For  Technology USERS
       How can 1 select the most appropriate
       site characterization*
       Use EPA's vendor Field Analytical and Characterization
       Technologies System Database (Vendor FACTS).
       Developed by EPA's Technology Innovation Office and National Exposure Research
       Laboratory - Las Vegas and offered to users at no charge, Vendor FACTS contains
       information provided by vendors on the applicability, performance, and current use of
       their products. The user friendly system allows users to screen technologies by such
       parameters as contaminants, media, intended use or development status. Version 3.0
       includes 154 technologies provided by I 16 vendors.


       Version 3.0 contains analytical, geophysical, chemical
       extraction,  and sampling technologies
       The database contains information on certain categories of technologies that EPA
       believes may provide the greatest opportunities for streamlining the site assessment
       process. Some of the technologies are listed below:
          •  Air Measurement
          •  Analytical Detectors
          •  Gas Chromatography
          •  Chemical Reaction-Based Indicators
          •  Immunoassay
          •  Soil Gas Analyzer
Cone Penetrometer
Downhole Sensors
X-Ray Flourescence Analyzer
Ground Penetrating Radar

       Vendor FACTS is a service offered by EPA to promote the use of certain categories of
       innovative technologies for field analysis and site characterization. It includes portable or
       transportable technologies for on-site screening, characterizing, monitoring and analysis of
       hazardous substances. Stand alone software used in the field to facilitate or expedite site
       characterization process also is included in the database. Technologies used for monitoring
       industrial process waste streams are not eligible.

       Participation in Vendor FACTS is voluntary, at no charge to the technology vendors.
       Vendors that wish to participate in Version 4.0 of the database must provide to EPA
       information about their site characterization technologies by completing the Vendor
       Information Form (VIF). The VIF, designed to allow vendors to highlight the performance of
       their technologies, can be obtained by returning the attached Order Form. The VIF 4.0 will
       be available by May 1998. Version 4.0 is scheduled for release in Fall 1998.
