Conference Coals
The purpose of the conference is to help introduce
promising innovative domestic and international
hazardous waste treatment technologies through
technical paper and poster displays, to showcase
results of the U.S. EPA Superfund Innovative
Technology Evaluation ^STE Program and the
CAL/EPA Demonstration Program, and to present
selected case histories of DOE and USAGE
innovative technology applications. The overall aim
is to increase awareness in the user community of
technologies ready for application.
The conference consists of presentations of technical
papers and posters by international and domestic
vendors of technologies for the treatment of
hazardous wastes, including sludges, groundwater,
and soils. Selected case studies will also be
presented, providing results of application of
innovative technologies in real-life situations.
Jointly conducting this conference are:
• U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Technology Innovation Office
Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratory
Region IX
• California Environmental Protection Agency
(CAL/EPA)
* U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
• U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)

Sacramento Army Depot is being offered on
Wednesday, November 18. The bus will leave the
hotel at 8:00 AM and arrive at McClellan AFB at
approximately at 10:00 AM. The tour will begin
with visits to the Base's Bio-Slurry Reactor and Land
Treatment pilot facilities and end with a visit to the
Soil Vapor Extraction Facility where installation/
construction will be in progress. Luncheon (cash
basis) will be served in the Base's Officer's Club
where the Commanding General at McQellan will
deliver his welcoming remarks. The tour of
Sacramento Army Depot will begin with the Base's
Ultra-Violet Oxidation Ground Water Treatment
Plant and end with a visit to the Tank-2 Soil Vapor
Extraction System. The bus will return to the hotel
at approximately 5:00 PM.
Participation is limited; reservations wfll be
accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Individuals must pre-register for this trip by rilling
out the Field Trip Reservation Form provided in

Who Should Attend
The target audience for the conference includes EPA
Regional and State Agency staff, Federal, state, and
private clean-up contractors, potentially responsible
parties, facility owners/operators, vendors of
hazardous waste control technologies, DOE and
DOD representatives, and others who may be
interested in commercial interaction with domestic
and international companies.
Poster Sessions
Posters from EPA's Superfund Innovative
Technology Evaluation SI TCPrograms will be on
display at the two evening Poster Sessions/
Receptions. Posters from international vendors will
also be on display, providing attendees with an
opportunity to interact with the vendors of these
innovative technologies.
In addition, EPA and other Federal and state
agencies will be showcasing current publications
and data bases related to remediation of
uncontrolled hazardous waste sites. Video
presentations of SSffE demonstrations will be
ongoing throughout the conference.
Proceedings
EPA will publish an Abstract Proceedings following
the conference. This will consist of abstracts of the
paper and poster presentations. Each attendee will
be mailed a copy.
