Treatment Technologies for Site
Cleanup:  Annual Status Report
(Tenth Edition)
Fact Sheet and Order Information
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA)
Technology Innovation Office (TIO) encourages the
use of innovative, cost-effective technologies for the
characterization and treatment of contaminated waste
sites, soils, and groundwater. To achieve that goal,
TIO works with many partners inside EPA, in other
federal agencies, and in the private sector to identify
better, faster, and cheaper options for cleanup.

TIO is pleased to announce the availability of the
tenth edition of the Treatment Technologies for Site
Cleanup: Annual Status Report (ASR), EPA 542-R-01-
004, which documents the use of treatment
technologies at hazardous waste sites. The report
presents a list and an analysis of Superfund sites
(both remedial and removal actions) at which
treatment technologies are being used. Site managers
can use this report to evaluate cleanup alternatives for
similar sites, while technology vendors can use it to
identify potential markets for their products.  EPA
also uses the information to track progress in the
application of established and innovative treatment
technologies.

Treatment Technologies for Site Cleanup:
Annual Status Report
(Tenth Edition)

The Tenth Edition
documents, as of the
summer of 2000, the
status of treatment
technology applications
at more than 900 soil
and groundwater
cleanup projects in the
Superfund program.
The report examines
both source control  technologies (addressing soil,
sludge, sediment, and other solid-matrix wastes) and
innovative groundwater treatment technologies. The
principal technologies for the treatment of soil and
other solid wastes that are discussed in the report are
soil vapor extraction (SVE),
solidification/stabilization, on-and off-site
incineration, thermal desorption, and bioremediation.
The innovative groundwater treatment technologies
included in this report are air sparging, in situ
                            bioremediation, in situ chemical treatment, dual-phase
                            extraction (for soil and groundwater), thermally
                            enhanced recovery, surfactant flushing, and permeable
                            reactive barriers.

                            The report updates the projects included in the ASR
                            Ninth Edition, and adds information on 66 applications
                            of treatment technologies selected by Superfund Records
                            of Decision (ROD) in FY 1998 and 67 selected in FY
                            1999. The report is based on the analysis of almost
                            2,300 RODs signed since 1982 at 1,451 National Priority
                            list sites. The following are new in the Tenth Edition:
                                   A presentation of the actual remedies being
                                   implemented at Superfund remedial action
                                   sites, on a site-specific basis, based on a
                                   historical review of RODs, ROD
                                   amendments, and Explanations of
                                   Significant Differences (ESDs).
                                   A more detailed look at two innovative
                                   treatment technologies, phytoremediation
                                   and permeable reactive barriers (PRB).
                                   A special analysis of vertical engineered
                                   barriers, one type of groundwater
                                   containment at Superfund remedial action
                                   sites.
                                   A new appendix that describes the
                                   classification of remedy types and RODs.
                            The tenth edition of the ASR has been released in hard
                            copy, HTML, and PDF versions, which are available for
                            ordering, viewing or downloading from the Hazardous
                            Waste Cleanup Information (CLU-IN) website at
                            http:/1clu-in.org/asr. The HTML version includes new
                            features such as downloadable spreadsheets with die data
                            for several of the figures. The data for the ASR have
                            also been incorporated into EPA's REmediation And
                            CHaracterization Innovative Technologies (EPA
