Innovative Ground-Water
Remediation  Conferences
June  6-7, 2000

                         WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

                         As site remediation professionals learn more about the difficulties of locating and remediating
                         DNAPLs, understanding the latest developments and information in remediation technologies
                         becomes more critical. 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.

                         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.

                                               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.
