Information at Your Fingertips
What is EPA REACH IT?
Do you need reliable information about remediation
and characterization technologies? Would you like to
know about sites at which these technologies are being
implemented? Or, are you looking for a cost-effective
way to market your innovative treatment or
characterization technologies to key decision makers?
The new EPA REACH IT can help with streamlined access
to technology information.
REmediation And CHaracterization Innovation
Technologies (EPA REACH IT), sponsored by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s Technology
Innovation Program, is a system that lets environmental
professionals use the power of the Internet to search,
view, download and print information about innovative
remediation and characterization technologies and their
applications. EPA REACH IT is a free service to both
technology providers and technology users.
It combines information submitted by vendors of
remediation and characterization technologies with
information from EPA, the U.S. Department of Defense
(DoD), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and state
project managers about sites at which innovative
technologies are being deployed. The combination of
these sources provides you with up-to-date information
about:
B technologies you can use to characterize or
remediate a site,
H sites at which technologies are being used, and
H service providers that offer them.
EPA REACH IT includes a fully searchable database
that allows users to identify sites with characterization
and remediation challenges that closely match their own.
What's New in EPA REACH IT?
B Streamlined access to technology and vendor
information, including:
• Streamlined search functions, with one-page
search criteria selection and fewer pop-up
windows
• One-ciick access to searches on topics of
interest to the remediation community, the most
commonly searched technologies and
contaminants, and customized user-created
queries
" Faster searches for specific vendors, technology
trade names, and sites with alphabetical indexes
• One-click downloading of search results in a
spreadsheet
• A new Snapshots secfion thaf graphically
summarizes EPA REACH IT data
H In 2004, 30 new technologies were added and 30
technologies were updated. Many of trie new
technologies address difficult remediation
problems, including mercury, 1,4-dioxane, and
perchiorate. Page 3 lists these new and updated
technologies. They are summarized below.
Treatment Technologies
• Mercury treatment (1 3 new and 0 updated)
• Perchiorate treatment (0 new and 2 updated)
• 1,4-Dioxane treatment (3 new and 0 updated)
• Chemical Treatment -Oxidation/Reduction (2
new and 3 updated)
• Phytoremediation (0 new and 1 updated)
" Bioremediation (4 new and 6 updated)
• Others [1 new and 8 updated)
Characterization and Sampling
• DNAPL characterization technologies (1 new
and 2 updated)
• Sampling technologies (2 new and 1 updated)
• Others (5 new and 5 updated)

I Am a Technology Vendor. How Can I
Add Information About My Technology to
EPA REACH IT?
You can list your technology information on EPA REACH IT
free of charge by filling out a Vendor Information Form
(VIF). EPA REACH IT contains many types of remediation
and characterization technologies. Eligible technologies
are described on the EPA REACH IT website at
www.eporeac/irt.org on the "About EPA REACH IT" page.
The VIF is available:
H By accessing the EPA REACH IT home page at
http://www.epareachit.org
H By completing the one-page form on the insert to
this Fact Sheet, and mailing it to the address
printed on the back.
H By e-mail, with a request to
EPAREACHIT@ttemi.com
H In hard copy, with a request to the EPA REACH IT
help line at (800) 245-4505
You also can update existing information by accessing
your VIF with your password. If you have forgotten your
password, call or send an e-mail to the address listed
above.
What Are Hot Topics in the Cleanup
Community?
We are particularly interested in expanding EPA REACH
IT to include more technologies that address the
following:
- Dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPL)
- Sediment
- In situ thermal treatment
- In situ chemical oxidation
- In situ flushing
- Mercury
- 1,4-Dioxane
- Perchlorate
What are the Benefits of Being on
EPA REACH IT?
S The EPA REACH IT website is widely used by
federal agencies, states, consulting engineering
firms, responsible parties, technology developers,
and the investment community.
H EPA REACH IT is widely advertised at conferences
and through direct mailings to an extensive list of
potential users.
S EPA REACH IT is free to both providers and users
of innovative technologies. You can become part
of EPA REACH IT by investing only the time it
takes to complete the Vendor Information Form
(VIF) for your technology.
H The new system has updated site features and
functions, and more technologies, vendors, and sites.
