FOREWORD
The U.S.  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognizes the challenges
that developers and  vendors  of  hazardous  waste treatment technologies
face. The Technology Innovation Office (TIO) of EPA's  Office of Solid
Waste and Emergency Response  (OSWER) is charged with promoting the
use of innovative technologies for characterizing and remediating contami-
nated sites. One of TTO's goals is to remove barriers to innovation and to
the commercialization of innovative technologies. Another goal  is to pro-
vide information about commercialization  assistance programs and resources
available  to technology developers. This  guide provides information about
sources of assistance  and support for efforts  to bring technologies from the
proof-of-concept stage to the commercialization stage.

This information is intended to be useful  both to established developers of
treatment technologies and to those newly  entering the field. Your com-
ments and suggestions for future editions are  welcome.   The  electronic
version and suggestion page can be found at  . Also,
you can  use the form on page  iv to make  such suggestions or to order
additional copies of the guide.

I. INTRODUCTION -
FOLLOWING THE TECHNOLOGY

DEVELOPMENT  PROCESS

This guide is intended to assist developers of innovative hazardous 'waste treatment
technologies by identifying sources of assistance as they progress through the
development, demonstration, and commercialization process. Mirroring the stages
of that process and identifying resources appropriate to each stage, the guide will
help developers to sort through the maze of resources available to find those that
meets their needs.  This guide identifies four broad  categories of assistance
available to technology developers: (1) Financial and Market Research Assistance;
(2) Technology Testing, Demonstration, Evaluation, and Transfer Assistance; (3)
Business  Development  Assistance; and (4) Administrative and Financial
Management Assistance. These four categories correspond to the four steps of the
technology development process bulleted below.
Technology developers can use  the guide to find answers to the  following
questions:
  •  Proof of Concept - Where can I find financial assistance for developing
    and commercializing the technology? Who can help me identify appropriate
    markets for my technology?
  •  Developing, Testing, and Demonstrating Your Technology - How do I  get:
    my technology accepted by the marketplace, and (once it has been accepted)
    how do 1 let people know about my technology and what it can do?
  *  Getting the Work -1 low do I find business opportunities so that I can sell
    my technology?
  •  Getting Paid - How do I run my business to ensure I get paid and make
    money?
Chapter II identifies available resources and groups them into the categories of
assistance. Chapter II also presents subcategories of assistance and possible ways
the resources may help a technology developer. Chapter III  alphabetically lists
resources  identified  in Chapter II and provides  a brief description of each re-
source along with contact information.
Figure 1 on the following page graphically presents the organization of this guide.
Figure 1 illustrates the flow of the technology development process, the broad
categories of assistance that correspond to each step of the technology development
process, and lists the specific subcategories of resources available in this guide.
Table 1, found on page 30, is a large matrix  of all the resources listed in this
guide, cross-referenced to the types of services they provide at various stages of
the technology development process.

H.  BROAD  CATEGORIES  OF
ASSISTANCE
This guide contains information about support services that are available to
assist vendors and other organizations involved in the  development of
environmental investigation technologies, treatment technologies, and other
technologies used in  environmental remediation.

This chapter provides you with an orientation to the resources in the guide
by grouping the services into broad categories of assistance.  These
categories are presented  sequentially by  the phase of the development
process in which the technology being developed currently is classified.

A brief introduction to each broad category of assistance helps lead you to
the resources of interest. Each introduction also provides a list of questions
that the resources in that category can help you answer.

The resources are  organized further according to the more  specific
subcategories of support that are offered under each of the broad categories
of assistance.  A description of each of the subcategories of support is
provided, followed by the names and page  in Chapter III of the specific
resources that offer that type of support. You should note that any resource
might be listed under more than one category and/or subcatcgory,  as many
of the resources can provide assistance during more than one phase of the
technology development process.

    Concept
Financial and
 Assistance

                        A barrier to the development of new and innovative technologies, especially
                        for small and medium-size businesses, is funding. Further, when a company or
                        consortium is  able  to  invest considerable funds in research, development,
                        testing, or some other element that will lead to the commercialization of a
                        technology, outside  resources often are  needed to provide protection against
                        and help minimize the inherent risk associated with new business ventures. As
                        a technology developer moves through the stages of growth, capital needs rise
                        substantially, but availability of capital may not increase. Therefore other sources
                        of funding may be required.

                        This section provides information  about resources that support the  financial
                        assistance needs of  the technology vendor, large or small. The resources can
                        help identify seed money that can assist a small company in getting a new idea
                        off the ground. Some of the resources in this category may prove helpful as
                        well to an entrepreneur who needs an investor or venture capital partner.

                        The resources listed in  the  Financial and Market Research Assistance
                        category will help vendors answer  one or more of the  following questions:

                         « Are grants or loans available for technology research, development,
                           or testing?

                         • Which organizations provide financial assistance for technology research and
                           development?

                         « What are the requirements for obtaining financial assistance? Are there
                           cost-sharing requirements, or does it matter how big my company is?

                         • Are there  programs  in my state that provide financial assistance  to
                           technology developers?

                         • Are there any business development  resources (such as facilities or ser-
                           vices) in my area?

                         • Are there  organizations that wish to invest venture capital in start-
                           up or growth companies?

                                                Grants and Loans
Resources of this type help companies  find funding for various aspects  of
technology development and commercialization.  Grants generally are  pro-
vided by federal or state government agencies, or by private, nonprofit  or
not-for-profit foundations or associations. They usually are targeted to small
or disadvantaged companies, but larger companies may qualify in some
cases. Grants and grant assistance often are focused on research that  may
help get a new technology off the drawing board or support the evaluation
of an emerging technology that  is not quite  field-ready. Loans are more
widely accessible than grants, but their terms  require repayment of the
funds.  Some lending institutions or support agencies,  especially those op-
erated by the federal government,  offer very favorable terms that make a
loan attractive to a potential borrower, for  example, in a developing coun-
try. Private banks also may provide business loans for domestic and interna-
tional activities.

                                                Business  Planning
The development of a sound business plan is crucial to the success of any com-
pany, whether it is a completely new enterprise or an established company that
is expanding into new or different markets. Business plans also require periodic
refinement to adapt them to  changing market conditions. Business planning is
important to the future of a company. Resources that support business planning
provide assistance in setting  up and maintaining all aspects of a business. On-
line resources  also can be accessed at less cost than other resources to obtain
information about business planning.

                       position themselves for a particular project or contract, companies need accurate
                       information and adequate lead time. Government organizations often conduct
                       market analysis and provide the resultant information in reports that more and
                       more frequently are available  on-line, as well as in hard-copy versions.  Such

These primarily technical support resources help move technologies from the
concept stage to the marketplace.  Some of these resources also provide con-
tinual support for the provision of information to people who buy technologies
for  application.  All technology developers can benefit from  state or federal
programs and private-sector services that support testing, demonstration, evalu-
ation, verification, and (in some cases) certification of their products and meth-
ods. Such services  may provide testing locations that otherwise might be diffi-
cult to find.  They may offer a process by which the application of new technol-
ogy is reviewed objectively and the results published.  The developer then can
use those results to encourage future applications. Technology transfer resources
help to disseminate  information about a technology, sometimes at minimal cost
to the developer.  The resources can help further the development of a technol-
ogy through research and help bring a developed technology  to the commer-
cially applicable stage.

The resources listed in the Technology Testing, Demonstration, Evaluation,
and Transfer Assistance category will help vendors answer one or  more of the
following questions:

  •  Are there independent: testing facilities or organizations that can evaluate my
   technology?

  •  Can I obtain assistance in conducting treatability testing at the laboratory
   scale, bench scale, or pilot scale?

  • What: programs  are there for field-testing my technology at actual sites,
    and how do I gain access to them?

  • Who can I contact to obtain technical information or reports about sites?

  «  Is information available about the results of university- or government-
   funded research programs?

  «  Can I obtain technical assistance from university or government experts
    to support research and development efforts for my technology?

  «  How can I distribute validated performance data to potential custom-
    ers for my technology?

                      Full-scale and field demonstration programs, usually implemented by federal or
                      state government agencies, provide excellent opportunities for companies to
                      obtain valuable, practical  application information and cost and performance
                      data for new technologies that are  field-ready. The guide highlights a number
                      of well-established programs  that  provide  the means of conducting full-scale
                      demonstrations and evaluating technologies, as well as information  about how
                      each program works, what kinds  of technologies the programs demonstrate,

Bench-scale and pilot demonstration programs are similar to programs  that
demonstrate technologies on a full scale; however, the programs are more
suitable for emerging technologies that are  not  field-ready and that  require
additional testing in a smaller, more controlled environment to help bring them
to the  next level of development  and commercialization. The resources pro-
vide specific information about such programs and how they work.

studies are required to ensure that a selected technology — or a technology
being considered  for application — is  feasible and suitable  for the contami-
nants, geophysical conditions, or other characteristics that are factors in the
cleanup.  Companies that conduct treatability studies that meet the requirements
of the cleanup decision makers may need access to a facility appropriate for
the testing. The guide identifies technology incubators that: provide laboratory
space and equipment and analytical services and offer permitted facilities for
conducting treatability studies, as well.
In addition to information about facilities and services, developers benefit from
information  about  testing  procedures applicable to their technologies. EPA's

Programs and organizations that conduct research in hazardous suInstances and
hazardous waste promote technology conceptualization and the development
of new technologies.  Such  centers generate  and maintain  information that
helps scientists and engineers better understand the most persistent and trouble-
some problems in a given field. Through their research, they explore ways to
solve those problems. Some programs are designed specifically to assist in the
development of cleanup technologies.

          Independent Testing and Certification Programs
Some demonstration programs, and a number of other programs operated at
the federal and state government levels, are conducted to verify that a tech-
nology performs as  its developers claim and, in some cases, certify the feasi-
bility and performance of a technology.  EPA generally does  not  certify
cleanup technologies, but it does administer a program that seeks to verify
technologies. Other state  and federal agencies offer programs that include
certification.

                       Information Dissemination Assistance
Information dissemination is a form of technical and technology information
transfer that helps distribute information about technologies and methods to the
people who make decisions about their use. Some regularly updated electronic
resources  or publications maintained  by EPA or other government agencies
provide a means  for a vendor to distribute information about its technology
widely at very little  cost. Other sources,  on  the  Internet  or  elsewhere, are
accessed for a fee. Government and private-sector organizations routinely dis-
tribute technical and technology information domestically and internationally
during conferences, training courses, symposia, and other events attended by
potential users of technologies. Resources listed in this category provide infor-
mation about those organizations and their services, as well as obtaining infor-
mation about events related to technology.

                        Permitting and Regulatory Assistance
As important as demonstrating that a technology works is ensuring that the devel-
opment, testing, and use of the technology is carried out in accordance with applic-
able laws and regulations. Permits may  be required, but in some cases can be
waived. Technologies must be capable of meeting cleanup standards and must be
implemented in a manner that ensures the health and safety of workers on the site
and nearby populations. Waste derived from  the use of the technology must: be
handled properly. Those considerations are just a few of the issues that the permit-
ting and regulatory assistance resources listed in this category cover.
Since federal and state regulatory programs are  dynamic,  and because require-
ments differ from state to  state, it is not possible to provide definitive guidance in
this guide. Interested  parties  should  contact appropriate  EPA regional or state
regulator}* personnel for up-to-date information  about regulatory requirements.
EPA has issued a number  of regulatory provisions intended to provide relief from
permitting and testing requirements for technology developers. Since the extent
to which states have adopted  those provisions varies, developers should contact
authorities in their EPA regions or states to verify the applicability of regulatory
provisions in a particular jurisdiction.
Contact the regions below to find information about research, development  and
demonstration (RD&D) permitting and the Treatability Studies Sample Exclusion
rule in a  specific state.

the
           Assistance
           Business  development  assistance includes support  services that can  help
           companies identify,  pursue,  position for, and win work for the services a
           company provides or for sales of a firm's products.  Larger companies tend
           to have  and use internal resources for developing business;  however, ex-
           ternal resources—especially in the  form of easily  accessible information
           about market trends, contract opportunities, and similar information—are
           crucial to companies, regardless  of size. Smaller companies, or even larger
           firms that do not have  internal  resources available  at a given time, may
           decide to access or hire external services to support marketing or proposal
           efforts or to facilitate business in a new or remote market—for example, in
           the international arena. Such resources consist of services and information
           that are offered for a fee and those that can be obtained at no cost. Included
           among them are databases and on-line networks, market reports, and infor-
           mation about the procurement: process. The resources are available  from
           government, private-sector, domestic, and international sources.

           The resources listed in  the  Business Development Assistance  category
           will help vendors answer one or more  of the following questions:

             • Are there opportunities for partnerships or collaboration  with federal
               laboratories, academic  institutions, or  other parties interested  in the
               development and use of environmental technologies?

             * Is planning assistance available for matching my  technology with an
               actual site?

             « How can I obtain financing for exporting environmental technologies?

             • Are there any trade development programs for foreign markets?
                                                                       PAGE 21

                                               Networking and Business Facilitation
                       Numerous organizations can help a technology company become involved in
                       business or technical networks that focus on certain issues, such as the envi-
                       ronment or a particular industry, or those that are broadly based, representing
                       business interests in general. Such organizations may operate under the aus-
                       pices of federal or state governments. Trade and industrial associations, cham-
                       bers of commerce,  and other private-sector organizations also provide links
                       among their clients  or members and others who have mutual interests.
                       Developers also can access information about innovative treatment technolo-
                       gies and make  information about their technologies available to potential
                       users of remediation technologies through various federal databases and bul-
                       letin boards.

                                    Direct Sales and Marketing
Organizations that provide direct sales  and marketing services expand the
work force of a small company for a specific period of time or for a specific
purpose. Such resources are involved directly in representing a company and
promoting  the sales  of its  product, as well as identifying and encouraging
interest. Some organizations are essentially deal brokers that help bring buyer
and  seller together and negotiate the terms and conditions  of sales.  Direct:
marketing also may take  the form of advertising in various media, including
the Internet.

                       Commercialization support is focused on  bringing new products and tech-
                       nologies  to market.  Such resources provide a combination of market re-
                       search, business facilitation and development, and technology transfer. They
                       may be able to identify specific demand for a technology or link  a vendor

                                                Export Assistance
For companies that wish to export their technologies to other countries, a vari-
ety of resources provide support to help determine the demand for particular
products and make contact with potential foreign buyers, find or provide fund-
ing or a vehicle for a company (or its target clients), or conduct negotiations
with the importer or government authorities of the  importing country.  Such
resources are found in both the government and the private sector. On-line
resources can help a company learn about the many issues to be considered
when exporting a technology.
Additional information and resources  are available in "Financing Environmen-
tal Exports - A Guide to the Fundamentals and Sources," a report published by
the International Trade Administration of the Department of Commerce.  This
report is available  on-line at  by  clicking  on
"Market Plans."

                          Procurement and Proposal Development Assistance
                      A company that wishes to bid on a government or private-sector contract may
                      need assistance to ensure that it understands and properly follows the applicable
                      procurement process and requirements (such as the Federal Acquisition Regula-
                      tion or its agency equivalent). Some companies also hire external sendees to help
                      them prepare proposals that give them the best chance to win a contract. The
                      resources listed in this category will help the user find such assistance, including
                      many electronic services offered by government organizations.

Management

Administrative and financial management assistance is crucial  to the suc-
cessful operation  of a company because it  (1) focuses on  aspects of the
business that keep operations running smoothly; (2) addresses functions that
ensure that products are delivered on time and according to terms; and (3)
involves properly  accounting for costs,  preparing quotes that will lead to a
profit, and getting paid on time.  Start-up companies or companies entering
a new market can benefit especially from use of such resources.  They may
help a new firm  identify the administrative and logistical considerations to
be addressed early.  They involve  real estate, taxation,  and other services
that many companies are not equipped to handle internally.

The resources listed in the Administrative and Financial Management
Assistance category will help vendors  answer one  or more of the follow-
ing questions:

  • Are there  organizations that provide  office space or administrative
   support for technology developers?

  • Are there organizations that provide  facility space, services, or equip-
   ment for  technology research and development?

  • How can a small company get temporary support during busy periods?
                                                                                PAGE 27

                                           Business Management and Administration
                      Companies may consider using external resources for help in managing and
                      administering a business; however, information and services  are available to
                      support  internal completion of those crucial operational functions. Such
                      resources are Internet sites or  publications  that provide information about
                      sound management practices and administrative requirements for any busi-
                      ness. Some  services provide management, or more commonly,  administra-
                      tive  support  on a long- or short-term basis  to supplement the limited per-
                      sonnel of a  small company  or fill  labor  gaps for  large companies  during
                      crunch times.  Use of temporary support from such  services can help  a
                      company find and train personnel who can  become full-time employees as
                      the company grows and prospers.

                      Several of the resources below are also able to assist in the procurement,
                      leasing and purchase of office  space and equipment and can help compa-
                      nies make good decisions  about facilities and equipment.

                      Business incubators play a significant role in helping infant  businesses sur-
                      vive and grow. Business incubators are facilities that specialize in providing
                      small businesses with office space and shared  administrative support ser-
                      vices, identifying sources of capital, performing market analyses, and assist-
                      ing in business development. The National Business Incubation Association
                      (NBIA) estimates that there are more than 530 incubators in  North America.

Financial and accounting systems arc becoming more and more sophisticated, and
the requirements for invoicing and reporting (especially for U.S. Government jobs)
more rigorous. The guide identifies resources that provide information or services
in the area of financial management, which  may help a company learn about
financial reporting requirements and generally accepted principles of accounting,
suggest electronic systems available in today's market, or lead the  company to
organizations that provide such support for firms of various sizes.

                   DESCRIPTION OF
                   RESOURCES
                   Chapters I and II introduced the purpose of this guide as it related to the
                   stages of technology development and  commercialization. Each stage of
                   this process was identified and the appropriate resources available to help
                   with the various parts of the entire commercialization process were identi-
                   fied. Chapter II oriented the user to the resources found in the guide by
                   grouping the resources into categories of assistance organized sequentially
                   by phase of the technology development process. Chapter II also listed
                   possible ways the resources may assist a technology developer.

 COMMERCE

 The U.S.  Department of Commerce's Advanced Technology Program (ATP) pro-
 vides technology development grants  and technical assistance  on a cost-sharing
 basis to single businesses or joint ventures conducting research and development: of
 technologies that have significant potential to stimulate U.S. economic growth and
 improvement in the competitiveness of U.S. industry. The program, administered by
 the National Institute for Standards and Technology, strives to support high-risk
 technologies that have the potential capability to positively affect the Nation's economy.

 ATP will fund development of laboratory prototypes and  proof of technical feasibil-
 ity, but not commercial prototypes or proof of commercial feasibility. Grants have
 been awarded  in the areas of environmental technology, energy conservation, bio-
 technology, advanced materials, and high-performance computing, for example.

 ATP awards  up to $2 million, which must be applied to R&D costs only, over three
 years to individual firms. Joint ventures are not  subject to the $2 million limit, but
 must provide more than 50 percent matching fluids and can be funded for up to five
 years. Any eligible  U.S. business, for-profit independent research organization, or
 industry-led  joint venture may apply.  Universities,  government  organizations, or
 nonprofit independent research organizations may be funded if they are part of a
 joint venture or subcontractors to an eligible single applicant or joint venture.

AIR                        FOR


The Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) Innovative Technology
Program was established to identify innovative technologies in the areas of site
characterization, remediation, and pollution prevention. The program is based on an
annual solicitation under a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for technology7 dem-
onstration. The purpose of this effort is to field-test innovative remedial or pollution
prevention and control technologies; techniques that save money and time; and those
that facilitate compliance with air, soil, and water regulatory requirements.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: remediation tech-
nologies for soil and water contaminated with fuels,  chlorinated solvents, pesti-
cides, PCBs, and heavy metals; vapor phase capture and treatment; cost-effective
site characterization techniques; parts  cleaning and degreasing; stripping  or re-
moval of protective coatings; and treatment of industrial process  sludge.

Successful projects historically have  been those that  satisfied  the following
criteria: the technology is based upon sound  scientific principles; the proposed
technology has widespread applicability to Air Force operations and processes:
and the proposed  technology represents  a cost savings when compared with
other technologies  currently in use.

Types of contracts available to  developers include: cost  plus  fixed  fee; cost
sharing: cost reimbursement; cost plus incentive fee: and time and materials.
                                                                                         PAGE 43

California EPA's (Gal/EPA)  award-winning certification program  is a voluntary
program that provides participating technology developers, manufacturers, and
vendors  an independent, recognized third-party evaluation of the performance
of new and mature environmental technologies. Developers and manufacturers
define quantitative performance claims for their technologies and provide sup-
porting documentation; Gal/EPA  reviews that  information and,  where  neces-
sary, conducts additional testing to verify the claims. The technologies,  equip-
ment,  and products that are proven to work as claimed receive official  state
certification. The certification program is voluntary and  self-supporting. Com-
panies participating  in the  program pay the costs of evaluating and certifying
their technologies.

 The Environmental Security Technology Certification Program's (ESTCP) goal is to
 demonstrate and validate promising,  innovative technologies that target the De-
 partment of Defense's (DoD) most urgent environmental needs. These technolo-
 gies provide a return on investment through cost savings and improved efficiency.
 ESTCP's strategy is to select lab-proven technologies with broad DoD and market
 application. These projects are moved aggressively to the field for rigorous trials
 that document their cost, performance, and market potential.

 Successful demonstration leads to acceptance of innovative technologies by
 DoD end-users and the regulatory  community.   To ensure that the demon-
 strated technologies have a  real impact, ESTCP incorporates these players in
 the development and execution of each technology.  ESTCP demonstrations:

   • Address real DoD environmental  needs.

   « Significantly reduce costs and risks and expedite implementation.

   • Document and validate the cost and performance of new technologies for
     DoD end-users and the regulatory community.

In the past, legal and institutional barriers have prevented government  and
industry from collaborating in developing and marketing effective technologies
to prevent and control pollution. The Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986
(FTTA) removes  some barriers to the joint development:  of commercial treat-
ment technologies. The FTTA allows flexible Cooperative Research and Devel-
opment Agreements  (CRADA) among federal laboratories, industry, and  aca-
demic institutions.

Under CRADAs, companies may be given exclusive rights to market and com-
mercialize new technologies that result from the collaboration. For industry, the
key advantage of CRADAs is the speed and ease with which the agreements
can be negotiated and signed. CRADAs are not subject to federal contracting or
grant  requirements.

The FTTA also established in each federal agency an  office of research  and
technology application (ORTA) which is responsible  for technology transfer
within each agency.

More  information and links  to Federal Technology Transfer Offices  on the
Internet are available at ,

EPA technology transfer center, for more information on technology commer-
cialization and CRADAs, at .

ies of research.  These categories  include waste characterization  and assess-
ment; waste reduction and  pollution prevention; waste treatment, disposal, and
remediation; environmental processes and  effects; and  risk assessment  and
policy analysis. Proposals are solicited on an annual cycle during late fall and
winter. Funding  for research projects that are selected averages approximately
$75,000 per year.

The 22,000 square  foot Hazardous Materials Laboratory houses a pilot scale,
high-hazard and two treatability study laboratories for working with industry
and technology developers on waste reduction  and treatment projects. The lab
also has a full range of analytical support  capabilities. It can accommodate

The Interstate Technology and Regulatory Cooperation (ITRC) Working Group
was initiated by the Western Governors  Association to expedite the use of
technology for the characterization and cleanup of contaminated sites. Twenty-
six states have participated in this project.  Most of the participating states have
agreed to accept: each  other's test results  if the agreed upon testing protocols
are used. This would make it possible to test a technology in one of these states
and have such results accepted in the  25  other states.  In addition to the state
representatives, there are a number of other groups, such as the Southern States
Energy Board and a number of stakeholders who have participated.

NCIBRD was established in 1993 with funding from the Department of Defense (DoD)-
Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) through EPA's
Office of Research and Development.  NCIBRD's mission in the DoD-SERDP Natu-
ral Environmental Technology Test Sites (NETTS) program is to support the develop-
ment and evaluation of fuel and chlorinated solvent hazardous waste site characteriza-
tion and remediation technologies. Its mission is shared with NETTS locations at: Dover-
AFB, DE, and McClellan AFB, CA (U.S. Air Force); and Port Ilueneme, and CA (U.S.
Navy).  NCIBRD represents the thrust of DoD/SERDP demonstration and evaluation
efforts on in situ integrated physical, chemical and biological environmental technologies.
and provides year-round test locations for site characterization and remediation technol-
ogy evaluations.

Its primary field location is at the former Wurtsmith AFB (WAFB) in Oscoda, MI. The
WAFB location was, prior to 1993, a Strategic Air Command B-52 Base. It is now under
the authority of the U.S. Air Force Base Conversion Agency (USAF-BCA) which has
responsibility for the cleanup and conversion to civilian use of the more than fifty contami-
nated sites and associated properties.

EXCELLENCE

In 1990, the Department of Defense (DoD) established the National Defense Center
for Environmental Excellence (NDCEE) in Johnstown, PA, to lead and support DoD
facilities and the associated industrial base in adopting a comprehensive approach to
pollution prevention, and to address other high priority environmental issues. The
NDCEE is operated by Concurrent: Technologies Corporation (CTC), a non-profit
institution. DoD encourages CTC to offer its pollution prevention services to U.S.
industry to improve its competitiveness in the global economy.

The  NDCEE,  through CTC, identifies, evaluates, demonstrates, and transitions
environmentally-acceptable manufacturing processes to its client base, and pro-
vides related  information services. NDCEE's other focus areas include: environ-
mental restoration; waste minimization; waste management; materials recycling;
risk assessment; and medical waste management. A key resource is a 185,000
square foot Demonstration Factory, which incorporates production-scale, state-
of-the-art equipment that  enables the NDCEE to perform process demonstra-
tions, validations, education, and  training activities.

The DoD/National Environmental Technology Demonstration Program (NETDP) is a
coordinated  effort of the Air Force,  the Army, the Navy, and EPA  to establish a
coordinated  environmental technology testing and evaluation program to help re-
duce the duplication of effort  and inefficiencies associated with multiple pro-
grams. Areas of responsibility are divided among the services and EPA.

The NETDP uses the Reliance  agreements as its foundation.  It focuses on the
demonstration of remediation technologies that respond  to the primary needs
of the  services.

As the principal manufacturer  of field weapons, the Army has been given the
lead in the  area of energetics materials remediation technology, and the Navy
and Air Force have been given primary responsibility for technology develop-
ment in the area of petroleum, oils, lubricants (POL) and solvents.

EPA. through the University of Michigan,  is developing the National Center for
Bioremediation  Research and  Development at Wurtsmith Air Force Base in
Oscoda,  Michigan, which will provide a controlled field test-bed  facility for
conducting  the  investigations  required to develop, evaluate, and establish  a
general basis for the  design and engineering of integrated bioremediation sys-
tems.  The project focuses principally on in-situ remediation of surface soils,
subsoils, surface waters, and groundwatcr contaminated by organic  materials.

EPA's Consortium  for Site Characterization  Technology will identify7, evaluate,
demonstrate, and transfer information about innovative and alternative monitor-
ing, measurement, and  site  characterization technologies.

                        lished in 1993 to facilitate the transition of environmental remediation technolo-
                        gies to full-scale use by overcoming the barriers that presently inhibit commer-
                        cialization of such technologies. The NETTS Program is a  comprehensive tech-
                        nology demonstration, evaluation, and transfer program which addresses barr-
                        iers to the commercialization of innovative  remediation technologies.  The
                        Program's  goal is to establish a coordinated environmental testing and evalua-
                        tion program to reduce the cost and accelerate the pace of remediation technol-
                        ogy development and deployment.

New Mexico State University is the lead  organization of the Waste Manage-
ment Education and Research Consortium. Participating institutions are the University of
the New Mexico, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Navajo Community
College, and Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories. The consortium conducts
research in all areas of hazardous waste management. Currently, 32 projects are in pro-
cess, including research on in situ remediation and bioremediation of toxic wastes. Eight
of the projects are in the demonstration stage and approaching commercial realization.
The consortium is examining various technologies that involve sensor instrumentation
and robotics as well as physical, chemical, and biological methods for cleaning up soil
and water. Faculty and staff of the University collaborate with industry and third parties
in developing new technology7. The University distributes requests for proposals that
specify the research topic areas.

Demonstrations of in situ and ex situ technologies for characterization, or moni-
toring  of soil  and groundwater are  appropriate at the  Oak Ridge Subsurface
Weirs.
The field facility is designed to perform groundwater tracer injection experi-
ments  in fractured shale bedrock. The site is  equipped with numerous multi-
level sampling wells and wells designated for  continuous water pressure head
monitoring. Sampling from rock matrix and fracture regimes along  the entire
flow field  is possible. Injection set-up is  computer  driven  and designed  to
deliver transient or steady-state tracer concentrations into rock matrix or frac-
tured regime. The site is conducive to studying advection and diffusion in shale
bedrock.  A permit may be required to conduct demonstrations.  Two sites  of
interest are the Melton Branch and the WAG 5 Branch site.
Melton Branch is an uncontaminated site. It has been used for a variety of storm
driven subsurface flow and transport studies  involving  inorganic and organic
tracers and natural isotopic tracers.
The WAG 5 Branch site is contaminated with tritium, strontium-90, a variety  of
DNAPLs, and  toluene.  Long-term multi-component groundwater tracer studies
have been  conducted here to investigate advective and  diffusive mass transfer
of contaminants in the fractured shale bedrock.

ADMINISTRATION

The  U.S. Small Business  Administration's (SBA) Office  of International  Trade
(OIT) provides export financing and business development assistance to estab-
lished and prospective small  business exporters. The Export Working Capital
Program (EWCP) encourages lenders to "back" small-business-exporter deals by
significantly reducing the risk associated with such deals. The EWCP can sup-
port  single transactions or multiple export sales. Under the program, the SBA
can guarantee up to 85 percent of a private  sector loan as much as $750,000.
Loan maturities are generally set at 12 months, with two options to renew, for a
total  of  36 months.

Guarantees can be extended for preshipment working capital,  postshipment
exposure coverage, or a combination of pre- and  post-shipment financing.

OIT  also works in cooperation with  other federal agencies and public and
private-sector groups to encourage small business exports and to assist small
businesses seeking to  export. OIT's outreach efforts include sponsoring or
supporting export  training conferences and developing "how-to" and market-
specific  publications for exporters.  OIT directs and coordinates SBA's ongoing
export initiatives, such as the Export Legal Assistance Network and SBA's Auto-
mated Trade  Locator Assistance System.

The  U.S. Small Business Administration  (SBA) administers the Small Business
Development Center (SBDC) Program to provide management assistance to  cur-
rent  and prospective small business owners. SBDCs offer one-stop assistance to
small businesses by providing  a wide variety of information and guidance in
central and easily accessible branch locations. The program  is a cooperative
effort of the private sector, the educational community, and federal, state  and
local governments. It enhances economic development by providing small busin-
esses with management and technical assistance. There are now 57 SBDCs-one
in every state  (Texas has four), the  District of Columbia,  Puerto Rico,  the  U.S.
Virgin Islands and Guam-with a network of more than 1,000 service locations. In
each state there is a  lead organization that sponsors the SBDC and manages the
program. The  lead  organization coordinates program services offered  to small
businesses through a network of subcenters and satellite locations in each state.
Subcenters are located at colleges, universities, community colleges,  vocational
schools, chambers of commerce, and economic-development corporations. SBDC
assistance is tailored to the local community and the needs of individual clients.
Each  center develops services in cooperation  with local  SBA district offices to
ensure statewide coordination with other available resources.

 The Small Business Guide  to Federal R&D Funding Opportunities  was pro-
 duced by Foresight Science  & Technology, Inc.. under contract to the National
 Science  Foundation.  The purpose  of  the  guide  is to  assist  small businesses
 competing for Small  Business Innovative  Research  (SBIR) and Small Business
 Technology Transfer (STTR) awards; however,  it includes some information
 which may be helpful to SBIR awardees seeking Phase III funding.
 The Small Business Guide to Federal R&D Funding Opportunities includes chap-
 ters on commercialization, market research, marketing, and financing. The guide
 is available on-line at .

                                                                    U.S.


 The Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR)  Program is a highly competi-
 tive program  that encourages small business to develop their  technological
 potential.  SBIR targets the  entrepreneurial sector because that is where most
 innovation and innovators thrive.  SBIR funds  the critical startup and develop-
 ment stages and  it: encourages the  commercialization of the technology, prod-
 uct, or service, which, in turn,  stimulates  the U.S.  economy. Each year, ten
 federal departments and agencies are required by SBIR to reserve a portion of
 their R&D funds  for award to  small business.
 Following submission of proposals,  agencies make SBIR awards based on small
 business qualification, degree  of innovation, technical merit, and  future market
 potential.  Small  businesses that receive awards or grants then begin a three-
 phase program.
  •  Phase I is the startup phase.
  •  Phase II is the R&D phase
  «  Phase III  is the commercialization  phase

                                                                   U.S.

The  U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Small Business  Technology Transfer
Program  (STTR) is a highly competitive program that reserves  specific percent-
ages of federal R&D funding to support innovative technology development by
small businesses.
STTR is similar to the Small Business Innovation  Research (SBIR) program  in
that  both programs seek to increase the participation  of small businesses  in
federal R&D and to increase private sector commercialization of technology
developed through federal R&D.  The  unique  feature of the STTR program is
that, for both Phase I and Phase II projects, at least 40% of the work must be
performed  by  the small business and at least  30% of the work must be per-
formed by a non-profit research institution.  Such institutions include federally-
funded research and development centers (for  example, DOE national labora-
tories), universities, non-profit  hospitals, and other non-profits.

Demonstrations of in situ or ex situ remediation, characterization, or monitoring
of soil, groundwater, or fractured rock are appropriate for the facility.

PCB wastes were stored at the site between 1978 and  1985. Chlorobcnzcncs
dissolved the  PCB  and served as the "carrier"'  fluid. Old transformers were
possibly  "spent" and overheated; thus conversion to dioxins and furans seems
reasonable. The transformers were cleaned at the site with  a chlorinated  sol-
vent believed to be  trichloroethene. Presence of other chlorinated solvents may
be breakdown products or used industrial-grade solvents. Contaminant releases
were discovered at  the facility in 1985. An estimated 8,000 gallons of DNAPLs
have migrated to the underlying bedrock about 19.7 feet  below ground surface.
By 1993, the surface of the site had been restored through the use of an on-sitc
mobile incinerator.  Research is underway to restore the fractured carbonate
bedrock  that was used as a local drinking water  supply.

The  site  has  excellent data available and work is in progress to model  site
conditions with a 3-D fracture flow model  called FRAC3DVS.  The site  is located
within  the Michigan  Basin and is composed of relatively  simple "pancake''
geology  (stratigraphic profile). The local community supports cleanup efforts
and  there is no current litigation.

A full service commercial analytical laboratory on contract to the site is about
25 miles away. The laboratory,  Zenon, has been  accredited by the States of
New York, Virginia, and Washington, and  the Department of the Army among
others. Equipment includes GC/MS. GC, and HPLC. Technology developers are
permitted to do their  own analysis using available facilities.

A permit is required to conduct demonstrations. Both the technology developer
and  the facility must submit applications. The length of time it takes to obtain a
permit  depends on the type of demonstration proposed. National and provincial
regulations apply. Permission to add injectants for remediation may be granted on
a case-by-case basis. If a passive containment system  is  constructed  to isolate
contaminants, it may be possible to consider addition of other chemicals.

SITE/lndex.html
         U.S. EPA

The Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) program was estab-
lished in 1986 by the U.S. EPA's Offices of Research and Development (ORD)
and Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER). Its purpose is to promote
the development  and use of innovative technologies  to clean up Superfund
sites across the country.

The SITE Program has two major components:

  «  The Demonstration program - generates  performance,  engineering,
    and  cost data through  selected innovative technology demonstrations.
    EPA publishes an annual solicitation for proposals from developers  to
    demonstrate  their technologies,  ideally  at  actual  Superfund
    sites. Under this program, the vendor typically pays for the  operation of
    the  demonstration. EPA pays for the planning, sampling, and analysis and
    generates reports to communicate  the  results of the  demonstration.
    Questions regarding the SITE Demonstration program should be directed
    to Vince  Gallardo at  (513) 569-7176 or Randy Parker at (513) 569-7271.

  •  The Monitoring and Measurement Technologies Program - supports
    the development and demonstration of innovative field-ready technologies
    that sample, detect, monitor, or measure hazardous substances in the air,
    surface water, soil, wastes, and biological tissues.  For more information
    contact Steve Billets  at (702)  798-2232.

 The Superfund  Technical Liaison Program was created in 1990 jointly by the
 U.S. EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) and Office of Solid
 Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER)  to expand the  technical support
 available  to Regional staff. It  is managed within the  Regional Operations Staff
 of ORD's Office of Science,  Planning  and Regulatory Evaluation (OSPRE)  at
 EPA Headquarters.

 Technical Liaisons are ORD senior scientists and engineers located in the EPA
 Regional hazardous waste offices. They interact on a daily basis with remedial
 project managers, on-sccnc coordinators, Regional management, and other haz-
 ardous waste personnel. The liaisons  foster communications—especially the
 transfer  of scientific and engineering products—between  ORD laboratories
 and the  Regions. They can provide developers with technical  information on
 sites and technologies in the  EPA Regions.

TECHCON

TechCon is a Department  of Energy (DOE) program  connecting DOE's site-
specific environmental management  needs with private industry capabilities
and public sector experience.  To facilitate the connection, TechCon solicits
information from private industry  and the public sector about solutions to spe-
cific remediation project opportunities with DOE. The Web site links to a list of
current projects  and instructions so technology developers  present their capa-
bilities and project experience to the respective DOE remediation  project team,
review submitted capabilities statements and project histories, or communicate
with others involved in the project.

TECHKNOW

TechKnow  is a free, interactive database that is available over the  Internet.  The
database  provides information for people interested in environmentally sustain-
able technologies. Originally, TechKnow only contained environmental remediation
technologies but has now branched off to other forms  of sustainable technolo-
gies. One of the  main goals of the database is to remain current.  To do this,
individual technology owners and sponsors are invited to enter in their own data.
They assign themselves a password and can then come in and update their own
entries on a regular basis as the status of the technology changes.
TechKnow was developed by The Global  Environment and  Technology Foun-
dation (GETF) under a Cooperative Agreement with the  U.S.  Department of
Energy and a grant from the U.S. Environmental  Protection Agency, Strato-
spheric Protection Divisision. GETF is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation that
fosters innovation by uniting the  environment, technology and  enterprise to
encourage  sustainable practices.



The Technology Transfer Society (T2S) is a not-for-profit professional organization
dedicated to sharing methods, opportunities and schools of thought with the tech-
nology transfer community.  T2S achieves its mission through  programs, publica-
tions,  forums,  an  annual conference, and other services designed to provide re-
sources of information and contacts. T2S draws  these resources from their knowr-

While the Tennessee  Technology Foundation (TTF) was created  as a private.
nonprofit corporation with an initial focus on promoting and supporting the Oak
Ridge/Knoxville Technology Corridor, its charter gives it a mission that is statewide
in scope. Thus, the foundation offers its sendees throughout Tennessee. That mis-
sion is to diversify and expand the employment opportunities  and capital invest-
ment in Tennessee by promoting technology-based economic  development. TTF
does so by  (1) providing specialized support to area economic development
organizations in targeting  and recruiting high-tech companies and (2) supporting
technology transfer and commercialization.

Among other activities, the foundation's four staff members:

«   Promote and nurture joint efforts among Tennessee's universities, federal
    research centers and businesses to enhance economic development through
    collaborative research and  development,  joint ventures, facility access, and
    similar arrangements

«   Provide  leadership or assistance  on major research and  technology-based
    project proposals, such as  the Superconducting Supercollider

«   Promote and offer technical review and writing support  to companies ap-
    plying for federal  Small Business Innovation Research grants

«   Identify  and market Tennessee's research and technological resources

•   Provide  customized assistance in  finding  facilities or  sites for technology-
    based companies

•   Help firms seeking to commercialize federally sponsored and university-
    developed technology

•   Provide assistance to start-up and existing technology-based firms in obtain-
    ing capital and other  resources

ability of field sites at which the behavior,  fate, and remediation  of contamin-
ants  in the subsurface are tested.

The University of Wyoming Center for Environmental Simulation Studies (CESS)
offers developers a five-story environmental  simulation laboratory (ESL) con-
sisting of a  24 foot long, 20 foot wide,  and 10 foot deep concrete lysimctcr
where large soil embankments can be built.   The Center also has  developed
detailed  plans to construct  four  additional ESL laboratories. Rainfall, stream
flow,  groundwater, sunlight, plant life cycles, and climate  can be simulated in
the existing  ESL, which is covered by an environmental chamber.

The existing and planned ESLs allow for the systematic testing of technologies
without the initial cost and monitoring difficulties often encountered with large-
scale  field trials.  Using the  ESL,  developers  can acquire  high quality results
through  a range  of operating  conditions and conducted  at a scale between
bench, laboratory, and field  studies. Contained testing,  such as that at CESS, is
often cost effective, timely, and  offers  a  lower risk than field testing.  The
University of Wyoming also  provides developers access to other  support: facili-
ties and  technical expertise.

Virginia's Center for Innovative Technology (CIT)  is a nonprofit  corporation
created by the Virginia General Assembly to foster the state's technological
growth and competitiveness. CTT matches a company's needs with the R&D
capabilities  of faculty researchers and laboratories at Virginia universities.
CIT provides immediate  technology  transfer and assistance to Virginia com-
panies at no  cost.  The  center strives to help  developers initiate research
within six weeks of contact with  CIT.

CIT will match Virginia companies in need of technical assistance  with uni-
versity experts. CTT also responds to proposals for funding from  the  com-
pany  and university  pairs. CIT helps to pull  technologies out of Federal
laboratories so that they  can be set up at private companies. CIT also  works
with universities to develop protocols,  that can  be sold at a low cost to
Virginia small businesses.

CIT funds and conducts industry-driven research at the University of Virginia,
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Old Dominion University,
Virginia Commonwealth  University,  George Mason University, and the Col-
lege of William and Mary  and funds and operates technology development
centers and institutes.

The  U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) is playing a
major role in development of technologies for cleanup of toxic and hazardous
waste in military and civilian  sites.  Basic and applied research  efforts  are
coordinated through WES's  Hazardous Waste Research Center (IIWRC) that
opened in fiscal year 1988.  The HWRC provides research and development
and  innovative technology demonstration support  to  all Corps of Engineers
Districts and Divisions, the ten EPA regions under the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act, the Superfund program and the Assessment and Remediation
of Contaminated Sediments program under the Clean Water Act.  The HWRC
conducts research at all  levels, from  initial laboratory investigations to  the
development and  application  of new  and innovative technologies on site.
Research is performed on a cost reimbursement basis and executed through a
variety of federal funding arrangements, including work with  the private
sector under cooperative research  and development agreements  (CRDAs) to
expedite transfer of remediation technologies to the  governmental  and pri-
vate  sector.
