• Solidification/Stabilization Processes
Information is also provided on engineering factors to
consider when conducting a Remedial Field Investigation in
conjunction with a pre-screenmg approach for potential
corrective measure technology selection. The concluding
section of the publication addresses implementation strategies
for corrective measure technology applications.
Seminar Publication: Solvent Waste Reduction
Alternatives (62514-89/021)
This publication contains edited versions of presentations on
this subject made at five seminars in the Spring of 1988.
Chapters are included on land disposal regulations and
requirements; waste solvent disposal alternatives from various
industries such as process equipment cleaning, parts cleaning,
and coatings; on-site and off-site reclamation; reuse, and waste
minimi2ation. The community's right-to-know of the use of
hazardous waste by industry in a community is also
addressed. Treatment alternatives are presented also.
Seminar Publication: Requirements tor Hazardous
Waste Landfill Design, Construction and Closure
(625/4-89/022)
This publication contains edited versions of the material
presented at ten seminars conducted in 1988 on this subject.
Sections are included on design of clay and flexible membrane
liners, leachate collector systems, and landfill covers
Construction quality assurance and control is discussed and
includes sections on clay and flexible membrane construction
procedures. Liner compatibility with wastes is discussed, along
with test procedures used to evaluate chemical compatibility.
Long-term considerations are discussed, with emphasis on
problem areas and unknowns.
Handbook. Guide to Technical Resources for the
Design of Land Disposal Facilities(625/6-88/018)
This Handbook has been developed to facilitate the
preparation and processing of land disposal permit
applications It directs the regulated community and the
regulators to the appropriate EPA technical resource
documents, as they prepare or review permits required under
PL 480 (RCRA).
States and local governments as well as design engineers
requiring information on both hazardous (Subtitle C) and non-
hazardous (Subtitle D) waste facilities will quickly recognize
what requirements (laws or policy) are to be met, why these
requirements are necessary and where to find additional
information on disposal facilities. Topics discussed in detail
include:
• Foundations
• Dike integrity and slope stability
• Liner systems
• Cover systems
• Run on/run-off controls
While the subjects addressed in this Handbook are those
that frequently arise in preparing and reviewing permit
applications, the information and references provided may also
be useful in designing and operating land disposal facilities,
both hazardous and non-hazardous.
Handbook: Guidance on Setting Permit Conditions
and Reporting Trial Burn Results (625/6-891019)
This Handbook provides guidance for establishing
operational conditions for incinerators. The document provides
a means for state and local agencies to achieve a level of
consistency in setting permit conditions that will result in
establishment of more uniform permit conditions nationwide. It
has been developed to assist permit writers in translating trial
burn results into site-specific operational conditions in an
incinerator permit.
Contents include a detailed discussion of control
parameters, design considerations, and suggested reporting
formats. These parameters are presented in the document
along with guidance on how to develop permit operating
conditions using the trial burn data. The guidance will also
assist applicants in planning trial burns to address the key
operating parameters that must be measured and emphasize
-------
the necessity to test "worst-case" operations to enable permit
applicants to tailor their proposed operating conditions to the
needs of their facility.
This document is part of the Hazardous Waste Incineration
Guidance Series prepared by EPA to assist both the applicant
and the permit writer in the RCRA process leading to a final
operating permit for hazardous waste incinerators.
Handbook: Retrofitting POTWs (625/6-89/020)
This Handbook updates, expands, and replaces previous
publication: Improving POTW Performance Using the
Composite Correction Program Approach. Both the
Comprhensive Performance Evaluation (CPE) and CCP
phases of the total approach to POTW performance
improvement have been modified. Criteria for evaluating
stabilization pond systems are now included in the CPE
phase; criteria for evaluating/selecting technologies applicable
for retrofitting POTWs have been added to the CCP phase.
Report: Injection Well Mechanical Integrity (625/9-
89/007)
This report, orgiinally published in 1987, has been updated
with new test methods for mechanical integrity testing. Fifteen
leak test well designs, testing criteria, and test summaries are
included.
A 3-phase research project was conducted by the Robert
S. Kerr Environmental Research Laboratory to determine
state-of-the-arty methods for mechanical integrity testing of
injection wells and to field test specific analyses methods.
This document describes the results of mechanical integrity
testing in two specially constructed test wells..
Report; Volumetric Tank Testing: An Overview
(625/9-89/009)
This 40-page document provides information to aid readers
in meeting requirements of the regulations governing
underground storage tanks. It is intended for state and local
regulators and small tank owners and operators.
Volumetric tank testing is a viable means of monitoring
underground storage tanks for leaks. Volumetric testing can
meet regulatory standards and is an important tool in
minimizing the effects of leaks from underground storage
tanks. This document: 1) describes the results of an EPA
study that evaluated volumetric tank tests for detecting leaks
in tanks; 2) explains the accuracy requirements specified in
the regulations, and 3) presents information that will aid the
user in selecting a volumetric tank test method that meets
these regulations.

The SITE Program and Information
Clearinghouse - Update
In 1986, EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency
Response and Office of Research and Development
established the Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation
or SITE program. The purpose is to assist technology
developers in the evaluation of innovative treatment.
measurement and monitoring technologies. Through treatment
technology demonstrations, the SITE program seeks to
encourage the use of innovative technologies at Superfund
and other hazardous waste sites to achieve more permanent
protection of human health and the environment.
Under the program, EPA jointly conducts full or pilot-scale
technology demonstration and evaluation projects with a
developer, usually at a Superfund site. The developer
demonstrates the technology, while EPA evaluates
performance of the technology, its reliability and costs. In
addition, EPA is assisting private industry in developing
emerging treatment technologies from the conceptual stage to
engineering scale through one- or two-year cost-sharing
agreements.
EPA is documenting the SITE demonstration results in
reports to be made available to Federal, State and private
cleanup managers and other interested parties. EPA prepares
two reports concerning each technology field demonstration.
The Technology Evaluation Report details the actual field
demonstration, and the Applications Analysis Report gives an
m-depth discussion of the general performance and
applicability of each technology based on data from the
demonstration as well as other sources.
The SITE program is in its third year, and there are
currently 29 participants in the Demonstration Program,
offering technologies that include solvent extraction, soils
washing, thermal destruction, in-situ steam and air stripping,
biological treatment, and solidification/stabilization. Ten field
demonstrations have been completed, and approximately 10
more are scheduled before the end of this calendar year. The
first seven emerging technologies projects have been
underway for almost a year.
-------
As part of the technology transfer effort, the SITE program
is developing an information clearinghouse to collect,
synthesize, and disseminate technology performance
information. Three components of the clearinghouse are in
place:
• A hotline provides callers with up-to-date information on
SITE projects, demonstration schedules and the availability
of the results, and also refers callers to other sources of
information. The number is 800-424-9346 or (FTS) 382-
3000 in Washington, DC.
• An electronic bulletin board, part of a planned
computerized database network, provides summary
information on the SITE projects, demonstration schedules
and results. Since we are in the pilot phase, this bulletin
board is currently only available to Federal and State
hazardous waste cleanup personnel. These personnel may
contact Jim Cummings, EPA's Office of Solid Waste and
Emergency Response, 202-382-4686 (FTS 382-4506), for
information on joining the electronic bulletin board.
• A collection of reports, journals and other documents is
housed in the EPA Library's Hazardous Waste Collection.
This collection is available at EPA Headquarters and is
accessible using onsite personal computers at EPA's 10
regional office and 5 laboratory libraries. SITE documents
will be added as they become available.
EPA envisions expanding this Information Clearinghouse to
include data generated by other EPA programs and other
Federal agencies and State hazardous waste cleanup
projects. For more information on the clearinghouse, contact
the hotline in Washington, D.C.

Supporting the Environmental Research Community:
EPA's Office of Exploratory Research
The Office of Exploratory Research (OER) is the primary
contact between EPA and the environmental research
community. OER has four main goals:
• supporting the environmental research community in its
work on fundamental environmental research, thereby
promoting a solid foundation of knowledge and a cadre of
scientific and technical personnel in the environmental
sciences;
• promoting awareness of EPA needs within the
environmental research community and to encourage
researchers to work on problems of interest to EPA;
• supporting long-range research which will help EPA get
"ahead of the curve" in regulatory decision-making; and
• promoting close interaction and mutual awareness among
EPA researchers and the environmental research
community.
OER has several programs to support environmental research
and researchers'
Research Programs
Most of the research supported hy OER is fundamental, long
range research that focuses on emerging environmental
problem areas or on advanced concepts and techniques in the
environmental sciences and engineering.
Research Grants
The research grants program supports investigator-initiated
research in environmental science and engineering. Each year
the grants program issues a general solicitation which invites
proposals on topics in five areas of environmental research.
environmental health, environmental biology, environmental
engineering, air chemistry and physics, and water chemistry
and physics.
Embedded in the general solicitation is the Minority Institution
Assistance Program. Under this program, OER provides
assistance to applicants from minority institutions who wish to
prepare applications for grants. Applications from minority
Institutions which are recommended for funding by the grant
peer review panel, but are not ranked high enough to be
supported by the general grants program can be supported
from a small fund set aside for this program.
A Request for Applications is issued when EPA is interested
in a fairly well-defined research area which can be addressed
by a collection of focused studies supported through a grant,
or when EPA wishes to explore a new research area to
ascertain whether and how to support further research in that
area. The research conducted is expected to establish a body
of scientific facts with potential use other than establishing the
feasibility and desirability of a specific research program.
All grants received from either type of solicitation undergo a
rigorous review via standing or ad hoc peer review panels. In
general, about one sixth of the grant proposals received are
supported by OER. The grants program is currently
expanding, with an expected increase in funds from $8 2
million in 1989 to $18.1 million in 1990. The averaqe grant
award is for a two to three year period at about $100
thousamd per year. Copies of the solicitation and qrants

Environmental Research Centers (ERC)
The Environmental Centers Program supports interdisciplinary
research in eight areas chosen 10 years ago by EPA as
sufficiently important to warrant several years of concentrated
effort and stable support. The eight centers and their
specialties are:
University of Pittsburgh -- environmental epidemiology
Cornell University - ecosystems research
University of Rhode Island -- marine science
University of Illinois -- advanced control technology
Illinois Institute of Technology - industrial waste elimination
Rice/Oklahoma/Oklahoma State - ground water
Louisiana State University - hazardous waste
University of California, Los Angeles -- intermedia transport
In I986, thedecision was made to cotinue the phase-out of the
current centers until 1991 and then issue a new center
solicitation. EPA's long-term, theoretical research needs are
being re-examined and program design options evaluated.
When this process is completed, a new solicitation will be
published. The competition is expected to take place in 1991.
The budget for the environmental research centers program is
$4.5 million in 1989, or approximately $540 thousand per
center.
Hazardous Substance Research Centers (HSRC)
In 1989, EPA establishd five university-based research
centers across the country to perform lomg term and short-
term research, as well as technology transfer activities on
topics relating to hazardous substances. EPA partitioned the
country into five geographic areas consisting of the States in
two adjacent Federal regions. One center was selected for
each of these "region-pairs". Although an individual center's
research may be universal in scope, it must perform activities
which coincide with the stated priorities of the States officially
served by the center. Each center comprises a consortium of
universities. The lead institution of each center is listed below,
withthe center's major focus:
New Jersey Institute of Technology -- incineration, in situ
treatment techniques
University of Michigan - biological treatment of organic
contaminants
North Carolina State University -- waste minimization
Kansas State University — removal of metals, mining waste,
and pesticide residues
Stanford -- surface and subsurface contamination
-------
Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program
Federal law requires that 1.25% of EPA's extramural research
be devoted to SBIR. In FY 1989, the SBIR budget was about
$2,500,000. The SBIR Program funds small businesses with
ideas relevant to EPA's mission. It focuses exclusively on
projects in control technology or process instrumentation
development. Proposals are solicited in the fall of each year
for Phase I research. Phase I research consists of feasibility
studies which are supported at a level of $50,000 Of these
Phase I studies, the best are picked for Phase II studies where
actual project development is started. Phase II studies are
supported up to a level of $150,000 About half of the Phase I
efforts have also been supported as Phase II studies. Results
from the SBIR Program are expected to lead to the
commercial development of a product or process used in
pollution control.
Enhancement Programs
In addition to stpporting environmental research, OER funds
programs to stimulate the entry of scientists and engineers
into the various fields of environmental research and
technology, and to sharpen the knowledge and skills of those
already in the field.
Visiting Scientists and Engineers Program (VSEP)
VSEP is intended to attract eminent environmental research
scientists and engineers to EPA's laboratories to direct or
conduct research in collaboration with EPA's researchers. In
January of each year candidates are solicited to serve in full
or part-time appointments of one to three years in areas of
interest to EPA laboratories Applications are reviewed by a
panel of non-EPA scientists and engineers which
recommends candidates to EPA's Assistant Administrator for
Research and Development.
Minority Institution Student Fellowship and Summer
Intern Program
Under this program, the payment of tuition, fees and books,
and a stipend of about $1,200 per year are available for
qualified seniors and graduate students at minority institutions
to develop careers in the environmental sciences via the study
of the physical, biological or computer sciences.
After completion of a fellowship appointment, a summer intern
appointment may be offered to persons participating in the
fellows program, to work at an EPA research laboratory or in
other government or private laboratories conducting
research on topics in environmental science or technology.
Support to the summer interns is in the form of a small
allowance to cover living costs and transportation to the
laboratory of choice,
Environmental Science and Engineering Fellows
Program
OER also sponsors an Environmental Science am
Engineering Fellows Program, a competitive progran
administered by OER through American Association for the
Advancement of Science (AAAS). Each year, ten postdoctora
to mid-career professionals are selected for a ten week tour o
duty during the summer as special research consultants in ar
EPA Washington program office The successful candidate
can be assigned to work in offices dealing with regulation,
research, or enforcement. Applications for these fellowships
are solicited by the AAAS in December
