Foreword
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is charged by Congress with protecting
the Nation's land, air, and water resources. Under a mandate of national environmental laws, the
Agency strives to formulate and implement actions leading to a compatible balance between human
activities and the ability of natural systems to support and nurture life. To meet this mandate, EPA's
research program is providing data and technical support for solving environmental problems today
and building a science knowledge base necessary to manage our ecological resources wisely,
understand how pollutants affect our health, and prevent or reduce environmental risks in the future.
The National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL) is the Agency's center for
investigation of technological and management approaches for preventing and reducing risks from
pollution that threaten human health and the environment. The focus of the Laboratory's research
program is on methods and their cost-effectiveness for prevention and control of pollution to air,
land, water, and subsurface resources; protection of water quality in public water systems;
remediation of contaminated sites, sediments and ground water; prevention and control of indoor
air pollution; and restoration of ecosystems. NRMRL collaborates with both public and private
sector partners to foster technologies that reduce the cost of compliance and to anticipate emerging
problems. NRMRL's research provides solutions to environmental problems by: developing and
promoting technologies that protect and improve the environment; advancing scientific and
engineering information to support regulatory and policy decisions; and providing the technical
support and information transfer to ensure implementation of environmental regulations and
strategies at the national, state, and community levels.
This publication has been produced as part of the Laboratory's strategic long-term research
plan. It is published and made available by EPA's Office of Research and Development to assist the
user community and to link researchers with their clients.

Executive Summary
The Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program has successfully
promoted the development, commercialization and implementation of innovative hazardous waste
treatment technologies for 16 years. SITE offers a mechanism for conducting joint technology
demonstration and evaluation projects at hazardous waste sites involving the private sector, EPA,
and other federal and state agencies. The program provides environmental decision-makers with
relevant data on new, viable remediation technologies that may have performance or cost advantages
compared to conventional treatment technologies. Since the initiation of the SITE Program in 1986,
cleanup of contaminated sites through the use of innovative technologies has resulted in a potential
total inflated cost savings of over $2.7 billion.
The SITE Program focuses on the remediation needs of the hazardous waste remediation
community through program planning; matching priority sites with innovative cleanup solutions;
technology field demonstrations; and information dissemination. The SITE Program's vision is to
remain the premier organization in enhancing the credibility and implementation of effective
innovative remediation options.
The SITE Program continues to earn recognition as a leader in advancing innovative
technology development and commercialization. The program is participating with 149 remediation
technology vendors. Through FY 02, the SITE Program has successfully demonstrated 143
technologies, 6 of which were demonstrated during FY 02. Field monitoring and measurement
technologies for mercury and dioxin in soil and sediment demonstrations were initiated in 2002 as
part of the SITE Monitoring and Measurement Technologies Program. Emphasis formerly placed
on technologies requiring the removal of soil or groundwater (ex situ) has gravitated nearly
exclusively to in situ technologies that treat contamination in place.
Information obtained annually from SITE Program vendors demonstrates the increased
acceptance of innovative technologies. These vendors have received an increased share of their
specific technology markets as a direct result of their involvement in the SITE Program.
Cumulatively, through 2002, contracts for over 2,100 cleanups, nearly 1,400 treatability studies,
and 4,200 measurement/monitoring units have been received by these vendors following
demonstrations.
To ensure that the program continues to meet the needs of the remediation community, the
SITE Program established a remediation stakeholder group. This group, which is composed of such
agencies as EPA, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Energy, reviews innovative
technology applications and develops an environmental emphasis area list, which ensures that the
most pressing issues are prioritized and addressed.

SITE Program Description
Introduction
The SITE Program is composed of a
Demonstration Program, a Monitoring and
Measurement Technology (MMT) Program, and
information transfer. SITE offers a mechanism
for conducting joint technology demonstration
and evaluation projects at hazardous waste sites
through the involvement of the private sector,
EPA, and other federal and state agencies. A
description of each program is listed below.
S Demonstration Program
Evaluates and verifies performance and reports
cost of promising innovative technologies at
selected hazardous waste sites to provide reliable
performance, cost, and applicability information
for site cleanup decision-making
S Monitoring and Measurement
Technologies Program
Evaluates technologies that detect, monitor, and
measure hazardous and toxic substances to
provide more cost-effective and accurate methods
for producing real-time data during site
characterization and remediation
S Information Transfer Activities
Disseminates technical information, including
engineering, performance, and cost data, to assist
in removing barriers for use of innovative and
alternative technologies
The Demonstration Program is the
flagship of the SITE Program. Its objective is to
conduct field demonstrations and high-quality
performance verifications of viable remediation
technologies at sites that pose high risks to
human health and/or the environment, are
common throughout a region or the nation, or
where existing remediation methods are
inadequate, unsafe, or too costly. The SITE
Program solicits applications annually from
those responsible for cleanup operations at
hazardous waste sites. A panel of SITE
Program scientists, engineers, and associated
environmental experts reviews the
applications to identify those technologies
that best represent solutions for the most
pressing environmental problems. The
resulting data and reports are intended for
use by decision-makers in selecting
remediation options and for increasing
credibility in innovative applications.
The Demonstration Program has
participated with a total of 149 remediation
technology vendors. Four applications for
participation in the Demonstration Program
were received in response to the 2002
solicitation. The program typically receives
10 to 20 applications annually.
The SITE Program has successfully
demonstrated 143 technologies, including 6
during FY 02. Recognizing the need for a
shift from ex situ remediation, eight of the
Program's eleven ongoing demonstrations
are in-situ technologies. SITE'S Monitoring
and Measuring Technologies (MMT)
Program has completed 45 projects to date,
with 2 more ongoing.
The foundation of the SITE Program is
providing credible cost and performance
data.

-------
Program Principles
The SITE Program is defined by the
following four operating principles: (1) program
planning, (2) matching priority sites with
innovative cleanup solutions, (3) technology
field demonstrations, and (4) information
dissemination.
Program Planning
SITE Program direction and strategies are
evaluated each year based on input from the user
community and other private- and public-sector
stakeholders to ensure that the program continues
to focus on validating the most sought-after
remediation technologies. As part of the overall
program planning process, the SITE Program has
developed and is implementing a quality
management plan based on American National
Standard Institute, Specifications and Guidelines
for Quality Assistance for Environmental Data
Collection and Environmental Technology
Programs (ANSI/ASQC E4). The Site Quality
Management Plan will document the EPA SITE
Program quality system and will encompass the
management and technical activities necessary to
plan, implement, and assess the quality
assurance and quality control operations applied
to all SITE Projects. The Quality management
plan will document the requirement for Quality
Assurance Project Plans for all SITE Evaluation
Projects. SITE Quality Assurance Project Plans
are currently developed at a level that supports
the development of environmental regulations
and standards (Category II). It is important that
the SITE Program quality requirements are met
during planning, implementation and reporting of
SITE demonstrations, and evaluations.
Program Implementation
The SITE Program was established under
section 209(b) of the Superfund Amendments
and Reauthorization Act (SARA) (Section
311(b) of CERCLA, as amended) to evaluate
technologies for the treatment of hazardous
waste. Support for the SITE program is part of
the Agency's base Superfund Research
Program budget. Resources to support SITE
are provided by Congress via the Agency's
Superfund appropriation. Figure 1 shows the
SITE Program annual budget since 1997.
The SITE Program is a partnership
between the public and private sectors,
where the costs and responsibilities are
shared by EPA, hazardous waste site owners,
and technology developers. EPA enters into
cooperative arrangements with site owners
and technology developers, under which
innovative technologies are demonstrated at
selected hazardous waste sites. EPA
evaluates the new technologies based on the
demonstration results, and compiles and
publishes rigorous engineering, performance,
and cost data intended to aid in decisions
regarding the use of the technologies at other
hazardous waste sites. The program
generates credible and unbiased technology
cost and performance data needed by
remedial project managers., consultants, and
other environmental decision makers. EPA
promotes easy and rapid access to this
information, allowing project managers to
make timely decisions in selecting cleanup
remedies.
Matching Priority Sites with Innovative
Cleanup Solutions
The SITE Program solicits and
prioritizes hazardous waste sites, and then
seeks appropriate technologies for
demonstration at these sites. Priority sites
are selected based on feedback from the user
community, including federal and state
agencies. Matching a site with a technology
is a flexible process, and a site owner has the
option of evaluating multiple technologies.
If no specific technology or vendor is
identified by a site, technologies and vendors
are matched by the SITE Program and other
interested parties, which may include state
and federal regulators and other public
representatives.

The selection of sites for the program is
based on the research needs of EPA, as
well as federal and state agencies.
An important aspect of technology
selection is that more than one technology
may be introduced for review and
demonstration. This aspect allows for
matching the most appropriate and feasible
technology to a particular site. General
technology needs of the user community are
identified by soliciting input from working
groups, forums, personal communication,
and hazardous waste publications. With this
continuous input, the SITE Program will
continue to focus on the needs of the
remediation community and the more
pressing problems at contaminated sites.
Technology Field Demonstrations
SITE Program technology
demonstrations are increasingly conducted in
partnership with other EPA offices, other
federal agencies, states, private industry, and
universities. These partnerships reduce the
overall costs of demonstrations to EPA,
accelerate remediation of some of the most
problematic sites at federal and state
facilities, and significantly subsidize the
technology vendors via site/logistical costs.
One example of interagency partnerships is
with DOD, Navy at Pearl Harbor. This
group is currently working on a
demonstration evaluating technologies to
remediate DNAPL at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Innovative remediation and
monitoring/measurement technology
demonstration projects are presented by
developer state and by demonstration site
state in Appendices A and B, respectively.
Information Dissemination
Electronic documents are accessible
through the Internet at the SITE Program
web page (http://www.epa.gov/ORD/SlTE),

FY 02 SITE Program Cost Savings and Vendor Benefits
Promotion of Innovative Technologies
SITE is recognized by EPA as one of
its principal programs to advance innovative
site monitoring, characterization, and cleanup
technologies with the potential to treat
hazardous wastes more efficiently, less
expensively, and more safely than existing
methods. S ITE's mission i s to promote the
development and application of innovative
technologies that reduce or eliminate risks to
human health and the environment due to
contamination. The goal of the program is to
interact with the technology user community,
understand its needs, integrate those needs
with EPA's research mission, and
expeditiously address those needs.
Identifying and responding to the technology
needs o f the remediation c ommunity i s the
driving force behind today's SITE Program.
Responding to technology needs is the
driving force behind the SITE Program.
The need for credible and reliable data
for innovative technologies is significant.
Often, Records of Decision (RODs—official
records documenting selection of Superfund
site cleanup methods) indicate that innovative
technologies were not chosen due to a lack of
verified performance and implementability.
The SITE Program serves to fill this need for
credible e valuations sot hat m ore effective,
cost-efficient methods can be used on
remediation problems.
The types and numbers of innovative
technologies selected for remediation at
Superfund sites increased significantly after the
passage of the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA). Since then, the
number has continued to rise, indicating increased
credibility and confidence in a number of
innovative treatment technologies.
During the first 12 years of the SITE
Program, an emphasis was placed on innovative
technologies for permanent treatment that usually
required the removal (ex situ) of soil or
groundwater. Most field demonstrations during
this period in the program's history involved ex
situ physical/chemical and thermal technologies
that could be field tested in a matter of days or
weeks. In the last several years, the very nature of
ex situ technologies, which typically involve the
excavation of contaminated soil or removal b y
pumping of groundwater, and subsequent
treatment and/or transport/disposal have become
increasingly limited in their applicability. These
cost/technical/political related limitations include:
• Complex contamination and subsurface
matrices which are not amenable to removal
• Mega sites whose shear expanse and volume
of contaminated media preclude ex situ
technologies from consideration
Lack of approved landfills in close proximity
for excavation/transportation/disposal to be
cost-effective
As a result, in situ technologies are
increasingly the only alternative. The need for
innovative, in situ technologies that are more cost-
effective, result in less secondary waste, and are
less intrusive will continue to increase. The SITE
Program has recognized this need and has
-------
emphasized the development of in situ
technologies.
SITE Program Accomplishments - Federal Cost
Savings from RODs Analysis
Figure 2 presents the number of in situ
technologies as a percentage of all treatment
technologies for source control by fiscal year.
Over time, use of in situ technologies has
been increasing, as the trendline in Figure 1
shows. A five-year moving average of the
percentage of in situ treatment technologies
shows a generally steady increase from 28
percent (FY1985-1988) to 50 percent
(FY1999-2002). Several factors may play a
role in this upward trend in the use of in situ
treatment technologies. Because in situ
technologies require no excavation, risk from
exposure to contaminated media is reduced,
compared with levels of risk associated with
technologies that do require excavation. Also,
in situ technologies typically are much less
harsh on the natural habitat/environment than
ex situ technologies. Further, for large sites
where excavation and materials handling for
ex situ technologies can be expensive, in situ
technologies are often more cost-effective.
Cumulative Program Cost Savings,
Incremental Program Cost Savings, and
Vendor Contracting
Since its establishment in 1986, the
SITE Program has assisted in the development
and use of innovative technologies, resulting
in substantial cost savings for cleaning up
contaminated sites. The cost savings realized
at Superfund sites has been estimated by
analysis of RODs from 1993 - 2000; this
estimating technique and analytical results are
described below. The SITE
Program has also assisted vendors in
advancing innovative technologies from the
development phase to full-scale application,
and has promoted greater acceptance of these
technologies. The following subsections
provide examples of the financial success of
the SITE Program in terms of cumulative and
incremental federal cost savings and vendor
successes.
Since 1993, the use of innovative
technologies has substantially increased, resulting
in dramatic cost savings. During 1996, 1999,
2000, 2001, and 2002, the SITE Program
collected information from signed RODs in all 10
EPA Regions that selected an innovative
technology as the remedy. Up until 2001, these
technologies included soil vapor extraction,
thermal desorption, bioremediation,
phytoremediation, surfactant flooding, and many
other technologies that have passed through the
Program. The data compiled by the SITE
Program allowed environmental managers to
compare innovative technologies to conventional
technologies, particularly the data from the total
of 204 RODs that selected innovative
technologies for part or all of the remediation.
Many of the innovative technologies
which performed successfully in their SITE
Program demonstration(s) also enjoyed success in
their full-scale applications at Superfund and
other contaminated sites throughout the U.S. and
abroad. The use of soil vapor extraction (SVE),
for example, which is often employed in tandem
with air sparging to remediate the unsaturated
zone of contaminated soil, has increased steadily
from the late 1980's, particularly after multiple
successful SITE Program demonstrations.
The process for selecting innovative
technologies for demonstration in the SITE
Program and for deciding when these innovative
technologies have become conventional
technologies consists of the following:
• Consultation and review with:
-EPA Regions
—EPA Program Offices
—State Regulatory Agencies
[including the Interstate Technology and
Regulatory Council (ITRC)]
• Volume of use ($ and total units) as it
relates to consulting firms utilizing these
technologies

traditional technologies (e.g., in situ

desorption)
• Assessment of the adequacy of the cost
information in the identified RODs for
both the innovative technology selected
and the traditional technology(ies)
considered but rejected
• Calculating the estimated cost difference
(+ or -) between the innovative and
traditional alternative technology(ies)
• Annualizing resulting estimated cost
savings to present day value
• Subtracting out cost of SITE Program
(does not include cost to site owners or
vendors)
Potential cost savings from the use of
innovative technologies for the 105 RODs
was estimated at $2.7 billion in 2002 dollars,
with a potential average percent savings per
site of 71 percent. Only 14 of the 105 RODs
reported that the innovative technology was
more expensive than or equal to the
established technology.
To estimate SITE Program net
benefits, the FY 93-00 RODs and the SITE
Program budget were adjusted for inflation to
end of 2002 dollars using Consumer Price
Index (CPI) inflation figures. The total
inflation-adjusted potential c ost s avings for
RODs dated 1993-2000 was $2.7 billion, and
the total inflated SITE Program budget from
1986-2000 was $181 million. This
comparison represents an estimated inflated
potential cost savings of over $2.5 billion for
various site cleanups.
Figure 3 shows a breakdown of
savings by technology type. Soil vapor
extraction (SVE), which was not considered
an innovative technology by the SITE
Program for the first time in 2002, showed the
highest potential savings of over $1.25 billion,
followed by $585 million for bioremediation.
SVE was one of the initial technologies
accepted into the SITE Program (in the late
1980s), and large savings would therefore be
expected from this technology. Solvent
extraction, thermal desorption, and
vitrification each accounted for over $100
million in potential savings. Phytoremediation
and permeable reactive barriers are newer
technologies that are beginning to be chosen
in RODs, with six and four sites having
specified their use, respectively, with an
associated potential cost savings of $79
million as compared to conventional
technologies. The number of sites and
associated potential costs savings for
phytoremediation and treatment barrier sites
are expected to increase rapidly in coming
years.
Incremental Cost Savings
To assess the current impact of the
SITE program, EPA is developing a method
to estimate incremental cost savings. The
method will be applied on a bi-annual basis
for even years (2000, 2002, 2004, etc.) to
coincide with the availability of RODs data.
Using a preliminary approach, RODs data
from FY2000 were evaluated. Twelve ROD
sites selected innovative remedial
technologies including enhanced
flushing/chemical oxidation,
phytoremediation, and LNAPL recovery by
dual-phase extraction.
Excluded from consideration were the
innovative technologies discussed earlier in
this section which are now considered
conventional (air sparging, SVE, etc.). Seven
of these sites had sufficient cost data for both
innovative and conventional technologies to
make cost comparisons. Potential cost
savings from the use of innovative
technologies for these seven RODs (Figure 3)
were estimated at $95 million (inflated to
2000 dollars) with a potential average per site
savings of 47.5%. Only one of the 7 RODs
reported that the innovative technology was
more expensive than or equal to the
established technology. The SITE Program
budget for FY2000 was $6.2 million,

Historical Vendor Benefits
Technology vendors are a central part
of the SITE Program, providing remediation
services for sites requiring cleanup solutions.
As part of the SITE Program, vendors provide
historical information on jobs they have
performed for the technologies they have
demonstrated. Vendors experience various
benefits by participating in the SITE Program,
namely increased exposure, market share,
technical acceptance, and recognition.
Increased acceptance of innovative
technologies is demonstrated by the level of
commercial activity experienced by SITE
Program vendors. For example, cumulative
information reported in 2002 indicates that
since completing SITE demonstration
projects, vendors have received contracts for
2,119 cleanups and 1,388 treatability studies
(Figure 4).
As part of an ongoing SITE Program
evaluation initiated in 1989, 87 vendors have
provided information regarding sales of their
technologies. Following participation in the
SITE Program, 63 percent of the responding
vendors were awarded remediation contracts
using technologies demonstrated in the SITE
Program. Thirty-four percent of the reporting
vendors have been awarded ten or more
contracts each. Over 35 percent reported one
or more international contracts, identifying 40
countries where jobs were contracted. Figure
5 provides a historical perspective of growth
in the number of contracts awarded to SITE
vendors from 1990 to 2002.
The 2002 Demonstration Program
vendor information has been broken down by
technology type to ascertain which
technologies demonstrated the greatest
commercial success. Figure 6 shows the
share by technology type of the 3,507
remediation and treatability contracts awarded
to vendors. It is clear from this chart that soil
vapor extraction and bioremediation
technologies have had the most commercial
success; in particular, soil vapor extraction can
no longer be considered an innovative
technology, as discussed earlier in this section.
This trend from the vendor information
is consistent with the RODs analysis results
which were shown in Figure 2, providing two
sources of data to confirm the outstanding
commercial success of the technologies.
In addition to the 87 Demonstration
"Our involvement with the SITE Program has
been very successful. We appreciate
everyone's efforts and the program's agenda."

(Chemical Fixation/Solidification
Technologies)
Program vendors, information was obtained
from 1999-2002 from 18 vendors that
participated in the MMT Program. This
information clearly demonstrated the benefits
that vendors receive from the program,
indicating that 73 percent of the vendors sold
more than 25 units since their demonstration
in the SITE Program. Over 60 percent of the
vendors indicated that their technologies were
used on international remediation projects. In
total, the MMT vendors reported selling over
4,200 units on 1,043 jobs, including 56
international jobs.
Overall, vendor information shows that
SITE technology developers in the
Demonstration and MMT Programs are
achieving commercial success for
demonstrated technologies. The impact of the
SITE Program continues to be significant, as
illustrated by the volume of vendor contracts
over the last decade (Figure 5).

Innovative Technology Highlights - - SITE
Program Case Studies
This section presents case studies of
innovative remediation technologies for
vendors that have participated in the SITE
Program. The case studies provide brief
descriptions on the use and status of
representative technologies and, where
available, general information on the cost of
applying each technology. It is typical of the
SITE Program and represents the SITE
Program's approach to promoting innovative
technologies by identifying user needs. In
response to user needs, the SITE Program
assessed the performance of a glass furnace
technology for dredged sediments, a hydrogen
release technology for organic contaminants,
and steam enhanced remediation.
"The U.S. Navy has been using the in-
field total hydrocarbon petroleum
analyzer of one of the vendors who
participated in SITE'S Measurement
and Monitoring Program. We were
first contracted in 2002 solely because
of our participation and performance in
the SITE Program. The DOD is now
one of our biggest customers., .and as a
result, we have piggy backed sales to
contractors and/or foreign governments
(particularly in the Persian Gulf)."
Steve Greason, Sitelab Corporation
Case Study 1: Glass Furnace Technology for
Dredged Sediments
The Glass Furnace Technology (GFT)
was developed by the Minergy Corporation as
a means to beneficially reuse contaminated
sediment through vitrification. The target
waste for the technology is sediments that
have PCB and metals contamination. The
GFT was designed specifically for melting
materials that have no fuel value. Silica is one
of the primary constituents of sediments,
making it a perfectly suited material for
processing. The Glass Furnace Technology is
an adaptation of systems that have been used
for decades in glass manufacturing. Because
a glass furnace has temperatures high enough
to melt materials into glass, corollary benefits
include destruction of organic contaminants
such as PCBs and permanent stabilization of
trace metals in the resultant glass product.
The glass aggregate is an inert product that is
sold to construction companies.
Technology Description
A glass furnace is a refractory-lined,
rectangular melter. Refractory is brick or
concrete, which has been specifically treated
to resist chemical and physical abrasion, has
a high melting point, and provides a high
degree of insulating value to the process.
Current glass furnaces use oxy-fuel burners,
combining natural gas and oxygen for a bright
flame above the glass. These burners raise the
internal temperature of the melter to 2,900
degrees Fahrenheit. At these temperatures,
PCB contaminants are destroyed, and the
sediment melts and flows out of the
processing system as molten glass. The
molten glass is water quenched to produce an
inert aggregate that is marketed to
construction companies.
Status
In 2001, the Glass Furnace
Technology was demonstrated in Minergy's
pilot glass furnace located in Winneconne,
Wisconsin. The pilot demonstration was
performed using contaminated sediment
dredged from the lower Fox River, Wisconsin.
During the demonstration, the glass furnace
processed a total of 25,800 pounds of dried
sediment and produced approximately 16,200
pounds of glass aggregate product. PCB and
mercury concentrations of sediment fed into
the system during the evaluation averaged
28.1 ppm and 0.72 ppm, respectively. PCB
13
-------
and mercury concentrations in the glass
aggregate product were below laboratory
method detection limits.
Case Study 2: Time Release Electron
Acceptors and Donors for Accelerated
Natural Attenuation
The U.S. EPA and Regenesis
Bioremediation Products, Inc. demonstrated
the Hydrogen Release Compound (HRC)
technology at the Fisherville Mill site and
Rocky Mountain Arsenal site. The HRC
technology was designed to enhance natural
degradation of organic contaminants in
groundwater aquifers.
Technology Description
The specific products involved in the
process include: 1) Oxygen Release
Compound (ORC®), which provides the
electron acceptor oxygen to enhance the
aerobic bioremediation of compounds such as
petroleum hydrocarbons and 2) Hydrogen
Release Compound (HRC®), which provides
the electron donor hydrogen to enhance the
anaerobic bioremediation of compounds such
as chlorinated solvents. The ORC® is a
proprietary formulation of magnesium
peroxide that only releases oxygen when
hydrated and can provide a continuous source
of oxygen (electron receptor) for up to 12
months. The HRC® is a polyactate ester and
also requires hydration before it releases lactic
acid, a fermentable substrate, which generates
hydrogen (electron donor) for up to 18
months. The treatment is typically in situ and
both products are applied to the subsurface via
direct-push injection or borehole delivery
methods.
The bioremediation component of
natural attenuation describes a process by
which contaminants are reduced in
concentration over time by biological action.
The process is facilitated by microbes that can
be aerobic or anaerobic, requiring either
oxygen or hydrogen, respectively, to help
carry out the degradation of target
contaminants. At most sites the subsurface is
lacking these key substrates, or they are
present in insufficient amounts, which
prevents the natural microbial population
from facilitating bioremediation. The use of
time-released s ubstrates s uch a s O RC® a nd
HRC® typically accelerates natural attenuation
of 10 to 100 times faster than unassisted
natural attenuation.
Status
Regenesis demonstrated the
technology at two sites in 2000-2001: Rocky
Mountain Arsenal and Fisherville Mill. The
Rocky Mountain Arsenal demonstration
located in Denver, Colorado was designed to
treat a plume contaminated with organic
compounds. Based on a 60-day bench-scale
study in March 2000, the HRC® was shown to
be very effective in dramatically reducing the
entire range of contaminants. Following the
bench-scale success, a demonstration was
conducted at the site from February 2001 to
May 2002. Time plots of chlorinated organic
concentrations during the demonstration also
provided evidence for reductive
dechlorinatoin. The results of the Fisherville
Mill demonstration are currently being
evaluated.
Case Study 3: Steam Enhanced Remediation
SteamTech Environmental Services,
Inc., U.S. EPA, and the Air Force Base
Conversion Agency conducted a research
project on Steam Enhanced Remediation
(SER) for the recovery of dense nonaqueous
phase liquids (DNAPL) from fractured
limestone at the former Loring Air Force Base
Quarry site. The former quarry had been used
for the disposal of more than 400 drums of
spent solvents.
14
-------
Technology Description
Steam Enhanced Remediation is a
combination of technologies previously used
separately, adapted to the hydrogeology of
typical contaminated sites. Steam is injected
at the periphery of the contaminated area to
heat permeable subsurface areas, vaporize
volatile compounds bound to the soil, and
drive contaminants to centrally located vapor
and liquid extraction wells. Electrical heating
is used for less-permeable clays and fine-
grained sediments to vaporize contaminants
and drive them into the vapor.
SER is capable of extracting,
separating and treating effluent vapors,
nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPL), and water
on site for complete contaminant destruction
or off-site disposal. SER is highly effective
for removal of both volatile and semivolatile
compounds. SER works both above and
below the groundwater table, and both
LNAPL and DNAPL contaminants can be
removed. The dominant removal mechanisms
for volatile contaminants are the increased
volatization and steam stripping when the
mixture of water and NAPL reaches the
boiling point. Another major removal
mechanism of contaminants is the fast
removal of liquid contaminants by physical
transport to centrally located extraction wells.
NAPL is removed from the extraction. In situ
destruction of contaminants by thermally
accelerated oxidation processes converts
harmful chemicals into carbon dioxide and
water.
Status
Excellent cleanup results have been
achieved in the laboratory, simulating cleanup
using steam injection and Joule heating for
gasoline, oils, creosote, and chlorinated
solvent DNAPL. The research project
conducted at the Loring Air Force Base
Quarry site suggested that SER can be
effective for increasing the mass removal rate
compared to more traditional methods such as
"On behalf of the environmental
community of the State of Maine, I want
to commend the SITE Program staff for
their contribution to the research
program at Loring AFB. Environmental
experts and scientists from all over the
country closely monitored your progress.
This project is an important step for the
remediation of bedrock contamination
throughout the country."

FY 02 Progress and Accomplishments
Over the past 17 years, SITE has earned
increased recognition as a leader in advancing
innovative technology development and
commercialization and has participated
cooperatively with more than 149 technology
developers. Through FY 02, the SITE Program
has successfully demonstrated 143 technologies,
6 of which were demonstrated during FY 02.
These demonstrations have provided a
tremendous amount of information on the
performance, costs, and applicability of
innovative cleanup technologies, which greatly
assists managers of environmental remediation
projects in developing appropriate and effective
cleanup solutions. SITE has been responsive to
the user community during this time, and has
recently focused on the need for in situ
remediation technologies to more cost-
effectively remediate sites. As shown in Figure
6,77 completed SITE projects have been ex situ
and 66 in situ, with a marked increase in
ongoing in situ technology demonstrations as
compared with ex situ since 1997. Eight of the
eleven ongoing demonstrations are in situ.
Field demonstration and evaluation of in
situ technologies may require several months or
years of data collection. This is in contrast to
field demonstrations of ex situ technologies
where field work can be completed in 1 to 3
weeks; thus, in situ techniques have higher
budget requirements. Based on the SITE
Program's increased emphasis on in situ
technologies, the number of ongoing
demonstrations will likely increase, with fewer
moving from ongoing to completed status each
year than in the past.
During FY 02, 6 new innovative
technologies were evaluated in the field.
Completed demonstration projects are
presented in Table 1, and ongoing projects are
provided in Table 2. All completed and
ongoing projects are listed in Appendices A
and B. Figure 7 presents a history of ex situ
versus in situ distribution for SITE
demonstration projects.

Program are used solely for those technologies
addressing hazardous waste. This partnership
will help to address the demands on the MMT
Program and reduce the backlog of applications
submitted by developers of innovative
technologies.
To further advance the MMT Program,
a stakeholder group was formed to assist in
outreach activities and in the selection of
technologies. An advocates program involving
the EPA Regional offices was also established
to assist in the MMT demonstration process and
to ensure that the products of the
demonstrations address issues relevant to EPA.
Ongoing Demonstrations
The MMT Program has two ongoing
demonstrations. Approximately five vendors
are participating in a mercury in soils and
sediments demonstration at the Oak Ridge
National Laboratory. In addition, a dioxin
detection technology demonstration is also
ongoing.

Treatment Technology
This project involves evaluation of an innovative acid mine
drainage (AMD) treatment technology. Lime lagoons are used to
provide reaction time and sludge settling while pH of the AMD is
increased to around 8.5.
This project involves the phytoremediation of radionuclides and
solvents. Specifically, trees were utilized to degrade organic
contaminants or to draw tritium out of the groundwater flow.
The purpose of the demonstration is to develop and refine a
protocol for beneficial reuse of dredged sediment. The process
consists of characterization of the site to determine the
contaminant concentration spatially and at depth, identifying
possible end users of dredged materials, and working with the
material until it achieves the appropriate quality for the intended
use.

Future Direction
Introduction
The science of site investigation has
advanced dramatically in the past 20 years.
Advancements in field detection equipment and
laboratory analyses have revealed new
information about the problems at waste sites.
In addition, years of experience in the
cleanup of hazardous waste sites have shown that
quick, inexpensive solutions are usually elusive.
As a remediation proceeds, the task of site
cleanup is often found to be much greater and
much more complex than was originally expected.
Thus the improvements in site investigation and
the lessons learned from both successful and
unsuccessful site remediation have demonstrated
a great demand for effective innovative
technologies.
A number of promising technologies based
on sound scientific principles, but lacking
engineering and performance documentation, are
appearing on the horizon. Some of these,
described below, are being studied under the
SITE Program, and by the U.S. Department of
Energy, U.S. Department of Defense, and others.
It is likely that field demonstrations may occur
within the next few years for these technologies or
for second-generation improvements of these
techniques.
The SITE Program continues to emphasize
the importance of first selecting a site and,
secondly, evaluating one or more appropriate
innovative technologies. The selection of these
sites and technologies is important in meeting the
needs of those responsible for selecting and
Site Program Partners
• DOD Environmental Security and Technology
Certification Program (ESTCP)
• DOE Office of Science and Technology
• EPA Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response
• EPA Regional Offices
• Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council
(ITRC)
implementing hazardous waste cleanup. Over
the past several years the SITE program has
been focusing on in situ techniques. A wide
range of representation from relevant federal
and state agencies helps ensure that the most
pressing issues are prioritized and addressed.
In response to Agency priorities and
stakeholder input, the MMT program is
working to verify the performance of
innovative field technologies which can be
used to measure mercury and dioxin in soil and
sediment. The mercury verification study
includes five developers who are using a
variety of scientific techniques to measure
mercury under field locations. The dioxin field
study consists of five technologies using a
variation of an immunoassay technique. The
technologies offer the promise of ultra low
detection levels and a cost significantly below
that of conventional high-resolution GC/MS.
The next phase of the program will
include an updated demonstration of X-Ray
Fluorescence (XRF) technologies. The XRF
industry has changed significantly since the
first demonstration of this technology was
conducted nearly 7 years ago. This will be the
first demonstration of this type and represents
21
-------
an evolution of the program. Other planned
verification studies included the measurement of
phenol and its halogenated analogs as well as the
detection of certain pesticides which are no longer
in use but represent a significant health hazard.
Technology Areas of Primary Interest
One of the critical needs for remediation
technology is for methods to accelerate aquifer
cleanup. Groundwater contamination may consist
of dissolved-phase contaminant plumes, light non-
aqueous phase liquids (LNAPLS), and dense non-
aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLS), all of which
can potentially move in different directions. As
the complexity of the geological formation
increases so does the need for innovative
technologies to treat or detect non-aqueous phase
contamination in groundwater. New technologies
are needed to control and remediate this
widespread problem.
In addition to groundwater contamination,
The SITE Program continues to place priority on
evaluating technologies for treatment of metals
and/or recalcitrant organic compounds in soil. In
situ technologies for either soil or groundwater
continue to remain a priority for the SITE
Program.
Because of technical difficulties related to
sediment remediation, this is another area where
the remediation community would benefit from
new processes, approaches or less-expensive
methods for treatment. In situ treatment,
sampling and containment are technology areas of
interest that will be addressed in the future.
More recently there have been significant
technology breakthroughs in chemical conversion
methodologies. Technologies that rely on
chemical conversion of the contaminant species
rather than destruction or stabilization will end the
remediation process at treatment. Metal enhanced
dechlorination or treatment barriers fall into this
category. This technology is a groundwater
treatment technique that degrades chlorinated
volatile organics (VOCs) using an
electrochemical process that oxidizes granular
iron while reducing and dechlorinating VOCs.
Two methods of in situ metal enhanced
dechlorination have been developed: in situ
permeable treatment trenches (including funnel
and gate configurations) and reactor vessels
containing granular iron and located in the
subsurface. In the future, material
effectiveness on VOCs and other groundwater
contaminants may be evaluated.
The SITE Program emphasizes the need
for technologies capable of in situ remediation
of dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs)
in difficult geological formations. This
continues to be a theme through the
remediation community as a whole. The
program continues to evaluate in situ thermal
and chemical oxidation type technologies
under a broad array of geological conditions. In
addition, effective remediation technologies for
metals in soils, treatment of recalcitrant
compounds, and the general need for in situ
treatment remain high on the priority list.
The SITE Program will also continue to
emphasize the need for technologies that focus
more on types of contaminated sites rather than
single contaminants (i.e., wood preserving
sites, manufactured gas plant sites). Most sites
are not contaminated with a single
contaminant, but with mixtures including by-
products formed from normal degradation.
Recent applications have lead the SITE
Program to move in this direction. Based on
input from the multi-agency review board, a
list of new priority areas are:
• Sediments
• Mining Issues\Acid Mine Drainage
• Manufactured Gas Plants
• Wood TreatingYPreserving
• Pesticide ManufacturersYFormulators
Table 3 outlines the contaminant areas of
interest, and Table 4 describes the
demonstrations that are planned for FY02.

MMT Program Areas of Interest
The Monitoring and Measurement
Technologies Program will continue to test and
evaluate in situ and ex situ field analytical
technologies, sampling techniques, and methods
for the determination of the chemical and
physical properties of hazardous waste sites. The
schedule of field demonstrations have kept pace
with the emergence of new technologies. Input
from clients and developers shows an ongoing
need to explore new applications which support
the goals of the SITE Program. In particular, there
remain many monitoring and measurement
technology needs including the detection and
measurement of organic compounds in the
subsurface (particularly LNAPLs and DNAPLs).
Technologies are emerging that show
promise for DNAPL detection, but they may not
be ready for testing until 2003 or 2004. There is a
demand for non-invasive technologies that can be
used to detect the presence of contaminants in the
subsurface as well as to image the hydrogeologic
properties of sites. The detection and
measurement of mercury in soil has also been
identified as a technology area of considerable
interest. The MMTP will be testing as many as
nine technologies which address this need during
FY02. The measurement of dioxin has typically
required that samples be analyzed in fixed
laboratories using prescribed, labor-intensive
analytical methods. During FY02, a survey was
conducted to identify a number of emerging
technologies that may be used to detect and
possibly quantify the concentration of dioxin in
soil. Some of these technologies will be
considered for a field demonstration in FY03.
The use of biological test kits which can
determine the toxicity of environmental media
will also be considered for demonstration.
Biosensor and microelectronic devices represent
areas of intense research interest. The first
candidates from this class of technologies will be
ready for testing in FY04.
24
Since the program has matured, a
number of developers in the area of X-ray
fluorescence and gas chromatography /mass
spectrometry have made significant
improvements in their technology and will be
candidates for abbreviated demonstrations
which will evaluate the improvements. These
demonstrations will be conducted in FY 03
and FY04.
Partnerships for Success
Federal to Federal Interface
The SITE Program will continue to
recognize the importance of cooperation
between federal agencies to find common
areas of need and interest. Interfacing with
other federal agencies is an important aspect
of enhancing the benefits of technology
demonstrations. It allows for leveraging
resources, expedited performance and cost
information exchange and cross fertilization
of technical expertise between agencies. In
addition, this type of collaboration encourages
the implementation of innovative approaches
by federal end users in a more expedited
manner and, in many cases, implementation at
other non-federal site locations.
One example of shared interest is in
DNAPL contamination in the subsurface. It
is an environmental problem shared by many
of the member agencies of the Federal
Remediation Technologies Roundtable
(FRTR). These agencies have a mutual
interest in finding cost-effective solutions to
the characterization, treatment and monitoring
of their DNAPL sites.
In 1997, NASA, DOE, EPA and DoD
joined forces in forming the Interagency
DNAPL Consortium (IDC) in order to
evaluate a variety of DNAPL treatment
technologies at a site on Cape Canaveral,
Florida. These agencies, under the auspices
of the FRTR, believe that they should expand
on the concept of the IDC by formation of the
Federal DNAPL Technologies Initiative
-------
Program (FeDTIP). Our vision is for FeDTIP to
be a cooperative program with objectives broadly
focused on finding cost-effective technologies for
treating DNAPL contamination across a spectrum
of site conditions.
The primary objectives of the FeDTIP are to:
• Develop linkages among the many federal
DNAPL science and technology activities
currently ongoing; the goal is to be
complementary rather than duplicative of these
activities.
• Sponsor and participate in technology
demonstrations and deployments at federal
DNAPL sites representing a variety of site
conditions to gain cost and performance data.
• Identify the key science and technology issues
resulting from demonstrations and
deployments that must be resolved in order to
reduce costs and improve performance of
DNAPL site cleanup.
• Develop or participate in development of
technical practices and design guidance
manuals for key technologies that will become
the standard for application at DNAPL
contaminated sites.
• Develop an effective technology transfer
process for the benefit of the broader DNAPL
remediation and regulatory community.
To date, three technologies have been
demonstrated at Cape Canaveral Air Station
Launch Complex 34. New project selections and
starts are scheduled for FY 03.
Federal to State Interface
Where there are common environmental
areas of interest, it is equally important to have
federal to state interactions as it is to have federal
to federal cooperation. Cooperation with
organizations such as the Environmental Council
of States (ECOS) and Interstate Technology
Regulatory Council (ITRC) promotes
partnerships and builds confidence within the
25
environmental community that proven
innovative technology can provide more-
effective and less-expensive environmental
protection.
The ITRC provides a mechanism to
interact with multiple state regulatory
agencies and state specific verification
programs. The ITRC is a state-led national
coalition dedicated to achieving better
environmental protection through the use of
innovative technologies.
"The SITE Program has been tremendously valuable to
the State of Maine's environmental program. The
success of the work done by the SITE Program will
enable us to resolve various environmental issues
throughout the State of Maine."
Naji Akladiss, P.E.,Project Manager
Maine Dept. of Environmental Protection
The ITRC currently has several
workgroups that crosscut the SITE Program's
environmental priority areas of interest. The
various groups are as follows: 1) Passive
Barrier Workgroup, 2) DNAPL Workgroup,
3) Phytoremediation Workgroup, and 4)
Sediment Workgroup. These groups are and
will continue to be invited to participate in
SITE Program demonstration projects.
Groups choose to participate at a level
required by the objectives of the workgroup.
Involvement of the workgroups allows for
better planning and exchange of technical
requirements early in the planning of SITE
projects. For instance, ITRC's DNAPL
workgroup is focused on developing
innovative techniques to remedy the DNAPL
challenge. The workgroup consists of
members from states, federal partners such as
DOE and EPA, and industry members.
Direct interaction with multiple state
agencies provides many benefits. State
regulatory agencies are also faced with the
difficult problems associated with hazardous
waste clean-up, and the variation of
regulations between states. Interaction among
multiple states on SITE projects can result in
-------
multiple technical issues being addressed in one
field demonstration. This reduces duplication of
field demonstrations to answer one or more state
specific regulatory questions.
An example of the federal-to-state
interface is demonstrated at the Loring Air Force
Base SITE Demonstration. On September 10 and
11, a 2-day technical seminar was held at Loring
AFB to present all the details about the Quarry
site characterization and monitoring, steam
remediation process, and site tour. The following
day, September 12, dignitaries from the state,
federal EPA, DOD, Loring Development
Authority, and Senator Collins office attended a
visitors day designed to showcase the SteamTech
SITE Demonstration. Brief presentations were
made on site history, test design, and technology
followed by a field visit to the demonstration
location. The Loring AFB, Site Demonstration is
the first field DNAPL recovery research project of
this scale in fractured rock. Results from this
demonstration will have significant impact in the
scientific community.
Information Transfer
Information transfer is accomplished
through a number of mechanisms. While the
internet information distribution is an effective
mechanism, published documentation, meetings,
and conferences remain an essential part of
technical information dissemination.
Coordination with existing remediation
workgroups and programs is also essential. The
SITE Program continues to work cooperatively
with numerous programs, such as DOD's ESTCP
Program, the Environmental Council of States
(ECOS) sponsored ITRC, and the DOE's Science
and Technology Program.
ITRC Team meetings and special site
tours have been conducted near SITE Program
field demonstrations in order to capitalize on
multiple State participation.
The program will continue pursuing
and supporting the development of document
summaries in areas where data exists on a
variety of technologies or applications. The
information is useful in providing the user
community with comparative technical
information and costs within an area.
Documentation will continue for some time
since many of the technologies are in situ and
highly complex. In situ technology
evaluations are tested over varying lengths of
time, with a minimum time period of 3-6
months. Most are evaluated for one year. In
the case of biological treatment or in situ
capping techniques demonstrations may span
2-3 years. The summaries will need updating
as the technologies mature and information
becomes available.
Conclusions
The SITE program is a key element in
EPA's efforts to increase the availability and
use of innovative technologies for remediation
of the nation's hazardous waste sites. The
SITE Program technology evaluations are
used by the remediation community to choose
cleanup technology options, and that data is
credible because of the rigorous quality
assurance and careful planning of the
demonstrations. Some technologies once
considered innovative have been accepted as
standard in part because of this program.
Superfund site managers, who in 1986 had the
choice of incineration or landfill, can now find
many other tools in the "remediation toolbox."
SITE continues to look to the future for
innovative solutions to solve the cleanup
challenges of the past.

EPA Sources of Information on
Innovative Remediation and Site Characterization Technologies
Listed below are U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sources of information on Innovative Remediation
and Site Characterization Technologies. Sources of information include: electronic information sources in the form of
databases or Internet sites, as well as programs, partnerships and organizations accessible on the Internet.
REMEDIATION TECHNOLOGIES
Electronic Information Sources
Innovative Remediation Technoliges: Field-Scale
Demonstration Projects in North America, Second
Edition and Database. The searchable database contains
information about 600 completed innovative technology
field demonstration projects in North America. The
purpose of the database is to consolidate key information
from innovative demonstration projects into a single source
and present that information in a format that enables the
user to easily identify innovative technologies that may be
appropriate to the user's particular site remediation needs.
The database, which is limited to completed demonstration
projects and a small number of full-scale cleanup efforts,
does not include emerging technologies or laboratory-scale
projects. A summary report, EPA 542-BOO/004 of the
same name is available from EPA's National Service
Center for Environmental Publications or accessed free of
charge from the CLU-IN Internet site at .
Hazardous Waste Clean-Up Information (CLU-IN)
Home Page. CLU-IN is a streamlined source of
information about innovative remediation and site
characterization technologies for hazardous waste cleanup
professionals. It provides access to information about
programs, organizations, publications, and other tools for
EPA and other Federal and State personnel, consulting
engineers, technology developers and venders, remediation
contractors, researchers, community groups, and individual
citizens. Access to various pools of information is
presented in the form of downloadable publications and
databases. Sources of additional information on the
Internet also are presented through a series of links. CLU-
IN is sponsored by EPA's Technology Innovation Office
(TIO). For additional information about the CLU-IN home
page, call (301) 589-5318. CLU-IN can be accessed
through the Internet at .
Innovative Treatment Technologies: Annual Status
Report (ASR) Eleventh Edition EPA/542/R-03/009 and
ASR Search System. This report contains information
about remedies selected at contaminated waste sites. The
sites include Superfund remedial and removal sites and
some non-Superfund sites being remediated by the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S. Department of
Defense (DoD), or under the RCRA corrective action
program. The ASR online site cleanup information system
includes Superfund site-specific data such as remedy
selected, contaminants and media treated, project status, and
site contact. The online database is available at

Appendix D
GLOSSARY OF REMEDIATION TECHNOLOGIES
D-l
-------
This Appendix presents definitions and brief discussions of the innovative remediation
technologies mentioned in the text of this Annual SITE Report. Established/conventional
technologies (including pump and treat, stabilization, vitrification, incineration, and
excavation/disposal) are being replaced by these state-of-the-art, typically more cost-effective
technologies are also presented.
Innovative Remediation Technologies
BIOREMEDIATION uses microorganisms to degrade organic contaminants in either
excavated or in situ soil, sludge, and solids. The microorganisms break down contaminants by
using them as a food source or cometabolizing them with a food source. Land farming, biopiles,
composting, and slurry-phase bioremediation are examples of ex situ applications. Bioventing is
a common form of in situ bioremediation which uses extraction wells to circulate air through the
ground, sometimes also pumping air into the ground.
CHEMICAL TREATMENT, also known as chemical reduction/oxidation, typically
converts hazardous contaminants to nonhazardous or less toxic compounds that are more stable,
less mobile, or inert. The oxidizing agents most commonly used for treatment of hazardous
contaminants in soil are ozone, hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorites, chlorine, chlorine dioxide,
potassium permanganate, and Fentons reagent (hydrogen peroxide and iron). Cyanide oxidation
and dechlorination are examples of chemical treatment. This method may be applied in situ or
ex situ, to soils, sludges, sediments, and other solids, and may also be applied for the in situ
treatment of groundwater.
IN SITU SOIL FLUSHING: large volumes of water, at times supplemented with
surfactants, cosolvents, or treatment compounds, are applied to the soil or injected into the
groundwater to raise the water table into the contaminated soil zone. Injected water and
treatment agents are isolated within the underlying aquifer and recovered together with flushed
contaminants.
PHYTOREMEDIATION is a process that uses plants (roots, shoots, tissues, and leaves)
to remove, transfer, stabilize, or destroy contaminants in soil, sediment, and groundwater.
Phytoremediation applies to all biological, chemical, and physical processes that are influenced
by plants and that aid in cleanup of the contaminated substances. Plants can be used in site
remediation, both through the mineralization of toxic organic compounds and through the
D-2
-------
accumulation and concentration of heavy metals and other inorganic compounds from soil into
aboveground shoots. Phytoremediation may be applied in situ or ex situ, to soils, sludges,
sediments, other solids, or groundwater.
DUAL-PHASE EXTRACTION, also known as multi-phase extraction, uses a vacuum
system to remove various combinations of contaminated groundwater, separate-phase petroleum
product, and vapors from the subsurface. The system lowers the water table around the well,
exposing more of the formation. Contaminants in the newly exposed unsaturated zone are then
accessible to soil vapor extraction. Once above ground, the extracted vapors or liquid-phase
organics and ground water are separated and treated.
SOLIDIFICATION/STABILIZATION (S/S) reduces the mobility of hazardous
substances and contaminants in the environment through both physical and chemical means.
The S/S process physically binds or encloses contaminants within a stabilized mass. S/S is
performed both ex situ and in situ. Ex situ S/S requires excavation of the material to be treated,
and the resultant material must be disposed. In situ S/S uses auger/caisson systems and injector
head systems to add binders to the contaminated soil or waste without excavation, and the
resultant material is left in place.
SOLVENT EXTRACTION uses an organic solvent as an extractant to separate organic
and metal contaminants from soil. The organic solvent is mixed with contaminated soil in an
extraction unit. The extracted solution is then passed through a separator, where the
contaminants and extractant are separated from the soil. Organically bound metals may be
extracted along with the target organic contaminants.
IN SITU THERMAL DESORPTION: wastes are heated so that organic contaminants
and water volatilize. Typically, a carrier gas or vacuum system transports the volatilized water
and organics to a gas treatment system.
THERMALLY ENHANCED RECOVERY uses heat to increase the volatilization rate of
organics and facilitate extraction. Volatilized contaminants are typically removed from the
vadose zone using soil vapor extraction. Specific types of these thermally enhanced recovery
techniques include Contained Recovery of Oily Waste (CROW™), radio frequency heating,
conductive heating, steam heating, in situ steam stripping, hot air injection, dynamic
underground stripping, in situ thermal desorption, and electrical resistance heating. Thermally
enhanced recovery is usually applied to contaminated soil, but may also be applied to
D-3
-------
groundwater.
VITRIFICATION uses an electric current to melt contaminated soil at elevated
temperatures (1,600 to 2,000°C or 2,900 to 3,650°F). Upon cooling, the vitrification product is a
chemically stable, leach-resistant, glass and crystalline material similar to obsidian or basalt
rock. The high temperature component of the process destroys or removes organic materials.
Radionuclides and heavy metals are retained within the vitrified product. Vitrification may be
conducted in situ or ex situ.
TREATMENT BARRIERS, also known as permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) or passive
treatment walls, are installed across the flow path of a contaminated groundwater plume,
allowing the water portion of the plume to flow through the wall. These barriers allow the
passage of water while prohibiting the movement of contaminants by employing agents within
the wall such as zero-valent metals, chelators, sorbents, and microbes. The contaminants are
either degraded or retained in a concentrated form by the barrier material, which may need to be
replaced periodically.
Conventional Remediation Technologies
AIR SPARGING involves the injection of air or oxygen through a contaminated aquifer.
Injected air traverses horizontally and vertically in channels through the soil column, creating an
underground stripper that removes volatile and semivolatile organic contaminants by
volatilization. Soil Vapor Extraction is usually implemented in conjunction with air sparging to
remove the generated vapor-phase contamination from the unsaturated zone. Oxygen added to
the contaminated groundwater and vadose-zone soils also can enhance biodegradation of
contaminants below and above the water table.
EX SITU THERMAL DESORPTION: wastes are heated so that organic contaminants
and water volatilize. Typically, a carrier gas or vacuum system transports the volatilized water
and organics to a gas treatment system.
SOIL VAPOR EXTRACTION (SVE) is used to remediate the zone of soil which is
unsaturated with contaminated groundwater. A vacuum is applied to the soil to control the flow
of air and remove volatile and some semivolatile organic contaminants from the soil.
For SOIL WASHING, contaminants are absorbed onto fine soil particle surfaces are
separated from bulk soil in a water-based system on the basis of particle size. The wash water
may be augmented with a basic leaching agent, surfactant, or chelating agent or by adjustment of
D-4
-------
pH to help remove organics and heavy metals. Soils and wash water are mixed ex situ in a tank
or other treatment unit. The wash water and various soil fractions are usually separated using
gravity settling.
VERTICAL ENGINEERED BARRIERS (VEBs) are subsurface barriers made of an
impermeable material designed to contain or divert groundwater. VEBs can be used to contain
contaminated groundwater, divert uncontaminated groundwater from a contaminated area, or
divert contaminated groundwater from a drinking water intake or other protected resource.
INCINERATION involves the ex situ destruction of contaminated soil, sludge, and
sediment in high temperature (1,800 - 2,200°F) combustion devices. A typical hazardous waste
incinerator, diagrammed below, consists of a rotary kiln (primary combustion chamber), an
afterburner (secondary combustion chamber), connected to an air pollution control system, all of
which are controlled and monitored.
PUMP-AND-TREAT involves removal of contaminated groundwater is from the
subsurface treatment, and discharge or reinjection, is one of the most widely used ground-water
remediation technologies. The pump and treat remediation approach is used at about three-
quarters of the Superfund sites where ground water is contaminated and at most sites where
cleanup is required by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and state laws. It is often
associated with treatment technologies such as Air Stripping and Liquid -phase Granular
Activated Charcoal. Although the effectiveness of pump and treat systems has been called into
question after two decades of use, this approach remains a necessary component of most ground-
water remediation efforts and can be appropriate for both restoration and plume containment.
