FEDERAL REMEDIATION TECHNOLOGIES ROUNDTABLE
Remediation Case Studies:
Fact Sheet and Order Form
Introduction
Increasing the cost-effectiveness of site remediation is a
national priority. The selection and use of more cost-
effective remedies requires better access tc data on the
performance and cost of technologies used in the field.
To make data more widely available, member agencies of
the Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable are
working jointly to publish case studies of full-scale
remediation and demonstration projects. The Roundtable
has published 37 case study reports organized by tech-
nology into a four-document set; a collection of abstracts
is also available. Future case studies will be based on an
important new Roundtable Guide for documenting future
site cleanups.
Contents of Case Study Reports
The 37 case study reports prepared by the Federal agen-
cies describe both above-ground and in situ technolo-
gies. Twenty-two of the projects are completed. Case
studies are available in four separate volumes:
Remediation Case Studies: Bioremediation
Remediation Case Studies: Groundwater Treatment
Remediation Case Studies: Soil Vapor Extraction
Remediation Case Studies: Thermal Desorption,
Soil Washing, and In Situ Vitrification
Exhibit 1 lists the case studies contained in each report,
with the contaminants and matrix addressed, the quantity
or volume of material treated, and the duration of the
project. Each case study is 10-30 pages long and docu-
ments project design, operation, performance, cost, and
lessons learned. Graphics include concentration distribu-
tion, site stratigraphy, and treatment schematics.
Abstracts of Remediation Case Studies
This document contains 2-page abstracts of all 37 cleanup
case study reports. Each abstract describes the site and
waste treated, waste source, technology, period of opera-
tion, technology vendor, technology description, contami-
nants and media treated, regulatory requirements, sum-
mary of performance and Cost, points of contact, and the
significance of the application.
Guide to Documenting Cost and Performance for
Remediation Projects
The Roundtable has prepared this Guide to better capture
Federal agency cleanup experience. The Guide provides
recommended procedures for documenting the matrix char-
acteristics and technology operation, performance, and cost.
Recommendations include specific parameters to measure
and report for the following 13 conventional and innova-
tive cleanup technologies:
In Situ Soil Remediation
Soil Bioventing
Soil Flushing
Soil Vapor Extraction
Groundwater Remediation
Groundwater Sparging
In Situ Groundwater
Bioremediation
Pump-and-Treat
Ex Situ Soil Remediation
Composting
Incineration
Land Treatment
Slurry-Phase Soil
Bioremediation
Soil Washing

Thermal Desorption
Order Information
Abstracts of Remediation Case Studies and Guide to Docu-
menting Cost and Performance for Remediation Projects
are available free-of-charge from the U.S. EPA/National Cen-
ter for Environmental Publications and Information (NCEPI),
P.O. Box 42419, Cincinnati, OH 45242, or FAX requests to
(513) 489-8695. The four Remediation Case Study docu-
ments are available from the National Technical Information
Services (NTIS) at (703) 487-4650. Prices and additional
ordering instructions are on the last page of this fact sheet.
On-Line Access
The case study abstracts are available on-line through EPA's
Cleanup Information Bulletin Board System (CLU-IN). To
access CLU-IN by modem, call (301) 589-8366, or to contact
the CLU-IN help desk, call (301) 589-8368. CLU-IN is avail-
able on the Internet; the telnet address is clu-in.epa.gov or
134.67.99.13.
The Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable consists of senior executives from eight agencies with an interest in site
remediation technology. The Roundtable meets twice each year to coordinate the exchange of information on remediation technolo-
gies and to consider cooperative efforts. Primary members include the U.S. Departments of Defense, Energy, and Interior, and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Other participants include the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, Tennessee Valley Authority, and the U.S. Coast Guard.
