There'are very few guidelines and handbooks explaining the use of these technologies because of the uncertainties associated with their newness. These confer- ences will provide speakers who will discuss the developmental status and use of technologies that treat ground-water plumes and mobilize or destroy DNAPLs. WHO SHOULD ATTEND The conferences are oriented toward remediation professionals from government, research and development institutions, universities, and the consulting and site remediation sectors. LODGING INFORMATION A block of rooms has been reserved for conference attendees at the Radisson Boston Hotel (617/482-1800) through May 25. When making reservations, refer to the "EPA Ground-water Meeting." The room rate for all attendees has been set at the government rate of $192 per night plus -12:45% tax: •- _. .._..._... TRAVEL INFORMATION The conference is being held at the Radisson Boston Hotel, 200 Stuart Street, Boston, MA, 02116. The Radisson Boston Hotel is located in downtown Boston, and is accessible by Boston's subway system and car (on-site parking is available at $19 for 24 hours and $15 per day during working hours). In addition, AMTRAC's Back Bay Station is 6 blocks from the hotel. For those arriving by air, taxicab fare from the airport is $15-20. The Back Bay Coach shuttle to the hotel is $7.50. Also, the airport shuttle will take you to the subway system, which has two stops within a block of the hotel-the Arlington Street and Boylston Street stops. A map of the area will be sent on receipt of registration information. ------- In Situ Thermal Treatment In situ treatment, in general, has seen increasing popularity. In situ ap- proaches offer potential for reduced cost, reduced disruption at sites with ongoing industrial activity, and reduced risk. Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) is a notable example of an increasingly popular in situ technology. EPA's Technology Innovation Office (TIO) will present an all-day seminar on in situ thermal treatment. The presentation will provide practitioners and decision-makers with essential and up-to-date informa- tion on this promising remedial approach. Recent developments in in situ thermal treatment offer the potential for improving the effectiveness while reducing the costs of remedial actions. Thermal energy can be applied to enhance the effectiveness of technolo- gies such as SVE, and as a stand-alone technology, can be used to „ address semi-volatile and nonvolatile contaminants not readily amenable to vapor extraction. The seminar will include presentations on the principal methods pres- ently employed to heat the subsurface to recover or destroy contami- nants. Technologies to be discussed include: - Dynamic Underground Stripping/Hydrous Pyrolysis Oxidation - In Situ Steam Stripping; - Radio Frequency Heating; - Six-Phase Electrical Heating; and - Electrical Conductive Heating. The conference will include a discussion of fundamental principles, design considerations and limitations, and case studies. Although case studies will involve particular technologies and vendors, the purpose is to increase the basic understanding of the capabilities of these innovative approaches to remediation.
