New Technology Transfer Publications
Manual: Constructed Wetlands and Aquatic Plant
Systems for Municipal Wastewater Treatment (#1022)
This new publication is being made available on site to
attendees of the 61st Annual Conference and Exposition of the
Water Pollution Control Federation in Dallas, Texas, October
2-6, 1988. It compiles all available design and operating
criteria for the various systems and includes the following
sections:
• Aquatic Treatment Systems
• Environmental and Health Considerations
• Design of Constructed Wetlands
• Design of Aquatic Plant Systems
• Case Studies and Design Examples
These systems include natural and constructed wetlands,
ponds, raceways and other structures that are based on
combinations of aquatic plants and animals. Interest in aquatic
treatment systems for wastewater can be attributed to four
basic factors.
1. Public demands for more stringent wastewater effluent
standards, including removal of nutrients and trace
contaminants as well as organic and suspended matter;
2. Rapidly escalating costs of construction and operation
associated with conventional treatment facilities;
3. Recognition of the natural treatment functions of aquatic
plant systems and wetlands, particularly as nutrient sinks
and buffering zones; and
4. In the case of wetlands, emerging or renewed application
of aesthetic, wildlife, and other incidental environmental
benefits associated with the preservation and
enhancement of wetlands.
Manual: Waste Minimization Opportunity Assessment
(#7003)
This new publication has been developed to assist waste
generators in meeting current demands to reduce waste. Basic
information is provided in developing a waste minimization
audit program, with most of the material focused to assist
manufacturing facilities. However the generic approach utilized
in this manual is presented so that much of this subject matter
is applicable to other segments of industry, government or
business.
The manual is to be used as a source of concepts and
ideas. It begins with definitions of terms used in waste
minimization practices. This is followed by brief discussions of
incentives for waste minimization and economic
considerations.
Five phases of a waste minimization audit program are
outlined in this manual:
Planning and organization
Information gathering
Work minimization audits
Feasibility analysis
Program implementation
Waste minimization audit procedures incorporated in the
manual are intended to motivate the user to search, screen
and put into practice measures involving administrative,
material, or technology changes that result in decreased waste
generation.
Waste Minimization action is a policy specifically
mandated by the U.S. Congress in its Hazardous and Solid
Waste Amendments of 1984 to RCRA, and with the
unprecedented increase in cost of waste management, a
heightened general interest in waste minimization is now at
hand. Additional contributing factors to interest in waste
minimization is the desire on the part of generators, to reduce
their environmental impairment liabilities under the provisions
of CERCLA (Superfund).
Future Technology Transfer Meetings
Seminar Series: Leak Detection Methods for
Underground Storage Tanks
Four seminars will be held this Fall to acquaint the
environmental technical community with methods for detecting
leaks from underground storage tanks (USTs). The seminars
will be presented in the following locations:
San Francisco, CA - September 12-13, 1988
King of Prussia, PA - September 26-27, 1988
Atlanta, GA - October 27-28. 1988

this information through studies conducted by its Risk
Reduction Engineering Laboratory in Edison, NJ and the
Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory in Las Vegas,
NV.
These two-day seminars are designed for manufacturers
of leak detection equipment and instruments, environmental
consultants who must choose which tests to use, and
-------
contractors who perform leak detection tests. The agenda will
cover internal and external tank testing methods, as follows:
Part I: Overview of UST Leak Detection
Part II: Internal Tank Leak Detection Methods
• Performance of UST Leak Detection Methods
• Evaluation Methodology
• Volumetric Tank Testing
• Line Leak Detection
• Automatic Tank Gauging Systems
• Selection of In-Tank Detection Option
Part III: External Tank Leak Detection (second day)
• Background
• Site Assessment/Risk Assessment
• Groundwater Monitoring
• Vapor Monitoring
• Setting Alarm Levels
Part IV: Integrating Internal and External Methods
• Deciding on a Monitoring Strategy
• Panel Discussion
There is no fee for attending these seminars. For

Seminar Series: Field Evaluations of Municipal
Wastewater Treatment Technologies
Five two-day seminars will be conducted, presenting
advances in municipal wastewater treatment. Advances in
municipal wastewater treatment technology continue to
develop at a dramatic pace, with several hundred Innovative
and Alternative (I/A) projects now in operation across the
country. Many studies have been undertaken by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency to ascertain actual field-
scale performance and capital and O&M costs of I/A
technologies, as well as to document problems encountered
with their design, construction, and operation. Specifically,
this seminar series will:
• Provide actual full-scale operating data to improve the
data base of design engineers and their client
municipalities in properly considering alternative
municipal wastewater collection and treatment systems
and in performing accurate cost-effective analyses of
these alternatives. This will increase the probability of
optimum system choice.
• Identify problem technologies that have not performed as
anticipated, necessitating modification and/or
replacement (M/R) actions The performance, design,
and operation of these technologies will be discussed.
This seminar series will present information on several
new technologies not covered in previous seminars, as well
as newly developed design, performance, and operating data
on some technologies that were. The information presented
will be of major benefit to those involved in the evaluation,
design, and/or approval of municipal wastewater systems,
especially I/A technology applications.
Specific technologies to be addressed include: sulfide
corrosion of sewers, rainfall-induced infiltration, exfiltration,
intrachannel clarifiers, draft tube aeration, constructed
wetlands, UV disinfection, in-vessel composting, low-
energy incineration.
The seminars will be presented in the following locations:
Schenectady, NY - December 7-8, 1988
Charlotte, NC - January 9-10, 1989
Chicago, IL - January 12-13, 1989
Spokane, WA - January 23-24, 1989
San Francisco, CA - January 26-27, 1989
There is no registration fee. Additional information can be
obtained by contacting: Denis Lussier, USEPA-CERI, 26 W.

Workshop Series: Bioremediation of Hazardous
Waste Sites
A series of two-day workshops is being developed to an
in-depth look at assessing the viability of biosystems for the
treatment of hazardous wastes and implementating onsite
remediation. These workshops will focus on:
• identification of the necessary site or waste
characteristics to utilize biological treatment
• evaluation of the role of treatability tests in assessing
performance
• application of appropriate reactor design and/or in-situ
treatment
• evaluation of pre- and post-biotreatment operations
and life-cycle design.
These workshops will be offered in early 1989, in 8-10
major industrial areas. There is no registration fee. For further
information contact Fran Kremer, USEPA-CERI 26 W. Martin
Luther King Drive. Cincinnati, Ohio 45268.
Workshop Series: Emerging Technologies for
Upgrading Existing or Designing New Drinking
Water Treatment Facilities
These 2-1/2 day workshops are sponsored and
organized by a local section of the American Water Works
Association (AWWA) and EPA's Regional Offices, as well as
Offices of Drinking Water and Research and Development.
The workshops will present technical information on proven
technologies to encourage their use in either plans for
process modification or new construction. Removal processes
for lead, radon, volatile organics, synthetic organics and
disinfection byproducts are discussed along with filtration,
disinfection and corrosion control technologies.
These sessions are primarily intended for regional, state
and local drinking water regulatory personnel who approve
plans for the construction of new or the upgrading of existing
drinking water treatment facilities. Consulting engineers and
drinking water treatment equipment manufacturers will also
find these workshops helpful.
Workshops have to date been held in Philadelphia, PA,
St. Louis, MO, Tallahassee, FL, San Francisco, CA, and
Spokane, WA. Future workshop dates and locations are as
follows.

waste minimization in industry is being developed. These
workshops will focus on audit, management, and engineering
applications for waste minimization and reduction
opportunities in several key industries.
A substantial part of the workshop program will be
devoted to industry-specific sessions that will be conducted
simultaneously to allow attendees to participate in the session
of their interest. Case studies of successful application of
waste minimization will also be presented. In addition,
attendees will have the opportunity for direct problem
solving of hypothetical waste minimization situations.
Tentative plans are to hold workshops in Atlanta,
Baltimore, Chicago, Houston, and Seattle. Individuals on the
mailing list to receive this Newsletter will receive a copy of
the announcement for this workshop series when it is
completed. The announcement will contain a final agenda,
dates, and locations for the workshops.
There will be no registration fee for these workshops.

Seminars on "Corrective Action
Technologies and Applications" Completed
The fifth in this series of seminars was held in Los Angles
on June 14-15, 1988 at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel.
These Seminars provided information on alternative
technologies for implementing corrective measures when
RCRA/CERCLA cleanup activities are required.
The seminars covered the basic screening methods for
evaluating suitable technologies along with examples of
successful applications in the field. Specific topics included
polluntant containment, preinvestigative measures, chemical
detoxification methods, biological treatment, thermal
treatment, solidification/stablization of wastes, and
management issues for successfully implementing corrective
measures. These topics also dealt with interim as well as long
term management and technology application issues
involving corrective measure implementation.
Work is underway to produce a Technology Transfer
Seminar Publication that will be available in early 1989.
Workshop on "Drinking
Contamination" Completed
Water
The fourteenth in this series of workshops was held at the
Hilton Inn in Valley Forge/King of Prussia, Pennsylvania,
August 22-24, 1988. These workshops were designed with
input from States and USEPA Regional representatives to
address their specific program needs for responding
effectively to drinking water contamination incidents when
they occur. They were also designed to provide consistent
processes for officials involved in managing drinking water
contamination incidents nationwide.
Topics included health effects of contaminants, analytical
methods, and best available treatment technologies for three
major classes of chemicals: volatile organics, inorganics and
pesticides. Current regulatory initiatives were discussed, and
an overview of USEPA's Office of Drinking Water Health
Advisory Program was given.
Each workshop attendee had an opportunity to take part
in hands on case studies designed to demonstrate risk
assessment and risk management procedures for specific
chemicals of concern (i.e., aldicarb, TCE and vinyl chloride).
Methods of risk communication were also examined.
Speakers were from EPA's Office of Drinking Water,
Office of Research and Development and regional offices,
state and local offices, and consulting organizations.
Work is underway to produce a Technology Transfer
Seminar Publication that will be available this Fall. Additional
information can be obtained by contacting Jim Smith,
USEPA-CERI, 26 W. Martin Luther King Drive, Cincinnati,

AWWA National Meeting and Convention
The EPA Offices of Research and Development (ORD)
and Drinking Water (ODW) cooperated in an exhibit at the
June 19-23, 1988 American Water Works Association
National Meeting in Orlando, Florida. Approximately 11,000
state and utility personnel along with consultants,
manufacturers and academicians registered for this meeting.
As part of the exhibit, ORD demonstrated the Integrated
Risk Management System (IRIS). IRIS is an electronic data
base containing health risk and EPA regulatory information on
specific chemicals. It was developed for EPA staff in
response to the growing demand for consistent risk
information on chemical substances for use in decision-
making and regulatory activities. IRIS is accessible to state
and local environmental health agencies. It is available to
libraries, private citizens and other organizations through
Dialcom, Inc. Electronic Mail telecommunications system.
Also, as part of the exhibit, ORD displayed and made
available to participants the following publications that are
pertinent to the Agency's Drinking Water Program. These

The SITE Program and Information
Clearinghouse - Update
In 1986, EPA's Offices of Solid Waste and Emergency
Response and Research and Development established the
Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation or SITE
program. The purpose is to assist technology developers in
the evaluation of new and innovative treatment, measurement,
and monitoring technologies. Through treatment technology
demonstrations, the SITE program seeks to encourage the
use of alternative or innovative treatment 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-scale
technology demonstration and evaluation project with a
developer at a Superfund site. The developer demonstrates
the technology, while EPA evaluates the performance of the
technology, its reliability and costs. In addition, EPA is
assisting private industry in developing emerging
technologies from the conceptual stage to pilot-scale
demonstration through cost-sharing agreements.
EPA will document the SITE demonstration results in
reports to be made available to Federal, State and private
cleanup managers and other interested parties. Recognizing
that access to this, and other treatment information, is
essential to the acceptance and use of alternative
technologies, the SITE program developed an Information
Clearinghouse to collect, synthesize and disseminate
technology performance data. The clearinghouse has three
components:
• 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 five 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. For more
information on the clearinghouse, contact the hotline at 800-
424-9346 or (FTS) 382-3000 in Washington, DC. Several
reports will be available shortly from the SITE program. A
final report on the Peak Oil demonstration in Brandon, Florida,
will be available this fall, along with a project summary
containing pertinent results and performance data.
The Superfund Innovative Technology
Evaluation Program, Progress and
Accomplishments - A Report to Congress
EPA is required to submit a report to Congress annually
on the progress and results of the SITE program. This Report
presents the accomplishments during FY 1987 and through
January 30, 1988 During this period a demonstration
program, measurement and monitoring techniques
development program, and technology transfer program were
developed.
The primary focus has been on the demonstration
program where the major objective is to develop reliable
performance and cost information on innovative technologies
so they can be considered in Superfund decision making. At
the close of FY 1987, 20 developers had been selected to
participate in the program, ten from each of two solicitation
cycles. This Report (NTIS No. PB 88-237 482) is available

Waste Minimization Audit Report: Case Studies of
Minimization of Solvent Wastes and Electroplating
Wastes at a DOD Installation
The U.S. EPA's Office of Research and Development is
supporting the development and evaluation of a model
hazardous waste minimization audit (WMA) procedure It uses
the EPA hierarchy of waste minimization (WM) options, with
source reduction being more desirable and recycle/reuse less
desirable. Treatment options, although not considered WM,
are evaluated if neither of the former alternatives is available.
The WMA program has concentrated on ORD's top priority
RCRA K and F waste list Audits were conducted at
generators of K071 and K106 wastes, K048-K052 wastes,
F002-F004 wastes and F006 wastes.
This WMA was carried out at a DOD installation. The
audit was aimed at developing WM options for F002, F004,
and F006 wastes For their electroplating facility, three source
reduction options and two recycle/reuse options were
developed for cadmium/cyanide wastes and two source
reduction options for chromium wastes Implementation of
these options could result in EPA delisting of the F006 wastes
with a payback period from 4 to 21 months, depending on the
choice of options Savings in F006 waste disposal costs could
amount to $120,000, annually For their paint stripping
solvent facilities, the WMA resulted in two source reduction
-------
options yielding a payback from 6 to 8 months, with savings
in waste solvent disposal costs of $53,000, annually. NTIS
PB88-166780 $14.95.
Waste Minimization Audit Report: Case Studies of
Minimization of Mercury-Bearing Wastes at a
Mercury Cell Chloralkali Plant
This WMA was carried out at two mercury cell Chloralkali
plants. These audits were aimed at developing WM options
for K071 and K106 wastes generated at these plants The
mercury level in the high-volume K071 waste (brine
treatment sludge) was too low to permit economical recovery
and recycle However, retorting of the K106 waste (mercury-
bearing wastewater treatment sludge) for mercury recovery
and recycle is technically feasible. Six source reduction
options for the K071 wastes were studied but only one was
technically and/or economically feasible. This option was the
replacement of mercury cells with the newer membrane cell
which is highly capital intensive ($20 million). Two treatment
options were considered for the K071 wastes with their
implementation resulting in dehsting of the waste, a savings in
disposal costs ranging from $325,000 to $380,000, and a
payback period ranging from 2 to 2.3 years. NTIS PB88-
166798 $19.95.
Waste Minimization in the Printed Circuit Board
Industry: Case Studies
The effectiveness of various waste minimization practices
or technologies in the printed circuit board and
semiconductor manufacturing industries was evaluated The
most significant waste streams in these industries are waste
halogenated solvents and metal bearing sludges. This report
presents the findings of case studies conducted at five
printed circuit board manufacturing facilities and one
commercial treatment/recovery facility. Two case studies
focus on the recovery of spent halogenated solvents and the
remaining four cases discuss the recovery or reduction of
metal plating and etching process wastes. Technologies
discussed include ultrafiltration, solvent distillat-
lon/fractionation, electrolysis, as well as reduction and
precipitation. NTIS PB88-161575 $19.95.
Factors in Assessing the Compatibility of FMLs and
Waste Liquids
This project examined various factors in the compatibility
of flexible membrane liners (FMLs) with waste liquids and
other hazardous substances encountered at waste storage
and disposal facilities Factors examined included the
swelling of FMLs and other FML-related compositions in
organics, calculation of the solubility parameters of these
compositions, distribution of organics between aqueous
solutions (e.g. leachates and FMLs), and variables in EPA
Method 9090 compatibility testing of FMLs and waste liquids.

assure the projects are performed consistently and
expeditiously The document has been organized to reflect
the general sequence of events that occurs prior to, during
and after remedial design and remedial action at a Superfund
site. NTIS PB88-107529 $18.95.
Field Studies of In Situ Soil Washing
The U S EPA and Air Force conducted a research
program demonstrating the removal of hydrocarbons from a
sandy soil utilizing in situ soil washing A 50/50 blend of two
commercially available surfactants was used to treat
compounds with soil adsorption constants (K) between 10
and 1,000,000 Contaminants included dichloromethane,
chloroform, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, as well
as aromatics. Results of the studies showed that the aqueous
surfactant solutions were not measurably effective. It is likely
that this same ineffectiveness would occur at other chronic
spill sites with contaminants possessing high soil sorption
values i.e., K > 1,000. Finally, use of in situ soil washing would
require treatment of the groundwater. NTIS PB88-146808
