REACH IT
REmediation And CHaracterization Innovative Technofogies
What is EPA REACH IT?
Do you need reliable information about remediation
and characterization technologies? Would you like
to know about sites at which these technologies are
being implemented? Or, as a technology vendor,
are you looking for a cost-effective way to market
your innovative treatment or characterization
technologies to key decision makers? The new EPA
REACH IT can help, with more vendors providing the
technologies you need, updated information on
technology applications at Superfund sites, an easier
way to get your technology into EPA REACH IT, and
a faster system.
REmediation And CHaracterization Innovation
Technologies (EPA REACH IT), sponsored by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s Technology
Innovation Office, is a system that uses the Internet to
search, view, download and print information about
innovative remediation and characterization
technologies and their applications. EPA REACH IT is
a free service to both technology providers and
technology users.
It combines information submitted by vendors of
remediation and characterization technologies with
information from EPA, the U.S. Department of
Defense (DoD), the U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE), and state project managers about sites at
which innovative technologies are being deployed.
These sources together provide you with up-to-date
information, about:
S technologies you can use to characterize or
remediate a site,
S sites at which technologies are being used, and
H service providers that offer them.
EPA REACH IT includes a fully searchable database
that lets users identify sites with characterization and
remediation challenges that closely match their own.
What's New in EPA REACH IT?
H Over 100 new technologies were added in the first
half of 2003. Many of these new technologies
address difficult remediation problems, including
chlorinated solvents, non-aqueous phase liquids
JNAPL), fractured rock, and low-permeability clays.
Page 3 lists these new technologies, which include:
New Treatment
In situ thermal treatment (12 technologies)
In situ chemical oxidation (13 technologies)
Phytoremediation (7 technologies)
In situ flushing (7 technologies)
Bioremediation (1 1 technologies)
Other treatment (7 technologies)
New Characterization and Sampling
NAPL characterization and sampling (21
technologies)
Other characterization and sampling (35
technologies)
H New data on Superfund remediation projects,
including updates through March of 2003 of 833
technology applications.
H A revised Vendor Information Form (VIF), including a
new 1-page short form. By completing the 1-page
form included in this Fact Sheet (see insert) you can get
your technology onto the EPA REACH IT system fast.
H Upgraded hardware, including faster, more reliable
servers to ensure you can get the technology
information you need more quickly, and increased
bandwidth, to help EPA REACH IT better serve its
growing number of users.
B New functions, including:
A revised reporting function that lets you download
search results in a spreadsheet format, so that you
can store and edit your search results, or e-mail
them to a colleague.
A new display option, so that you can view all of
the technology and site information for a vendor
with just one click of the mouse.
A more prominent display of vendor contact
information in search results, so that system users
can find contact information for service providers
more easily.

I Am a Technology Vendor. How Can I
Add Information About My Technology to
EPA REACH IT?
You can list your technology information on EPA REACH IT
free of charge by filling out a Vendor Information Form
(VIF). EPA REACH IT contains many types of remediation
and characterization technologies. Eligible technologies
are described on the EPA REACH IT website at
www.epareachit.org on the "About EPA REACH IT" page.
The VIF is available:
H By accessing the EPA REACH IT home page at
http://www.epareachit.org
H By completing the 1 -page form on the insert to
this Fact Sheet, and mailing it to the address
printed on the back.
H By e-mail, with a request to
H In hard copy, with a request from the EPA REACH
IT help line at (800) 245-4505
You also can update existing information by accessing your

What Are Hot Topics in the Cleanup
Community?
We are particularly interested in expanding EPA REACH
IT to include more technologies that address dense
nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPL) and sediment;
technologies of particular interest are:
- In situ thermal treatment
- In situ chemical oxidation
- In situ flushing
- Permeable reactive barriers
- Phytoremediation
- Pump and treat of groundwater contaminated
with perchlorates
What are the Benefits of Being on EPA
REACH IT?
The EPA REACH IT website is widely used by federal
agencies, states, consulting engineering firms,
responsible parties, technology developers, and the
investment community. For example, in May 2003,
the website was visited over 130 times per day,
with the average visit lasting almost 10 minutes.
EPA REACH IT is widely advertised at conferences
and through direct mailings to an extensive list of
potential users.
EPA REACH IT is free to both providers and users
of innovative technologies. You can become part
of EPAREACH IT by investing only the time it takes
to complete the Vendor Information Form [VIF) for
your technology.
The new system has updated site features and functions,
and more technologies, vendors, and sites.
