Innovative Remediation Technologies:
Online Database of Field-Scale
Demonstration Projects in North America
Background
The development of new and innovative technologies
and methods for treating environmental contaminants
is a critical step in the effort to cleanup the nation's
hazardous waste sites. Field demonstration of these
technologies is, in turn, a key step in their develop-
ment. The continuing investment of public and private
resources in demonstration projects represents a
major commitment to promoting the technical and
cost advantages offered by these technologies. The
number of government-sponsored field demonstra-
tion projects of new waste cleanup technologies has
grown to over 600.
Innovative Remediation Technologies:
Field-Scale Demonstration Projects in North
America — Report and Database
EPA compiled information on innovative remediation
technology demonstration projects and reported it in
Innovative Remediation Technologies: Field-Scale
Demonstration Projects in North America, published
in 2000. Up-to-date information on these and new
innovative remediation technology demonstration
projects also is available m a searchable online
database. The report and database consolidate key
reference information in a matrix format that allows
project managers to quickly identify new technologies
that may answer their cleanup needs and provides
contacts for obtaining technology demonstration
results and other information. The online database is
available at: clu-in.org/products/nairt
What types of projects are included in the
database? '
f
The database contains information on completed and
ongoing field-scale demonstrations of innovative
technologies for the treatment of environmental
contaminants. Each project has either a government
partner or sponsor, and covers a technology that is at
or near commercial readiness.
How can the database be searched?
The database can be searched using the following
criteria, individually or combined:

What information does the database provide?
The matrix includes the following information for each
project (as available):
Name of the technology
Type(s) of contaminant(s)
Technical comments
Description of the source
Demonstration date (year)
Report title and reference

-------
How often is the database updated?
EPA gathers information on new and ongoing
projects from published reports, conference proceed-
ings, other government information sources, and
other reference materials on an ongoing basis. The
database is updated quarterly.
How can I submit information on a new
project or update an existing one?
EPA encourages technology vendors, developers,
and other public-private partners for the development
of innovative technologies to submit information on
demonstration projects that they would like to see
included in the database, or provide updated informa-
tion on existing projects. Information may be submit-
ted to John Quander of EPA's Technology Innovation
Office using the contact information below. All infor-
mation submitted is reviewed by EPA prior to inclu-
sion in the database.
