Ground Water Remedial
Technologies at Fractured
Bedrock Sites
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Technology Innovation Office (TIO), in cooperation with the
Interstate Technology Regulatory Cooperation (ITRC) workgroup, is assembling information on efforts to
identify and remediate contaminated ground water in fractured rock. The goal is to establish a series of 1 to
2 page site profiles that will identify the nature and extent of the contamination, geology affecting site
assessment and remediation efforts, characterization and remediation actions taken or planned, and compile
site contact information for potential users of these technologies. Our intent is to make this information
available via the Internet to assist other professionals or site owners who may be addressing similar
problems.
REMEDIAL ACTIVITIES AT FRACTURED BEDROCK SITES
To assist in information sharing, EPA is making a template available on the Internet in which key site
information can be entered by the interested parties and stored for public review. The template should take
no longer than 25 minutes to complete. The information will be screened by EPA and then shared with the
public on the web site. Updates will be posted as information is received. The information may be
particularly useful to state and Federal regulators or site owners who are involved in such sites.

Inventory of Remedial Activities at Fractured Bedrock
Sites
Data provided will be used by EPA to compile information on currently utilized remedial
technologies in fractured bedrock sites This information will be screened by the EPA TIO
and made available to the fTRC Profiles of each site will be prepared and available for
viewing on the EPA CLU-IN Web site found at hllp.'/ciu-imrg so that professionals in the
field will be able to reference sites similar to their own to determine what course of action
may be best Updates will be posted as information is received by the EPA TIO Your
contributions are greatly appreciated Information on your fractured bedrock site can be

ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION OFFICE
The Technology Innovation Office of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was created in 1990 to act as
an advocate for new technologies. TIO's mission is to increase the applications of innovative treatment
technologies to contaminated waste sites, soils, and groundwater. TIO has encouraged and relied on
cooperative ventures with other partners to accomplish most of its early goals. This effort to leverage
resources has lead to numerous joint efforts that have enhanced the state of remediation. Since its creation,
TIO has worked with many partners inside EPA, in other federal agencies, and in the private sector to
improve the Nation's understanding of remediation treatment technologies and reduce the impediments to
their widespread use.
