developers. Due to an unusual budgetary year, the annual
SITE Program solicitation was not announced during FY96, and only ongoing field projects initiated
prior to FY96 were completed. Through FY97, the SITE Program has successfully demonstrated 95
technologies, nine of which were completed during FY97, with four new innovative technologies
evaluated in the field. Emphasis formerly placed on technologies requiring the removal of soil or
groundwater (ex situ) is gravitating to in situ technologies that treat contamination in place. The SITE
Program recognized this change and has emphasized the development of in situ technologies. Of the
21 ongoing or planned demonstrations, 15 are in situ, while only six are ex situ.
To ensure that the Program continues to meet the needs of the remediation community, the
SITE Program established a remediation stakeholder group. This group, which is composed of such
agencies as the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy, reviews innovative technology
applications and develops an environmental emphasis area list, which ensures that the most pressing
issues are prioritized and addressed. For instance, from discussions with various governmental and
private groups, SITE'S Monitoring and Measurement Technologies (MMT) Program identified a need
for more effective methods to evaluate soil contamination. In response to this need, the MMT Program
conducted demonstrations of four soil sampling technologies and two soil gas sampling technologies
VI
-------
in FY 97. Through such relationships with other interested parties, the SITE Program continually
pursues opportunities to conduct cooperative technology demonstrations, thereby reducing expenditures
and further promoting innovative technologies. These factors assist the SITE Program in attaining its
primary goal - the expedited cleanup of the nation's most contaminated sites.

SITE Program Overview
Introduction
The EPA's SITE Program has
successfully promoted the development,
commercialization, and implementation of
innovative hazardous waste site remediation and
characterization technologies for more than 10
years. The SITE Program is composed of a
Demonstration Program, a Monitoring and
Measurement Technology (MMT) Program, and
information transfer. The SITE Program
formerly included the Emerging Technology
Program (ETP), which was discontinued in 1996.
SITE offers a mechanism for conducting joint
technology demonstration and evaluation projects
at hazardous waste sites through the involvement
of the private sector, EPA, and other federal and
state agencies. Commercialization of innovative
technologies is assisted by providing potential
users with high quality, unbiased performance
and cost data. SITE also promotes commercial
application of innovative technologies through an
extensive technology transfer program.
Program Improvements
To reduce expenditures and to remain at
the forefront of innovative technology
development, the SITE Program reviewed its
approach to doing business in fiscal year (FY)
1996. The review indicated that operational
shifts in the program were necessary to identify
and assist in the development of the most sought-
after technology types and treatment methods.
Building on the strengths of the existing program,
such as demonstration design, quality assurance,
and technology transfer, the SITE Program
shifted in FY97 from a technology-driven focus
to a remediation problem focus, driven by the
needs of the hazardous waste remediation
community. EPA's vision of the SITE Program
is to remain the premiere organization in
enhancing the credibility and implementation of
effective innovative remediation options.
The SITE Program is now defined by the
following four operating principles: (1) program
planning, (2) matching priority sites with
innovative cleanup solutions, (3) technology field
demonstrations, and (4) information
dissemination.
Program Planning
To ensure that the SITE Program
continues to focus on validating the most sought-
after remediation technologies, overall program
direction and strategies are now evaluated each
year based on input from the user community and
other private and public-sector stakeholders. As
part of the overall program planning process, the
SITE Program is developing and will implement
a quality management plan based on American
National Standard Institute, Specifications and
Guidelines for Quality Assistance for
Environmental Data Collection and
Environmental Technology Programs
(ANSI/ASQC E4).
Matching Priority Sites with Innovative Cleanup
Solutions
The SITE Program formerly identified
innovative technologies, and then searched for an
appropriate demonstration site. The SITE
Program now solicits and prioritizes sites, and
then seeks appropriate technologies for
demonstration at these sites. Matching a site with
a technology is a flexible process, and a site has
the option of evaluating one or more
technologies. If no specific technology or vendor
-------
is identified by a chosen site, technologies and
vendors are matched to sites by the SITE
Program and other interested parties, which may
include state and federal regulators and other
public representatives.
An important aspect of technology
selection is that more than one technology may
be introduced for review and demonstration. This
allows for matching the most appropriate and
feasible technology to a particular site. General
technology needs of the user community are
identified by soliciting input from working
groups, forums, personal communication, and
hazardous waste publications. With this
continuous input, the SITE Program will continue
to focus on the needs of the remediation
community and the more pressing problems at
contaminated sites.
Technology Field Demonstrations
Field demonstrations are conducted to
provide quality data to evaluate technology
performance. The resulting data and reports are
intended for use by the site owners and state and
federal decision-makers in evaluating
remediation options and for adding credibility to
technology vendors promoting their processes.
SITE Program technology demonstrations
are increasingly conducted in partnership with
other EPA offices, other federal agencies, states,
private industry, and universities. These
partnerships not only reduce the overall costs of
demonstrations to EPA, but accelerate
remediation of some of the most problematic sites
at federal facilities. One example of these
partnerships is the Rapid Commercialization
Initiative (RCI) Program, sponsored by the U.S.
Department of Commerce, which conducts
cooperative technology demonstrations to assist
various agencies in streamlining policies and
strategies for technology commercialization.
-------
The SITE Program is participating in a
technology demonstration under the RCI Program
that is also supported by the U.S. Departments of
Energy (DOE), Defense (DOD), and the
California Environmental Protection Agency.
Information Dissemination
As part of its improvement process, the
SITE Program recognized the need for expediting
the progression of demonstration data
from the laboratory to the user community. The
expansion of its electronic information sources
was identified by the SITE Program as the most
effective means for accomplishing this task. As
a result, the amount of information on innovative
technologies available through electronic sources
is growing at a rapid pace, with the World Wide
Web as the primary conduit.
The development of technical documents
within the SITE Program is a dynamic process,
with a continual drive towards presenting data in
its most usable form. A primary product of this
effort, which was improved in FY97, is the
summarization of information on a variety of
technologies or applications for a specific area of
interest. This information allows the user
community to compare the technical capabilities
of these technologies, expected cost for the
application, and the compliance of the technology
with regulatory guidelines.
Meetings and conferences continue to be
an important factor in the dissemination of
technical information generated by the SITE
Program and were utilized to their full potential
during FY97. These forums offer face-to-face
discussion among the user community,
technology developers, and the SITE Program,
which serves to generate ideas for future
development and use of innovative technologies.
Program Description
SITE is a partnership between the public
and private sectors, where the costs and
responsibilities are shared by EPA, hazardous
waste site owners, and technology developers.
EPA enters into cooperative-type arrangements
with site owners and technology developers,
under which innovative technologies are
demonstrated at selected hazardous waste sites.
EPA evaluates the new technologies based on the
demonstration results, and compiles and
publishes engineering, performance, and cost data
intended to aid in decisions regarding the use of
the technologies at similar hazardous waste sites.
The program generates credible and unbiased
technology cost and performance data needed by
remedial project managers, consultants, and other
environmental decision makers. EPA promotes
easy access to this information, allowing project
manager to make timely decisions in selecting
cleanup remedies.
Historically, one of the greatest factors
inhibiting the use of innovative cleanup
technologies has been the lack of adequate and
credible cost and performance data during
technology development at or near the
commercial scale. Understandably, many site
owners are unwilling to risk the use of innovative
technologies without assurance of the
technology's success. By addressing this need,
SITE has aided in the first-time field use of many
technologies, often resulting in wide acceptance
of a particular technology. Providing credible,
unbiased cost and performance data remains the
foundation of SITE.
Program Design
The SITE Program is comprised of the
following key elements:
/ Demonstration Program
Evaluates and verifies cost and performance
of promising innovative technologies at
selected hazardous waste sites to provide
reliable performance, cost, and applicability
information for site cleanup decision-making
/ Monitoring and Measurement
Technology Program
Evaluates technologies that detect, monitor,
and measure hazardous and toxic
substances to provide more cost-effective
methods for producing real-time data during
site characterization and remediation
-------
/ Information Transfer Activities
Disseminate technical information, including
engineering, performance, and cost data, to
assist in removing barriers for use of
innovative and alternative technologies
Demonstration Program
In the Demonstration Program, innovative
cleanup technologies are field tested on
hazardous waste materials. SITE demonstrations
are conducted at hazardous waste sites, such as
those on the National Priorities List (NPL);
Brownfields at non-NPL sites; or under simulated
hazardous waste site conditions at developer or
federal test and evaluation facilities. Engineering,
performance, and cost data are gathered on
innovative technologies for review by potential
users to evaluate their applicability to similar
waste sites or to compare their effectiveness and
costs to other alternatives. Data collected during
each field demonstration are used to assess the
performance of the technology, the potential need
for pre- or post-processing of the waste,
applicable types of wastes and contaminated
media (for example, soil, sludge, water,
sediment), potential operating problems,
limitations, and approximate capital, operating,
and maintenance costs.
The SITE Program annually solicits
applications for participation in the
Demonstration Program from interested private
firms and federal and state agencies with

based on the research needs of EPA,
other federal agencies, and the
technology user community.
responsibility for cleanup operations at hazardous
waste sites. Cooperative arrangements or
Memoranda of Understanding form the
relationship between the SITE Program and the
parties responsible for the host site. No
contractual agreement is arranged and no funds
are given to the site as part of this arrangement.
SITE provides in-kind service in the form of
technical demonstration, testing, sampling/
analytical services, and report writing.
Host site owners (see Appendix B for
sites categorized by state and location) are
responsible for providing necessary data related
to the hydrogeology and other site conditions,
results of feasibility studies, and results of waste
analyses. The host site also is responsible for all
logistical requirements for the demonstration,
such as availability of utilities, access to land area
at the site large enough for equipment setup,
elimination or restriction of geographical or
geological hindrances, security provisions, and
personnel safety provisions. Technology
developers whose systems are demonstrated are
responsible for transporting equipment to the
selected site, operating their systems, and
removing equipment from the site upon
completion of the demonstration.
EPA is financially and technically
responsible for project planning, sampling and
analysis, quality assurance and quality control,
preparing evaluation reports, and disseminating
cost and performance information to
environmental managers. EPA also prepares
bulletins, project summaries, and videos to
document demonstration activities. These reports
and videos evaluate available information on the
technology and analyze its overall applicability to
other site characteristics, waste types, and waste
matrices. Reports also include testing procedures
and the quality assurance and quality control
standards.
As of September 30, 1997, the
Demonstration Program included 116 accepted,
ongoing, and completed demonstrations. These
-------
technologies are presented alphabetically in
Appendix A, according to the state in which the
developer's business is located.
Monitoring and Measurement Technology
(MMT) Program
The MMT Program provides developers
of innovative hazardous waste measurement and
monitoring technologies with an opportunity to
demonstrate a technology's performance under
actual field conditions. Following the
demonstration, EPA compiles the results and
prepares a report summarizing the findings.
Report distribution may enhance market
acceptance or define new applications for the
technology.
The purpose of the MMT Program is to
accelerate the acceptance and use of effective
innovative measurement and monitoring
technologies in the field. These technologies
include new or modified technologies that can
detect, monitor, and measure hazardous and toxic
substances in the subsurface, soil, sediment,
waste materials, and surface waters. Technologies
include chemical sensors for in situ (in place)
measurements, groundwater sampling devices,
soil and core sampling devices, soil gas or fluid
samplers, laboratory and field-portable analytical
equipment, and other systems that support field
sampling or data acquisition and analysis.
MMT Program technologies can be used
to accurately assess the degree of contamination
at a site, provide data to evaluate potential effects
on human health and the environment, supply
data to assist in selecting the most appropriate
cleanup action, and monitor the effectiveness of
a remediation technology. The selection process
places high priority on technologies that provide
more cost-effective, faster, and safer methods
than conventional technologies for producing
real-time or near-real-time data. Innovative
technologies are demonstrated under field
conditions and results are compiled, evaluated,
published, and
disseminated by ORD. The primary objectives of
this portion of the SITE program are:
> Test field analytical technologies that
enhance monitoring and site character-
ization capabilities
> Identify the performance attributes of new
technologies to address field
characterization and monitoring problems
in a more cost-effective and efficient
manner
> Prepare protocols, guidelines, and
methods that enhance the acceptance of
these technologies for routine use
Evaluations or demonstrations have now
been completed for over 30 technologies. The
MMT Program is administered by ORD'S
National Exposure Research Laboratory at the
Environmental Sciences Division in Las Vegas,
Nevada. Technologies demonstrated under the
MMT Program are listed in Appendix A.
Information Transfer Activities
Information transfer activities ensure that
valuable information on innovative technologies
from the Demonstration and MMT Programs is
disseminated through various communication
mechanisms such as technical networking,
publications, and electronic distribution. The
most important products are the published
technical reports for each field demonstration. All
such activities increase awareness of, and
promote the use of, innovative technologies for
assessment and remediation at Superfund sites.
The primary goal of information transfer is to
promote communication among environmental
stakeholders requiring up-to-date technical
information.
Mechanisms for providing information on
technology demonstrations and the SITE Program
include the following:
Program-specific brochures and exhibits
Conferences, workshops, and technical
working groups
Publications and video tapes (see
Appendix C)
Electronic media, including the Internet
and electronic bulletin boards
-------
> Technical assistance to regions, states,
and remediation contractors
> Technology seminars
Printed and electronic documents are accessible
through the World Wide Web at the
Environmental Technologies Verification (ETV)
Web site (http://www.epa.gov/etv) and at another
site supported by the EPA Office of Solid Waste
and Emergency Response's Technology
Innovation Office (http://clu-in.com).
Several technology databases summarize
information on innovative treatment technologies
and associated vendors. These databases may
serve as tools in identifying potential technology
demonstration candidates or serve as a directories
for technology vendors. Examples of these
databases include, but are not limited to, Vendor
Information System for Innovative Treatment
Technologies (VISITT), Vendor Field Analytical
and Characterization Technologies System
(Vendor FACTS), and the Bioremediation in the
Field Search System (BFSS). This information is
accessible through the internet at the SITE
Homepage (http://www.epa.gov/ORD/SITE/} or

SITE Program Cost Savings and Vendor Accomplishments
Promotion of Innovative Technologies
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
wastes more efficiently, less expensively, and
more safely than many existing methods. SITE'S
mission is to promote the development and
application of innovative technologies that reduce
or eliminate risks to human health and the
environment due to contamination. The goal of
the program is to interact with the technology
user community, understand its needs, integrate
those needs with EPA's research mission, and
expeditiously address those needs. Identifying
and responding to the technology needs of the
remediation community is the driving force
behind today's SITE Program.
Over the past 10 years, SITE has earned
increased recognition as a leader in advancing
innovative technology development and
commercialization and is currently participating
Innovative Technology Use Has
Increased Due to the SITE Program
cooperatively with more than 94 hazardous waste
sites and 114 technology developers. Through
FY97, the SITE Program has successfully
demonstrated 95 technologies, nine of which
were completed during FY97. These
demonstrations have provided a tremendous
amount of information on the performance, costs,
and applicability of innovative cleanup
technologies, which greatly assists managers of
environmental remediation projects in developing
appropriate and effective cleanup solutions.
The types and numbers of innovative
technologies selected for remediation at
Superfund sites were increased significantly after
the passage of SARA. While rarely used during
the early 1980s, innovative technologies
comprised approximately one-quarter of the total
number of technologies selected for Superfund
remediation projects between FY86 and FY87.
Since then, the number has continued to rise,
indicating increased credibility for and
confidence in a number of innovative treatment
technologies. Figure 1 shows that more
innovative technologies were selected in Records
of Decisions (ROD s—official records
documenting selection of Superfund site cleanup
methods) signed during FY93, FY94, and FY 95
than established technologies. Although SITE is
only one contributing factor in increasing
innovative technology selection, the program has
played a significant role in this activity.
Historical Program Cost Savings and Vendor
Contracting
Since its establishment in 1986, the SITE
Program has assisted in the development and use
of innovative technologies, resulting in
substantial cost savings for cleaning up
contaminated sites. The SITE Program has
assisted vendors in advancing innovative
technologies from the development phase to full-
scale application, and has promoted greater
acceptance of these technologies. The following
subsections provide examples of the financial
success of the SITE Program.

Treatment Technologies: Annual Status Report, Eight Edition, EPA/542/r-96/010, November 1997.)
SITE Program Accomplishments
The SITE Program has been estimating
program cost savings since 1993. During 1996,
the SITE Program collected information from
signed RODs (dated 1993-1995) in all 10 EPA
Regions that selected an innovative technology as
the remedy. This time period was selected for
evaluation because more innovative technologies
than conventional technologies were selected in
RODs signed in each of these years, with a total
of 95 innovative technologies used (Figure 1).
Of the 95 RODs that selected innovative
technologies, 46 used technologies evaluated in
the SITE Program. Data compiled by the SITE
Program allowed environmental managers to
compare innovative technologies to conventional
technologies, especially with respect to cost. Cost
savings realized by using innovative technologies
for the 46 RODs was estimated at $1.4 billion,
with an average percent savings per site of 70
percent. Only six of the 46 RODs reported that
the innovative technology was more expensive
than the established technology. The RODs in
this data set may represent particularly difficult
cleanup problems as the cost savings per ROD
were found to be higher, on average, than the cost
per ROD throughout the Superfund Program.
To estimate SITE Program net benefits,
the 1993-1995 RODs and the SITE Program
budget were first inflated to the end of 1996
using CPI figures and then normalized to 1986
end-of-year levels using a 7 percent discount
rate, as specified in Office of Management and
Budget-Circular A-94. The 1986 date was
selected as the baseline since the SITE Program
was initiated in 1986. The total discounted cost
-------
savings for RODs from 1993-1995 was $780
million. For comparison, the total discounted
SITE Program budget from 1986-1996 was $100
million. This comparison represents an estimated
cost savings of over $680 million for various site
cleanups.
Figure 1 also indicates the number of
innovative versus established treatment
technologies selected by year. This figure shows
that by the early 1990s, the interest in innovative
technologies as a sound remediation action was
increasing. Since 1993, the use of innovative
technologies has outpaced that of established
technologies, resulting in dramatic cost savings.
Historical Vendor Accomplishments
Technology vendors are central part of the
SITE Program, providing services for sites
requiring clean-up solutions. Vendors experience
various benefits by participating in the SITE
Program, namely increased market and
acceptance of innovative technologies is
demonstrated by the level of commercial activity
experienced by SITE Program vendors. For
example, a 1994 vendor survey indicated that
commercial vendors completing SITE
demonstration projects reported 533 contract
awards comprised of 395 non-Superfund and 138
Superfund jobs. Seventeen percent of the
vendors conducted international activities through
independent commercial contracts or joint
ventures. Figure 2 provides a breakdown of these
jobs.
As part of a SITE Program evaluation in
1996, 77 vendors were questioned regarding
company revenues. Roughly 50 percent of the
respondents claimed a 20 to 75 percent increase
in revenues as a result of SITE Program
involvement. Following participation in the
SITE Program, most vendors were awarded
from one to five Superfund remediation jobs and
one to five non-Superfund remediation jobs. For
1996, 30 percent of the SITE Program vendors
reported one to two international contracts, nearly
doubling the 17 percent of 1994. Respondents
identified 20 countries where bids were
submitted.

Innovative Technology Highlights
SITE Program Case Studies
This section presents case studies of
innovative remediation technologies for vendors
that have participated in the SITE Program
through either the Emerging Technology
Program (Case Studies 1 through 3) or the
Demonstration Program (Case Studies 4 through
6). The case studies provide brief descriptions
on the use and status of various technologies and,
where available, general information on the cost
of applying each technology. These case studies
represent the SITE Program's approach to
promoting innovative technologies by identifying
user needs. For example, acquiring sufficient
funding for site remediation through conventional
means can prove difficult. Therefore,
demonstrations involving low-cost technologies
are always of great interest. Phytoremediation
(see Case Study 2), which involves the use of
plants to address contamination in soil, is a
popular research subject at present due to its
obvious potential for low implementation and
maintenance costs. Oily contaminated liquids
spilled onto concrete surfaces are difficult to
cleanup, limiting the future use of buildings with
this type of contamination. Case Study 6
provides the details on a technology capable of
removing these materials from concrete down to
a few inches below the surface, through a low-
cost, simple application.
The technologies presented in these case
studies are typical of the SITE Program and
represent SITE'S remediation problem focus,
driven by the needs of the hazardous waste
community. These technologies represent real
or potential solutions to cleanup problems.
Case Study 1: Adsorption-lntegrated-
Reaction Process (KSE,
Inc.)
The Adsorption-Integrated-Reaction
Process (AIR-II) is used to treat air streams
contaminated with dilute concentrations of
chlorinated and nonchlorinated volatile organic
compounds (VOC) through adsorption and
photocatalytic oxidation. The AIR-II system
yields lower total system costs than either thermal
incineration or catalytic oxidation, and is self-
contained and mobile.
In the AIR-II system, contaminated air is
directed into a photocatalytic reactor, where
VOCs bind to the surface of a catalytic adsorbent
that is continuously illuminated by ultraviolet
light. With oxygen present in the surrounding air
acting as a reactant, VOCs are destroyed by
enhanced photocatalytic oxidation.
Treated air exiting the photocatalytic
reactor contains water and carbon dioxide.
Hydrogen chloride and limited amounts of
chlorine may be present in the treated air if
chlorinated VOCs are treated. These
contaminants can be removed using conventional
adsorbents and scrubbers. The catalytic
adsorbent used in the AIR-II system is
regenerated by the system and, unlike traditional
carbon adsorption, does not require removal or
disposal for regeneration.
Waste Applicability
The AIR-II process is capable of
destroying a variety of VOCs, including aromatic
and aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers,
ketones, aldehydes, and chlorinated
12
-------
hydrocarbons. AIR-II can be used to treat VOCs
present in air at concentrations ranging from less
than 1 part per million (ppm) to thousands of
ppm. The process also can be used in
conjunction with several existing technologies
(soil vapor extraction, thermal desorption, or air
stripping) to treat media other than air including
soils, sludges, and groundwater.
Status
Because of its potential to dramatically
reduce the costs of treating air streams containing
VOCs, the AIR-II process was accepted into the
SITE ETP in 1995. A pilot-scale evaluation of
the technology was conducted at Loring Air
Force Base as part of a soil vapor extraction
operation to remove perchloroethylene. The
destruction efficiency of perchloroethylene
during the demonstration was greater than 99.8
percent. Performance results were presented at
the 1996 World Environmental Congress. KSE's
AIR-II process was admitted into the
Demonstration Program in FY97, and a full-scale
demonstration will be conducted in FY98.
Case Study 2: Phytoremediation of
Contaminated Soils
(Phytokinetics, Inc.)
Various studies over the years have been
conducted on the process by which plants extract
materials from surrounding soils, and it has long
been theorized that this activity might be used to
cleanup contaminated sites. Phytoremediation
uses the natural ability of plants for in situ
remediation of contaminated soils, sediments,
and water. This case study specifically describes
the use of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) in
the remediation of surface soils contaminated
with organic chemical wastes.
Plants enhance biodegredation partly
because of root exudates (sugars, acids, alcohols,
and proteins), which are released by plants into
the soil. The exudates serve as a food source for
soil microorganisms in the rhizosphere (the zone
surrounding the plant root), causing increased
microbial activity. Microorganisms in
rhizosphere soils have been shown to be 10 to
100 times more active metabolically than those in
unplanted soils. Exudates contain enzymes that
can stimulate cometabolic transformations of
contaminants by soil microorganisms. Because
their fibrous root systems form a continuous
dense rhizosphere, grasses are ideal for
phytoremediation of surface soils. Furthermore,
plants are ideal in certain remediation scenarios
because they can stabilize soils against water and
wind erosion.
Waste Applicability
Phytoremediation is effective when
contaminant concentrations are not toxic to
plants, and contaminants are present in surficial
soil within the root zone of the plants (top 2 to 3
feet). Although phytoremediation is slower than
most conventional technologies (such as
excavation or ex situ treatments) and may require
several growing seasons, it can prove more cost
effective, especially for larger sites. Organic
contaminants are shown to be more rapidly
biodegraded in planted soils than unplanted soils.
Contaminants to which phytoremediation is
potentially applicable include polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCB), chlorinated solvents,
nitroaromatic explosives, insecticides, and certain
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).
Status
The Phytokinetics, Inc. phytoremediation
technology was accepted into the ETP in 1995
for a 2-year greenhouse and field trial, with field
trials beginning in 1996. Soil containing PCBs
and PAHs was collected from the field study site
for the greenhouse study. Results for the
greenhouse experiment indicated that the
presence of plants on contaminated soil increased
the rate of removal of certain contaminants from
the soil. Results of the greenhouse study indicated
that, the concentrations of PCB and some PAHs
after 2 months were significantly lower in soil
with perennial ryegrass than soil without the
ryegrass. In the field test, no significant
difference was found in concentrations of
contaminants present in planted soils and in
unplanted soils. Results in the field have been
13
-------
affected by an uneven distribution of
contaminants. Phytokinetics has not determined
why the results varied between the two studies.
Phytoremediation is an emerging technology that
is currently in research and development.
Case Study 3: Biomineralization -
Biological Immobilization
of Metals (Pintail Systems,
Inc.)
Ore waste containing heavy metals is
present at various operating and former mining
sites throughout the world. Heavy metals leached
from these ores are often carried to adjacent
streams and soil by storm water runoff,
presenting large-scale and costly remediation
problems. A binding process termed
"biomineralization" that could prevent the
washing away of heavy metals from waste ore
was considered a potential solution.
Biomineralization is the formation and
deposition of minerals mediated by living
organisms. Pintail Systems, Inc. (PSI), has
identified processes using active, bioaugmented
organisms in soil, waste, or groundwater to form
mineral groupings from dissolved or teachable
metals. Dissolved metals are treated in solution
using ex situ biological reactors, while teachable
metals in soil, spent ore, and waste solids are
treated in situ using a biosolution application.
Biomineralization occurs through the
following sequence: (1) bacteria added to ore or
soil attach to particle surfaces forming a
"bioslime" layer; (2) soluble metals bind to cell
walls and to products excreted by the
microorganisms; (3) metal hydroxides, oxides,
sufides, and carbonates are formed in the primary
bioslime layer as mineral precursors; (4) as the
mineral precursors stabablize, they provide a
template for further mineralization. The
biomineralization appears to follow a sequential
and "layered" development on many surfaces,
with outer biomineral layers tending to be more
metal-enriched and mineralogically complex than
inner layers.
In the short term, biominerals have been
shown to be stable and resistant to leaching.
Research is underway on the long-term stability
of the biominerals.
Waste Applicability
The PSI biomineralization process is
designed to treat solids and solutions containing
heavy metals. The process has proven effective
in treating spent ore, waste rock, and surface
water or groundwater containing dissolved heavy
metals.
Status
The PSI biomineralization technology is
still in the development phase, although
preliminary studies have suggested successful
treatment. For example, treatment of chromic
acid solutions containing about 220 ppm of
chromium resulted in a 99.9 percent reduction in
chromium content after a single pass through a
biomineralization column system. Treatment of
other metals, including cadmium, copper, iron,
mercury, selenium, silver, and zinc, has resulted
in reductions of over 90 percent. The PSI
technology has advanced to the Demonstration
Program, and a full-scale demonstration that
started in FY97 will continue through FY98.
Case Study 4:
Molecular Bonding
System (Solucorp
Industries Ltd.)
Similar to the goal of biomineralization in
reducing teachability of heavy metals, the
Molecular Bonding System (MBS) is a
solidification/stabilization (S/S) technology
developed by Solucorp Industries for the
treatment of metal-contaminated soils, sediments,
sludges, and other solid wastes. MBS does not
remove metal contaminants, but instead reduces
teachability by chemically stabilizing the metals.
The solid-phase chemical stabilization process of
MBS converts heavy metal compounds, such as
hydroxides, carbonates, and oxides, to less-
soluble metallic sulfides without modifying the
pH. The technology has been shown to reduce
the teachability of arsenic, cadmium, chromium,
14
-------
copper, lead, mercury, and zinc contained in
soils, sludges, sediments, and other solid waste.
Demonstration Results
A SITE demonstration was conducted in
Midvale, Utah at the Midvale Slag Superfund
sites during FY 96. The demonstration consisted
of treatment of about 1,500 tons of a mixture of
wastes and soils. The primary purpose of the
demonstration was to determine whether the
mean concentration of teachable lead was
reduced to below the regulatory limit of 5
miligrams per liter (mg/L) at a 90 percent
confidence interval. Data indicated that the
MBS process reduced the concentration of
teachable lead from an average of 29 mg/L in
untreated soils and wastes to an average of 1.25
mg/L. Using MBS resulted in an increase in
mean volume of the treated material by about 14
percent. The MBS process did not affect the total
metals concentrations.
Costs
The applicability of the MBS process
depends on the soil characteristics of the site to
be remediated, and site-specific treatability tests
should be conducted prior to using MBS
technology. At the Midvale Slag Superfund site,
treatment of soils and wastes with the MBS
system cost approximately $20 per ton of waste.
In contrast, the estimated cost using the
alternative stabilization/solidification of lime
and/or portland cement is $44 per ton.
Full-Scale Remediation
Prior to the SITE demonstration, the MBS
process was successfuly used at several sites. At
a pigment dye manufacturing site in Jersey City,
New Jersey, a MBS system was used to reduce
teachable lead concentrations from an average of
77 mg/L to a non-detectable level. Slag from a
brass manufacturing plant in Waterbury,
Connecticut was treated using the MBS process
to reduced teachable levels of lead from 33 mg/L
to nondetectable levels, and cadmium from 6
mg/L to nondetectable levels. The MBS process
has also been used for full-scale cleanups at sites
in West Virginia and Glasgow, Scotland.
Case Study 5: Metal-Enhanced
Dechlorination
(EnviroMetal
Technologies, Inc)
With a movement away from typical
pump-and-treat for remediation of ground water
contamination, technologies that are inexpensive
to implement and maintain have become a
primary focus of the remediation community.
Metal-enhanced dechlorination, developed by
EnviroMetal Technologies (ETI) of Canada and
the University of Waterloo in Canada, is a
groundwater remediation technology that
degrades chlorinated VOCs using an
electrochemical process that oxidizes iron while
chlorinated VOCs are reduced. This technology
is useful for in situ and ex situ treatments, and has
been shown to degrade such contaminants as
halogenated methanes, ethanes and ethenes.
Two methods of metal-enhanced
dechlorination are used: (1) a permeable
treatment wall, or (2) a funnel and gate
configuration. The permeable wall can be used
aboveground in a reactor (ex situ) or for in situ
treatments. For in situ use, a trench is excavated
perpendicular to the flow of contaminated
groundwater, and is then filled with the iron
medium. For the funnel and gate method, water
is directed to the iron wall (or gate) with a
sealable slurry wall (or funnel). This method
allows groundwater to be treated when it is
undesirable or impossible to build an iron wall
across the entire width of the groundwater
stream.
Demonstration Results
Starting in June and continuing through
December 1995, an in situ pilot-scale
demonstration of the EMT technology was
conducted by the SITE Program at a confidential
site in central New York. The primary objective
of the demonstration was to determine whether
the technology reduced the VOC concentrations
to regulatory levels in the groundwater. Some of
the VOC contaminants involved were vinyl
15
-------
chloride, trichloroethene (TCE), and cis-1,2-
dichloroethene (cDCE). Results indicated that
the concentrations of VOCs were significantly
reduced, with removal efficiencies of over 96
percent for vinyl chloride, over 99.1 percent for
TCE, and 98.6 percent for cDCE.
Costs
The cost to implement this technology is
site-specific and depends on contaminant
concentrations, the size of the plume to be
treated, and hydrogeologic characteristics. Total
costs for full-scale treatment using a continuous
reactive wall are estimated to be approximately
$18 per 1,000 gallons of water treated. The total
cost for a full-scale treatment using a funnel and
gate system is estimated at about $20 per 1,000
gallons of water treated.
Full-Scale Remediation
Metal-enhanced dechlorination was first
used in December 1994 at an industrial facility in
Califiornia. Since then, this technology has been
selected for use on over 11 different sites with
VOC contamination. Some of these sites include
a U.S. Coast Guard facility in North Carolina, a
semiconductor facility in San Francisco, and an
industrial facility in Kansas. The SITE
demonstration at the New York property resulted
in a full-scale cleanup. Instead of a typical
groundwater pump-and-treat system, a treatment
wall measuring 300 feet wide by 15 feet deep was
installed at the site at a cost of about $350,000.
Case Study 6: TechXtract Extraction
Technology (EET, Inc.)
The absence of a tool for effectively
removing oily liquid waste residue from concrete
limits the potential use of former industrial
buildings for purposes other than industrial
activity. In situations where contamination is
present, concrete floors are often replaced at a
high cost. The TechXtract Extraction
Technology (TechXtract) uses proprietary
chemical mixtures (TechXtract 100, 200, and
300) to extract PCBs, heavy metals,
radionuclides, or hydrocarbons from the surface
or subsurface of solid materials such as floors,
walls, or equipment. The TechXtract process
involves two treatment cycles, and each treatment
cycle consists of (1) application,
(2) penetration, and (3) extraction. Application
involves spraying a fine mist of one of the
chemical mixtures onto the treatment surface.
Penetration involves working the chemical
mixture into the surface with an abrasive pad or
floor scrubber. After about 45 minutes, the
treatment surface is sprayed with a diluted
mixture of TechXtract 300, and then extracted
with a wet vacuum. The extracted treatment
chemicals and contaminants are then
containerized and disposed of in accordance with
applicable requirements.
The treatment cycles involve varying the
proprietary chemical mixtures to obtain desired
results. The cycles are usually alternated and
repeated as many times as necessary depending
on initial contaminant concentrations and
required cleanup levels. EET claims that
contaminant levels at the surface can be reduced
from 60 to 90 percent per treatment cycle.
Demonstration Results
The TechXtract technology was evaluated
under the SITE Program during February and
March 1997 at the Pearl Harbor Naval complex
in Hawaii, through a partnership with Pacific
Division of Naval Facilities Engineering
(PACDIV) and the Pearl Harbor Public Works
Center (PWC). The evaluation site was a former
air raid shelter containing a concrete floor
contaminated with PCBs, a result of operation
and maintenance of an electrical transformer.
The TechXtract technology was applied to about
124 square feet of contaminated concrete.
The primary objectives of the SITE
demonstration were to (1) determine if the
technology could reduce PCB concentrations
from about 5,000 micrograms per 100 square
centimeters (wg/100cm2), and (2) determine if the
technology could extract PCBs from up to 2
inches below the concrete surface. Pre- and post-
treatment wipe samples were collected for
analyses to determine the PCB concentrations
16
-------
before and after treatment.
Wipe sample results indicated that the
TechXtract technology was able to reduce surface
concentrations of PCBs by greater than 99
percent. Concrete core samples did not show
substantial reductions in PCBs at depth, which
was likely due to subsurface PCB concentrations
well above the treatability range for the
technology.
Costs
The cost for using the TechXtract
technology during the SITE demonstration was
estimated at $39 per square foot. EET claims this
estimate was high because the contaminant
concentration levels were higher than the
technology's claimed treatability range.
Estimated costs for treating PCB-contaminated
concrete within EET's treatability range are $18
per square foot for a 124-square-foot area, and
about $9 per foot for a 10,000-square-foot area.
Treatment costs are affected by contaminant type,
size and makeup of the treatment area, the initial
contaminant concentration at the surface and at
depth of contamination, and cleanup goals.
Full-Scale Remediation
TechXtract has been used for over 250
field applications and can be customized for
unique problems. At a DOE facility with PCB
contamination over a 20,000-square-foot area,
prior cleaning methods had proven unsuccessful.
After applying TechXtract, the area met
regulatory cleanup standards, with PCBs found
nondetectable over 85 percent of the area. At a
concrete area at a DOE uranium enrichment
facility, uranium and technetium were present at
levels as high as 14 million disintegration per
minute per 100 square centimeters (dpm/100
cm2). After treatment with TechXtract,
concentrations were reduced to less that 5,000
dpm/100 cm2. Other contracts have included the
removal of hydrocarbons and solvents from
concrete test cells.

FY97 Progress and Accomplishments
Demonstration Program
The objective of the Demonstration
Program is to conduct field demonsrtations and
high-quality performance verifications of viable
remediation technologies at sites that pose high
risks to human health and/or the environment, are
common throughout a region or the nation, or
where existing remediation methods are
inadequate or too costly. The SITE Program
solicits applications annually from those
responsible for cleanup operations at hazardous
waste sites. Respondents and these individuals
have the option of suggesting one or more
technologies. A panel of SITE Program
scientists, engineers, and associated
environmental experts reviews the applications to
identify those technologies that best represent
solutions for the most pressing environmental
problems. The resulting data and reports are
intended for use by decision-makers in selecting
remediation options and for increased credibility
in innovative applications.
The need for credible and reliable data for
innovative technologies remains significant. For
example, of the 80 RODs signed in 1994 that
selected established technologies as the best
alternative, 16 (or 20 percent) considered an
innovative technology as an alternative for
remediation of the site. The majority of the RODs
indicated that innovative technologies were not
chosen due to a lack of verified performance and
implementability. The SITE Program serves to
fill this need for credible evaluations.
During the first 10 years of the SITE
Program, an emphasis was placed on innovative
technologies for permanent treatment that usually
required the removal of soil or groundwater.
Most field demonstrations during this period in
the Program's history involved ex situ
physical/chemical and thermal technologies that
could be field tested in a matter of days or weeks.
The need for innovative, in situ technologies, that
provide more cost-effective approaches to
remediation will continue to increase. The SITE
Program has recognized this need and has
emphasized the development of in situ
technologies. As shown in Figure 5, 64
completed SITE projects have been ex situ and 31
in situ. Of the 21 ongoing or planned
demonstrations, 15 are in situ., while only six are
ex situ (see Figure 5).
Field demonstration and evaluation of in
situ technologies may require several months or
years of data collection. Based on the SITE
Program's increased emphasis on in situ
technologies, the number of ongoing
demonstrations will likely increase, with fewer
moving from ongoing to completed status each
year than in the past. It is estimated that six field
demonstrations will be completed each year.
During FY97, four new innovative
technologies were evaluated in the field. Due to
an unusual budgetary year, the annual SITE
Program solicitation was not announced in FY96.
Only ongoing field projects initiated prior to
FY96 were completed. Completed projects are
listed in Table 1. A list of ongoing projects is
provided in Table 2.
Emerging Technology Program
The SITE ETP was discontinued in 1996
due to reductions in funding to the Superfund
research and development budget. The SITE
program continues to honor commitments to
technology developers currently in the ETP but

no new technologies were admitted into the
program after 1995. The ETP fosters the research
and development of innovative technologies for
remediation of Superfund and other hazardous
waste sites. Technologies enter the program at the
bench- or pilot-scale stage of development. EPA
provides developers the opportunity to advance a
technology from bench- and pilot-scale testing to
demonstration.
Technologies were solicited yearly for the
ETP through requests for proposals. Selected
candidates were invited to submit a Cooperative
Agreement application that underwent full
technical review. Applications were considered
for a Cooperative Agreement with a duration of
up to 2 years, with funding of $150,000 per year
with a $300,000 maximum. Second year funding
depended on significant progress during the first
year. Upon completion of the ETP, technologies
were considered for the SITE Demonstration
Program. Many technology vendors chose to
fully commercialize their technologies after
participating in the ETP.
Nine solicitations were issued from
November 1987 (E01 Solicitation) to July 1995
(E09 Solicitation). A total of 77 technology
development projects were initiated under the
ETP, and 66 projects have been completed.
Eighteen of the ETP projects are in the SITE
Demonstration Program. To date, seven of the
demonstration projects have been completed and
12 are ongoing. The completed emerging
technology projects for FY97 are listed in
TableS.
Monitoring and Measurement Technologies
Program
The MMT Program has leveraged its
resources with EPA's Environmental Technology
Verification (ETV) Program. These two
programs, known collectively as the Consortium
for Site Characterization Technologies, have
developed a partnership with the DOE.
Resources from the SITE Program are used solely
for those technologies addressing hazardous
waste. This partnership will help to address the
demands on the MMT Program and reduce the
backlog of applications submitted by developers
of innovative technologies.
To further advance the MMT Program, a
stakeholder group was formed to assist in
outreach activities and in the selection of

acoustic waveform that runs against the flow of gas at
a high temperature. The waveform pushes the
particulates in the opposite direction of the gas flow,
causing them to collect on the wall of the separator
and fall into a collection hopper. This technology is
applicable in removal of gas-born solids in off-gas
streams from incineration of solid and liquid media,
thermal desorption, and pyrolysis. This process is
currently being demonstrated on a pilot-scale level.

The Reactor Filter System (RFS) controls the gaseous
and particulate emissions that are released during
thermal treatment of contaminated sludges, soils, and
sediments. The RFS uses a fabric filter to control
products of incomplete combustion such as toxic
metals and unburned organic species. Bench-scale
and pilot-scale demonstrations have been completed.
Thermal
technologies. An advocates program involving
the EPA Regional offices was also established to
assist in the MMT demonstration process and to
ensure that the products of the demonstrations
address EPA issues.
Technology Verification Process
The technology verification process is designed
to generate high-quality data that can be used by
EPA to verify technology performance. Four key
steps are inherent in the process:
Needs identification and technology
selection
Demonstration planning and
implementation
Report preparation
Information distribution
Needs Identification and Technology Selection
The first aspect of the technology verification
process is to determine the most important
technology needs of EPA and the regulated
community. EPA, the Department of Defense,
DOE, industry, and state agencies are asked to
identify technology needs and interest in a
technology area. Once a technology need is
established, a search is conducted to identify
suitable technologies that will address the need.
The technology search and identification process
consists of reviewing responses to Commerce
Business Daily announcements, searches of
industry and trade publications, attendance at
related conferences, and leads from technology
developers. MMTs are evaluated against the
following criteria:
*• Meets regulatory or user needs
> May be used in the field or in a mobile
laboratory
*• Applicable to a wide variety of
environmentally impacted sites
*• High potential for resolving problems for
which current methods are unsatisfactory
*• Costs are competitive with current
methods
*• Performance is better than current
methods in areas such as data quality,
sample preparation, or analytical
turnaround time
*• Uses techniques that are easier and safer
than current methods
*• Is a commercially available, field-ready
technology
Demonstration Planning and Implementation
After a technology has been selected, EPA, the
support contractor, and the technology developer
agree to responsibilities for conducting the
demonstration and evaluating the technology.
The following issues are addressed at this time:
> Identifying demonstration sites that will
provide the appropriate physical or
chemical attributes, in the desired
environmental media
> Identifying and defining the roles of
demonstration participants, observers, and
reviewers
*• Determining logistical and support
requirements (for example, field
equipment, power and water sources,
mobile laboratory, or communications
network)
*• Arranging analytical and sampling support
*• Preparing and implementing a
24
-------
demonstration plan that addresses
the experimental design, sampling
design, quality assurance/quality
control (QA/QC), health and
safety considerations, scheduling
of field and laboratory operations,
data analysis procedures, and
reporting requirements
Report Preparation
Innovative technologies are evaluated
independently and, when possible, against
reference technologies. The field technologies
are operated by the developers in the presence of
independent technology observers. The
technology observers are provided by EPA or a
third party group. Demonstration data are used to
evaluate the capabilities, limitations, and field
applications of each technology. Following the
demonstration, all raw and reduced data used to
evaluate each technology are compiled into a
technology evaluation report, which is mandated
by EPA as a record of the demonstration. A data
summary and performance evaluation of each
technology are published in an Environmental
Technology Verification Report (ETVR).
Demonstrations in FY97
During FY97, ETVRs were completed for
six field portable, X-ray fluorescence
technologies demonstrated under the MMT
Program in FY96. The technologies are used to
evaluate the presence of, and concentrations of
various heavy metals in solid wastes and soil. In
FY97, demonstrations were conducted for four
soil sampling technologies and two soil gas
sampling technologies. Developers and their
associated technologies participating in these
demonstrations are shown in Table 4. The
technologies were demonstrated in Albert City,
Iowa and Commerce City, Colorado. Individual
reports (ETVRs) have been prepared for each
technology. These reports have been peer-
reviewed and will be published in the third
quarter of FY 98.
Ongoing Demonstrations
The MMT Program is in the first stage of
identifying sediment sampling technology
candidates for a demonstration to be conducted
during the first quarter of FY 99. Because
sediment sample collection and analysis play an
important role in ecological risk assessment
studies, as well as wetland protection, the science
and practice of sediment sampling is of
considerable interest to EPA Regional and
Program Offices. This MMT project will identify
and test various innovative sediment sampling
devices that may prove to be more efficient or
cost-effective than current technologies. The
performance of each technology will be
compared to commonly used, conventional
procedures. The demonstration will also collect
information describing the ease of operation, cost
and other relevant performance characteristics of
these devices. The demonstration results will
assist EPA and others in the understanding and
use of alternate sediment sampling technologies
and will enhance the commercial development of
these devices.
Planned Demonstrations
The quality of surface and finished water
is an essential factor in maintaining human and
environmental health. Various chemical
parameters can be used to evaluate the quality of
water. For example, dissolved oxygen content
is often used as an indicator of the health of an
aquatic environment. A number of new and
portable devices have been proposed to measure
various chemical indicators more accurately
andinexpensively. Because of the importance of
effective water quality monitoring, the MMT
Program is planning a demonstration to evaluate
the performance of these devices during FY99.

Future Direction
During FY97, the SITE Program began
operating under a new approach. The SITE
Program began soliciting those interested in
verifying the cost and performance of innovative
technologies applicable to their specific site.
The approach is designed to provide those
responsible for technical and financial
management of hazardous waste sites with
dependable, defensible data for use in the
selection of remediation alternatives.
Dependable, defensible data for use in the
selection of remediation alternatives remains the
SITE Program's foundation.
Key features to the program include the
following:
most pressing issues are prioritized and addressed.
Emphasis on host site selection
Option to evaluate one or more
technologies at each site
Quality data collection and
analysis
Cost- and performance-based
information
To determine remediation community
needs, SITE established a remediation
stakeholder group to review applications and
develop an environmental emphasis area list. The
review group is comprised of individuals from
DOD Environmental Security and Technology
Certification Program (ESTCP), Environmental
Management Program, EPA Office of Solid
Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER),
including Regional representation and State
Agencies through the Western Governors
Association (WGA)-sponsored Interstate
Technology and Regulatory Workgroup (ITRC).
This wide range of representation ensures that the
Site selection and technology
demonstrations that meet the user
community needs is essential.
Technology Areas of Primary Interest
In FY96, four priority areas for the
Demonstration Program were identified:
(1) organic and inorganic groundwater
contamination; (2) metals in soils, sludge and
sediments; (3) petroleum contamination in
combination with other compounds; and
(4) recalcitrant organics with low water solubility
(for example PAHs, PCBs and pesticides).
Based on recommendations by the SITE
Program review group, the list has been expanded
considerably in FY97 (Figure 6). This list will be
reviewed and updated yearly by the SITE
Program remediation review group. The most
significant changes are in the areas of dense
nonaqueous-phase liquids (DNAPLs) in difficult
geological formations, sediments, and in situ
technology evaluation (for example, new material
or processes, evapotranspiration covers). Many
new areas for FY99 also were identified. This
includes areas or media where the remediation
community would benefit from new processes or
less expensive methods for treatment.
As noted in the previous section, ETVRs
will be generated in FY98 under the MMT
Program for the six soil sampling technologies
shown in Table 4. Based on concerns over
contamination of river and lake sediments, FY99

will feature demonstrations of innovative
technologies for sediment sampling and
evaluation. The MMT Program is also
considering technologies for evaluating
petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in soil. To
reduce costs and the amount of waste generated
from monitoring remediation efforts, the long-
term goals of the program will likely involve
demonstrations of nonintrusive and in situ
monitoring technologies, such as those involving
geophysics and biosensing techniques.
Technology Field Demonstrations
Objectivity and quality data collection during
the field demonstration of innovative treatment
technologies remains the strength of the SITE
Program. The importance of SITE Program
involvement revolves around the benefits to those
responsible for hazardous waste site cleanup.
The data regarding innovative technologies are
essential to the development of new and less
expensive methods that can effectively treat
hazardous media. A unique feature of the SITE
Program's new approach is the solicitation for
sites interested in verifying the cost and
performance of cutting-edge innovative
technologies that fit within identified
environmental emphasis areas. This solicitation
serves to (1) focus on technology needs of the
user community, and (2) assist sites in cleaning
up real problems. Another unique feature is that
the hosting site has the option to try more than
one innovative solution during the SITE
demonstration.
Flexibility in matching technologies and
sites remains a required service. In the first year
of operation under this approach, the SITE
Program selected three projects. Each of these
projects is unique and addresses an
environmental area identified as a priority by the
SITE Program. Representatives of two of the
sites have identified specific technologies for
demonstration on their sites. Representatives of
the third site chose to solicit and demonstrate
multiple technologies. A description of
demonstrations planned at the three sites is
presented in Table 5.
Information Transfer
Information transfer is accomplished
through a number of mechanisms. Published
documentation, meetings, and conferences remain
an essential part of technical information
dissemination. Coordination with existing
remediation workgroups and programs is also
essential. The SITE Program continues to work
cooperatively with the Rapid Commercialization
Initiative (RCI) workgroup, DOD's ESTCP
Program, DOE's Environmental Management
Program, and the WGA sponsored ITRC
workgroup.
Internet service allows for quick and
easily accessible information, and saves time and
costs in publication. The SITE Program
established a homepage early in FY 97 to serve
this purpose. General program information is
accessible as well as quarterly reports, most
recent documents, program highlights and the
technology profiles of the vendors participating
in the program. As a result of the SITE
homepage, the number of documents printed have
been reduced by 50%. The monthly average
number of requests for electronic information
from the SITE homepage, according to Web
Server Statistics, is 400. Numerous requests
come from outside the United States, reflecting
an increased international interest in the SITE
Program. By FY 98, all SITE documents will be
loaded onto the web.
The program will continue pursuing the
development of document summaries in areas
where data exits on a variety of technologies or
applications. This information will allow the user
community to compare these technologies, along
with their costs and application. One of the first
will address permeable reactive barrier walls and
thermal technologies. Documentation will take
some time since many of the new technology are
in-situ and more complex. In-situ technologies
are evaluated for a minimum of 3 to 6 months.
Most are evaluated for one year. In the case of
phytoremediation, growing seasons span a 2-3
year period. The summaries will need updating
as the technology matures and information
becomes available.

treatment technologies to include site characterization
technologies in order to improve the remediation
process. TIO has encouraged and relied on
cooperative ventures with other partners to accomplish
many of its goals. This effort to effectively use
resources has led to numerous joint efforts that have
enhanced the state of both remediation and site
characterization. For additional information about TIO,
