The Hazardous Waste Clean-up Information (CLU-IN) World Wide Web Site and Electronic
Bulletin Board System (BBS) provide information about innovative treatment technologies to
the hazardous waste remediation community. Both the web site and BBS offer a variety of
information for federal and state personnel, consulting engineers, technology developers and
vendors, remediation contractors, researchers, community groups, and individual citizens.
CLU-IN World Wide Web Site

• Read about the operation, development, and
commercialization of innovative site character-
ization and remediation technologies and pro-
grams such as interagency consortia and public-
private partnerships designed to facilitate their use.
• Download recent documents and databases
designed to aid those responsible for hazardous
waste site remediation.
• Link to Internet sources of information on
environmental restoration and technology
development.

Types of Information on
CLU-IN
Some of the information available on the CLU-IN
system is summarized below.
• TechDirect. An information service that highlights
new publications and events of interest to site
remediation and site assessment professionals.
Approximately once a month, the service, via e-
mail, distributes a message describing the
availability of publications and events.
• Technology Innovation News Survey—Biweekly
Update. A summary of news items related to
research, commercialization, and applications of
hazardous waste remediation and site
characterization technologies!
• Tech Trends. A newsletter providing descriptions
and performance data for innovative cleanup
technologies that have been applied in the field.
• Ground Water Currents. A newsletter of
information on the development and
demonstration of innovative ground-water
remediation techniques. Includes reports on
technologies, new regulations that impact
ground-water remediation, discussions of issues
such as DNAPLs, and information on conferences
and publications.
• Bioremediation in the Field. An information
update on applying bioremediation to site
cleanup. Descriptions of treatability studies
underway; bioremediation projects at CERCLA,
RCRA, UST, and TSCA sites; and technical support
and publications offered by EPA.
• Underground Tank Technology Update. A
newsletter funded by EPA and published by the
University of Wisconsin-Madison providing
information about the cleanup of ground water
and soil contaminated by leaking underground
storage tanks.
• Innovative Treatment Technologies (ITT) Annual
Status Report. A report on applications of
innovative treatment technologies for remedial
and removal actions. The companion ITT
Database provides additional detailed site-specific
information.
• Full text documents on technologies such as
bioremediation, soil vapor extraction, surfactant
and cosolvent flushing, fracturing, treatment
walls, thermal enhancement technologies,
electrokinetics, and other ground-water and
physical/chemical treatment technologies.
Databases Available for Downloading
