FEEDBACK Your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated and very important
in ensuring that FATE continues to meet the needs of its users. Please use the online
comment form or provide your comments directly to Ann Eleanor of EPA's Technology
Innovation Office (TIO) at (703) 603-7199 or by e-mail to eleanor.ann@epa.gov.
WHAT'S NEXT? New information
related to field analytic technologies
will continue to be posted on a
regular basis. Look for new technol-
ogy modules on geophysics, sam-
pling, and sampling design. In addi-
tion, look for information about one
of EPA's newest related initiatives,
Measurement and Monitoring Tech-
nologies for the 21st Century (21M2).

WHY FATE? The Field Analytic Technologies Encyclopedia (FATE) is an online
encyclopedia, developed jointly by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, that provides a wealth of information about the
many tools that are now available to streamline the site investigation and cleanup
process. Motivated by a need to accomplish cleanups in a more timely and cost-
effective manner, the scientific and engineering communities have been working to
develop technologies and approaches for improving the acquisition, use, and interpretation
of data to provide smarter solutions to environmental problems. FATE includes up-to-
date information about technologies that can be used in the field to characterize
contaminated soil and groundwater; monitor the progress of remedial efforts; and
support decisions about site cleanups.
Managing Sources
of Uncertainty...
WHO WOULD USE FATE? FATE provides a central location for valuable information (links,
documents, photographs, and diagrams) about various techniques used in the field to
characterize contaminated sites. FATE has been developed for use by a wide audience
ranging from highly technical users such as engineers,
field technicians and site managers to the general
public and non-technical users. Information about
technologies is presented in a way that can be easily
understood and used by a broad audience.
How DO I USE FATE? FATE can be accessed through
the World Wide Web at fate.clu-in.org. This easy-
to-use online resource includes information about
various field-based analytical technologies, as well
as useful links to additional resources about the topic.
FATE is organized much like a typical encyclopedia,
with technologies organized according to the
following categories:
