DoD Environmental Quality Mission and
Challenges
The Department of Defense's Environmental
Quality Research, Development, Testing, and
Evaluation (EQ RDT&E) program is based on
four requirements that constitute the pillars of
DoD's environmental security mission. DoD is
required to:
(1) Cleanup hazardous wastes resulting from
past practices at active, formerly used, and to-
be-closed military sites;
(2) Comply with laws by controlling hazardous
emissions from its systems and operations;
(3) Prevent pollution through substitutions of
materials and processes to significantly
reduce or eliminate the generation of
pollutants; and
(4) Conserve natural and cultural resources
through proper stewardship and management.
Cleanup. DoD has identified 17,660 potentially
contaminated sites at 1,877 DoD installations and
6,786 formerly used defense sites (FUDs). Of
these, about 7,000 will require cleanup. DoD
estimates that nearly all sites have been identified
and that cleanup of the sites will be completed by
2011. Design and construction work will increase
through 1998, then moderate until all cleanup is
completed. The most common contaminants at
DoD sites are: petroleum products, solvents,
metals, pesticides, and paints. Some sites also
contain more unusual wastes, such as unexploded
ordnance or low-level radioactive materials.
Compliance. DoD must meet all regulatory
requirements established by law relating to air,
water, and land discharges. Many compliance
deadlines have been met with best-available but
costly technology; some operations continue
under temporary waivers. Experience suggests
that future regulations will likely be more
stringent, and compliance through emission
control will continue to be required, since it will
not be possible to eliminate all hazardous dis-
charge through pollution prevention strategies.
Pollution Prevention. DoD is required to reduce
waste streams through material substitution and
redesign of materials and processes that are
environmentally superior while continuing to be
functionally effective. The primary targets,
derived from the Toxic Release Inventory and
EPA's list of the 17 most toxic substances, are
volatile organic compounds, ozone depleting
substances, and hazardous/toxic materials.
Conservation. DoD must balance conflicting
demands of more space-intensive training on
diminishing military lands. Maintenance of
national infrastructure for flood control, naviga-
tion, and other Corps of Engineers national civil
works often result in competing uses for land
resources. Protection of coastal and marine
resources, while conducting operations for
military readiness, also presents challenges.
DoD, as "owners" of environmental problems,
and with both an interest in safeguarding the
public and the legal responsibility for its own
contamination, requires more effective and less
costly technologies to address environmental
security. DoD has an interest in the accelerated
development and implementation of cost-effective
advanced technologies since it must provide
timely solutions for its mission-unique technology
needs and its other extensive, costly, complex,
and risky environmental needs.
DoD recognizes the need for competent in-house
people for smart technology buying from acade-
mia, industry, or other agencies. Such competence
can only be maintained by active pursuit of
research and development in its laboratories and
centers and simultaneous pursuit of scientific
understanding of issues, processes, and continued
advances in technology, coupled with rigorous
testing and evaluation through an integrated

DoD Problem Areas and Development Mission Objectives
Problem Definition
Development Objectives
CLEANUP
The remediation of soil, sediment, groundwater, surface
water, and structures contaminated with hazardous and toxic
materials from past military activities.
Provide new or improved cost effective methods to identify,
evaluate, treat, control, and mitigate past hazardous and
toxic materials disposal practices in three areas: site inves-
tigation/characterization; remediation; and environmental
contaminant and effects.
COMPLIANCE
EQ requirements relating to air, water, and land pollution
through the control, treatment, and disposal of solid and
hazardous wastes. Primary areas of emphasis are industrial
activities, solid and liquid discharges from ships, and envi-
ronmentally sound disposal of pyrotechnics, explosives, and
propellants.
Technologies for advanced end-of-pipe control, treatment,
and disposal of wastes to meet air, water, and land require-
ments. R&D is focused on characterization of pollutant and
waste behavior, media-specific control and treatment tech-
nologies, and monitoring and assessment tools. To meet
existing and future national/international regulatory con-
straints otherwise inhibiting the DoD mission.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
Elimination and/or minimization of materials and materials
development processes that produce or release hazardous,
toxic, or excess wastes into the environment.
Technology in the form of materials, processes, and func-
tional products allowing the eventual elimination of the use
of VOC, ODC, and HAZMAT materials and processes in
DoD maintenance, overhaul, and remanufacture of new
weapons systems.
CONSERVATION
Maintaining optimum training, testing, and operational
mission effectiveness by stewardship and preservation of the
natural and cultural resources on DoD lands.
Enhanced and continued testing and training mission effec-
tiveness through effective management of ecological and
cultural resources diversity and productivity. Advanced

analysis and improved mitigation and rehabilitation mea-
sures.
research and development program. Integration is
provided through existing mechanisms led by
Defense laboratories' balance of intramural and
extramural activities.
DoD Environmental Quality RDT&E Process
DoD's EQ RDT&E effort is almost totally
executed by the Services through Civil & Envi-
ronmental Engineering, Combat Material, and
Corporate laboratories. These laboratories provide
the technical expertise to enable the Services to be
smart buyers and users of new and improved
technologies. Each laboratory generally performs
the environmental work required by the primary
weapon, platform, or installation mission it
supports. For example:
• The Air Force Research Laboratory's Airbase
and Environmental Technology Division and
the Naval Air Warfare Center share the lead
on environmental work for aviation and mari-
time aviation. ,
* The Naval Surface Warfare Center does envi-
ronmental RDT&E for ships in support of
NAVSEA, the acquisition and life-cycle
manager for surface weapons systems.
• The U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Exper-
iment Station (WES), where cleanup RDT&E
is executed, is under the Command of Head-
quarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
which administers the cleanup program for
the Army.
In the continuous dialogue between technology
users and R&D producers, the laboratories
interpret science and technology to enable users
to separate the R&D requirement from needs that
can be addressed through existing and available
technology. User stated requirements are cross-
checked' for commonality by the Tri-Service
Project Reliance Joint Engineers' Panel teams for
the four environmental security mission pillars.
These pillars are comprised of R&D engineers
and scientists from each Service who also sit on
parallel teams of the interagency Strategic

Environmental Research and Development
Program (SERDP) (see p. 18). The personnel on
the teams possess the subject matter expertise to
understand the technology, interpret the require-
ments to create balanced and focused joint
projects and evaluate technical program proposals
for inclusion in SERDP, the Environmental
Security Technology Certification Program
(ESTCP, see p. 14), and other agency programs.
The teams provide for DoD inter-laboratory
integration and the leveraging of technical
concepts, programs, and talents to create projects
for innovative dual use technology, while
providing for DoD user requirements.
'«•'
Laboratory personnel play a key role in technol-
ogy shortfall need identification and assisting
field commands to understand and solve urgent
problems requiring emerging technologies from
any source. Laboratory scientists and engineers
communicate their R&D accomplishments and
DoD technology needs to professional, trade, and
academic forums through scientific or technical
papers and numerous other exchanges. The
research engineers and scientists link their
laboratories with field users and external suppli-
ers of science and technology from industry,
academia, and other agencies. This communica-
tion interaction that underlies the more formal
and visible user requirements development and
approval processes is the work of people who
have ready access to peer organizations, the
private sector, and the users who need their
advice. They also have access to industry and
academia peers to facilitate their understanding of
DoD's specific needs and constraints.
The DoD Cleanup Pillar R&D Structure is
appended to this section (see p. 5).
Defense Environmental Restoration
Program
DoD cleanup policy is determined centrally under
the Defense Environmental Restoration Program
(DERP). DERP includes two major components:
Other Hazardous Waste Operations (OHW) and
the Installation Restoration Program (IRP). Under
the IRP, DoD performs all required contaminated
site cleanups. Although policy direction and
oversight of IRP are responsibilities of the Deputy
Assistant Secretary of Defense, each Service
(Army, Navy, Air Force) is responsible for
program implementation.
DERP has specified procedures for evaluating
sites and procuring cleanup services under IRP
that follow EPA guidelines for site investigations
and remediation. These procedures cover all
phases of site operations, including preliminary
assessment/site inspection (PA/SI), remedial
investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS), and reme-
dial design/and remedial action (RD/RA).
Nearly all DoD assessment and remediation work
is done through contractors. Generally, there are
two types of contractors: those engaged in site
assessments and investigations (PA/SI through
RI/FS) and those that perform cleanups (RD/RA).
Contractors that work on PA/SIs and PJ/FSs
seldom work on the RD/RA phase.
In selecting and designing remedies, DoD
officials coordinate with EPA Regional officials
to ensure that cleanup goals meet regulatory
requirements. Most contracting is done on an
installation-oriented basis, either through cen-
tralized contracting service centers or directly by
the installation. Although each Service follows
general procedures specified by DERP, each
procures its own services.
DoD spends approximately $15 million annually
on RTD&E, primarily to demonstrate promising
technologies. Technologies demonstrated include:
bioventing, in situ aerobic and anaerobic
bioremediation, monitored natural attenuation, in
situ and ex situ vapor extraction, in situ soil
venting, chemical detoxification of chlorinated
aromatic compounds, incineration of soil
contaminated with explosives, infrared thermal
destruction, low temperature thermal stripping,
thermal destruction, radio frequency thermal soil
decontamination, and composting of
explosives-contaminated soil.

U.S. Army Defense Environmental
Restoration Program
The U.S. Army Environmental Center (AEC) is
responsible for program management of the IRP
to include program, fiscal, and technical
oversight. USAGE develops the annual and
multiyear IRP workplans based on MACOM
requirements, provides assistance to MACOMs in
development and quality assurance of
requirements through the Installation Action
Plans, and monitors and evaluates MACOM
performance against the funded requirements.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
performs most phases of project execution. The
DoD Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) are
administered by USAGE.
U.S. Air Force Major Commands
The Air Force IRP is decentralized. It is executed
by the Air Force Major Commands. Each may
obtain specialized technical support from
contractors in one of three ways: through task-
order contracts administered by five contract
service centers; through individual contracts
issued by the commands themselves; or by
individual installations. Much of the Air Force's
restoration work is being conducted by the Army
Corps of Engineers. In the future, the Air Force
plans to issue contracts for this work.
U.S. Navy Facilities Engineering Command
The Navy Facilities Engineering Command
(NAVFAC) manages the Navy IRP. Day-to-day
operations of the IRP are conducted by ten field
divisions that operate within distinct geographical
boundaries. The majority of the IRP work is being
done by support contractors under two distinct
contract mechanisms, each managed by the field
divisions:
• Comprehensive Long-Term Environmental
Action Navy (CLEAN) contracts for procur-
ing remedial study and design services.
• Remedial Action Contracts (RACs) for
procuring remedial cleanup services.

U.S. Department of Energy Cleanup Programs
Environmental Restoration Program Needs
DOE's Environmental Restoration Program is
responsible for cleaning up 110 major installa-
tions and other locations. DOE estimates that
remediation may be required at about 4,000 of its
contaminated areas or sites. Most sites have been
used for nuclear weapons research, development,
and production. DOE installations tend to be
much larger than non-DOE sites. Twenty-three
DOE sites are listed on the Superfund National
Priorities List.
Key considerations of DOE's Environmental
Restoration program include the following:
• Most of the DOE cleanup effort is occurring
at 64 installations managed under the Reme-
dial Actions Program.
» Some contaminants at DOE installations are
unique to nuclear production, while others are
common to more typical industrial processes.
Mixed waste (containing both radioactive and
non-radioactive constituents) is a widespread
problem.
• The Decontamination and Decommissioning
Program will involve up to 1,000 facilities.
This program manages retired government-
owned facilities such as reactors, laboratories,
buildings, and storage tanks.
» DOE conducts research and development,
primarily in the form of demonstrations of
technologies such as in situ bioremediation,
air stripping, vitrification, soil washing,
solvent extraction, solar detoxification, and
above-ground biological treatment.
Contractors perform virtually all cleanup and
restoration work at DOE installations. DOE
awards remedial action contracts on a site-by-site
basis. These contracts are managed by DOE's
Operations Offices. Depending on the site,
contractors may be responsible for management
tasks, actual cleanup work, waste management
duties, or various combinations. For example,
contractors are responsible for day-to-day project
management under Environmental Restoration
Management Contracts (ERMCs) awarded at the
Hanford and Fernald sites. ERMC contractors
have the option of performing remedial investiga-
tion/feasibility studies themselves and are
responsible for subcontracting remaining work to
companies with specialized expertise and
technology.
DOE has begun to implement a number of
contract reforms that emphasize performance-
based approaches and risk sharing, provide
incentives for M&O contractors for cost-reduc-
tion and safety measures, and identify tasks that
should be undertaken by qualified subcontractors.
The first two integrated management contracts
awarded under the new system have been multi-
year efforts for management and cleanup of the
Idaho National Engineering Laboratory and
Rocky Flats sites.
Environmental Technology Development
Programs and Services
DOE provides a range of programs and services
to assist universities, industry, and other private
sector organizations and individuals interested in
developing or applying environmental technolo-
gies. Working with DOE Operations Offices, as
well as management and operating contractors,
EM employs a number of mechanisms to identify,
integrate, develop, and adapt promising emerging
technologies. These mechanisms include
collaborative arrangements, procurement
provisions, licensing of technologies, consulting
arrangements, reimbursable work for industry,
and special consideration for small business.
EM awards grants and cooperative agreements if
51 % or more of the value of the effort is related to
a public interest goal. Such goals include
advancement of present/future U.S. capabilities in
domestic and international environmental cleanup

markets, technology transfer, advancement of
scientific knowledge, or education and training of
individuals and businesses.
The Industry and University Programs Area (see
p. 21) is a primary DOE vehicle for funding
research and development partnerships with the
public and private sectors to introduce new
technologies into the programs managed by
DOE's Office of Science and Technology.
DOE uses several mechanisms under the above
Programs Area and otherwise to invite the private
sector to participate in its technology research and
development programs. These include
Cooperative Research and Development
Agreements (CRADAs) for collaborative R&D
with non-federal partners, and procurements for
technology development under Program Research
and Development Announcements (PRDAs) (see
p. 21) and Research Opportunity Announcements
(ROAs) (see p. 21). The Small Business Technol-
ogy Transfer Program (see p. 13) is a special pro
gram through which small businesses may
participate in the above programs. DOE also is
one of 11 federal agencies involved in the Small
Business Innovation Research Program, adminis-
tered by the Small Business Administration (see
p. 13).
CRADAs are agreements between a DOE or other
federal R&D laboratory and any non-federal
source to conduct cooperative R&D that is
consistent with the laboratory's mission. The
partner may provide funds, facilities, people, or
other resources. DOE provides the partner with
access to^ facilities and expertise; external
participants receive no federal funds. Rights to
inventions and other intellectual property are
negotiated between the laboratory and the
participant.
PRDAs are program announcements which solicit
a broad mix of advanced development and
demonstration proposals. A PRDA requests
proposals for a wide range of technical solutions
to specific EM problem areas. Multiple awards,
which may have distinct approaches or concepts,
are generally made.
The ROA seeks advanced research and technol-
ogies for a broad scope of cleanup needs and
supports applied research ranging from concept
feasibility to full-scale testing. Each ROA is open
continuously for a full year following the date of
issue and includes a partial procurement set-aside
for small businesses.
Developers and vendors of innovative technolo-
gies interested in more information about DOE's
technology development efforts should contact
the DOE's Center for Environmental Manage-
ment Information, toll-free, at 800-736-3282.
Technology Focus Areas
DOE recognizes that DOE cleanups provide an
opportunity for developers of innovative tech-
nologies. DOE's technology-related research and
development activities target five "Focus Areas"
that represent key remediation and waste man-
agement problems within the DOE complex. Five
areas for the development of cross-cutting
technologies also have been established.
Each Focus Area includes specific categories of
technologies that require research and develop-
ment. These are:
Subsurface Contaminants Focus Area, which
is developing technologies to address
environmental problems associated with
hazardous and radioactive contaminants in soil
and groundwater that exist throughout the DOE
complex, including radionuclides, heavy metals,
and dense, nonaqueous phase liquids. Numerous
contaminant plumes have contaminated soil and
groundwater. Some of these contaminants have
migrated from the numerous landfills at DOE
facilities, and SCFA is responsible for supplying
technologies for the remediation of radioactive
and hazardous buried waste, as well as for
developing new or alternative technologies for in
situ stabilization and nonintrusive
characterization of these sites. Technology
developed within this specialty area will provide
effective methods to contain contaminant plumes
and innovative technologies for remediating
contaminated soils and groundwater, with
DO NOT QUOTE OR CITE
-------
emphasis on in situ technologies to minimize
waste disposal costs and potential worker
exposure.
Mixed Waste Characterization, Treatment,
and Disposal Focus Area, which planned to
conduct a minimum of three pilot-scale demon-
strations of mixed waste treatment systems, using
actual mixed waste, by 1997.
Radioactive Tank Waste Remediation Focus
Area, which has concentrated on four DOE
installations where most DOE underground
storage tanks are located.
Facility Deactivation, Decontamination and
Material Disposal Focus Area, which is in the
process of selecting a site for a full-scale dem-
onstration of facility decommissioning technology
with an emphasis on the recycling of con-
taminated building materials for reuse within the
DOE complex.
Cross-cutting technologies are defined as those
which overlap the boundaries of Focus Areas, and
technologies developed in these areas will be used
in Focus Area testing and evaluations programs
wherever they are applicable. These areas are:
Characterization, Monitoring, and Sensor
Technology; Efficient Separations and
Processing; Robotics; Innovative Investment; and
Pollution Prevention.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Cleanup Programs
Hazardous Waste Cleanup Sites
The Superfund program for the cleanup of closed
or abandoned hazardous waste sites is adminis-
tered by EPA under the Comprehensive Envi-
ronmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (CERCLA). Since 1980, the primary re-
sponsibility for site cleanups has shifted from
EPA to responsible parties. Currently, almost
75% of all cleanups are being implemented by re-
sponsible parties, with EPA or state oversight.
Superfund emphasizes remedies that include the
use of hazardous waste treatment technologies.
The use of innovative technologies for Superfund
cleanup has been increasing. Innovative treatment
technologies currently account for more than half
of the treatment technologies selected for control-
ling waste sources.
EPA has an active research and demonstration
program for innovative cleanup technologies.
EPA's primary mechanisms for promotion of
innovative technologies for site remediation are
testing/verification programs such as the
Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation
(SITE) Program (see p. 26) and the Environ-
mental Technology Verification (ETV) Program
(see p. 24). EPA sponsors other interagency tech-
nology development programs and initiatives.
Remedies have not yet been selected for hundreds
of sites on the NPL. In addition, EPA estimates
that 80% of future sites (either on the NPL or
otherwise requiring remediation) will require
remediation of contaminated ground water, 74%
will require soil remediation, 15% sediments
remediation, and 10% sludge treatment. The data
available on these sites indicate the types and
extent of treatment technology applications
needed in the future:
• Volatile organic compounds are the most
common contaminants, followed by metals
and semi-volatile organic compounds.
• Chlorinated VOCs are the most common
organic contaminant, followed by other
VOCs, PCBs, PAHs, and phenols.
• The most common metal is lead, followed by
chromium, arsenic, and cadmium.
Based on contaminant occurrence and historical
technology trends, some general observations can
be made about the potential Superfund market for
specific technologies. These observations do not
necessarily consider several other important
factors in remedy selection, such as federal and
state cleanup standards, competing technologies,
other site characteristics, and public acceptance.
• Based on current trends, at least 30% of the
Superfund sites will implement innovative
technologies for some degree of source
control. Innovative technology use should
grow as more cost and performance data
become available.
• The use of SVE technologies for all types of
VOCs is expected to continue at current
levels, and may even increase.
• Thermal desorption for the treatment of
VOCs and PCBs may increase.
• The selection of bioremediation at Superfund
sites may increase.
• Alternatives to incineration for the treatment
of SVOCs are in demand.
• Treatment of metals in soil represents a
potentially large, but untapped, market for
innovative treatment.
• New in situ ground water treatment technol-
ogies are in great demand. Pump-and-treat
technologies often cannot achieve desired
cleanup goals.

RCRA Corrective Action Sites
Approximately 5,100 hazardous waste treatment,
storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) may be
subject to corrective action under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The
facility owners or operators are responsible for the
necessary corrective action, with oversight by
EPA or a state.
Between 1,500 and 3,500 of the regulated TSDFs
will require corrective action. A wide variety of
wastes, many of which are similar to those found
at Superfund sites, will require corrective action.
Some of the most prevalent wastes include
corrosive and ignitable wastes, heavy metals,
organic solvents, electroplating waste, and waste
oil.
About half of all RCRA corrective action facili-
ties use off-site disposal remedies and half use
innovative treatment. Of the innovative technol-
ogies, about one-third each are SVE, in situ bio-
remediation, and above-ground treatment, pri-
marily bioremediation.
Underground Storage Tank Sites
Underground storage tanks (USTs) containing
petroleum products or hazardous chemicals are
also regulated under RCRA. Tank owners are
responsible for remediation under state UST
programs. Major factors concerning UST site
remediation include the following:
• As of 1995, approximately 306,000 UST sites
require cleanup. Of these, 131,000 sites have
completed cleanups, leaving a universe of
170,000 requiring some level of cleanup. An
additional 100,000 releases are expected by
2000. There is an average of almost three
tanks per site. Per site cleanup costs range
from $10,000 to $125,000 for soil remediat-
ion and $100,000 to $1 million for ground
water remediation. At an average cost of
$125,000, the potential UST market could
reach $34 billion.
• Approximately 98% of USTs contain petro-
leum products and 2% contain hazardous
materials.
• About 68% of UST cleanups use innovative
technology. For sites contaminated with
petroleum, landfilling is used most frequently
at sites (one-third), followed by natural
attenuation, biopiles, soil vacuum
extraction,landfarming, and thermal
desorption. For sites with ground water
contamination, natural attenuation is the most
common remedy, followed by pump-and-
treat, air sparging, and in situ bioremediation.

of Commerce, fosters cooperative interaction of the private sector, states, and Federal agencies to help bring
environmental technologies to market more rapidly and efficiently. RCI acts as a gateway to other federal
agency programs that provide opportunities for environmental technology demonstration, verification, and
transfer. RCI provides in-kind assistance for selected companies with commercially-ready environmental
technologies in four categories: avoidance; control; monitoring and assessment; and remediation and resto-
ration.
The primary goal of RCI is to provide services to industry that help lower three key barriers to
commercialization:
(1) finding sites for full-scale technology demonstrations;
(2) evaluating and verifying technical performance and the cost of performance of technologies;
(3) promoting regulatory acceptance of verified data and expediting the permitting process.
The selection of technologies for participation in RCI programs centers on two criteria:
• The technology addresses environmental and market needs, with a focus on solutions to private
sector needs and added consideration for application to public sector environmental problems.
• There is a clear path to commercialization and the technology is only a few, final steps from
commercialization, such that testing, evaluation and verification will complete the process.
Marketing, financing, or production assistance are not available under RCI. Exemptions from federal laws
and regulations also are not available under RCI. Participants in RCI are selected through program
announcements and an intensive peer-review process that examines both technical and business soundness.

Technology Transfer Research Program
Coordinating Agency: U.S. Small Business Administration
Participating Agencies:
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Energy, U.S.
Department of Defense, others
The Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Program is a multi-media assistance program designed to
assist and promote U.S.-owned high technology companies with 500 or fewer employees. SBIR activities
are overseen by the Small Business Administration. Funding is provided to companies through grants and
contracts awarded by SBIR program offices in 11 Federal agencies. Each agency offers at least one SBIR
program solicitation annually that specifies the types of research to be funded.
SBIR is a three-step grant and contract program. Phase I grants and contracts are awarded in amounts of
$60,000 to $100,000 each for technology feasibility studies that can last up to six months. Only Phase I
recipients are eligible for Phase II awards. Phase II grants and contracts can last from one to two years of
principal research and development, and range from $150,000 to $750,000. Phase III funding assistance is
provided either through commercial application with additional funding from the private sector, or through
non-SBIR funding provided by the participating agency for research and development in areas of particular
interest to the agency.
The Small Business Technology Transfer Program (STTR) expands funding opportunities in the federal
innovation research and development arena. Under STTR, a specific percentage of federal R&D funding
for five agencies (including DoD and DOE) is reserved for awards to small business and nonprofit research
institution partners. These agencies designate R&D topics and accept proposals. Small businesses must meet
certain eligibility criteria (similar to SBIR) to participate in the STTR Program.
Following submission of proposals, agencies make STTR awards based on small business/nonprofit research
institution qualification, degree of innovation, and future market potential. Small businesses that receive
awards or grants then begin a three-phase program. Phase I is the start-up phase, with awards of up to
$100,000 for approximately one year fund the exploration of the scientific, technical, and commercial
feasibility of an idea or technology. Phase II awards of up to $500,000, for as long as two years, to expand
on Phase I results. During this period, the R&D work is performed and the developer begins to consider
commercial potential. Only Phase I award winners are considered for Phase II. Phase III is the period during
which Phase II innovation moves from the laboratory into the marketplace. No STTR funds support this
phase. The small business must find funding in the private sector or other non-STTR federal agency funding.

Naval Environmental Leadership Program
The Naval Environmental Leadership Program (NELP) seeks to expedite cleanup and compliance at two
Naval installations (Naval Air Station North Island, San Diego, California, and Naval Station Mayport,
Jacksonville, Florida) using innovative technologies and focused management. The two NELP bases
serve as prototypes for identification, development, testing, implementation, evaluation, and refinement
of new initiatives and export of successful applications for implementation as part of the Navy's
Environmental Management Program.
Interested public or private sector parties in possession of innovative technologies that may be
implemented at full-scale to address environmental problems at the two NELP bases and that address
problems of concern in the Navy-wide environmental management program may be eligible to
participate in NELP. Innovative technologies are selected and included in the Program through a variety
of mechanisms. The NELP Initiative solicits proposals for innovative technologies via the Commerce
Business Daily.
NELP emphasizes full-scale technology implementation to solve an environmental problem at one of the
NELP bases. It is not an R&D program; however, the NELP Initiative may serve as a host for technology
demonstrations if the developer requires a demonstration site, once the NELP bases meets the
requirements for a successful demonstration, and funding is provided by the developer or other source.
Successful demonstrations will lead to full-scale implementation at the NELP base and within the
execution of the Navy's Installation Restoration Program.

Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program
Coordinating Agency: U.S. Department of Defense
Participating Agencies: U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
The Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) is a multiagency program
funded through the Department of Defense. SERDP responds to environmental needs of DoD, along
with those it shares with the Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, and other
federal government agencies.
SERDP seeks to identify, develop, demonstrate, and transition technology for four thrust areas. The four
thrust areas correspond to the four pillars of DoD's Environmental Quality Program: environmental
cleanup technology is one of the thrust areas. Specific objectives of the cleanup technology thrust area
focus on conducting research and development to achieve more effective and efficient environmental
characterization, assessment, monitoring, and cleanup of soil, sediment, groundwater, surface water, and
structures contaminated by past defense practices with hazardous materials (including unexploded
ordnance), and toxic substances. The cleanup technology area also seeks to:
• develop cost-effective methods to determine fate, transport, and effects of contaminants related
to defense activities;
• develop risk-based modeling methods for establishing cleanup priorities; and
• facilitate transfer of technology to field use by means of the proof-of-principle demonstration of
R&D projects, particularly, at the SERDP National Environmental Technology Test Sites.
On an annual basis, SERDP solicits proposals from the federal and private sector in the areas of site
characterization, monitoring, remediation, and risk assessment. Each year specific statements of needs
are issued. For current topics of interest and information on how to become involved, please see the
SERDP web site.

Unexploded Ordnance Technology Demonstration Program
JPG Phases I, II, III and Live Site Projects
The Congressionally funded Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Technology Demonstration Program has
established technology performance baselines by demonstrating and highlighting the strengths and
capabilities of numerous UXO technologies.
The U.S. Army Environmental Center (USAEC), in partnership with the Naval Explosive Ordnance
Disposal Technology Division, has conducted over 60 demonstrations of UXO characterization and
remediation technology. Phase I, Phase II and Phase III were conducted in 1994, 1995 and 1996 at the
U.S. Army Jefferson Proving Ground in Madison, IN. These demonstrations were performed on a
controlled test site containing a known baseline of emplaced, inert ordnance.
Additional technology demonstrations were conducted during 1995 at five sites located throughout the
United States that contained live ordnance. Congress has funded a Phase IV effort with demonstrations
to be conducted in the summer of FY98. The Program has been structured to demonstrate and evaluate
systems which are used for detection, identification and remediation of UXO.
Program Objectives and Benefits
The primary objective of this demonstration program has been to evaluate, establish and advance UXO
technology performance. Prior to this, no broad technology performance baseline existed. A framework
has been established to better understand and assess UXO technology. Additionally, Program
demonstrators have benefited from target data feedback; they are better able to undertake or continue
system improvements. The primary focus of the Phase IV effort, to be conducted during the summer of
1998, is to advance target discrimination and classification techniques.
Available Reports
Details of the multi-phase demonstration programs can be found in published reports. The most recent
document is entitled: UXO Technology Demonstration Program at Jefferson Proving Ground, Phase III,
April 1997. These reports and additional information can be obtained by contacting USAEC's hotline or
bye-mail.
Technology Capabilities
Results of the most recent Phase III demonstrations show that overall technology detection rates have
improved since the initial Phase I Demonstration Program (1994). Phase III results show that
state-of-the-art technology is capable of detecting a substantial portion of emplaced ordnance (over
95%). However, significant technology limitations still exist.
DO NOT QUOTE OR CITE
19
-------
There has been no substantial change in the ability of demonstrators to discriminate UXO from
non-UXO material (clutter). This deficiency is a major cost driver in UXO characterization due to
additional data analysis requirements and subsequent unnecessary excavation. During the Phase IV
demonstration effort, the government is partnering with a select group of demonstrators to advance the
ability to characterize and discriminate UXO. Remote excavation of UXO has been shown to be
feasible; the systems were able to locate, excavate and handle the UXO; however, they were slow and
inefficient.
The Future
The UXO Technology Demonstration Program has highlighted the capabilities and limitations of UXO
technologies. Demonstrators show continued improvement in detection performance. But because there
has been no substantial improvement in the ability to discriminate UXO from the clutter, focused efforts
are needed. The Phase IV effort, currently underway, will capitalize upon the previous UXO
technological investments by focusing on target discrimination and reduction of false alarms rates. This
will provide the government with economical and effective technology that will significantly reduce the
overall cost of UXO clearance, by reducing the number of anomalies which must be found.

U.S. Army Environmental Center
The Environmental Technology Transfer and Technology Demonstration Branches within the Pollution
Prevention and Environmental Technology Division (P2&ETD) develop, demonstrate, and deliver tools
to help the Army sustain readiness, protect resources, and improve soldiers' quality of life. These
programs enable the Army to test and implement cost-effective technologies in pollution prevention,
conservation, compliance, and restoration. From cleanup devices to better ways of doing business, these
innovations protect the environment while supporting military operations, installation management, and
material development.
P2&ETD assesses Army environmental needs and works with researchers and future users to adapt
ideas. P2&ETD searches government labs or finds "off the shelf commercial tools with potential
military application. P2&ETD produces "real world" cost and performance data by testing lab-proven
technologies in field demonstrations. P2&ETD helps transfer successful products to the Army
community, tracking technology performance and user needs even after the demonstration.
P2&ETD's guidance and technical support programs address the main elements of the Army's
environmental program, meeting specific user needs on pollution prevention, conservation, compliance,
and restoration, as well as specialized programs in SCAPS, UXO, and Range XXI.
Technology is a major weapon in the Army's efforts to defend the nation and protect its environment.
Through these programs, USAEC gives the Army ready access to the most effective and affordable
environmental tools.

Program Research & Development Announcements/Research
Opportunity Announcements
Program R&D Announcements (PRDAs) and Research Opportunity Announcements (ROAs) are DOE's
major assistance vehicles for developing technologies. PRDAs solicit a broad mix of proposals where R&D,
including demonstration, testing, and evaluation, is required within broadly defined areas of interest. DOE
may issue a PRDA in response to an individual program need such as the cleanup of a particular
contaminant at a specific site. Multiple awards for proposals, which may have varied approaches or
concepts, are generally made. Numerous PRDAs may be issued' each year.
ROAs solicit industry and academic proposals throughout the year ("rolling admissions") for potential
contracts in applied research. ROAs support research efforts for the development of technologies with poten-
tial application in the EM program. A proposed technology should improve DOE's capabilities in areas such
as in situ remediation; detection, characterization, and monitoring; efficient separations technology for

radioactive waste; and robotics. ROAs are published in the Commerce Business Daily. The program includes
some set-asides for small businesses. DOE anticipates making 25-30 awards through an active ROA at its
Morgantown facility.
For information on the full range of DOE/EM assistance programs, contact the EM Central Point of Contact
(CPOC). The CPOC is a referral service that expedites and monitors private sector interaction with EM. The
CPOC can identify links between technologies and program needs and connect potential partners with an
extensive network of Headquarters and field program contacts.

TechCon
TechCon is a DOE program developed to increase the use of commercially available technologies at DOE
cleanup sites with an emphasis on technologies that have shown superior performance characteristics.
TechCon's mission is to identify, screen, and support the implementation of available environmental
technologies from both the private and public sector in the U.S. as well as from international sources.
The TechCon Program works with sites to identify clean-up needs, finds commercially available
technologies and services that have proven performance capabilities, matches technologies to needs at DOE
sites, and delivers information on these technologies to site personnel. By connecting representatives of
technology companies with those at remediation sites, TechCon promotes the use of available technologies
and resolves barriers to their field application.
A key to TechCon's success is improving communication among companies, site representatives, and
regulators. To that end, TechCon has instituted an electronic mail discussion list that is hosted at ANL. With
over 60 members, including DOE, EPA, site contractor, and technology company personnel, this e-mail list
facilitates dissemination of information and can expedite the matching of technology needs with
commercially available technologies.

Technology Development Initiative
DOE's Technology Deployment Initiative (TDI) seeks to:
• achieve multiple deployments of cleanup technologies and processes that expedite DOE's
environmental management effort,
• obtain third party validation of cost savings,
• facilitate the reinvestment of cost savings to increase participation in the program, and
• break down barriers to the implementation of new technologies.
Under TDI, technologies selected for participation and deployment support DOE's environmental
management mission and provide for multiple applications. Applications include a Pricing Proposal that
compares an estimated cost with that of a baseline technology; the technology should accelerate or reduce
the cost of that referenced baseline, or both. Applications must also include a commitment from the
proposing DOE site manager. TDI funding is for deployment of commercial-ready technologies, rather than
demonstrations.
Ranking criteria for applicants are divided into four areas; impact/technical approach; business management
approach; stakeholder/regulatory management approach; and cost. Incentives for developers to participate
in TDI include the availability of funds to accelerate deployment and cleanup, increased visibility for the
technologies through deployment and the generation of validated cost savings, multiple state acceptance of
the technology, and the opportunity for reinvestment of cost savings.

Environmental Technology Verification Program
Over the years, EPA has evaluated technologies to determine their effectiveness in preventing, controlling,
and cleaning up pollution. EPA has expanded these efforts by instituting the Environmental Technology
Verification (ETV) Program to verify the performance of a larger universe of innovative technical solutions
to problems that threaten human health or the environment. ETV accelerates the entrance of new environ-
mental technologies into the marketplace by supplying technology buyers and developers, consulting
engineers, States, and EPA Regions with high quality data on the performance of new technologies.
ETV expands past verification efforts, such as the SITE program (see p. 26) for remediation technologies,
into multiple pilot areas. In these pilot areas, EPA utilizes the expertise of partner "verification
organizations" to design efficient processes for conducting performance tests of innovative technologies.
EPA selects its partners from both the public and private sectors including Federal laboratories, States,
universities, and private sector facilities. Verification organizations will oversee and report verification
activities based on testing and quality assurance protocols developed with input from major stakeholders/
customer groups associated with the technology area.
Verification under ETV means confirmation of the performance characteristics of a commercial-ready
environmental technologies through the evaluation of objective and quality assured data. ETV's targeted
customers are:
• Technology users and purchasers
• Technology enablers
permitters, regulators
consulting engineers
• Technology developers and vendors
Each pilot will announce its intention to begin accepting technologies for verification in the Commerce
Business Daily and in the trade press. The pilot areas include the Consortium for Site Characterization
Technology (see NETTS program p. 15). By the year 2000, EPA envisions that the ETV program will be
comprised of numerous public and private testing entities covering all major classes of environmental
technology.

Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation Program
The Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation Program was established by EPA's Offices of Research
and Development (ORD) and Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) to promote the development
and use of innovative technologies to remediate Superfund sites. The SITE Program places a special
emphasis on demonstrating technologies, including support for bench-scale through pilot-scale and field-
scale demonstrations, and includes reports of cost and performance data. The SITE Program consists of three
major components to achieve these goals: a Demonstration Program; an Emerging Technology Program;
and a Monitoring and Measurement Technologies Program.
The Demonstration Program generates performance, engineering, and cost data through innovative
technology demonstrations. EPA publishes an annual solicitation for proposals from developers to

demonstrate their technologies. Typical demonstrations take place at Superfund sites. Under the Program,
the cost of the demonstration is split between the vendor and EPA. The vendor pays for the operation of the
demonstration, while EPA pays for all planning, sampling, and analysis. EPA also reports the results of the
demonstration.
The Emerging Technology Program supports bench-scale and pilot-scale development and testing of
innovative treatment technologies. EPA publishes an annual solicitation for proposals from developers.
The Monitoring and Measurement Technologies Program supports the development and demonstration of
innovative field technologies that monitor, or measure hazardous substances.
Over the years, the SITE Program has completed demonstrations and issued reports for over 100 tech-
nologies. The advent of environmental technology development and commercialization as national priorities
in the last few years, along with the initiation of other EPA environmental technology programs, has led
EPA to review and reconsider the future role of the SITE Program in the overall federal environmental
technology strategy. For this reason, participation in the SITE Program by new partners has been temporarily
suspended.
