United States Environmental Protection Agency Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response Washington, DC 20460 Office of Research and Development Washington, DC 20460 Superfund EPA/540/F-94/500 5th Forum on Innovative Hazardous Waste Treatment Technologies: Domestic & International May 3-5, 1994 The Ramada Congress Hotel Chicago, Illinois, USA ------- ------- CONFERENCE GOALS AND OVERVIEW The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, (Tech- nology Innovation Office), Office of Research and Development (Risk Reduction Engineering Labora- tory) and Region V are sponsoring this conference. The goals of the conference are: • to help introduce promising innovative do- mestic and international hazardous waste treatment technologies through technical pa- per and poster displays • to showcase results of the U.S. EPA Super- fund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program • to present selected case studies of innova- tive technology applications • to highlight partnerships with EPA through the Federal Technology Transfer Act (FTTA) Program and the Small Business Adminis- tration (SBA). The overall aim is to increase awareness in the user community of technologies ready for application at hazardous waste sites. This 3-day conference consists of presentations of technical papers and posters by international and domestic vendors of technologies for the treatment of hazardous wastes, including soils, sludges, sedi- ments, and groundwater. Selected case studies will be presented, providing results of application of in- novative technologies in real-life situations. A concurrent session will be held on Wednesday that will include discussions of Partnerships with U.S. Environmental r.o'-:ibn Agency Region 5, Library (PL.-12J) ^ 77 West JackSOn Boulevard l?th F!r,Ar^x9 Printed on Recycled Paper Chicago, ILr 60604-3590 ' ------- EPA in the Development of Innovative Technologies and the Export Assistance Center, a cooperative government effort directed at international technolo- gies in the world marketplace. A closing Plenary Session will be devoted to a dis- cussion of environmental technology exports. A discussion of the issue will be provided from the perspective of North American Free Trade Agree- ment (NAFTA) partners from the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. WHO SHOULD ATTEND The target audience for the conference includes EPA Regional and State Agency staff, Federal, state, and private clean-up contractors, potentially re- sponsible parties, facility owners/operators, vendors of hazardous waste control technologies, DOE and DOD representatives, and others who may be in- terested in commercial interaction with domestic and international companies. REGISTRATION INFORMATION There is no fee to attend the conference. However, all attendees must register by mail or fax. Please fill out the registration form included in this brochure and return to SAIC by Friday, April 22, 1994. Con- firmation notices will be sent within 10 days of re- ceipt of your registration. Travel information will be provided in the confirmation letter. POSTER SESSIONS More than 100 posters will be on display at the two evening Poster Sessions/Receptions. Posters from EPA's Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation ------- (SITE) Programs and international vendors will be on display, providing attendees with an opportunity to interact with the vendors of these innovative tech- nologies. FIELD TRIP A field trip to the Institute of Gas Technology (IGT) is planned. The field trip tentatively includes a tour of IGT's bioremediation laboratories; activities rang- ing from microbial train development to bioreactor design are conducted in these facilities. IGT also operates large process-development and pilot-scale facilities; remediation and waste reduction technolo- gies being developed at this site include fluidized- bed soil agglomeration, cyclonic combustion, and ultra-low-emission premixed burners. The fee for the tour is $6.00, which includes trans- portation. This fee will be collected onsite when you register at the tour sign-up desk (first-come, first-served basis). More information will be pro- vided at the Forum. PROCEEDINGS A formal Proceedings will be produced and each registered attendee will receive a copy. If you will not be attending the Symposium, but would like a copy of the Proceedings, check the appropriate box on the Registration Form. OTHER SPECIAL ACTIVITIES During the Forum EPA exhibits and databases re- lated to remediation of uncontrolled hazardous waste sites will be on display including: Vendor In- formation System for Innovative Treatment Tech- ------- nologies (VISITT), Alternative Treatment Technol- ogy Information Center (ATTIC), Superfund Inno- vative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program, and Federal Technology Transfer Act (FTTA) Program. In addition, Canada's Development and Demonstra- tion of Site Remediation Technologies (DESRT) exhibit will be on display. Videotapes will be shown on special topics. Attendees may use a designated hotel conference room for small meetings (up to 12 people). A sign- up sheet for scheduling will be available onsite. An informal outing for spouses is planned.
