             REmediation  And  CHaracterization  Innovative Technologies
                       Innovative  Technology
               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)
