 Partnerships
 for the
 Remediation
 of Hazardous
 Wastes
Through a number of public state-
ments and initiatives, President
Clinton has made both economic
development through public-private
partnerships and environmental
technology innovation priorities of
his Administration.

This publication from the U.S. Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency's
Technology Innovation Office pro-
vides potential private sector part-
ners interested in the development
of new and innovative hazardous
waste technologies with information
on opportunities for entering into
joint public-private development
projects.

These partnerships serve to com-
bine the talent and dollars of the
private sector and the government
to more quickly and efficiently pro-
vide remediation technologies to
      Every dollar we
               invest in
       environmental
 technology will pay
    off in a healthier
          environment
         worldwide, in
      greater market
        share for U.S.
  companies, and  in
        more jobs for
             American
            workers**
       — President Bill Clinton
meet the needs of current and
future hazardous waste cleanup re-
quirements. Public-private partner-
ships provide a means of sharing
risks associated with investment in
new technologies. Federal agencies
contribute technical expertise, while
private partners are able to limit
their financial risk and liability by
obtaining cost and performance
data through an independent
analysis of technology evaluation
results. These partnerships also
bring in regulators early in the de-
velopment process, increasing the
likelihood of regulatory acceptance.
This document includes contacts and
information profiles on four programs
through which EPA and other federal
agencies support emerging technol-
ogy development through partner-
ships with private entities.

Bioremediatioii

Action

Commfnee
The Bioremediation Action Com-
mittee (BAG) is a public-private
partnership of experts from govern-
ment, industry, and academia to im-
prove the use of bioremediation in
the treatment, control, and preven-
tion of environmental contamina-
tion. From the outset, the BAG has
provided a proactive forum for
public and private experts to ad-
vance both the science and practical
field application of bioremediation.

Structure
Representatives from EPA's Technol-
ogy Innovation Office (TIO) and
  National Risk Management Research
  Laboratory serve as co-chairs of the
, fBAC The Committee trtttdesi r;:=
" more than 100 experts in the field
  of bioremediation. BAG members

Partnerships
Through the Clean Sites Public-Pri-
vate Partnerships for technology ac-
ceptance, EPA and Clean Sites, Inc.,
a nonprofit firm, develop partner-
ships between federal agencies
(such as the Departments of De-
fense and Energy) and private in-'
dusty site owners for the joint
evaluation of full-scale remediation:
technologies. The purpose of this  ;
partnership program is to create a \
demand among potential users of ! _
new technologies by allowing the  ;
end-users of the technologies to be
                                involved throughO'Utthe demon-

                                to influence the nature of the data
                                that are collected through the dem-
                                onstration. These data can help site
                                .owners determine the applicability
                                of the technologies to problems at
                                their sites. These partnerships were   ,proposed to TIO and awarded in

From the proposals submitted in re-
sponse and a meeting with the ven-
dors, the Consortium selects full-scale,
commercially-ready technologies
that meet program needs. The   [
Consortium then collaborates with:
the developer to plan and conduct
the test. Based on the evaluation of
performance from the test, the Con--
sprtium verifies performance by issur! _L
ing an evaluation  report accompanied
by a statement of verification.

The Consortium does not provide j
funding to the developer to partici-l
pate in the program. The developer
is  expected to contribute time and |
money to the test. A minimum of j
one field test is required; in most ]
cases two field tests at different  i:
sites are completed. The evaluation: •
plans, implementation of tests, and 
reports are all developed by the
third party verification organization.
 The developer is expected to con-
 duct demonstrations at suitable
•isites. The Consortium supports the
•developer insselecfirig thejsitev ap-
