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 http://clu-in.com • 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. • Link to the CLU-IN BBS with the click of a button. CLU-IN Electronic Bulletin Board System (BBS) (301) 589-8166 • Download the same files and databases offered on the WWW site. • Communicate with hazardous waste professionals online through the message exchange system. • Visit Special Interest Group areas moderated by EPA's Office of Underground Storage Tanks (UST), Association of State and Territorial Solid Waste Management Officials (ASTSWMO), and others. ------- 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 • Vendor Information System for Innovative Treatment Technologies (VISITT) • Innovative Treatment Technologies (ITT) Annual Status Report Database • Vendor Field Analytical and Characterization Technologies System (Vendor FACTS) • Bioremediation in the Field Search System (BFSS) Other Regularly Updated Information • Announcements of opportunities for contracting with the federal government on projects involving hazardous waste remediation. • Full text of recent Federal Register notices related to hazardous waste and ground-water issues. • Calendar of conferences, workshops, and technology demonstrations. • Announcements of new EPA publications.
